• Game Squirrel Typedef-equivalent in C#?

  I pass integer IDs to a variety of functions. I want to create a type for each ID so the compiler can check I am passing the right type. In C I would do this with typedefs. E.g.: typedef int personID; typedef int addressID; void DoSomething(personID p, addressID a) { ... } How can I do this in C# Creating an entire class seems like a lot of overhead. using personID = int; This gives me a synta ...Show All

• Brendonv Visual C# Look and Feel nice in XP, ordinary in 2000, why?

  Hi, I downloaded and am running Visual C# Express on my Windows 2000 machine. At first, I was slightly taken aback by the clumsy, clunky look of some of the dialogs in the IDE itself. That is, some of the buttons were strangely large and the size of some dialogs just didn't come anywhere near the professional, smart look of say, Office 2000. For example the "Edit Rows and Columns..." dialog if you right-click on a TableLayout panel. I'm not ...Show All

• Jeren C# 2.0 doesn't allow me to use System.Void?

  I love generics in 2.0! What a time-saving feature, less code to write! Plus it allows for more code re-use, and thus fewer bugs. I love generics, pat on the back to Anders and the C# team. I ran into a limitation, however, with C# 2 compiler and generics. I wanted to implement a method that would have a generic return type, for instance: TReturn ExecuteSomeDelegate<TReturn>(MyReturnableDelegate<TReturn> serverMethodToExecu ...Show All

• nrasinec Why is a cast of a Handle to HWND generating undefine value?

  Hi, I have some code which casts a handle to a Picture Box to HWND. Sometimes it works fine, and at other times it generates undefined value, and I can't see why. What I am doing is: At startup, before the GUI is displayed, I get the address of a Forms.PictureBox control using the Handle method, which returns a System::IntPtr. According to the docs, this should be valid at this stage, and a number is always returned. I pass this in t ...Show All
