• S_J Overloads Question?

  I've been testing out some of the Inheritance features in VB 2005 and I came across something I don't understand. When I create two methods in my subclass with the exact same signature, intellisense underlines one of the methods with a blue squiggly line and warns me that I have multiple definitions with the same signature. This is the behavior I would expect. When I create two methods, one in the base class and one in the subclass, with t ...Show All

  How would I go about getting a macro within word to implement in a current vb.net application. Can you import a macro or .cls Has anyone ever done this Okay, I'm not a real big enthusiast on macros but from what I know, these are nothing more than routines that get fired when needed.

• danwsc How does VB compare to C# part 2

  I am sorry but my question was NOT answered at least not technically. But, what is clear is that there is a lot of strong feeling against VB's syntax that does not exist against C#. Several post indicated that they would not hire a VB programmer unless they programmed in C# syntax. I really find that disappointing. I thought the purpose of the framework having several syntaxes was to promote choice for the developer and make that choice s ...Show All

• Luisgph Refactor slow and not quite stable

  1. Opening VS2005 is slower, and opening a project is slower. No big deal, but if you start opening files before DXCore is finished loading, it hangs for quite a while. 2. Cursor movement is jerky, and somewhat annoying. This is on an AMD 3200+ w/GeForce6200. 3. Several times I accidentally hit both mouse buttons and/or keyboard keys, causing an IDE crash with loss of data. I mention this only FYI; these would not be big problems if I ...Show All
