• Visual C# Items are not removed from Error List until project build

  One thing I didn't like at all in my transition from VB.NET to C# is that C# does not remove items from the Error List when they are corrected by the developer. Items are removed only the Build is requested. On the contrary, VB removes items dynamically when corrected. The same applies to the Syntax underlining. When an error is corrected in the code editor vb removes the underlining. C# requires to build the project in order to check if the syn ...Show All

• .NET Development response = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.GetResponse();

  for .net 2.0 I would have assumed that if the url that I was trying to get was not available i.e. file not found I could do response = (HttpWebResponse) httpRequest.GetResponse(); and look at the status from the response, however, if the page is not there an exception is raised response is null and I don't have a good way of dealing with this in a catch block. Based on the documentation I would have not expected a page not found to raise a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visio and Visual Studio 2005 (Standard)

  I have Visio 2003 (Professional) on my system and I would like to use it with Visual Studio 2005 for reverse engeneering without having the expense of upgrading my Visual Studio edition. Is this possible If not why not - seems to me one purchases Visio in good faith and then purchases VS2005 in good faith but they do not work together! If this is true it would be like being unable to embed an Excel spreadsheet in a Word document!

• Visual C# putting attributes into existing assemblies

  Hi, I was told that there is something called "Byte Code Engineering Library" for manipulation of Java Byte Code. Similar to that there is a "Microsoft Byte Code Engineering Library" (MBEL) for .NET. It is in the link given below.    http://www.cs.arizona.edu/mbel But the thing I was asking was in the "limitations" section of that library.It seems the internal structure of custom attributes in .NET is complex.
