• Visual Studio Team System Unit Testing Issue - comparing structures (probably any objects)

  I have a web service method which returns a structure. In order to test that the correct data is being returned, I call the method and then populate an identical structure with the same data. It appears however that there is no way to get the unit test to identify them as identical. I had to compare each and every property of the object in order to determine that they are identical. Is there any easy way to do this Thanks. Jeff Hi Jeff, If they are "struct"'s, you should be able to use Assert.AreEqual(StructDataExpected, StructDataActual, "My error Message")  to compare the two structures. Behind the sc ...Show All

• .NET Development Best encryption/decryption for strings

  I am looking for the best way to encrypt and decrypt a password. I looked into RSA but it gets too messy when you can only encrypt one letter at a time and get a byte[ ] back etc... Anyone know anything easier whether it is a built-in encryption/decryption or some class typed up from scratch Pref. something where you hand it a password and it encrypts the password into another string and vice versa but is just about as secure as this built in RSA. Thanks! ~Lauren What do you mean by "one letter at a time" e.g. string text = "abcdef" ; Console .WriteLine(text); // encrypt RSACryptoServiceProvider ...Show All

• Visual Basic String function

  Forgive me for this probably simple question, but is there a predefine function that will return part of a string. ex. If s is a string value of "basic" and I wanted to return just the first letter "b", is there a predefine function that will do that That is correct.    Left$, Mid$ and Right$ are all functions that have existed in many different versions of Basic including VB6 and even way pre-dating Visual Basic,   I look back to many of the versions of BASIC that existing in the 80's such as the Sinclair, TRS, Dragon, BBC Micro&nb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Mixing relative and absolute paths

  Hi, In FxCop 1.32 you can either have relative paths within a project using the shared project option, or have all paths be absolute. I would find it really usefull if there was a way to use both kinds. I want to have relative paths for the assemblies to analyze and absolute paths for any custom rules assemblies. Is there a reason why this is not allowed /Johan If you mix absolute and relative paths, yes, the GUI will blast this information on a project save. If you move to using environment variables to represent absolute paths, this information will not get blown away. The downside, of co ...Show All

  Hi, A message box saying that the "Index was outside the bounds of the array" pops up each time there is a refresh of the Team Explorer panel. Everything still seems to work fine though. Anyone knows what is going on I assume it is a problem at the Team server since all the Visual Studio working on that Team Project have the same message when doing the refresh.

• Visual C# Set RegistryKeyValue For All Users?

  hi how i can set keyvalue on registry..so it will be read for all users..on system..for example if have 2 users (administrator (default)..and (user))..i want to set key value on registry..and be seen by the two users without setting the keyvalue twise... please help.. Thanks Bassam Basamad There is no All Users key for the registry. If you want to store a value that all users see then you should use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Otherwise you have no choice but to enumerate the HKEY_USERS subkey and set the entries for each user. However security may cause you problems here. Fortunately however, barring security, the code is a si ...Show All
