• Visual Studio Team System DoNotDeclareStaticMembersOnGenericTypes (CA1000)

  In general I agree with the rule. However, what about operator overloads   Should they trigger this violation   And, if not, how do you prevent the violation only for operators The usage of an operator generally does not need to specify <T>. I.E.    public class MyClass<T> {       private T x;    // violation CA1000!    public static operator == (MyClass<T> left, MyClass<T> right)    {       return left.x.Equals(right.x)    } } ...    MyClass<xxx> = ...Show All

• .NET Development Is Microsoft serious about serialization?

  I've been working through a serialization model have been stumbling over many semingly simple serialization problems that lead me to believe that Microsoft is not serious about serialization. There does not appear to be a unified model or methodology to the serialization within .Net. For example, the latest problem I hit is that the System.Windows.Forms.Padding structure is not serializable. Why is it that Microsoft did not tag this seemingly simple structure with the Serializable attribute Is there some criteria Microsoft uses to decide what is serializable and what is not Another example is the inconsistency of the formatters. They are s ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Expose 'Structure' to VAB from ScriptHost

  We are developing an application that hosts VBA for extensibility. We are able to create and execute the VAB scripts, including the ability to have VBA call back into our host application. We are using VBA 6.4. and developing the application in C++ Visual Studio 2005. Our problem is that we need to expose a 'Structure' to the Visual Basic Script. We have been able to sucessfully define the structure in our host application's IDL, and VBA is able to recognize the structure (including Intellisense). The problem is when VBA calls back into our application, we keep getting a 'type mismatch'. ---- example stuct defintion ----- type ...Show All

• Windows Forms ToolStripMenuItem keyboard shortcuts swallow ListView/TreeView label edit shortcuts

  When the user enters label editing mode for a TreeView or ListView control, I would expect that keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-X, Del etc would be handled by the label edit control. This was the case with the beta 2 framework. However the behaviour of the 2.0 release framework seems to have changed in this area. It now seems that if the TreeView or ListView's parent form has a menu strip or context menu strip, then any key presses are first directed to the toolstrip for shortcut processing. This means that if you have a keyboard shortcut of Del defined for a menu item, and the user enters label editing mode and presses the Del key, th ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Performance issues with CellFormatting

  Hello: I'm using the DataGridView for displaying data to the user. The number of records that will be displayed at a certain time could vary between 0 and 150. I use the CellFormatting event handler to do some formatting like changing the font face and the background colors based on the cell values. Earlier we were iterating through the rows of the gridview to accomplish the same. Since the performance was dreadful, I changed the code to use the CellFormatting. Now, the performance when the gridview loads is a lot faster than the earlier approach. But everytime, we scroll through the gridview the application just hangs, and its bec ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convert BitmapImage to byte[]

  Hi all How can i convert a BitmapImage loaded with UriSource to a byte[ ] array so i can save it in SQLServer. I dont find how to convert to a Stream Thanks. On BitmapImage there is a CopyPixels method which will let you get the pixel data out in the form of an Array. Here you can pass it a byte[] and get what you need. Please keep in mind though that these are raw uncompressed image bits that are not format specific. So in order to use them in the future you need to use the BitmapSource.Create method to create a BitmapSource from an Array. Robert. ...Show All

• Visual C++ BUG; isalnum - asserts in debug build

  If you try (using VS2005) isalnum('￡') then you get an assert. The problem lies in '￡' being cast to an int -93. This is then cast to an unsigned and checked to see if it is withing 0 to 255. As -93 cast to an unsigned will give a huge number, we then get an assert. Andy Cooper From MSDN: When used with a debug CRT library, isalnum will display a CRT assert if passed a parameter that isn't EOF or in the range of 0 through 0xFF. When used with a debug CRT library, isalnum will use the parameter as an index into an array, with undefined results if the parameter isn't EOF or in the ra ...Show All
