• .NET Development Partial Classes not good OO design

  Does Microsoft even bother involving developers anymore in their process of developing new "features" I've spent about four hours with VS2005 now and can't believe the list of problematic improvements I've generated in that short time. Then I run across this partial class feature. What a pitiful idea. This isn't an object oriented concept at all - it's very much akin to using a preprocessor to insert code. The ability to " ...Show All

  is it possible to override default designer functionality specifically, i want to change how the designer responds to double-clicking on events in the property editor. instead of placing the event handler into the codebeside, i want to place it into a different file. is this possible No, I would not recommend this.  At best, this is very difficult to do, if not impossible.  The designer loads "docdata" only for the immediate file ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The enforcing of the ordering of schematized data elements in B2

  In B1, it was alphabetical-dependent. I was told that there will be an @ order at the datamemberattribute in B2. Is this proceeding My take is also that: Do allow validation / checking of ordering of data elements to be turned-off in case performance takes a compromise. See my blog post for more: http://www.softwaremaker.net/blog/EnforcingOrderingOfDataElementsWhenReceivingMessagesInWCFIndigo.aspx This is proceeding... :-) As to the abili ...Show All

• Visual Basic Use Class Library as ActiveX DLL and registering it on the machine

  I have an application that can use plugins written in VB6 as ActiveX DLL's. Now I read that these can also be written in VB.NET 2005 by creating a Class Libary and selecting Register for COM Interop on the Compile tab in the project properties. When I created the ActiveX DLL in VB6 I had to use regsvr32 commando to register on the machine that was going to use it. When I create a Class Libary in VB.NET 2005 do I also need to register it Or pl ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Missing assembly information in converted project

  This is a rather weird 'bug'. We upgraded a VS2003 Pocket PC project to VS2005. The conversion process didn't change AssemblyInfo.cs and when we go into the new Assembly Information screen in the project properties we see the settings as we set it. When we change it in that property screen, it does change in AssemblyInfo and vice versa. But when we build the project and have a look at the properties of the executable there is no version info ...Show All
