• Smart Device Development Can someone recomend a very good wireless service for PocketPC

• .NET Development Unsafe methods and managed code

  Dear all, I am re-designing an image/video processing package that I wrote a while ago to use C# for the GUI part such that development on that end is quicker. However, I want to keep the performance by having the processing run on unmanaged code. There are of course many ways to do this but the simplest that I have found was to have my interfaces declare an "unsafe" method that processing classes will override. However, I am not certain and couldn't find any info on it either, if "unsafe" also means that the code will run unmanaged. Brief code listing: C# public interface Processor {  unsafe void doStu ...Show All

• Visual C# Problems with the TextBox :/

  I have added a text box to the form and I am trying to trap the 'enter' key in the key_up event, it does what I want it to do as far as that but I have text in my text box and when the 'enter' key is released the text in this box is added to another text box, now that works well, but it beeps when ever I hit enter in my textbox! Can anyone explain how to prevent this. I don't want the user to hear a beep everytime he hits enter in this textbox while there is data there, only when there is no data to be sent i.e. textbox1.text = Nothing... Thank you for viewing! -will, I'm sorry ming, that block is not really ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unit testing unmanaged code

  Over the last few years we've been writing an application that has a number of modules and DLL to make up the core product - most of the code is written in unmanaged C++ dlls, which use STL - the Wn32 Interface is all C++.NET though, which calls these DLLs.  This is done to give us the ability to use the core code under other OSes (eg, MacOSX).  Unfortunately, it looks like Microsoft are doing everything possible to make non-C++.net development difficult.  Oh, how nice it would be if Unmanged DLL Unit Testing were an easy task. It seems, if I compile my unit test with /clr, and include my header files for the classes tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Project Classification

  Hi, can anyone explain the classifications in Team projects from a usage perspective. I understand how to create classifications and use them in work items but I have an understanding issue especially with Project classification (ProjectModelHierarchy) and wasn't able to find information on this. But I would also appreciate a small description around both classifications iteration and project. Thanks, that clarifies the idea behind the project classification, Iteration was clear from the meaning but needed the approval you gave me in TS context. May I add two more questions to this topic: - Is there any automatism behind the class ...Show All

• Visual Basic Build Complete Notification Sounds - another workaround

  I just upgraded to Visual Studio 2005 from VS6.0  and I cannot find any documentation for Visual Studio sounds schemes.  In VS6.0 I could have seperate sounds for "BuildComplete", "BuildError", and "BuildWarning".  In Visual Studio I can only create a sound for VS_BreakpointHit  Are any of the others available The three I mentioned in my post BuildComplete, BuildWarrning, and BuildError.  I found I didn't need notification for every warning or error durning the build, but an all done sound was very usefull.  Some sounds when doing a "Find in Files" would be nice as well. &nb ...Show All

• Visual C# foreach over an array, can I specify a predicate

  Can I do something like: foreach(string name (that starts with 'A') in people) { } maybe using regular expressions You can implement the IEnumerator interface, you return an enumerator that only iterates over the people that have a name starting with an 'A'. Read more about it here: Using IEnumerator and IEnumerable in the .NET Framework IEnumerable And IEnumerator interfaces But i think that is an lot of overhead. You can better just compare the iteration yourself: foreach ( Human human in people ) { if ( !human.FullName.StartsWith( "A" ) ) { // Name didn't start with an A so jus ...Show All
