Some of the functions expect a value for variables such as Page, Session and Control IDs.  When I create regular unit tests these vari ...Show All

  I’m trying to implement a Template Method in an abstract base class. I’d like to mark the Template Method with the [TestMethod] attribute, and have all the sub-classes run the test method.   However, the Test Manager says that methods of an abstract class can’t be marked as test methods.   My current workaround is having a method in the sub-classes (marked as [TestMethod]) call the Template Method of the base class. ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual C# Look and Feel nice in XP, ordinary in 2000, why?

  Hi, I downloaded and am running Visual C# Express on my Windows 2000 machine. At first, I was slightly taken aback by the clumsy, clunky look of some of the dialogs in the IDE itself. That is, some of the buttons were strangely large and the size of some dialogs just didn't come anywhere near the professional, smart look of say, Office 2000. For example the "Edit Rows and Columns..." dialog if you right-click on a TableLayout panel. I'm not ...Show All
