• Visual Studio IScanner, scanning order, using Managed Package Framework.

  I've noticed that IScanner can jump around a file seemingly at random when SetSource() is called. This is OK for some circumstances, but a language I am implementing (using the Managed Package Framework) supports nested comment blocks, basically: /* blah /* nested */ blah! */ When my IScanner is updated sometimes the colorization goes to hell. Is there any way to force anything calling IScanner to only call it "top to bottom" (AKA, if you're g ...Show All

• .NET Development SqlCommand class sealed!

  To .net dev team, Why is the SqlCommand class sealed If there are member functions that cannot be overridden then it should be the functions that are sealed, not the entire class! I want to log the sql statements that were executed and it could have been something as simple as inheriting from SqlCommand with the constructor logging the SQL and it cannot be done!
