• Visual Basic validation woos

  I have an Access backend with a VB.Net 2003 frontend.  In the table, I set an input mask for both the telephone and zipcodes.  I also set them as required fields.  But, when I input in the form, it lets me put anything in the field or leave it blank.  what am I doing wrong I don't know if you are creating Windows Forms application or ASP.NET application. Validation controls (like Required Validator) are available only in ASP.NET applications. If you are creating Windows Forms application, then you must use Validating event on textbox. Like in this code sample Private Sub TextBo ...Show All

• .NET Development Why can I not constrain a generic to be of an Enum?

  I've got a class that I want to use a set of Enums as the parameter for the generic, why dosn't the compiler let me do this public class Acme<T> where T : Enum{   private T currentValue;   public T Value{     get{return this.currentValue;}     set{this.currentValue = value;}   } } > surprising also is System.Object , it cant be used as well . Constraining that something must be derived from Object is esentially no constraint since everything derives from Object.  If you mean that you want to constrain to classes, you could use: public   c ...Show All

• Visual C# how to convert array into an array of bytes?

  Hi, I'm busy in C# trying to send an array (of string) structure from a server to a client app. I cannot find anywhere how to do this. Im using sockets to do this. but there isnt any method to convert the array into byte[]. Any suggestion would be appreciated. byte[] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes( "Diego" ); You can use Unicode if your string contains non-ASCII characters. Another handy method is int System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetByteCount( string ) if you want to make buffer calculations before the conversion takes place.

  I'm trying to set up a fairly complex build environment consisting of multiple configurations.

I re-open the same project plan as above. I save the plan (with or without changes made) and the event code does not fire. I open the VBA editor and the code is intact. No matter what I do now, the event code never fi ...Show All
