• .NET Development ResourceReader(stream)

  The fact that ResourceReader can take a stream in it's constructor suggests that there can be several resources in one stream (which once made into a RR can be traversed with an enumerator). Is this correct How can I get my embedded resources into such stream Take a look at the documentation for ResourceManager.  It is the starting point you will want to use to read localized resources: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemresourcesresourcemanagerclasstopic.asp You should also take a look at the docs on how to embed resources into your assemblies: http ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity Binding

  hi all, i wonder, how it would be possible, to bind properties of type collection. i tried two ways: 1) i declared properties of type arraylist and tried to bind them in the designer, which leads me to the "Object Collection Editor", which is not right... 2) i used a typeconverter on the activity property: [TypeConverter(typeof(ActivityBindTypeConverter))] this would lead me to the correct binding dialog, but creates an error, when trying to bind the properties: Object of type 'System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind' cannot be converted to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'. any ideas, how this ...Show All

We rewrite something that works !!! Now we would like to move to the newest development platform that is Visual studio 2005. Has anyone experince with a migration to VS 2005 from VS 6 with mixed languages I would like to know up front if I should worry ...

• Visual Studio Team System Catch and Exception Handling

  Sub test() Try Dim x As Integer x = 10 x = x * 15 Catch ex As SystemException Console.WriteLine("SystemException") Catch ex As InvalidCastException Console.WriteLine("InvalidCastException") End Try End Sub   The problem here is that the catch for SystemException comes before the catch for InvalidCastException. Since SystemException is a parent class for InvalidCastException, the catch for InvalidCastException should come first. It would. As it happens, though, the VB team pointed out to me that recent versions of the v2.0 vbc.exe compiler do emit a warning in this cas ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Will there be a WF official release with Office System 2007?

  Hi, I'm wondering if there will be a separate, official WWF release when Office System 2007 (and specifically SharePoint 2007) ships or if we'll have to wait until Vista ships to get an "official" build of WF with WinFX In the case where we'll have to wait until Vista ships, how will developers be able to develop custom Office workflows between the Office and Vista releases Thanks for any info on this, Raphael. As you probably know, WF did ship with Vista and is publicly available as a standalone package for other platforms. Office will ship with the same verstion of WF as is publicly available.
