• Visual Basic Type parameters cannot be used as qualifiers?

  Hello, then i can't access shared members! I think it should be possible to access shared members of a type parameter class. Is there a possibility to do this Regards, Markus i needed it to let the base class do tasks for derived classes in a type-safety way. For safing coding amount. It is ok for me to access shared members through the constraining type itself. It was for something like this: Public Class clsConnectionList _  (Of clsConnectionList_Derived As {clsConnectionList(Of  clsConnectionList_Derived), New})   Public Shared Function ObjGet(ByVal pstrOID As String) As clsConnecti ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DependentUpon missing in VS2K5 Extensions beta 2

  Hi, I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation (beta 2) and I have a problem when I add "Sequential Workflow (with code separation)" to a "Sequential Workflow Console Application" project. After adding the item to the project two files appear in the VS Solution Explorer: Workflow.xoml as Workflow.xoml.cs. But the problem is that they aren't related. The .xoml.cs isn’t under the .xoml. I can edit the workflow in the designer, I even can add activities to the workflow but when I try to add a Code activity and try to set the ExecuteCode property the method isn't created in the .xoml ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System DataCompare Issue- Workaround

  I have downloaded the CTP and as a DBA was interested to see the functionality of the SchemaCompare and DataCompare Options. The SchemaCompare option ran great and returned very helpful results. I ran into an issue with the DataCompare feature, however. I used the same connections that had successfully worked for the SchemaCompare and chose a single table to compare the data from, I know this table holds ~9m rows and was using it as a benchmark. After finishing the selection wizard I got a message stating something about connecting to the databases and noticed that both connections had 'Red X Syndrome', I re-ran the DataCompare and chose ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MSMQ for .NET CF limitation

  OK, here is our MSMQ needs.  We are looking to replace our current middleware messaging solution (Broadbeam ExpressQ) with MSMQ.  We would need a single MSMQ server (Windows Server 2003) running in workgroup (private queues) mode.  We also will have multiple Pocket PC clients running MSMQ that will be connecting over IP using Sprint, Verizon, Cingular, etc.  I have recently discovered the CE limitation of not being able to read from remote queues.  This is looking like a deal breaker for us.  How are people solving this problem   If I push messages from the server using the DIRECT:TCP method, I am pushing ...Show All

• .NET Development VB.NET - How do I use Doevents() in Class Library

  Using VB.NET 2005 - Beta 2, I've created a Windows Form Application with a single form and several new Classes and now I am trying to separate them and make a .dll out of the custom classes. I created a new "Class Module" project and used "Add Existing Item" to select each of the custom class.vb files. Some of the methods attached to my custom classes take a while to run and so I had coded them interspersed with "windows.form.application.doevents()" statements. Now that there is no form in my new project, these lines are generating errors that "Application" is not a member of "Forms". So my question is: How can I add a 'Doevents()' ...Show All
