• Visual C# event declaration

  Hi. I'm experienced in VB but new in C#. What's the ecquievelant of the following in C# Public Event MyEvent(arg1 as string , arg2 as int) Public Sub RaiseMyEvent()     RaiseEvent MyEvent("bla bla",15) End Sub   It sounds like you want to race the event outside of the class you've declared it. This is not possible. You can only add or remove events (+=/-=) from the outside (public domain). The event can only be raised from within the class where you've declared the event (private domain). ...Show All

• Visual C++ c++/cli array in value struct

  I need to use a "value struct" for an application I've written but I now need to add a character array and a byte array into this structure. I don't know how to do this because I can't set the size of the array. I'm not able to use the ref struct because there is too much code already in place using the data as a value type. Please help!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial communications outputting and receiving one byte of data.....

I am trying to write one byte of data to a processor and a few milliseconds later receive the response. the outgoing is the addres ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF.exe get annoyance WRT missing files

  If you try to edit a .targets file in VS 2005 while it has it loaded via a project file, VS 2005 gets very unhappy and deletes the .targets file(s).  So I unload the solution and go to the command prompt to get these back.  I figured a simple "tf get" in the dir the files are located in would repopulate the missing files.  It didn't.  So I am a little confused.  I gather from this that the notion of what is in my workspace is stored on the TF Server.  The fact VS deleted the files (or if I delete them via Windows Explorer) doesn't seem to register with the workspace.  It still seems to think I have a partic ...Show All

• SQL Server Ready for Production?

  I must release a new Db on 4/1 into an isolated small network (pier workgroup) and my choices are MSDE or Express. I'm new to both (MSDE yesterday, Express today). I am familiar with SQL Server and prefer using the tools with Express, but i s it stable enough to use in this type of production environment I hope so. I also am going live with SQL Express 05 around April or May and it will be ran on 1-15 computer systems at a time. Also, just to make it fun... we are still running a VB6 front end so we are using ADO 2.8. I think it is ready. One way to find out. I'll post here if i come across somethin ...Show All
