• Visual C# Is there still no way to reference a member overloads topic with CREF?

  In XML Doc comments, there are many times that I would like to reference (using cref) a type member's overloads page instead of any specific overload. Something like <see cref="System.Console.WriteLine(*)"/> is what I would expect. Is there still no way to do this in C# 2.0 In previous versions of C#, I used to use <see cref="System.Console.WriteLine"/>. This still appears to work, however, now the C# 2.0 compiler warns with the following: Ambiguous reference in cref attribute: 'System.Console.WriteLine'. Assuming 'System.Console.WriteLine()', but could have also matche ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie General Questions & Error on Non-Dev Machines

  Hello, I've just started programming C++ as of today, so yes I am a newbie, but I do have some experience in Java and GML so hopefully it will come in handy. First off I'd like to know if there is some kind of function list for standard C++ Libraries.. For Java and GML their is an obvious list of all the functions and parameters easily available to all programmers. From what I can see, even MSDN doesn't offer something like this. Secondly whenever I use, lets say, #include <windows.h> I get an error similar to: Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory c:\documents and settings\ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Impossible to install visual studio 2005

  Impossible to install visual studio 2005 because the "vs_setup_msi could not be opened", i tried with different versions of visual studio like c# or c++ 2005 (express or standart) & i've allways the same message & can't install it.

• .NET Development STARTTLS support?

  I'm struggling a bit with a VB.Net 2005 app that requires SMTP STARTTLS support, both from the client (initiating) and from the server (receiving) side. STARTTLS allows email clients and servers to begin with a non-encrypted TCP/IP session and then "upgrade" the connection using encrypted TLS upon the client issuing the STARTTLS command. I believe I can use the standard socket class and then overlay the SSLStream class, also bringing in the certificate class. Thanks for any insights, code snippets, etc. that you may have. -Jim You should use EnableSSL=true. You say that once you used it you are getting ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Assembly Security

How are we suppose to write a secure .NET app since it can be disassemble Is there a way to do it or perhaps possibility Or what's your recommendation / suggestion Regards, David [.NET NEWBIES] Hi David, The best way to protect an Assembly from beeing decompiled is to use an obfuscator like Dotfuscator from PreEmptive Soluctions.

• .NET Development Populating Multiple Typed-DataTables with one SQL query

  Hi All, I don't think this is possible, but if it is I'll be delighted!! I have a typed dataset with two datatables - lets say 'Person' and 'Car' - like this: Person - Columns: PersonID, Name, TelNum Car - Columns: CarID, PersonID, RegPlate, Colour . Each person can have mulitple cars.  Now imagine I want all the cars for people called 'Smith'.  In SQL this is easy - SELECT * FROM Person p INNER JOIN Car c ON c.CarID = p.CarID WHERE p.Name LIKE 'SMITH%' .  However, if I run that SQL through ADO.Net, it will just return one datatable with the columns from both tables in (which i know is normally desired). ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) HierarchicalDataTemplate, ItemsSource and CollectionViewSource

  Hello! Is there a way to specify, in XAML, that a HierarchicalDataTemplate may have it's ItemsSource object to be wrapped by a certain CollectionViewSource (The instance of CollectionViewSource could for instance provide sorting of the ItemsSource collection) If yes, may you provide a hint, please ! Best regards, Henrik Dahl Hi Henrik, Unfortunately there is a bug in FebCTP that prevents this from being possible to do in XAML. The correct markup to do this (which would work if we didn't have this bug) would be the following: <Window.Resources> <ObjectDataProvider MethodN ...Show All
