• Windows Forms User Control Reference problem

  Hello - I have a problem with a solution originally created in VS.NET2003 and converted to 2k5. I created some user controls in my winforms project. Since the controls reside in the main exe, I had to trick the toolbox into looking at the exe in the bin folder for the controls (could not use the controls automatically added to the toolbox - I assue this is because they were in the same assembly).  When I open a form that uses on eof my us ...Show All

• .NET Development Unmanaged application using managed library can't find referenced assemblies

  There's a C# application with some DLL's. There's an unmanaged application (Total Commander) and I want to create a plugin for it that uses some functions from my C# libraries. I figured the best interface is a managed C++ library: it implements the unmanaged plugin interface by exporting the necessary functions, and it calls into my managed code, so I don't have to reimplement that library. Problem is, it can't find the referenced assemblies (F ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Moving through error list

  Hello, I have been using Visual Studio, and most specifically, VC++ from version 4.0 to version 6.0, and lately I have been meaning to finally catch up with the latest. Since I've skipped a generation and another one is about to be released, I thought I'd skip 2003 as well and wait for 2005. To prepare for it I decided to download VC++ Express 2005 Beta 2 and the install went flawlessly (I downloaded the CD-image and installed that). Then I got ...Show All

• Visual C# Potential Bug with C#

  The screenshots speak for themselves. Debug - 4 is the most relevant shot. Take a look at the values shown in Watch 1, and the execution path that is being followed. What should happen is, base.Text == null evaluates to true, null is returned and life is good. What does happen, is that some how it passes over that part of the if, falls into the else and then executes the code highlighted in Debug - 4. A null reference exception is then thrown, b ...Show All
