• Visual C# "Simple" task becomming extremely frustrating (textbox.text and integers)

  Thanks for the help TAG.  I got that part working.  Now I have a new problem.  How do you append values to the end of another value   I don't want to add the values, just apped it (ie. 0 + 1 + 1 = 011, not 2).  Here's the code I'm using right now: iTempBin = iTempBin & iBin % 2;   All I get is the number 0 when I try to do this.  The result should not be 0. Edit: I figured this out.  Results below: iTempBin = string .Concat(iTempBin, iBin % 2);   ...Show All

• Visual C# Good C# Authors

  I was hopping I could get a couple of good recomendations for C# authors. I took a few C++ programing classes a few years and did a little programing back then, but I never really followed it. I've decied to get back into programing and want to get started with the C# language. Thanks! I really recommed Jesse Liberty, he has a Learning C# book as well as the Programming C# book. Or, there is a book targeted to non-programmers called Programming in the Key of C# by Charles Petzold that is pretty cool. If you are a non-programming right now I would definitly recommend either the Learning C# or "Programming in the Key of C#". Alot of the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing Native Code (C++ ) using Team Unit Testing frameworks

  I have been looking for some pointers or guide lines as to how do I test C++ unmanaged code using Unit Tesing capabilities of VS 2005. Do I need to write wrappers in managed code ( a sort of mixed mode class one that calls into managed code and other that calls the native code) Any suggestion welcome Regds Dinesh I don't see any workaround for this. For ExpectedExeption attribute you can specify either managed exception type or type + error message. For unmanaged exception you would get something like System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException. If you need to verify what's inside and the test in in C++, don't use ExpectedException ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiple Threads accessing RichTextBox.appendText Method (BeginInvoke)

  My user interface (running on the main thread) implements a RichTextBox object. I would like to append text to the RichTextBox (myRTB) from the main thread, and from a second thread. The problem I'm having is to interleave the results of the two threads. For the main thread, I simply use the method myRTB.AppendText(String NewText); For any async thread, I provide the method private delegate void AsyncWrite(String Text); public static void AsyncWriteLine(String Text) { AsyncWrite InvokeWriteLine = new AsyncWrite(MyRTB.AppendText); object [] args = new object [] {Text}; myRTB.BeginInvoke(InvokeWriteLine,ar ...Show All

• Windows Forms Inherited Click handler

  I have an MDI application in which all of the child forms inherit from a base form. This base form handles all of the common functionality of the child forms, including form initialization and closing logic. I have a protected method called CloseButton_Click which is supposed to be the Click handler for any button on a derived form which closes the form when it is clicked (primarily OK and Cancel buttons, but there a few other cases as well). The method sets the DialogResult of the form to the DialogResult of the button, and then closes the form (similar to the functionality of modal forms, but my forms are not modal). However, when I look a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help on Classes

  Hi, I am developing an IT Asset Tracking application using VB 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Will I need to create classes to represent objects such as Computers, Printers, Scanners/Faxes, Contracts, Purchase Orders etc or are there any other approaches. For example, if I am correct, I will have a class called Computer and its properties will include Make,Model,CPU,Hard Disk,Memory etc. Is this the right approach. Computers can be split up into Desktop PC's, Servers and Notebooks. Would I have to create separate classes for these as well or would they be ok under the Computer class Once I create an object from the c ...Show All

When we have done this we want to enable static analysis for our projects. The problem we have is that we don't have the resouces to fix violations in the old code. I have found a number of posts describing the posibillity of creating a baseline of violations and ony emitting warnings on new violations. What I can't find is a description how this is done using the VSTS environment. Could anyone point me in a direction where to look for more information in this matter. Regards, Christian ...Show All
