• Visual Basic entering the time and date on a form

• Visual Basic Why only 1 base class allowed?

  Hi, Im new to .NET. I have a set of AppDev training cds and the lesson on Inheritance briefly flashed over base classes. I understand the concept of Inheritance, but why are derived classes only allowed to inherit from only 1 base class DM It's a decision the CLR designers took way back. Allowing multiple inheritance has its own set of problems. See http://blogs.msdn.com/csharpfaq/archive/2004/03/07/85562.aspx or Google "multiple inheritance" for more details on its pros and cons. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Trouble with Visual C++

      Hello, I'm having some trouble with Visual C++ . It seems like a lot of things in the program don't, "Update," correctly. For example, I started a very small project, and compiled it with no troubles. I used the namespace std, and it gave me no errors. Then, I created a new project, and tried using the same namespace. It said that it did not exist. Why is this happening     Thanks in advance for any help. Marking Jonathan's answer as a correct one till a reproducible sample is posted. JFlash, please unmark the post once you post a sample. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Globalization of special folder names

  I turned on the code checking feature of VSTS - what a mistake At any rate it got me thinking because it was suggesting that I put my strings into resources. Is there a method that will deliver the culture dependent strings for the special folder names, in particular Desktop, My Documents, My Pictures, etc. Rather than displaying file names like C:\Documents and Settings\This user\Desktop\somefile.doc, i'm displaying Desktop\somefile.doc Don't know what the standards say about this, and I know the horrible long path name will be a bit shorter in Vista, but since Windows uses My Documents and Desktop in its dialogs, etc, I think my p ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista 5270..good install..need drivers

  Hey everyone, Alright, well i had a successful install but afterwords i am left with some things in my device manager. I figured that. I can figure out all of them except for the mass storage controller device. How do I find out what driver it is asking for That is currently a problem A trick i use is to remove the device from device manger and let windows pick it back up by doing a rescan. This has usally ended up in telling what the device is. You should also turn on auto update as new drivers are being offered all the time there. Josh http://windowsconnected.com ...Show All
