How to display the character as normal text. I knew Mnemonic function avoiding the underscore to display. Please help me.

• Visual C# Inmediate window functionality for C#

  hi, i was just using vs2005 and discovered the inmediate window, wich allows us to put a sample of code and test/debug it without much problem (and wich is perfect for testing something in your algorithm, or a very simple concept without modifying your code), i was wondering if a command line tool or anything alike already exists, if not wouldn't it be cool to make one, i know it would prove an invaluable tool aside, that sometimes you just want to prove a concept very quickly and the loading of the entire vs is unnecesary [:-)] Hi, Try this tool. Its a Snippet compiler. Its a mini VS compiler. a very usef ...Show All

• .NET Development Byte array -> String encoding

  Greetings and sorry for the likely newbie question. I also hope this is in the right forum! What's the most "pure" way to encode a Byte array into a String I've performed several searches but none have yielded much insight into my particular problem. I'm using C++, COM Interop into a VB6 application that uses a String return for socket class, but the actual issue is in the .NET native code. Using: Encoding::ASCII->GetString(byteArray, 0, iNumBytes) .. converts values >7 bits to a replacement value... and Encoding::UTF8->GetString(byteArray, 0, iNumBytes) .. truncates the higher value chars from the conversion totally.. ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling an Oracle Package using DBProviderFactory

  I am trying to create a generic DAL and I am almost there. I can query the Oracle Database without any problem using straight sql, but when I try to call returning a cursor I get the following error: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GET_PROGRAMS' I have attached the code that executes to return the datatable.

But when I do an autos watch on my debugging I can see the parameter is an oracleparameter and the direction is output, but it ...Show All

• Visual Basic A Modest Proposal for Microsoft

  I've been a Basic programmer for over 30 years and that whole time I've endured the constant reminder that I'm not a "real" programmer. I know better and you know better but still there's that stigma associated with being a Visual Basic programmer vs. being a C++ or a C# programmer. Now that I use VB.Net it really couldn't be further from the truth since VB.Net does everything any contemporary OOP language does. So here's my suggestion, since Visual Basic.Net is about as much like Visual Basic as C# is like C, why not change the name of Visual Basic.net to B# Now instead of being a VB programmer, I'm a B# programmer. Sound ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS2005 unnecessary build for project

  In a solution, a particular project appears to Build for no reason which I can discover when I choose Build. Is there any way to determine why the IDE Builds a project, in other words why it is deciding that it needs to actually do anything when one chooses to Build Can a makefile be generated from within the IDE for a project or is there any way to get the IDE to show something which will lead me to discover why it is Building In this project the IDE will actually compile the source files, not just do the link, when it appears to be totally unnecessary.
