• Visual Studio Team System Recommendations for organization of code within classes

  The Design Guidelines have been a great help and I am glad to see that FxCop helps enforce them. Do you, or does Microsoft have, any guidelines or recommendations on the formatting or organization of code within classes   For example, I prefer to order my code in my classes surrounded by regions as such: Constructors Constants Private Member Variables Public Propeties Private Methods Etc. Any guidance or help is greatly appreciated. Doug Ramirez Frank: Thanks for your response.  With regards to organizing groups of class members into their own regions, that is usually ...Show All

• Windows Forms RootComponentDesigner Add component

  Hi,     I noticed when you add an SqlDataAdapter from the toolbox to a component design surface it calls the wizard.     I can't reproduce this using code. I'm using the following in a Designer:     Note the Configure wizard is only called when my code explicitelly launches the designer verb, but in this way the SqlAdapter's commands don't get assigned unique names (ie they are named sqlSelectCommand instead of sqlSelectCommand1, and adding another adapter to the same component throws an exception since there's already an "sqlSelectCommand" in the root component).    Shouldn't the wizard ...Show All

• Windows Forms Create an event for the close button on the title bar

  Hello, I am using VS 2003. Lets say for example we have just a simple form and at the top of the form we have the default minimize, maximize and close button. How would I create an event for when if the user clicks the close button at the top of the form before the window closed it would perform an operation For example, if the user clicked the close button at the top, it would print a message box saying "Are you sure you want to close" or something of that nature. I simply just want to be able to execute some code when the user clicks that close button. Thanks. ~zero sorry this code i was sending to some other ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro checking RTF control for EMPTY ()

  I have trouble checking programmatically that RTF.textRTF is empty. If it is visually empty to the viewer the function EMPTY (RTF.textRTF) returns .F. If I use an assignment m.memVar = RTF.textRTF I can print it out as a set of strings (about 3) of formatting characters. It is after the control was filled with some text and subsequently that text was deleted (manually) in the control window. How can a test be done to verify that the control is empty Thanks. The presence of additional formatting characters also creates another problem. If I want to encrypt the content of RTF.textRTF those characters get in the encryption and when ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Embeddable database or DBF Library?

  I have been using the Pocket Access database format for my applications as they do not need SQL Server and the customers do not need SQL Server / MSDE on their desktop. I don't feel that XML is a valid option for a database but I may be wrong. Any alternatives to Pocket Access and or SQL Server would be appreciated. I was wondering if anyone had seen a DBF library in C# that can be used in the Compact Framework. Thanks in advance for ANY help or suggestions. Most every app I have syncs with the desktop. Export files just are sloppy in my opinion. Thanks for the idea though, I will look into it but for me it ...Show All
