• .NET Development Thread safety of instance member Regex.IsMatch()?

  I'm using a singleton object which holds a precompiled Regex object: _identityRegex = new Regex( pattern ) In an instance method, that may be unpredictably busy, I make a call to the IsMatch method of the Regex object: bool ok = _identityRegex.IsMatch( input ) Question is: According to the Regex documentation " Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe ". But I need to know whether this particular one is thread safe - or if will I need to put this call inside a lock (monitor), with the potential wait it entails Thanks, Niels When using the singleton pattern, you a ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 Release Candidate, Different Component Versions Between Machines

  I and several fellow workers have VS 2005 RC installed and previously had beta 2 installed. We are finding that the version numbers in the About Box in VS are showing different numbers for VB, VC# etc -- all the same except for the last 5 digits for each of us -- mine is 00018, another is 00503, another is 00101, another is 00917. Is this expected, or did we not clean up properly from beta 2 and need to reinstall Jim That is not a version number. The number you're looking at can vary from one installation to another, and I believe part of it is derived from the registration information you enter. The versi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to read and write a text file without screwing up the encoding

  I am writing a program that reads in a text file, makes some modifications, and then writes the modified version to a new text file. The problem is that any non-english characters in the text file get turned to gibberish. I know this has to do with the encoding of the text files, but I can't figure out what I am supposed to do to keep this from happening. What class do you use to save your updates to a textfile Or better yet, can you provide some codes so we can see what is causing the problem. -chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView & DataGridViewComboBoxColumn datasource

  Hello, I am using VS2005 & SQL2005 RTM. I am curious why does it error if the DataGridViewComboBox cell's items list does not contain the value that this combo box is bound to Like ASP.Net 1.1's DataGrid control, I was expecting that if the value the combo box was bound to wasnt present in its items list that nothing would show. Throwing an error is a bit annoying for an acceptable situation such as this. Another reason is that when I go to the new row, I cannot add a record; it errors out with: System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid. since the default value of the new row's Guid field (00000 ...Show All

• Smart Device Development problem with dock fill

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Version 8.0.50727.42. In a PocketPC2003 project, I am having trouble seting up one of my forms. The first thing I did is create a panel and dock it to the top. Then I created a label and a few check boxes and put them inside the panel. I docked the label to the top of the panel. below the first panel I have a splitter, also with its' dock property set to top. This positions it just below the first panel. Then, below the splitter, I have another panel with its' dock property set to fill. This causes it to fill up the remaing portion of the form. So far everything is working fine. Then inside ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to make DataGridView cell button style like Office 2003?

  Howdy folks, In Infragistics, it's possible to set a cell's button style to Office2003. This gives it a nice gradient appearance that you see if things such as Outlook. I love the ease of use with the new DataGridView in VS 2005, but need the Office 2003 button appearance to look like the Infragistics button. Does anybody know how to do this I would also like to do the same thing with normal buttons, although the Infragistics versions of these are OK to use so that's not as big of a priority as the datagridview buttons. Thanks, Dan You can use the CellPaint event to customize the app ...Show All

• Visual C# Checking if a specific handler exists

  I was wondering if there was a simple way that I can check to see if a specific handler exists for a control. I know I can simply create and set a boolean variable to true once I create the handler, but I was hoping that there was a simple way, without the use of additional variables, to check whether or not the handler has been created: My control is a TreeView, and is called tvRobot. I create the BeforeSelect handler, tvRobot_AlwaysBeforeSelect, within another event. The problem is, is that I have two handlers for the BeforeSelect event, both of which get created and destroyed throughout the program, so I can't simple check t ...Show All
