• Visual C# C# equivalent to C "union"?

  Is there a C# equivalent to the C union typedef I have a 64 byte array that can either be byte or int (USB data packet). I would like to be able to access these bytes as either type. In C I would declare: typedef union byte_array { struct { byte byte1; byte byte2; byte byte3; byte byte4;}; struct { int int1; int int2;}; };byte_array   ...and access them by: byte_array myarray; mybyte = myarray.byte1; myint = myarray.int1;   How would I accomplish this in C# It would honestly depend on a variety of other factors. If I could detect the type of the incoming data, I would create two differen ...Show All

  Greetings, I have a, hopefully fairly easy, question regarding the ActionsPane.  The problem occurs when I have my VSTO application running and I launch another Excel (non-VSTO) spreadsheet and subsequently switch back to my app.   The ActionsPane disappears despite my futile call to show it when my app is activated:         private void ThisWorkbook_ActivateEvent()         {             ActionsPane.Show();         } Any ideas Kind Regards, Dima Kher ...Show All

• .NET Development How to find currently MAC address of the PPP connection ( Modem conn. )

  Hello, Ho w can i find progammatically the MAC address of the PPP connection and their default GW Mac i see this addresses for example by caturing packet on dial-up conn. with Etherreal. By using WMI i not get the same, any body have the ideas regards Here is the answer from the PPP team Looking at the thread the MAC header that is seen on Ethereal is the dummy Ethernet header added between WANARP and NDISWAN. This way the network monitors (like ethereal) sees the PPP interface as an Ethernet interface. But on wire (like dialup in this case), the packet will not contain that Ethernet header, ...Show All

• Visual C++ Refreshing an rich edit box

  Hi all, I created a Rich Edit box using MFC and am trying to do a refresh on the edit box. I did an UpdateData() function but it keeps overwriting the current data with new data. I don't want to do that. Basically, I want to keep the current data as well as add the new data on to it. I tried the append (+=) function, but when I call the UpdateData() function, it takes a while to update. I am appending large quantites of data which slows the update function. How do I make it appear quickly Is there way to go about this 1. I believe it will happen once unless I switch to another file. 2. The string I ...Show All

• Visual C# BackgroundImage in TreeView control

  How do you insert/change the BackgroundImage property of a TreeView control in C# 2005 Please let me know if you need further clarification on my problem, but I think it's pretty self-explanatory. While numerous reference documents state that using a BackgroundImage in a TreeView can be accomplished, I'm having no luck doing so through either directly setting this property like this: Tree2.BackgroundImage = imageList1.Images[1]; or through using get/set statements. public class myTreeView : TreeView { public override Image BackgroundImage { get ...Show All
