• Windows Forms ControlStyles.ContainerControl

  How is this style used in Windows Forms   I see it marks the control as a container but does it change anything else Not really it changes anything visible to the control, all it does is to tell the designer that the control marked with ControlStyles.ContainerControl is a container control. In my opinion, it's better to derive your control to ContainerControl than manually setting the ControlStyles.ContainerControl style, as it does all the other things needed by the control to be a container, like autoscroll and clippings. Forms, for example, is derived from ContainerControl.

• .NET Development reflection.emit: How to emit an explicit interface implementation?

  Hi, Does anyone know how to create an explicit interface implementation using Reflection.Emit (I'd guess the solution uses MethodBuilder). For example, the following C#: public class MyClass : IEnumerable { ArrayList list; IEnumerator IEnumerable .GetEnumerator() { return list.GetEnumerator(); } } compiles to give the following IL for the GetEnumerator() method .method private hidebysig newslot virtual final instance class [mscorlib]System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() cil managed { .override [mscorlib]System.Collections.IEnumerable:: ...Show All

• Visual C++ CString char/wchar_t conflict

  I'm encountering a strange issue that I have not seen before. I recently built a new MFC app with VS .Net 2003. I am using the MBCS character set - e.g. UNICODE is not defined. The problem is that when I step into CString code down into the CSimpleStringT level, in atlsimpstr.h, it thinks it has wchar_t traits. However in the CStringT code (in cstringt.h), it thinks it has char traits. So, for example, I step into CStringT::Left() and see char traits, then Left() calls GetLength(), which is defined in atrsimpstr.h. Then when I step into GetLength(), suddenly it thinks it's a wchar_t string and returns 0 as the length. I tried rebuilding from ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registering Express Edition on 2 Computers

  Hi. I installed the Express Editions at work.  I then went to each product's Help menu, and clicked the "Register Product..." item.  I logged in with my Passport, verified my information, and received a Product Key that I pasted into the Registration Form. Sometime later, I installed the Express Editions on my PC at home.  I also went to each product's Help menu and clicked the "Register Product..." item.  From home, I logged in with my Passport, but instead of being taken to a Product Key that I could enter on the Registration Form, I was taken directly to the page that thanks everyone for registering.

• Visual FoxPro Open table exclusively?

  Forgive my ignorance - I've recently reinstalled XP and subsequently Foxpro 7.0. Now when i double click on a foxpro dbf file it opens the table and another datasession labeled 'B' (i'm supposing it's a datasession). Previously, when i opened a table i was in exclusive mode and didn't have this duplicate table open also. I normally work in exclusive mode because my data is not in a shared environment (i'm a vb developer). Any suggestions thanks, rroot01 Sounds like your XP is set to work with a single click.
