• Visual C# Using an Ada generated .Net dll in C#

  Greetings, I'm currently using Ada as my main programming language. The only issue that I have with this language is that there is not any decent GUI builder designed for it, so I tried to build a test .net dll with the functions that I needed in Ada and then call it from a form built in C#. Here is an example of the code that C# executes when pressing the button of the test form: private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Serious Error while debugging

  Hi, While debugging the VSTO application, I am getting following error: "ContextSwitchDeadLoack" The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x159ba8 to COM context 0x1598c8 for 60 seconds.

• .NET Development ResourceReader(stream)

  The fact that ResourceReader can take a stream in it's constructor suggests that there can be several resources in one stream (which once made into a RR can be traversed with an enumerator).

• .NET Development Using unmanaged arrays in managed code

  Hi, I'm wondering how to use an unmanaged array in managed code. Right now, I have something like this: pixelData = new byte[sizeInBytes]; Marshal.Copy(pUnmanagedPixelData, pixelData, 0, sizeInBytes); where I basically copy the unmanaged data to a managed array. It works fine, but my gut tells me that it seems unncessary and wasteful to have to make a copy. What do I have to do to access the unmanaged data directly from managed code without havi ...Show All

Creating a winform.  I add a datasource to my windows project.  I add a new form.  In beta2 (as I remember it) you simply draged tables or columns from the datasources tab to a form.  However, my datasources tab has nothing in it when I am on a form.  If I click on a dataset window (an .xsd window) I see the datasources as I would expect them.  That is, there are tables li ...Show All
