• Visual C# C# COM question

  I have a dll that I use in VB 6. I create a variable called DB, I access the records in the DB like this DB(index).PutStringField("data") when I try that in c# I get an error is a 'property' but is used like a 'method' I have no idea what to do because I have not done any COM interfacing in C#. Is it a simple syntax problem or do I need a different version of the dll that I have always used ANY help is greatly appreciated. It’s a syntax problem. In C#, the indexer is surrounded by square brackets, not round ones. Bruce Johnson [C# MVP] http://www.objectsharp.com/bl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Suggestion for class designer

  I'd like a "Show as Custom Collection Association" option for properties and fields. Here's an example: I have a class called Order which has some stuff about it. I then have a class called OrderCollection which inherits List<Order> and overrides/adds a property or method of some sort (otherwise we wouldn't need it). I then have a customer class that has a property of type OrderCollection. If I show that property as an Association, it links to the OrderCollection. If I show as an Collection Association, it links to the Order class. The only want to link OrderCollection to Orders is to show the indexer (this[]) as an associ ...Show All

• Visual Studio crystal reports and .net resource files

  I am a complete newbie when it comes to crystal reports. I am working on a project where I am going to make 3 realatively simple reports. However, the application is multilingual. I'd rather not make one report for each language (I just made one, and it was a drag to format because it is realtively crammed with infomation), so I am looking for a way to dynamically read from a resource file into my crystal reports. Is this possible If it is, how do I do it Well, I guess that my question was so trivial that either people did not understand it or they did not bother to answer it I guess I also should have formulated it differently, how d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can someone explain to me this command line syntax ?

• SQL Server calculations aggregating also Hidden Members

  Hi everybody, I'm trying to apply a calculation to a cube, in the Standard Edition. Dimension "Mesi" has got hidden members, which I don't want to see in my reports, but that should be aggregated. If I use the following code to aggregate the "first" member across the "Mesi" dimension (a Time dimension), the "Descendants...item(0)" function applies only to the visible items, whilst it should apply also to the hidden members (I mean that the item(0) could be also a hidden member and it should be considered). I have the same problem also using the OpeningPeriod function. I don't understand ...Show All

• .NET Development Monitoring and changing varibles in a process

  I was wondering how to get a value form a running process, lets say MySimpleProcess.exe that is running in memory. If i made a integer that was value of 15 and lets say I click the button and it drops to 10 then 5 then 0. I am trying to make a program that tracks an address in memory and its value. lets say address is B74EC4 value is 15 (4 bytes) Click B74EC4 is now 10 etc.. Are you talking about managed or native code There are several ways to get a value from a process. 1. Use the debugging APIs (aftearll, this is what debuggers do). 2.

• Visual C++ Is partial redistribution of VS 2005 DLLs allowed?

  We're looking at migrating our applications from Visual C++ 6 to Visual Studio 2005.  We link in the MFC and the C-runtime DLLs.  Since users download our application over the Internet, we need to minimize the download size as much as possible.  We would need to redistribute the VS 2005 DLLs as applocal. Does the license agreement for redistribution require that the entire contents of the Microsoft.VC80.CRT and Microsoft.VC80.MFC be redistributed if any of them are needed Or would it be possible to just redistribute mfvcr80.dll and mfc80.dll and their manifests appropriately modified, since that's all we need at this po ...Show All
