• Windows Forms Using Settings to store complex types

• .NET Development Any tips for a transition from Access and DAO?

  We right now have a reasonably large commercial application that's written in C++ and we're currently working in Visual Studio .NET 2003, which actually offered us a smooth transition from Visual Studio 6. The application is working against an Access database with DAO, so we get warnings about DAO functions being deprecated when compiling our solution. Looking ahead, we may start using Visual Studio .NET 2005. This raises my first question: Will ...Show All

• Visual C# CodeDomProvider.CreateCompiler - need a replacement.

  I am posting it second time today. For some strange reason the first post disappered after an hour or so. It is about the method: CodeDomProvider.CreateCompiler(). The method appears to be obsolete but it is used in a code sample I have copied from MSDN. There should be a replacement for this method. I would like to know what it is. Thanks. Yeah, thanks again! I think a lot of the confusion is because the error message generated by trying t ...Show All

• Visual C# How to run C Application in .NET environment?

  How to run C Application in .NET environment Please help me out.. A C application will run natively on the OS. Unfortunately there is no Managed C compiler.
