• Visual Studio How to create my own Refactor?

  Such as Rename... I want to create a refactor with a similer function, How to do You will need to parse the source code within a project, generate a symbol table containing the symbols for the code, search through the symbol table for references to the item you want to rename (you cannot just do a general search, because the variable 'i' can be used in multiple places but not be the same 'i'), and then rename them.

• Smart Device Development C++ and C#

  Hi, I outsourced a C#-code to C++ for performance reasons. I put the code int a new C++ class libary source code, did some changes to meet the C++-rules and compiled it. I looked for CLR support in the compiler options, but I can't find them. Also adding /clr manually didn't solve the problem. Subsequently I can't import the DLL into my C#-application. Note, that the application is a Smart Device Application. /cls works fine on Desktop applications. But what can I do to Import the DLL written in C++ By now I used the DllImport Attribute, but then i get an Exception "Entry point not found". Thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Gracefully exit a blocking call in a thread (NETCF1.1)?

  I am looking for a way to gracefully exit blocking calls such as UdpClient.Receive() if they never receive any data so that I can terminate the thread that they are running on. I am using the .NETCF & C#. Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Solution: Derive a UDPClient class. Create a function that returns the raw socket. Use the Socket.Select to see if there's data there to read, then you don't have to force a block via Receive(). Hope this helps. ...Show All

• .NET Development to use the NetworkStream::Write() for synchronous sending!?

  Hi ^, i would like to realise a synchronous communication using the NetworkStream::Write() method. In theoretically ("...The Write method blocks until the requested number of bytes is sent or a SocketException is thrown. ...") it is possible to use this function for synchron sending but in fact the Write() method doesn't send the data directly to the remote machine it puts the data into the outgoing network buffer of the PC so doesn't wait for the remote machine's answer. If the outgoing network buffer is full just in this case will be blocked the Write() function. I don't know how can i avoid this buffer or how can i set th ...Show All
