• Visual C# How to get instance ID of object

  In VB6 I can use ObjPtr to get object pointer.  In .Net how to get it The advice is to use a custom override for the GetHashCode() function in ur own classes to ensure that it is unique: MSDN Content : This method can be overridden by a derived class. Value classes must override this method to provide a hash function that is appropriate for the class and that ensures a better distribution in the hash table. Classes that might be used as a key in a hash table must also override this method, because objects that are used as keys in a hash table are required to generate their own hash code through this method. I guess there is no ou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Sun Systems JAVA 5.0

  I am a professor who uses the Savitch book to teach a CS1 course. We have a license to set up J# in our computer lab and would like to use this software with as little pain as possible. Among other things, Savitch uses the Scanner class which is new to JAVA 1.5 (or JAVA 5.0). You can find this class in the java.util package of the Sun software. The Scanner  class makes life a lot easier for beginning students. I was chagrined to find that the J# I just installed does not have the Scanner class in its java.util package. I would hope that J# 2005 does have this class, because it would take much of the pain away for schools that are using, ...Show All

• Windows Forms AxHost hosted ActiveX control and focus related events

  When hosting an ActiveX control on a Windows Form the Leave, Validating and Validated events are not raised for the control that previously had input focus when one moves input focus to the ActiveX control. The form behaves as one has clicked on a different application, only LostFocus is raised.   Is this by design, or are there any extra steps that need to be performed to make this work One idea I got was to add some event to the ActiveX control that is used to notify the AxHost control that the ActiveX control got focus which then can call Focus() on itself. But that would only work for inhouse ActiveX controls and it is a littl ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I create my own dialog-like component?

  We have created a user control to handle the Login function for our WinForm apps.  Because it's a control, everyone still has to create their own form to contain it, show the form, attach to its events, etc.  I would like to simplify this by encapsulating it (or re-creating it) as a standard dialog, so that it can be placed in everyone's  ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot Find Server

  Since I have an AMD 64-bit 3000+, I installed the pre-released Visual C# 2005 Beta 2. But this application is not working. Every time I click the application in Program File,  the only message  in the window 'Cannot Find Server - Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta'  is "The page cannot be displayed".  In the window, any attempt connecting to any Microsoft official address also fails (eventhough at that time I am logging in with my .NET passport). The application simply cannot connect me to its server or to any Microsoft site via internet. Before I installed it, I had to remov ...Show All

• Windows Forms Different OS

  Is it possible that a deployed app brings up errors when you have it installed on one OS but no errors when installed on a different one Yes, missing system files is the most likely reason.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How does an Array work?

  Not sure if this is what your after here, if not then delete it Q: How does an Array Work A:When I started programming the one thing that would trick me was Arrays. So, with this in mind, I have decided to write some tutorials to try and help other beginners. What follows is a one dimensional array, an array is simply a container for a list of items in the case of this example it is a list of animals. First start a New Project, then in solutions explorer click on the form then click view code, you should then see the following. Public Class Form1 End Class Change the Form1 to arrAnimal, see below Public Cl ...Show All

• Visual Basic Partial evaluation of logical expressions?

  Many languages include a short-circuit in logical expression evaluation where, once the result is known, the rest of the expression is not evaluated.  This is useful if you must check for a null value before using it.  For example,  if ( (a<>null) and ( (a+b)>5) ) then... Don't want to use a unless it is not null. Is there any way to turn this behaviour on in VB.NET Right now I'm using nested tests which leads to some ugly code... Thanks, DaveL ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Serialization Problem

  Hi to all, I have been using beta 2 bits for a couple of days and trying to upgrade my project with the new stuff. I've change a lot of things ( as you guys did in beta 2 :), but one problem still cannot be solved. I'm using the workflow designer control to change workflow definition. I have also a state machine workflow. If I load the workflow from file (xoml) no problem. But if I want to get a workflow definition from running workflow the serialize it and pass it to the workflow designer control I cannot edit the workflow. After debugging it seems that serializing state machine workflow it only serialize the root activity. Stefan, ...Show All
