• Visual Studio Express Editions Arraylist and recursion problems

  Ok I am new to this c# stuff. I have used c++ for a while and have to say that this new c# thing is pretty nice. Ok here is my problem. C# doesn't have vectors so I am using an arrylist instead. I don't know if you can set a type or not but I haven't. I store a list of files that I am recursively compiling as it runs through each directory. I was stupid and created a new instance of the array list each time I recursed. So I figured I nee ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convert between Func<T> and Expression<T>

  Hi, this DataGridView is really giving me headaches like you can see in all the topics I start :) This time it's about performance. I'm using a DataBound DataGridView and performance for painting on it, etc. is good as long as it contains no data :) However, as soon as I load 10 columns in it with about 200 rows, performance really drops. Resizing the form that contains the grid becomes real slow even with column auto size off. Painting selectio ...Show All
