• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. Here's my background ( being totally honest ). I am self taught, I learned C++ back in the late 90's. From there, I moved to C# because ASP.NET is the best platform availabl ...Show All

• Visual C# How to change VC#.NET default lower bound for array subscripts

  Hello. I am upgrading a legacy system written in FORTRAN and Visual Basic 6.0 with Option Base 1 (array lower bound is 1). Unfortunately the VB.NET no longer supports this option anymore (I wonder why Microsoft took out this good option). Is there a quick way to take care this issue in VC#.NET It is lots of work to change all arrays in a legacy system from base 1 to base 0. Any good idea Thanks. Ping Ping, I don't think Option Base 1 or anything like that are available in C#. The closest thing I can think of is to create an indexer. My recommendation would be to go and change the code to make it proper C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Please advice an event when user closes a document

  During implementation of the VSIP package for VS2005 I faced with the following problem. When user closes a document window I would like to know a file name of the project which closed document belong to. I used IVsRunningDocTableEvents.OnAfterDocumentWindowHide as event when user closed a document. Every time that event comes, the first parameter 'docCookie' always have value 0 and I cannot get any information about about a closed document. Please advice. Possible, I need to use another event in VSIP hierarchy to solve the problem. I think that should be something like "BeforeDocumentWindowHide". ...Show All

• Visual Studio General Questions

  Dear Microsoft DSL Tools Team and Forum Members, I am a student at the University of Leipzig currently taking part in a seminar about Generative Software Development. I've chosen to work on Microsoft's solution to this problem, namely the DSL Tools for Visual Studio. My task is to describe the basic notions incorporated in the modelling toolset and to explore the differences and similarities to other modeling tools and platforms. A second problem to solve is the modeling of a non-trivial example DSL. I'm facing some problems I was unable to resolve using the documentation available on the internet today. The task of modeling a non-triv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Splitting multibyte variables

  I have a variable CRC As UShort 16 bits unsigned and CRChi/ CRClo As Byte. In Delphi and most assemblers I can split CRC into 2 bytes by (or similar) CRChi=High(CRC) 'Get the top 8 bits CRClo=Low(CRC) ''Get the bottom 8 bits How do I do this in VB2005 As you may gather I want to get the CRC value for strings or characters send out and then append the CRC (it may be High/Low or Low/High). If there is a way of dividing even larger integers such as 3  or 4 bytes (for 24 and 32 bits CRC) then it would even be better. I have seen something about converting integers into byte arrays but I'm not clear on how to go about it. Thank ...Show All

• Visual Basic StringTokenizer in VB.NET and highlighting

  Is there anything like a StringTokenizer in VB.NET e.g. If I've got a String "artificial intelligence", how to divide it into two strings Another question is about highlighting particular words. e.g If I have a short text "He is a professor" in a Label. What I need to is to highlight the word "professor" by displaying it using different colour. Regular expressions rock, Renee. I can't imagine life without them, they simply cause some very complex problems to become trivial. C and C++ both have no built in support for regex, in fact it's Perl that is best known a ...Show All
