• Smart Device Development 2.0 Custom controls and API

  Hello, i made a control library with some test controls. They work fine on my other project till i try to declare a function from "coredll" in one of my controls classes. By placing any control on the form in designer, it morphs into a simple rectangle with full namespace name in the middle. I tried also to import those function from user32.dll but it doesnt affect the strange behaviour. Everything goes fine by removing the declare or import st ...Show All

• Visual C# How to constrain generic type to a superclass instead a subclass of another type?

  In Java 5 you can use the following syntax for variance in generic types: public class A {...} public class AA extends A {...} public class MyContainer<E> { void setComparer(Comparator< super E> c) {...} ... } This means that you can pass instances of either Comparer<A> or Comparer<AA> to MyContainer<AA>.setComparer. Is there a way to specify this type of constraint in .NET The where clause can be ...Show All

I can pull most the records (about 1500 out of 1700) on straight forward comparison of (a.firstname = b.firstname) and (a.lastname=b.lastname) as for the rest, is there a way to check if one name is similiar to another (in case of a typo, or mis-spelling of the name) Thanks, Mike Not ...Show All

• SQL Server Parent Child Dimension Attribute Hierarchy

  I hope I described that right! I have a dimension attribute that describes a self referential hiearchy in the dimension.  I have this setup and working with one exception.  When I use this hierarchy I only want members which have children to be displayed at each level instead of all members regardless of whether they have children.  How do I do this Thanks, Chris I have a similar requirement. I have a DIM_Customer with a Ref ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to catch the row change event in a datagrid?

  Hi everybody, How to catch the row change event in a datagrid I'm using VB.NET. I have a datagrid filled from a table. I want to raise the row change event when the user selects a row. I found the code for it in C#, but I want an example in VB.NET. You are right, it doesnt have the Row Change Event implicitly. You will most probably have to use either the CurrentCellChanged event or the Click event. There ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Version Control Tasks

  Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Tasks.VersionControl.dll contains a get MSBuild task but no tasks for CheckIn or CheckOut. Are we relegated to calling the command line versions Pretty lame if so... You are correct that there is no custom task for checking in or checking out files. Out of curiosity - why would you want to do this during the build process -Aaron ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SupressMessage is not in the correct language

  Why is that when I select to copy errors as SuppressMessage attributes, the result is always in C#, not VB.NET, despite what the project language might be I would expect it to be based on a project language, or a default option, or the language to be a sub menu. Bill, I'm making the assumption you're talking about the Copy As -> SuppressMessage option in the FxCop standalone tool and not the similar functionality that is available i ...Show All

• Visual C# C++/Win32 for the C# Programmer

  Hello, My name is Vincent and I did not know what a semaphore was (until recently). Recently I've noticed (and it's been pointed out to me) that my lack of C++ and the resulting lack of intimate knowledge of Win32 is not helping me as I continue to dive deeper into C# (and as the language matures).  Generics for instance have their roots in C++.  Concurrent programming in .Net is all about the OS.  I know and have studied the CLR ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relatio ...Show All
