• Visual Basic inheritance template missing in vb.net 2005 express

  I'm trying to experiment with form inheritance and created a base form with a couple of buttons.  I save and build this base form as a dll.  Then I try to add another form which inherits the base form, but the project menu has no items to allow me to add an inherited form.  I've also tried adding a reference to the project first, but it still doesn't work.  What is wrong Actually, rather than add a class I simply added a windows form and changed the boiler plate code "inherits" statement and everything worked.  I've been working with VB.NET 2003 and wasn't cognizant of the separate ...Show All

• .NET Development Datasets aren't finalized after leaving the scope

Because our application needs a tremendous amount of memory and constantly allocates more and more of it we are counting the instances of our objects in memory. Thus we able to determinate if an object is finalized by the garbage collection.
