• Visual Studio Express Editions Newly added user control can't be edited.

  Hi! Since yesterday I get an error if I add a new user control to any of my projects. Even completely new ones. When I add a user control only the *.cs and the *.Designer.cs files are getting created. But no *.resx file. The control is being displayed but when I'm resizing it, after accessing my HDD, I get the message "Die Datei ist vorhanden." which translates to "The file exists.". I already tried to repair and deinstall/reinstall Visual C# 2005 Express Edition but nothing changed. Is there a way to resolve this Thanks in advance, Patrick Patrick: Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Indirect Referencing in VB

  Hi All!   I am new to VB so please bear with me if the solution is obvious to you all as it is not to me! Basically, is there a way of perfoming an indirect reference to a variable, or building up a variable name as the program runs To explain what I mean, I'll go through an example of the kind of thing I am trying to achieve: I have painted two grids on a form which are both 9 by 9 and made up of text boxes. Users are able to enter numeric values into each of the positions in the grids. I have named each of the text boxes in the format txtGrid X Column Y Row Z , so for the top left position in the first grid, the text box has the ...Show All

• Visual C# Generic comparison to null broken in July CTP

  Everyone knows that one cannot ordinarily use ==/!= on generic types because these operators might be undefined. However, up to Whidbey June CTP it was possible to write (x == null) or (x != null) when x was a generic type. After all, the documentation explicitly states that null comparisons are possible (and will return false if typeof(x) is a value type). Now I've installed the July CTP, and suddenly compilation gives an error on such null comparisons! Um, how am I supposed to compare variables of unrestricted generic types to null now Is that a bug in the CTP Please don't tell me we're actually supposed to write Object.Equals(x, null)... ...Show All
