• Windows Forms Beta 2 to Latest CTP?

  Quick question: If I have PCs running my application which was deployed via ClickOnce from C# Express Beta 2, is it easy for them to upgrade if I move to the latest CTP Or would they need to uninstall both my app and the Framework beta before they could upgrade Cheers, Matt Yep, that helps. Thanks, Sameer. Looks like my best option is to stick with beta 2 until the final release - I don't want my users to have to uninstall the beta 2 framework and install a new one just to move to the CTP (assuming the GoLive license even holds for the CTP, which I'm not sure it does).

• Visual Basic ByVal DOESN'T work!!! REALLY!!! NO KIDDING!!!!!!!

  OK Here is my problem, I have a Generic.List(OF something) and I pass it BYVAL as an argument to a function. Inside the function I create a new instance of the list and I AddRange the argument to this "inside" list. And guess what, all changes made in the internal list, pass to the list behind the argument. The same thing happens if I use the "=" operator instead of AddRange. Here is my code 1) Public Function ExpandOperator( ByVal CurrentInstance As CheckerBoard, ByVal EmptyPosition As Point, ByVal Orientation As Short ) As CheckerBoard Dim ReturnBoard As New CheckerBoard ...... ......

• Visual Studio Express Editions Command object

  In Visual Basic.Net 2003 there were oleDbCommand objects which I used to create a select statement. I then created an oleDbDataReader in code. The command object then executed the reader object which I used to fill my comboBox with items. I did this so that I could update the items in the combobox from another form and so the comboBox would put the string in my database field and not the ID. My question is: I don't see the command object and not sure how to do the same thing in VB2005 Express ummmm. . . you were setting the combobox.datasource to a datatable/ArrrayList and specifying the DisplayMember a ...Show All
