• Visual C# Direct visual inheritance with richt click

  If I want to inherite a WinForm, I have to add a new item, select Inherited Form, give it a Name, and select the form tho inherite. is there a shorter way to do it I think, that if I right-click a WinForm in the solution explorer, it could be a menu option to direct inherte this form... There is no feature today but that is a good use for add-ins.  Add-ins aren't that difficult to write. I believe this is within the realm of possible with add-ins.  If not there is the VSIP as well which can definitely do it.  Maybe you could write it and then post it for everyone to share Michael Taylor - ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Forms closing despite OnClosing being overridden (usually on wake from sleep)

  I've got some forms that I want to keep loaded on the PPC, and as a result, I've cancelled the OnClosing event that is caused by the WM_CLOSE message as Windows CE attempts to free apps to free memory. This seems to work well when I switch apps etc. The WM_Close is sent to the app, and the WM_Close is cancelled. The problem I am having however is when I sleep the device and power it on at a later time, some of the forms I have loaded, unload. Is it possible that a more hostile message is sent to the app when resuming the device which causes some of these forms to unload (wm_destroy) Thanks again! Appreciate any help! Well t ...Show All

• .NET Development .net generic class or function parameters.

  I don't understand why is this not possible to pass an integer parameter to a generic class or function as for c++ templates. It seems to me that it's far easier than allowing type parameter resolved at runtime. Could someone please explain me if there is some practical reason for this and if there's a workarround for doing the same as templates but at runtime with integer parameters. thanks, Aurelien. The CLR's generics implementation was designed to model generic programming concepts.  C++'s templates enables some generic programming, plus meta-programming in some interesting ways by leveraging the f ...Show All
