• Visual Basic Is there a toolbar with bookmarks?

  I had to navigate through lengthy menus to toggle bookmarks so I thought I would add a toolbar for easy access. However, adding a toolbar proved to be an even lengthier process than toggling bookmarks! I checked a few likely suspects among the plethora of toolbars without success. Does anyone know which toolbar contains bookmarks Better yet, does anyone know of an easy way to figure out which specific menu item belongs to which specific toolbar Trying to find a menu item on a toolbar is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Am I missing something or is MS making me work to hard for something so simple ...Show All

• Visual C# Looking for the equivalent of C++ MyClass::MyMethod ?

  Hi, Here is my problem: I've 3 classes using this hierarchy: ClassA <= ClassB <= ClassC ClassB has a method T which is overriden by the ClassC . With a ClassC object : I need, from the ClassB , to call the method implemented in ClassB and not the one implemented in ClassC . Actually, if I wrote, from ClassB : this.T( )   then the implementation of ClassC is called because of the virtual / override mechanism. If I call base.T( ) it try to call T( ) from ClassA . So, how can I call the ClassB's T method In C++ we can write ClassB::T( ) ... so perhaps there is an equivalent in C# Thanks in advance, Nicolas M. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 5 and secchk.lib

  I'm trying to add a WM5 target to my PPC2003 solution (Visual Studio 2005). I installed the SDK, added a new build type (I derived it from my PPC2003 build type), and chose the correct emulator for the target device. The problem is that even if I have /GS- in the compiler settings (disable security checks), I am still getting LNK1104 for secchk.lib. As far as I can tell, secchk.lib doesn't even exist in the WM5 SDK. I can't find any explicit references to secchk.lib anywhere in the project. Does anyone know where I went wrong, or what the solution is As I said before, I'm not aware of a workaround f ...Show All
