• .NET Development Some thoughts about default parameter for C#

  I've been troubled by this problem since I started to use C#. I always try to write classes that are easy to use. When I try to write some methods that takes several parameters, I found it was really troublesome to write different overloads. I had to give up some overloads, because there are just too many combinations, when the parameter list is long. And I thought, why not default parameters Anders Hejlsberg explained in an interfiew that they didn't include default parameter because they think it was not necessary. They think it's just feature that make programmer a bit easier, but not some feature that make the language more powerful. Wel ...Show All

• Windows Forms A simple combobox question

  In VB6 I used a combobox to allow users to choose the units (mm, inch etc) of the data they entered. The combobox only showed the units names at run time, and would use the constants (1, 25.4 etc) in the second column in any calculations. I'm now trying to rewrite the prog in VB.NET and cant find out how to add more than one coloum of data to a combobox. Does anyone know how to do this. below is the code i used in VB6 and VB.NET.

• Visual Studio Team System Require a Changeset comment on CheckIn

  I've poked around a bit, and cannot see where I would require that a Changeset Comment be required on Check In. I see that I am able to require Comments from the four roles (Code Reviewer, Security Reviewer, Performance Reviewer, and Developer).

• Visual Studio Team System "Check In - Work Items" window number hours spent

  I think the "Check In - Work Items" window should have a column for number of hours spent on the files being checked in. Otherwise the flow is disrupted by the developer having to go into team explorer, find the work item and change the appropriate field. Why is it that when you double-click on a work item in the "Check In - Work Item" window that all the editable fields are greyed out From the Pending Changes window (View > Other Windows > Pending Changes), double-clicking (or right-click Open) on a work item in the Work Items channel opens the work item in an editable VS document. When the Work Item channel is hosted in&n ...Show All
