• Visual C# How to parse a variable in C# window form?

  Hi The user enters his name on the textbox on Form1 as soon as he press the button enter, Form1 closes and Form2 open. I want to get the string that was entered in textbox in Form1 to be displayed in Form2.

• Smart Device Development Native code

  I wonder what types of machine code can be generated by eMbedded Visual C++. My project involves testing the code on ARM7 and ARM9 processors for verification but also for demos. The code needs to run directly on the "iron", not over .NET. I prefer you send the response via email.: red_smurph at hotmail.com. Thanks in advance The tools that come with eVC support building native ARM applications that run on Windows CE. eVC may also include support for creating .NET applications, but I'm not sure. You could certainly use Visual Studio 2005 for that. I'm not sure what you mean by "iron," ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to suppress instrumentation of dependent projects?

  I have a solution with several projects: web application, web service, library dlls, etc.  In my case, I have one library dll that I do not want instrumented (I'm only referencing a small portion of the code).  However, it appears that if you choose, via the testrunconfig, to instrument one project output then all dependent libraries are also instrumented, even if they are not checked. I would like code coverage to be performed only for the selected projects.  Is there a way to block the dependent projects or is this a bug   I'm running the RTM Team Suite.

I am newbee to .NET,  programming in C#. very thankful for help! Jessica4710 wrote: Given a handle, you typically can call Control.FromHandle to retrieve the Control.
