• Visual Basic Inherit from class with same namespace

  Is there any way to inherit from a class that exists in a referenced project and has the same namespace as the base class   For example, lets say I have a class with namespace MyApplication.Common in MyApplication.Base.dll.  Is there any way to create a class that inherits from MyApplication.Common and has the same namespace in a project that references MyApplication.Base.dll   I was hoping that partials might help me out, but they are limited to existing within the same project. Thanks for any help. Lance Its working well in C# 2.0. Im sorry I couldnt show VB.net code.. I dont have it but it ...Show All

• Visual C# get Fibonacci sequence number base on user input

  hi all, in my application, i want to return the n-th number in a Fibonacci sequence to the interface by asking user input. e.g. user inputs 5, and click on a button, it returns the 5th number in , which is 3. please help.

• Visual C++ How VS 2005 decides to build a project

• Visual Studio Team System Estimating Project Size/Cost

  I've read the MSF white papers on how to estimate project size. The MSF way is to estimate it bottom-up. I've come to a problem where I need to estimate the project size as early as possible. Do you guys have any experience with this kind of problem I'm not targeting for a 99% accuracy, just a range for low-high limits. Thanks! You can try to estimate project cost/schedule with any Cocomo II tool. Start from here to obtain more information: http://sunset.usc.edu/research/COCOMOII/ ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why do I get these C2065 and C2057 errors?

  This is a brand new MFC program I created thru VS and C++ version 6.  When I added a new dialog which only has a progress bar and named it IDD_COMPUTER_SPEED I get the following errors "error C2065: 'IDD_GET_COMPUTER_SPEED' : undeclared identifier" and "error C2057: expected constant expression" both pointing to the .h file that was created automatically.  I don't know why I'm getting these error because C++ added the IDD to the .h file and that's where the erreors occur.  HELP!!!!!

• Visual Studio Team System Irreversible decisions?

  What are the irreversible decisions (or effectively irreversible due to large amounts of work) in VSTS   If you choose MSF Agile and later decide that you either want MSF CMMI or want to make significant changes to the process template, can those changes be applied to an existing project Can you change fields in a work item type of an existing project   Say add some fields, remove some fields and add more choices to an enumerated list. I'll see what I can do for you about the blog, Chris Chris' idea could work. However although we do support basic copying of a work item ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Errors in winnt.h file using visual c++ 2005 express edition and mar. 15 sdk

  Hello. I get the following errors when I try to include winnt.h in my code. I tried using the newest sdk as well as the previous release, and both files seem to generate the same errors. This must be a common problem, but I haven't seen the answer. I'm including stdio.h, xlcall.h, windef.h and winnt.h in my code. Maybe I need to include another header.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Keyhook event handling at Word Document level

  Hi, We are on VSTO Customizations for Word 2003. We binded the XML Schema to the word document. At some of the nodes we need to capture the keys entered by the user and based on that we need to do some action. For that we have written KeyHook events. The following link is the source of our reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/10/CuttingEdge/ For that we added filters and allowing the keyhook event only being fired based on the matching filters (or keys for which we enable firing). The keyhook event is getting fired when user presses a key (which matches filter conditions set) at the document window. ...Show All
