• Visual C# How do I add a member to a class?

  I'm just starting to learn C# in VS 2005, and I'm using a book written for 2003 (which is always good for a few problems). I'm trying to add a member to a class. The book isn't even close, so I'm ignoring that, but the docs that come with Visual Studio aren't helping at all. They give me 3 ways to add a member, but don't explain how to get to any of them. I've only found one - a button on the toolbar for the class details window, from which I'm ...Show All

• Visual Basic Where did the auto-generated code go?

  This is probably a rather silly question, but I cannot find an option to display the auto-generated Windows Form code that was available in VS .NET and VS .NET 2003.  Is there an option that I am missing to turn this on   It's a Windows Form application.   Paul Domag wrote: I think both C# and VB are using the 2 file approach being used in C++.

  I have a webservice receiving encoded strings of a size usually between 1k and 20MB which will be sent by a special application.

Im using Framework 1.1, no additional stuff (like WSE) installed. Only known users are allowed to access the webservice. The server is configured to handle these bigger requests by ...Show All

• SQL Server sproc call udf to generate alternating background color tags

  I am using a sproc to select rows from a table and it calls a udf() to get alternating background colors as a "<tr>" string. I use the surrogate key and extract the last byte and based upon even/odd of the last digit return (from the udf) a <tr> tag with different background colors. This works just fine UNTIL my sproc does a selective pull and the rows from the audit table are not sequential - that is I get instead of even/odd/even/o ...Show All
