• Visual C# XML documentation on generics

  Hi, I've been searching the MSDN docs, Googling around and trying to search these forums, but yet have to find an answer to my question. How do you reference a generic class using XML documentation Obviously, <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.List<T>"/> doesn't work. I tried <see cref="System.Collections.Generic.List`1"/> - as that is how MSIL treats it, but that didn't work either. What is the correct syntax for doing this Thanks in advance! Frederik Carlier Thanks for the link! Who would've thunk, the curly braces notation is actually a standard C# feature. Here's the relevant paragra ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro EDSETENV

  I want to set up runtime environment as far as the way memo fields are displayed in the editor. I tried to use the code I found in Help: SET LIBRARY TO EDSETENV = EDSETENV("x") First, there is no library file by this name, at least I could not find it. Second, the whole thing is not recognizable by the compiler. How do I define string "x " Do I have to write a C++ module to do it But my first concern is to make the first statement work. It does not. Thanks.   I want to set up runtime environment as far as the way memo fields are displayed in the editor. I tried to use the code I found in Help: ...Show All

• Visual C++ use of __value as a variable name in unmanaged c++ code

  Hi, I think I get a compiler error when defining a variable named __value, even in unmanaged code. For example: I create a new win32 console application project, and add a single file containing something like: void main () {     int __value; } I get the errors: error C4980: '__value' : use of this keyword requires /clr:oldSyntax command line option error C2059: syntax error : '__value' My guess is that this is related to the change of keyword from __value to value between the 2003 and 2005 versions. But this really doesn't concern me, as I am not using managed code and I don't want either to be considered a reserved wor ...Show All

• Visual C++ Timing the compiler

  The Visual C++ 2003 linker has an undocumented /TIME option which reports how much time the linker has spent on each phase. Is there a corresponding option for the compiler   It would be helpful to know exactly how long each file took to compile.  I have a 146-file project taking nearly 30 minutes to build; it would be quite helpful to find out where the delays are. You can add the (also undocumented) /Bt option to the command-line: this will give you some idea of how long the front-end (c1xx.dll or c1.dll) and the back-end (c2.dll) take to compile each file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems generating unit tests when using a typed data set with a partial class

  Hi, I'm new to unit testing and had a problem with the following (VB.Net). I have a typed data set in my application and I have extend the functionality of this data set using a partial class (rather than inheriting it). So, I've got a dataset called lets say "SomeDataSet". It has one table and one field. I then extend it by creating a new class like: Partial Public Class SomeDataSet End Class (Even a blank partial class will cause a problem.) Then in one of my classes I have a module level variable like the following Public Class SomeObject    Private mDataRow As SomeDataSet.SomeTableRow End Class ( ...Show All
