• .NET Development Calling Indexer using Reflection

  What is the best way to call indexer using reflection Currently I'm using Type.GetMethod("get_Item", ...) and then method.Invoke(obj, args); It works fine, except I have to special case for Array object, where I cast to array an call Array.GetValue(index) Is this the best way What if someone uses IndexerNameAttribute, will it change get_Item to different name Thanks. You can get a PropertyInfo for properties defined for a Type similar to how you're getting the MethodInfo: PropertyInfo prop = typeof (Example).GetProperty("SomePublicProperty");   If you want to retrieve non-public properties, ...Show All

• .NET Development Invoking NT Service Remotely through a Java program

  Dear All,    I have to develop an application, for providing interoperability between a Java application and Windows NT service.   I have a three tier architecture in mind to solve this problem.

• Visual C++ VS2005 C++ project: linkage errors under MultiThreaded-DLL runtime lib', but compiles fine under Multithreaded-DEBUG dll ?!?

  Hi, I am in the process of moving our development to VS2005 from VS2003. One of our C++ projects now runs properly in debug mode, and in release mode when using the multithreaded-debug-dll runtime libs, but does is fails during linkage when in release more and using the multithreaded-(release)-dll [which it is supposed to]. - The project combines managed and unmanaged code. - The error repeats itself both in the original managed C++ syntax, and now in the new C++/CLI syntax. - Other C++ projects I have moved to VS2005 do not have this issue. The linkage error is below in italic. Any ideas ! Thanks, 5spot MSVCMRT.lib(mstartup.obj) : error ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. WinCE 5.0/DirectX 9-based Dreamcast game?

  (I did a lot of research on the topic, but since i'm not a developer, i may be wrong about a lot of things.) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnce21/html/dxinwince.asp -- This article is very outdated, but a part of it got my attention. "The Dreamcast console does not actually ship with Windows CE built in. The operating system, DirectX, and the game itself are built as one image and stored on the GD-ROM. When the GD-ROM is placed in the Dreamcast console, the boot ROM loads the bootstrap code, which then loads the Windows CE operating system. This way, there are no versioning issues.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Let's go to work on an FAQ for this Forum

    The concerted work that goes on here in really impressive. I'm also thinking about a mass mailed note I received from S. Somesegar, corporate VP of Microsoft development. He said that MS Engineers were not alone in building VS2005. Customers had a lot  to do with it to make it as neat as it is. Continuing in that vein, I though it may be a contribution to see if we can't put together an FAQ that will take care of a large number of the routine questions. If you'd like to contribute to this let's try the following: In a post to this thread, add: 1.) A Title 2.) A fully stated question in FAQ form ...Show All
