• Visual Basic IDRISI API SERVER

  I have tried your code, but that it is not the problem I am having- I supect it isn't working because the API I am accessing is an exe file not a dll and is designed for VBA not for the new VB.net framework. The structure and way of dealing with API is different, therefore it doesn't work. Thanks anyway Leo I have tried your code, but that it is not the problem I am having- I supect it isn't working because t ...Show All

  Hi, I replaced my Direct3DX reference (1.0.2906.0) with the latest version included in the October SDK (1.0.2908.0). However, when I now compile, my code fails with "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Draw2D' can be called with these arguments:" Sprite.Draw2D(Texture, Rectangle, Rectange, Point, Color) The "dxreadme.htm" states that the D3DX dll is unchanged from the August version.

• .NET Development Why on earth are there not logical operators for bytes in C#?!?

  Hi there, I have most of my program written in C#, now I need to do some logical operations (AND, OR, NOT/COMPLEMENT) with some byte variables. Why on earth does C# not have logical operators defined for bytes ! ! Visual Basic.NET does. Is there some way I can add them because my code is really simple with them, otherwise it gets unnecessarily complicated. Thanks, Chris Hi, You can avoid one ...Show All

• Visual C# Generic comparison to null broken in July CTP

  Everyone knows that one cannot ordinarily use ==/!= on generic types because these operators might be undefined. However, up to Whidbey June CTP it was possible to write (x == null) or (x != null) when x was a generic type. After all, the documentation explicitly states that null comparisons are possible (and will return false if typeof(x) is a value type). Now I've installed the July CTP, and suddenly compilation gives an error on such null com ...Show All

• Visual C# Dictionaries and the objects they contain!

  I was just wondering, is there some way to synchronize the modification of objects that are in dictionaries (or any other IEnumerable interface for that matter), if they are modified without referring to the dictionary I find that this code snippet doesnt work (I might be too naive): foobar bar = new foobar(); bar.setText("hollathere"); Dictionary <string, foobar> someDict = new Dictionary<string, foobar>(); someDict.Add("handl ...Show All

• .NET Development ObjectManager.DoFixups() - exception

  I'm receiving the exception "Object with ID # was referenced in a fixup but does not exist" from ObjectManager.DoFixups() (actually the function that throws the exception is ObjectManager.GetCompletionInfo()). This is occuring in Beta 2 and did not occur in Beta 1. I can see that the object has been registered with the object manager. The object that I'm registering is a place holder type that has a surrogate and is not of the type expecte ...Show All

• Windows Forms In VS2005, The Component Container does not have a reference to the Form

  I am trying to create a custom control that inherits from BindingSource. I need a reference to the containing form of this new control. From the BindingSource, I can use the .Container property to get the ComponentContainer, but there is no property or method to get a reference to the form from there. Does anyone know how to get a reference to the form using Windows API Thanks, Hi, Could you please be more clear in your problem d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sourcecode corruption

  I'm having some strange problems using Source Control. Previously I added a borland project just to test how the Source Control worked, and then deleted the files when I had played around with checkout, checking, testing with work items etc. I've now created a small project in VS 2003, and added the project to TF Source Control. When opening the solution from source, the content of the solution file has completely different content from what I c ...Show All
