• vitich Problems extending DataGridView

  I have created an extended version of DataGridView and all is well except when I try to set the default number of rows and columns. At first I implemented it in the New constructor but was getting twice the number of columns I wanted (but the right number of rows). I tried to set AutoGenerateColumns to false but that had no affect (it was a long shot anyway). Instead I moved the function to the OnHandleCreated sub which almost works. Now I get an error caused by the following designer generated code: Me .grdScheduleMatrix.Columns.AddRange( New System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumn() { Me .DataGridViewColumn10, Me .DataGridViewColumn11, Me .DataGridViewColumn12})  When I run it the following error is generated: "Warning&n ...Show All

• amer sohail Shared interface member

  Why can't interface methods be declared Shared in VB I have a controllerFactory interface that is used in a number of apps to dispense app sepcific controller classes for use in an app neutral framework. Currently I have to create an instance of the controller factory classes to invoke the GetController methods. Ideally I'd like to make this method shared and invoke it without creating an instance of the Factory. If I try to mark the implementation shared then Visual Studio shows the error "methods or events that implement interface members cannot be shared". If I mark the interface method as shared the error message is "'Shared' is not valid on an interface method declaration". Here's the interface definition: ...Show All

• soh99 Problem unloading AppDomain

  Hi, I'm writing a small app that will retrieve the assembly version number of all assemblies in a particular folder. To do this I'm loading each assembly into its own app domain, getting the info I need and then unloading the app domain. But this still leaves the assemblies locked - they are only unlocked when I exit the application.

Is there any way around this The code I use is below: <code> Private Sub ListProjects( ByVal root As String ) Dim baseDirectory As New DirectoryInfo(root) Dim assemblies As FileInfo() = baseDirectory.GetFiles( "*.dll&q ...Show All
