• Kamii47 Why can't an interface method be internal?

  When I try to make a method in an interface internal I get a compile error.  Why is this   Thanks in advance, Per Rasmussen. Charles: I see what you mean but then there isn't really much good in using an interface. Peter: One of the main points in an interface is that you can make a class implement several. Since C# doesn't have multiple inheritens I can't do the same with classes. About making the entire class internal. I have thought about this but my problem is that I would like some of the functions to be public and some to be internal (and some to be private and protected) and some of the functions I want internal should implement an interface. I can see what you mean conc ...Show All

• Muhsin Zahid Uğur Get window handle

  Hi All, Is there any possibility of getting the handles of all windows which are present in the taskbar. I need to track down which window is being closed and display a message stating the file name of the closed window. Ahh you must be using .NET 1.1. That example uses Generics which was introduced with v2.0. It enables you to strongly type a List. Easily solved for 1.1 by using an ArrayList instead. Process [] processes = Process .GetProcesses(); ArrayList windowHandles = new ArrayList (); foreach ( Process process in processes) { if (process.MainWindowTitle != string .Empty) { windowHandles.Add(process.Handle); } } Doing it this way you must cast the items in ...Show All

• QWERTYtech [var++] or [++var] for [for] loop

  I just recently noticed that for [for] loop in every single code I wrote and from code snippet in VC#, both use the same following code pattern (notice the increment pattern): for ( int i = 0; i < length; i++ ) { } AFAIK, the increment condition I should be the next value which is [i = i + 1]. And I think [i = i + 1] is better translated as [++i] rather than [i++], though both of them behave indifferently in the looping process. What do you think about this, guys I think the same. But on the same topic, what's the difference from the efficiency point of view between for (i=0; i<max; i++) makeSomething(); and for (i=0; i++<max;) makeSomething(); or even (if correct) for (i=0; i++<max; ...Show All

• Michele_T application settings for class library

  I'm running up against a deadline and I'm having some troubles with config files for a class library. While doing some work on a DLL I decided to convert our home-grown config file reader to use the new application settings abilities of VS2005. After doing the conversion and installing the assembly on a test server I noticed the the config file is being compiled into the DLL. Is there a way to tell the compiler not to do this If I have to recompile the whole app when one of these settings changes, I may as well hard-code them. Only admin will be changing things in the config files. Any help will be greatly appreciated!! I know this is a long shot, but I've got to ask anyway. Is t ...Show All

• Lord Zoltan SP2 causing error?

  I have a project that is having issues with SP2. It is a browser that was created to incorporate encryption and decryption protocols. I have done some minor fixes to the code since it was originally made, on my machine with SP2; now, the browser has exceptions on machines still running SP1 with the Explorer 6 browser object.

• Rathin Padia Help required to solve circular dependency problem in vb2005

  I am working on an application design that requires two projects to cross reference each other. I found the excellent Formfactory / Interface example/solution (listed below) on this forum. Unfortunately I am not C# literate. I understand and appreciate the method, but my attempt to convert it into vb2005.net has been defeated by the C# syntax. I would greatly appreciate someone (multilingual) providing a translation into vb2005.net Here is the C# solution: The pattern to solve this is abstract class factory , together with the singleton pattern. What you have to do is the make a classfactory for the forms . This classfactory you can place in your main program, which anyway MUST reference your assemblies, thus it w ...Show All
