• Joseph Ollero question about "using namespace"?

  I create 2 projects (P1, P2) and the 2 projects have 2 namespace (N1, N2; N1 belongs to P1, N2 belongs to P2). I could use "using X=N1", but i can not use "using X=N2" at project P1, P1 can not find the namespace N2. I know it can, but if I should change some settings thanks! BTW, if i put both of the 2 namespace (N1, N2) at P1, then whatever i could use "using X=N1" and "using X=N2". not really sure I follow *confused* - will re read but perhaps the project you are trying to access from the other project has not been added as a reference in the project, so add a reference to the project/namespace you are trying to access - you should then be able to access it. example I have 2 projec ...Show All

• LastBoyScout Writting to a file

  I was wondering if it is possible using streamwriter to make some of the text you write to a file bold I have been trying to figure this out, and have no luck in searching various websites if it is possible. What I am trying to do is, write to an .rtf file and have for example: "Name:" in bold and then the person's name normal style afterwards. If you can't using streamwriter and there is a way, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I tried just using \b and \b0 and this is what I ended up getting: Name: Do I have to add the whole {\rtf1\ansi....} line or should \b and \b0 work without it. If I do, how should I go about it Adding the \rtf1 line to a serperate string perhaps Than ...Show All

• JGttttt class view in VS2005

  In VS2003 class view showed all class members and variables in the same tree. In VS2005 I may see only "Base types" and should right mouse and select "Browse definition" and they will be shown in Object Browser. Is this expected behaviour or I am missing certain settings Click on any class and you should see all of the members in a separate, adjacent window. Only types that the class derives from will be shown in the treeview. The default presentation I get is the treeview and search bar on the left half, and then the members list and descriptions on the right half, one above the other. Unfortunately, I can't include a screenshot of what I'm on about. I only hope you see something similar in your VS2005. In ...Show All

• godzilla9 Visual Studio 2005 - PILE OF ***!

  Hi, Although .NET 2.0 has brought ,any great additions to the .NET family, the IDE for me is the worst part of the experience. 1. The IDE is terribly slow... much slower than it should be. 2. The IDE seems full of bugs. These two problems do not make a good productivity combination. I do not believe Visual Studio 2005 is suitable for enterprise development, where you typically work on large scale solutions consisting of hundreds of projects. The IDE simply chokes on large solutions. Intellisense comes to a grinding halt and solution level configuration changes, such as setting debug/release mode take minutes (2minutes or more per click). The number of crashes of the IDE per day is also pretty high. We have started recordi ...Show All

• talraviv How to assign an explanation to a function in c#

  Hello, I have functions in my library, but their explanation isn't enough to understand by only looking at their signatures.

• BinCoder Help required for passing data between various aspx pages

  Hi, I am a newbie to asp.net web applications. My web application consists of Default.aspx page which is made up of frames, where each of the frames's source is an aspx page. Is it correct to have like this. I have made the source of each frame as an aspx page because I want to display the items in each frame using Repeater control. The application's start page takes the query string, calculates the result and sets the value to a variable named Result. The start page is not Default.aspx page. Now I want to use this Result object in the source aspx pages of each frame. I want to load each of the frames with some values, depending on the Result value. So, how do I share this variable Result Any help will be appreciated ...Show All

• IanBlackburn Passing an inherited class as 'T' to a generic container.

  I'm having trouble finding out how to use a general purpose generic container I wrote as a member of another class which wants to hold any class type based on a common base class. The first set of code below shows 4 seperate classes, RNode is a generic class, TreeControl has an RNode<TreeItemBase> member, and a "Root" property to access it, TreeItemBase is a control (not really important to this), and TreeItemHeader is derived from TreeIItemBase... Public class RNode<T> {} public partial class TreeControl : ScrollableControl { private RNode<TreeItemBase> root = null; public RNode<TreeItemBase> Root { get { return root; } set { root = value; } } } publ ...Show All

• Doug 123 What is the maximum literal address for a local file?

  I thort it was 255 but when tried I found it only == 248 CHAR full LITERAL filename & path string length!!! How do I determine what the user can enter before submitting it to the OS as the intended filename The limitation depends on the OS, the character set used and the format of the file name. The defined maximum is normally considered to be approximately 260 (MAX_PATH in Win32) but it could be less. The Unicode version using a full object name is supposedly 32K total with each part limited to approximately 255 but you won't be able to use that format in .NET. Irrelevant you shouldn't hard code the value as it could change over time. There is no property or method in .NET to determine the maximal value because it var ...Show All

  Hi     In my C# application,  I have created an App.config file in C# source file path and this is no way related to the assembly or exe  location. when I try using System.Configuration's method and properties I always have found it returns the assembly/exe path but I need to get the source path.  Note : Main idea behind this is, I have created some xml elements in App.Config file and I will load this xml using ConfigXmlDocument instance.
