• Bill Reiss automagically adding "" {} () [] etc...

  I was at an MSDN event yesterday and the presenter enabled a setting in VS2005 that would automatically add a pair of quotes "" whenever the context was expecting it. I have looked in my options of VS2005 standard and I can't find an options which does this. I have found options which purports to automagically add braces {} when a new line is typed I.E. class MyClass { <these added when new line (enter key) typed. } However my system doesn't do this. Is there a master setting somewhere that enables these enhancements Thanks Edwin EdwinSmith wrote: I was at an MSDN event yesterday Ironically I learned about an intellisense feature at a MS event too.

• Ska Software Approach for creating class method

  I am in the middle of a big dilemma. In my app, we have tons of methods for selecting information based on different filters, an in many cases bringing different fields/attributes as well. I thought of naming the methods based on the filter names (e.g. SelectEmployeeOnName (name) would bring all employees that have that name), other option would be to overload a lot of methods, but then this might not work in the cases where I had n methods with the same filter structure, differing only in the returned structure (the object). Any idea on this boban.s wrote: But i will change that name a litle and by that code rules document every method that return someting will begin with Get and then with what type is returning an ...Show All

• Ryan F I keep getting a hiding error. I'm confused.

  Warning 2 'WindowsApplication3.generalEnemy.onEnterFrame()' hides inherited member 'WindowsApplication3.SceneObjects.onEnterFrame()'. Use the new keyword if hiding was intended. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication3\WindowsApplication3\generalEnemy.cs 24 21 WindowsApplication3 is a warning I'm getting. Basically I have an abstract superclass SceneObjects, and an abstract subclass Characters, which has an abstract subclass generalEnemy. There is a method called onEnterFrame which is defined as public void in all of those classes. I can't define it as abstract in these classes because some of the subclasses are abstract, and therefore I DON'T want them to implement it. I ...Show All

• Brandon Hawkins IDE changes the .csproj file <SubType> between UserControl and Component

  When any file in my project is changed, I have one UserControl that the IDE changes the .csproj file <SubType> between UserControl and Component. This happens even if the UserControl is not changed. Is there any way to stop the IDE from changing this "Bump" - we have the problem here too, and it is annoying, and SP1 did not help us either. OK, so here it is: we seemed to get past that by just installing the SP1 :-) Hello all, I think another user has hit on the "answer" to this issue here: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/showpost.php p=3645831&postcount=5 The IDE seems to get confuse ...Show All

• BrentHecht Error Root?

  Hello, I have a C# class library with some functions in it.

• krick Download file and save as Image?

  I have a WebClient that downloads a file (.card) from xbox.com. However, in order to display it as an image, how can I download it and display it in a picture box. If this is not possible, are there any other ways of doing this Thanks, I am not sure what the .card file contains. If it is just a simple text file you can manage to convert it to an image by using Graphics and Graphics.DrawString() then Graphics.Save(). On the other hand if the .card file is not a simple text format, you should have .card reader to display it on the screen so you automatically capture this portion of the screen and save it as image, however this is not a straight forward task and involves lot's of coding ...Show All

• Mallyx Visual Studio 2005 Tab font colors match backgrounds

  Visual studio 2005 is shown on the left and 2003 is on the right: LINK to Image As you can see with my setup the text is now invisible in 2005. How can I change this There does not appear to be any setting in the options menu under tools in VS 2005 to change this font setting. Based on the image you provided, it looks like you've got a third-party theme for Windows installed. Could you try turning off/uninstalling the theme and seeing if that helps If it is a theme causing this issue, it's unlikely we'll be able to do anything about this. -Tom Meschter Software Dev, Visual C# IDE Yes it is indeed specific to the "Panther" theme I am running; but so far this is the only application ...Show All

• AlexHardenburg simple decimal format

  Hi, decimal.Parse(dr["Value"].ToString()).ToString("N") The line above gives the following error: Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'string' and 'decimal' where dr is a hashtable and dr["Value"] contains 242.4478 any idead how i can do FormatNumber in C# thanks Hi, when you do: decimal.Parse(dr["Value"].ToString()).ToString("N") it returns a string so I assume your error has something to do with trying to assign that string to a decimal: decimal d = decimal.Parse(dr["Value"].ToString()).ToString("N"); This would result in the error you mentioned.

• Piotyr overloading == operator in c# fails checking for null values

  Hi, I have developed one class called CProductInfo providing == and != operator features. I have one problem.

• Joe Simmonds Trying to stop a service - but getting exception.

  Hi everybody, I'm trying to stop a service using the ServiceController object in System.ServiceProcess. I call the stop() method (after ensuring the service is actually RUNNING), but I get an exception returned. The inner exception is a Win32Exception - error code 109 - something about a broken pipe (or the pipe being ended). Can somebody push me in the right direction as to why this is happening NOTE: When I attempt to stop the process manually from the Windows service control panel - the progress bar will move, but never return. If I click "cancel", the progress bar closes and the service says it is stopped (and it is in actuality closed). Thanks in advance, Adrian Configuring/modifying a s ...Show All

  Hi! In the visual settings editor (where you have a list and can enter different settings like strings, integers, bools etc...) how can I create a setting which is an ArrayList. It doesnt work when I choose ArayList. An ArrayList is not serializable so you'll have a hard time doing it. Try using a strongly typed collection of serializable objects instead.
