• CODUDE84 Console.Write problem

  I want to punctuate every call to a certain procedure which is a part of a Class separate from the calling procedure Class with Console.Write ("."); statement. I need a simple dot positioned at a line. It is primarily a debug situation but still I want it to be compact. I want all the calls being marked on one line, not 200 lines or so. In the setup like this Console.Write ("."); refuses to do what I expected. It acts pretty much like Console.WriteLine ("."). In other words it feeds in end of the line charactes. Is there a way to avoid it Thanks. RizwanSharp wrote: I dont think that there is something like what you are saying. Console.WriteLine() puts a carrieage return at the then b ...Show All

• Blkbird Can't get custom build rules through automation

  Hi, I tried using automation for custom build rules. It looks like that only predefined rules (like MASM and lc) work fine. For newly created tools automation model doesn't work properly.

• T.Ramesh How do I limit ticks is a checkListBox to one at a time?

  Hi, I am trying to use a checkListBox to select one of three options. I only want any one option at a time. I have found the following 2 instructions, which, I would have thought, would have done what I want, but I can still check all three boxes. this .checkedListBox1.CheckOnClick = true ; this .checkedListBox1.SelectionMode = System.Windows.Forms. SelectionMode .One; Incidentally, I tried this .checkedListBox1.CheckOnClick = true ; this .checkedListBox1.SelectionMode = System.Windows.Forms. SelectionMode .None; and this did whatI expected, I could not check any of the boxes. So, any one know what I am doing wrong Many thanks for being there John. Hi boban, ...Show All

• Fille Cannot get program to display number with correct number of decimals

  I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and i am not able to get my percents to display the percent sign or display only 2 digits after the decimal without resorting to just putting the % in myself. i thought that putting {1:P} would format the display to have 2 decimals and have a % sign, but nothing happens (yes, i have rebuilt the solution). Here is a sample from my program: Console .WriteLine( "Adults\t\t\t{0}\t\t{1:P}%\t\t${2:C}" , adults, percentA, feesA); #1(not 0) needs to be formatted so its printed out as 25.89% and #2 needs to be formatted to display money like $25.00. I know that {2:C} should make it do this automatically, but nothing happens unless i put in the $ and% signs myself. thank you very much. ...Show All

• arro239 Typedefs for Generics, Anyone?

  It seems kinda awkward to have to write this: SortedDictionary<String,String> myThing = new SortedDictionary<String,String>(); It would be nice to do something like this: using myMap = SortedDictionary<String,String>; myMap myThing = new myMap(); ...but I can't get that to compile. Is there any relief for the weary In other words, how do I do this Right, you need to put the using directive before the enum. You can do this. Not sure what your compiler errors are, but this works for me: At the top of the file, with all the other using directives: using myMap = System.Collections.Generic. SortedDictionary < string , string >; In some method in the same ...Show All

• yonderstar BreakPoint now working

  Normally, I store my source code on a network server. I have an app that i can run from this location. However, when I set a breakpoint in this app, it does not hit this point. But If I copy the source to my locale drive and set the breakpoint, it hits the point. Can anyone help with this. Thanks, Brian This might have something to do with the network share not being a trusted site. Because of this, .Net might be running the app in a sort of sandbox, where debugging is not possible.

• JimmyS Why Modifier can't be set like C++

  I am using C++ Language and learning in C#. But I used to set Public modifier as class cls { -----param public : -----method and param } Why C# don't have this. I think all modifier should be able to set as this method like C++. And can set like Java too. Or Microsoft has some reason Why it can't is syntax. Why it was designed that way has already been pointed out: to clarify member modifiers and to increase quality (by avoiding accidental and un-obvious modifier changes because a declaration's class offset was changed resulting in a different modifier). SmallTalk and C++ Access Modifier was able to applied to more than one member by one cast. with "public :" or "priva ...Show All

• killerless MemberwiseClone of a MarshalByRefObject

  When I call MemberwiseClone on an object that is a MarshalByRefObject that is currently marshalled I do not get a a "true" copy of that object but instead I get an object with the exact same proxy so the "clone" will share its identity with the original object and remote calls on a proxy to the clone will actually be executed on the original object but not on a copy (the way I would want it). Is there a way to force the creation of a "true" clone in case the MarshalByRefObject is currently being marshalled I found a hint [1], that suggests an approach to use reflections to " to nullify the _identity field in MarshalByRefObject". How would I do that Also first I would have to find out if the object is currently being mars ...Show All
