• Mnkylord static class/method not recognized within namespace

  From what I've read, C#'s static modifier should work just like Java. So, I created a utilities class which has a public static method to do some things. The utilities class is declared within the same namespace as my form class (just in a separate file), but if I attempt to access the method in the utilities class from the form class, the compiler complains that the name of the utility method or the class (if I attempt to use the FQN of the method) does not exist in the current context. If I attempt to add a "using MyNamespace.Utilities" statement at the top (which I fully expect to be redundant) the compiler also complains that the "Utilities" type or name does not exist in "MyNamespace". Any suggestions are most welcome! According to wr ...Show All

• efriese read from Cisco router

  is it possible to read the configuration stored in cisco router using C# How i dont think so, unless there are API's or something, unlikely however. only way would be via telnet (or its own web config page)   I guess if you are connecting to it via serial cable, use the SerialPorts class in .NET 2.0 to establish a connection, then read data from it using the DataRecieved Event or something. But in terms of reading the configuration, not really sure For this kind of devices you have normally two choices - either is is configurable by means of WEB interface - then use HttpWebRequest or it is configurable by TELNET then use TcpClient from System.Net namespace. Both is feasible, however ...Show All

• Rocky79 configuration error

  i configure my .net framework to run a program on a local intranet. but this program only run in a one of clients and in others this error raise : the key 'Connectionstring' is not defined in appsettings configuration. what is it for and how can i fix it From the limited information you've provided, it sounds like the application probably tries to connect to a database, and that Visual Studio created an App.config file for you containing the connection string information. This will be compiled into a file called YourApp.exe .config, where ' YourApp.exe ' is whatever you've called your application's executable. If one machine works fine and all the rest give you errors, that suggests that this config file is present on o ...Show All

• DonBaechtel Better class browser

  Does anyone know a better class browser I would like one that stays open (e.g. no drop-down menu) all the time, automatically refreshes its contents for the currently opened file and displays the class members sorted. Any ideas Thanks! I found ModelMaker Code Explorer for VS. It is much better than "Source Outliner" and the built-in class browing tools - cannot imagine working without it anymore. I often work with files containing 10K - 30K SLOC - and CE makes it extremely easy to navigate and modify such files. If you are interested: http://www.modelmakertools.com/code-explorer-vs/index.html We're in the late beta stage of a browser that sounds like it would ...Show All

• Takteek Find the right library at runtime

  Hello, Im writing a program that checks several company's websites for prices and compares them. Since every website is different, i have a different library with specific methods for each website. I want to be able to add libraries later on without having to change the source of my program.

However, the program can't find the libraries unless i add the right reference before compiling. Is it possible to add libraries and use them without having to add a reference and recompiling my program Thanks in advance, Stijn Thanks alot both of you for the quick respons ...Show All
