• RivieraKid Detect Close via X button in Console App

  Good day, We have a VS2005 C# Console Application and are trying to detect the user closing by hitting the X button in the top right corner of the app. As you can see by the following code, we have tried hooking up a variety of event handlers, but in all cases the event handler never gets called.

• fode want to use .h header files in c#

  Hi, I want to call the header files in my c# program. Where i am using the acrobat sdk which has references to the header file. i tried prebuildevent where i did not have proper examples. if anyone can through light on these it will be appreciated. thanks -rajashekar s I have used that sdk from Visual Foxpro with great success. I think the best way to use it in C#, however, it to define constants in a class rather than using them from a header file like the sdk gives you. You should be able to just copy them. Alternatively, you can create enums for each item that would make your code more readable. HTH A C/C++ SDK for static linking is no ...Show All

• jewelfire Learning C#

  Hi, I would like to ask anyone here for their advice on where I should start with C#. I have been programming for nearly a year now and dont know any other languages other than the VB family, such as vba, vb6 and vb.net. Since i have been programming with .net I have learned alot from the msdn library that comes with the installation of Visual Studio, and whenever looking at the example of code I still am always drawn to read the C# code. Something is just making me want to learn this language, However a good friend of mine is trying to alter my path by suggesting I learn C++. Learning C++ I would like to do, and also think I would benefit with the fact my friend knows the language. But may it not be a good path to learn C# then g ...Show All

• Daniel Gary Shared components versioning strategy.....

  Is it wise or/and acceptable to use "*" (asterisk) in version number. If the assembly is shared and GAC'ed, each time a developer re-compiles to fix an "issue" it changes the version and all applications that depend on the shared component will break... Is there a good reason to use "*" (asterisk) in version number Are there any references or Best Practice documents about this subject I wouldn't recommend using it. Here's one blog entry with some guidance on versioning: http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archive/2003/05/29/57148.aspx ...Show All

• bpeikes Monitoring an object for changes

  Hi, I have an object which contains many Properties. Actually, this object is only one type of object inside of a hierarchal based object model using the Collections.ObjectModel.KeyedCollection. To give you an idea as to what I am trying to do, let me explain some of the objects and the properties that I need notification of. "Rod" class has a .Length property. "Part" has a .Shape, .Pin, and .Socket property. "Wheel" has a .Diameter and .Radius property. "NonStationary" has a .CurrentValue property. That's just a small example, just to get to my question. I was wondering what is the standard practice of notifying when property values have changed. The trick is that I am not concerned about single individual object property changes, only T ...Show All

• kdong [URGENT] Distance between two postcodes

  Hi all, We have a kind of urgent issue here. We are about to commence development on an application that is to perform calculations based on the distance by road between two postcodes. We were going to use a certain web service provider for this but they have come back saying that they do not support the volume of queries that our application is going to make (potentially 40000 per month). My question is do any of you guys know of any software or web services that we can interface with to query the distance between two postcodes by road, bearing in mind that this is a UK based operation and reasonable performance is a must.
