• x452Alba Calling methods of a class without creating an instance of it

  Hi, I'm sure this probably has been answered before, but somehow I couldn't find it, so really sorry about that. But how do you call methods of a class without having to create an instance of it I mean, in my project I have something like: public class FileOperations{ public void read_config_file(...) { (...) } } And I want to call the read_config_file(who doesn't depend on anything but the filename and a property where it'll write the config values) without having to do: FileOperations fileOp = new FileOperations(); fileOp.read_config_file(); I was a poor (poor like in noob) Java programmer but I used humm I believe it were static methods in abstract classes, something like that, don't re ...Show All

• Aleniko29139 C# Creating a derived class from a base class.

  I creating a source code generator that code generates the entire data tier and business tier for any SQL Server database (For each table I create a stored procedure, the data object, the business object, the data object reader and writer, etc.). The business objects are inherited from the data objects as shown: public class AddressBusinessObject : AddressDataObject The way the generator works is it creates the data object every time, but it only creates the business object if it has not been created, thus you may customize the business object and any changes to the data object (new fields) can be re-code generated without affecting the customizations to the business object. All of the private variables and properties for th ...Show All

• Moksi Problem: The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

  Hi, I've run into a problem that seems to defy a solution. Bottom line: When I'm attempting to debug with VS 2005, I cannot set an effective breakpoint in one of the source files. The breakpoint is the hollowed-out reddish/yellow circle, and VS says that the breakpoint won't work because the symbols are not loaded. I've found several discussions in this forum about this type of problem, but there's no concensus that I could find on how to solve the problem. Some background might be in order. I have been developing a "data binder" for use in a forms UI application that has multiple threads. There are three projects/classes in the solution, one for a test mainline, using forms, one for a general-purpose "dump" routi ...Show All

• Jassim Rahma Is it possible to invoke a generic static class mthod through reflection.

  Hi all, I have the following scenario. I have a generic static class. Is there a way for me to invoke something like that using reflection. For example. I have a static class with a method. MyClass<T>.Show() The item being shown depends on T. Can I invoke such a method using reflection I have the string (MyClass<MyType>) given to me, but I cannot create an instance of that using reflection (since MyClass is a static class). Any help is appreciated. Thanks ahead. David Yes, you've got it. And yes, you need the 1, although to be honest I'm not sure why. I think it might be the indexer of the generic type parameter Hi David. You can simply pass the g ...Show All

• Rattlerr Difference "Designer.cs" & "designer.cs" WinForms

  Hi, I am doing C# development on Visual Studio 2005. But, as all would know in VS2005, usually the Windows Forms will generate the "Form1.cs" and "Form1.Designer.cs" at the design time simutaneously. But, I forget what I did during the development time. The "Form1. D esigner.cs" became "Form1. d esigner.cs". But it still can be compiled after the letter case had changed. Eventually, I need to standardize all the files name. So, I rename the "...designer.cs" to the original "...Designer.cs". But, the IDE cannot compiled it anymore. Any ideas to rename it back to the original file name Where does the reference to the designer file located Is it in the csproj file or at other resource file Which file is in control of the designer file Than ...Show All

• Xelestial Using C++ pointer tricks in C#: type safety & unsafe blocks

  This may sound like an unusual question for C# users, but I am trying to migrate some tricky C++ code that utilized pointers in a very efficient manner to populate an array of four bytes with the four bytes of a long value, like so: unsigned char longData[4]; long * longPtr = &longData[0]; * longPtr = doSomeCalcWhichReturnsALongValue(someIntValue); The type safety enforced by C#/.NET doesn't seem to casting between a byte pointer and a long pointer, even when wrapped in an "unsafe" method: unsafe static public byte[] convertData ( int rawData ) { byte[] data = new byte[4]; fixed (float* floatPtr = &data[0]){} int scaledValue = 127 - rawData; // LookupTable contains a list of pre-calc'ed flo ...Show All

• Dave Britton - VERTIGO getting rid of autogenerated datasources

  I used the Add Data Sources wizard and added some controls to my form. This resulted in datasets & bindingsources being added. I would now like to remove that data source. How can I achieve this I have deleted the autogenerated datasets, bindingsource & tableadaptor. But the datasource still remains in my Data Sources Tab as well as the .xsd file, etc. I don't see any Remove Data Source option... Thanks for any help. Hi, when you add new data source, it gets added to your project. Open Solution Explorer and expand your project's Properties node. There's a DataSources folder; you'll find your data source references there. If you don't need them any more, it's safe to delete them. Andrej ...Show All

• dragoncells using nested namespaces in application

  Hi, hopefully this is an easy one: I have mutiple namespaces contained within my main assembly for grouping similar classes. For example, let's just say my assembly name is "MainAssembly", and in MainAssembly, I have the following namespaces: MainAssembly.FirstLayer MainAssembly.FirstLayer.a MainAssembly.FirstLayer.SecondLayer MainAssembly.FirstLayer.SecondLayer.a MainAssembly.OutsideLayer Ok, now in my Application that has a reference to this project.
