• Visual C# Determining if a generic Type implements ICollection

  Hi, I need to know if MyProperty returns an ICollection<T> for any T. Given a PropertyInfo instance that has a PropertyType of an IList derivative, for example. public IList<MyType> MyProperty { get { return mycollection; } } I am iterating through the properties of the type, and would like to know which properties implement an ICollection of any kind. Basically I need to know if MyProperty returns an ICollection<T> for any T. Is there any way of finding this out My problem is that I cannot seem to find a way of determining if the property returns a collection of 'any kind' I have to know the exact type of the property which I don't really know at runtime. I have tried typeof(IList<object ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to declare activeX object in source code instead on the form?

  Hi everyone, My questio is about VB6 ..... I want to declare a ActiveX object in the source instead of "drag and drop" a ActiveX object into the form. Let's say, I want to declare a timer dynamatically at run time, so I want a way to decalre a timer in the source. I found code from the other forums seem to do the job but it would not compile for me: Dim withevents my_timer as timer 'Or Private withevents my_timer as timer   'In form_load() set my_timer = new timer ()  <---- this line would not compile Any idea Thanks Kit (This probably should be moved elsewhere as it doesn't strictly apply to VBA, but the concept is the same.) There are a couple possibilities here: 1.) You haven't set a reference to th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging .Net Class Lib called from COM+

  I have a legacy ASP app which has a COM backend. The COM component is making a call to a public function in a .NET class library. What I'd like to do if it is possible is to have a breakpoint set in the .NET code in Visual Studio at which execution will stop when the function is called from the COM component. In VB6, you could just run the debugger and it would wait for the component to be created, however you can't do this in .NET. Is this possible The COM component is running in a dedicated server process under Component Services. TIA ...Show All

• .NET Development high performance ADO.NET

  Hi there, I plan to implement an application requiring very high performance access to a Ms-SQL 2005 database. More precisely, I will have about 10 millions of rows in a table to update. They will be retrived by the application by blocks (say 1000 at a time), and, after computing on application side, will be returned back to the database, through UPDATE commands (in stored proc). For sure, there are lots of topics to address to achieve high performance (size of data in rows, network impact, table and indexes design, application performance, etc.). My question here concerns the ADO.NET layer and the dialog with MS-SQL. I'm looking for documentation, technical articles, advices, etc, to design high performance&nb ...Show All

• .NET Development Client/server application

  I want to build a windows forms 2.0 client application that accesses and modifies data from an access database on a server. I'm not sure how to get started with this, since I'm only used to building client applications. Does anyone know any good articles on the subject, or maybe a place where I can see some samples I just need a kick in the right direction... Thanks \Soeren Hi, No, you can't do that. Except if you have an sqlserver express installed in your client. I'm connecting to a sqlserver to the server itself and provide a username and password. By this, other people could connect to your database at the same time and not require the client to have a sqlserver express installed... che ...Show All
