• Visual Studio Express Editions my own private void

  well i got my own private void(MoveButtonsVisible1), but i dont know how to use the code that is in my private void i tryed MoveButtonsVisible1(); but that dont seems to be right :( can you post the entire method a method void should be like this: private void MethodName () {    //code here }   then to access it in that class: this.

• Visual C# keystroke to view methods to override?

  I found this link which says to use CTRL + ALT + INS to create overriden methods from a base class. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165524(vs.80).aspx The problem is I can't get this to work with my C#, VS2k5 environment. Can anyone else If you can't, how else would you get a list of base methods to know what to be able to override I know I can start typing out 'public override' and let the intellisense bring up my list, but I would love to know how to get the CTRL+ALT+INS working instead! Thanks. The link you have found refers to how visual studio reacts when you have enable the Emacs project scheme. (Emacs is a unix texteditor/programming editor). You can enable this ...Show All

• Visual C++ Nested classes and friend functions

  I was wondering if someone might be kind enough to help me with a problem I have compiling nested classes with friend functions that are members of the enclosing class. For example: If I have class A which has class B nested inside it: class A { public: class B { private: int private_member; public: friend void A::friend_function(); }; void friend_function(); }; I have tried compiling the above (with friend_function() suitably defined of course) with other compilers and it works fine. Visual C++ screams with multiple definition errors however. Different errors appear if I comment out the friend_function definition in class A. What is the protocol for implementing code of ...Show All

• Windows Forms ConstraintException when modifying column values in a DataView

  I have a ListBox that is bound to a DataView. The DataView (called componentsView) has the Sort property set to sort by "Pos", a Byte-type, unique-constrained column. Buttons are used to add or remove items to or from the ListBox. Upon adding items to the ListBox, the first item is given a "Pos" value of 1 and the second a "Pos" value of 2 and so on. My goal now is to implement buttons that are used to move items up or down the ListBox by one position. I intend to do this by modifying the value of the "Pos" column which will cause the ListBox to reorder according to the Sort property. The code below shows how I am currently trying to do that: Dim rowToMoveUp As DataRowView = componentsView.Item(ComponentsListBox.SelectedIndex) Dim rowTo ...Show All

• .NET Development Multiple Web Services, Shared types and interoperability

  Is designing a system with multiple web services an interoperability killer I see two ways to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong. 1. Use a feature like wsdl.exe /sharetypes in .Net 2.0 to generate a client proxy from multiple WSDL files. 2. Making a custom WSDL file with multiple bindings. What is the better choice in regard to interoperability. Does Java have a way to create a client proxy from multiple WSDL files Does the /sharetypes feature in .Net even work well enough for .Net Is there a standard way to combine multiple web services in one WSDL file I found this article "Increase Your App's Reach Using WSDL to Combine Multiple Web Services", but it does not mention anything about interoperability. http://msd ...Show All

• .NET Development Path.GetFileName UNC bug

  There appears to be a bug in Path.GetFileName relating to UNC paths: Console .WriteLine( Path .GetFileName( @ \\Server\Share )); outputs: Share But "Share" is not a file or directory by itself. It will work if you do it like this: Path.GetFileName(@"\\Server\Share\"); GetFileName doesn't actually check path exists. It parses the filename purely based on the given path string. In your case, the path looks like a file named "Share" living in the default folder of a share named "\\Server". With the trailing backslash, it is obvious that "Share" is a folder name. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to create an interface with singleton pattern

  I have seen an example of this in C# but I cannot convert it to VB. I am looking at a way to create an Formfactory/interface solution to solve circular dependency. If anyone knows of a way to do this any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the context. The best practice is to use the My.Forms collection. E.g. My.Forms.MainForm will have the exact behavior you mention. This feature only exists in VS 2005 or greater. If you're on VS 2002 or 2003 you can use the singleton code from above. This is a close approximation to what My.Forms does. Best, Paul ...Show All
