• Visual C# Reflection doubt............

  Hello Everybody, Another doubt about reflection........................ I want to get the methods of the unmanged dll in C#. Is it possible I want that in my project very urgently...................Please help me......... It's not something you can automate. The problem is, DLLs don't usually contain enough information to describe the methods they contain. This is one of the things that .NET brings that Win32 never had: enough metadata in your components that you can discover what methods are available. COM sort of had this with type libraries. (The two problems there being: not every COM component has a type library; not everything you can do in COM can actually be represented in a type library.) So if it's a COM ...Show All

• .NET Development Missing DWMAPI.dll causes problem with COM interop in c#

  I have recently installed IE7, and am now experiencing a problem with COM interop in one of my c# projects. It seems that there is a dependency on a dll called DWMAPI.dll from the COM dll. I have read a bunch of posts about similar problems, and it seems this dll comes with Vista, but is missing on XP machines. For some reason, installing IE7 makes it become a dependency for things like .NET interop. The only solution I have been able to find in the forums and posts is to uninstall IE7. Microsoft has not yet posted anything that I could find in regards to this issue. Does anyone know something I don't Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan i think i'm having the same problem with ntwdblib.dl ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GSE/XNA/C# Express Confusion

  Just some thoughts... So if I understand all this correctly even though I have Visual Studio .NET I have to download and use an express version of C# and download GSE Seems silly. If this is really being pushed towards amateurs then GSE and C# express should be integrated so it's one download and one application (aka easy). Otherwise it should be built on the real visual studio. In the current situation it seems both the amateurs that microsoft is trying to attract and the professional "dabblers" are getting the shaft to a degree. I'm also not really sure what the point of GSE and XNA is in the first place. I would think that 360 compatability could be boiled down to a document that tells you what features/API's are sup ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30162: Task "SharePointPortal" from Group "Portal" failed

  Yesterday we performed a clean install of Team Foundation Server from MSDN on Windows 2003 Server RC2 and Sharepoint Services SP2. We were able to connect through the network and AD and created two new TFS projects. We rebooted the server and are now unable to create a new project with any user (including the TFSService) user through the network or on the server. We can still connect to TFS and access the two test projects. Here is the error we receive in the Team Explorer when we try to create a new project.

• Visual C# Unique ID

  The index is not unique for array's items, when you can delete and insert items to your array. There is a class in Delphi which you can search your array by an ID generated and managed by Delphi. How can I set a unique ID to my array's elements in .NET If you want to create your own ID look into creating a GUID. That way you are guaranteed unique values as the id. To build on PJ's suggestion: string ID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); Dictionary< string , string > myHash = new Dictionary< string , string >(); myHash.Add( ID, "This is radio Clash"); myHash.Add(Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "On pirate Satellite"); foreach (KeyValuePair< string , string > ...Show All

• .NET Development help understanding gacutil.exe and the dll path issue

  I have this code in a VS2003 setup Project mySetup.exe that registers the TranslatorHttpHandler.dll in the GAC: string strCmdLine; strCmdLine = @"/C C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\gacutil.exe -i TranslatorHttpHandler.dll" ; System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdLine); Is this command going to look for the file TranslatorHttpHandler.dll in the same folder where mySetup.exe is runing.

• .NET Development Pinchanged event

  If I start with DSR connected to DTR and then break the connection, the pinchanged event fires just fine. However it executes several more times after I close the connection again. Is there something I need to do to "reset" the state of that pin so the event fires just once PinChanged might fire multiple times to tell you about not just DSR but also CTS and DCD changing. Use e.EventType to filter for the one you're interested in. Beware that PinChanged fires on a non-GUI thread, well after the actual signal change occurred. DCD is normally only used by modems (data carrier detect, only modems can detect a carrier). Non-modem devices often jumper that signal, most commonly to either DTR or DS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Running VSTS unit tests, according to priority?

  Hi, I am currently working on a project with hundreds of unit tests that can take a long time to complete.  We are using VSTS unit tests. I am interested in running only tests of a certain priority as part of our interval builds throughout the day. I am aware I can set an attribute assigning them a priority, but how can I tell MSTest to only run tests of priority 3 (for example.) Thanks for your help. Hello, Unfortunately you are hitting another issue that we currently have in RTM (and don't have a clear repro for it). That vsmdi file shouldn't get created again.
