• Visual Basic how to invoke method in a class from a C++ dll in vb.net

• .NET Development System.Collections.ArrayList sorting improvements

  Hi! Short suggestion about this class. It's got several Sort methods implemented. But none of them expects System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder parameter, what would be great. (PS.I know how to implement it.) Cheers, Dawid Ireno. Of course - serving an IComparer implementation would work fine. But that's not the point, is it In .NET Framework there is a lot to do. For example .NET's 1.1 string (the very very basic class!) had no Contains(string) method. Version 2.0 has got it, while it was natural. It was only a matter of time Cheers, David ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Pending changes error

  Automatic checkout is enabled for my project. When I make new change to a file, a checkout attempt is made and if the pending changes window is open, I get the following error about 70% of the time: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." The file will check out, but it will not show up in the pending changes window, if I try to refresh the pending changes window I am greeted by this error again. If pending changes is not open, this error will not occur and if I close Visual Studio and open it again pending changes will load correctly.

• .NET Development Reading A Single Line Of An XML Document

  Hi, I am using VB 2005 to create a hangman game and have saved a word document containing a list of words as an XML Document. Would someone be able to help me with loading a single line of the XML file into a String in VB 2005, I have tried using Readers etc but haven't got very far. Or better still... is there an easier way to load a single line of text from a file (e.g. a text file) without loading the whole text up to that line into an Array, as I have a file with 100,000+ words, which would take ages to load into an array. Thanks in advance for your help. I think the question is not to load whole database of words into memory. I believe a more efficient way is to seperate wordlists into bins of ...Show All

• Visual C++ Opening multiple files in a single program instance

  This is something that is done millions of times every day... Using Windows Explorer you double click a file to open it, the associated program starts up and the file is opened, if the associated program is already running, then the file is opened in that (already running) instance of the program. Simple... However, I'm having trouble finding how to do this simple feat with VC++ 2005, CLR, CLI, .NET. What is the simplest "supported" way to do this Thank you! This gets me half way there...

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft's future policy for redistributing Xbox 360 games?

  Before I commit serious time and effort to the XNA framework, I'm wondering if anyone knows Microsoft plans for allowing us to redistribute our games for Xbox360. I'm an academic. Let's say I want to make some educational/simulation games that my students can use on the Xbox 360. Will I be able to provide them with a CD or download link in XBox live As far as I can tell so far, the only games I can write are for myself. I saw a movie not so long ago where an XNA Creator talks about the future of XNA. I dont know if it was a recent video or an old one. But this guy talks about what you can do with XNA and how great it is that you can deploy to the X360. He then talks about the stages or lifetime of ...Show All
