• Visual C# Is there a collection that acts like a dictionary and arraylist?

  HI, I'm looking for a collection that acts like both a dictionary and an arraylist. When I add to the collection, I'd like to use a key that is a string, and the value is an object. Then I can simply use the IDictionary Contains() method to see if the key exists. But I also need to preserve the order that items are inserted into the collection, like an arraylist, so I can enumerate over the collection and the items (or values in the dictionary) come out in the order inserted. If I just use a Hashtable, then I get an order I suppose specified by the hashcode. If I use a SortedList, then the order is specified as alphabetical by the string key. Is there a standard collection that already has this behavior Or do I need to write my own ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream For now, at least, no; C# as well as Managed DirectX still have a hurdles to get over (IMO). The language is still relatively new, developers are still learning the ins and outs and how to push applications developed in C# to the limit. In my opinion, although I love C# and swear by it, the professional community is and will be very reluctant to drop C++ for a newcomer such as C#, especially considering its lack of cross platform abilities. ...Show All

• .NET Development detailsView and/or tableAdapter data manipulation

  Hi! I have the following problem: Theres a detailsView that I use to let users enter data. This data then gets published on a website (think simple CMS). But the users that enter data are not tech-savvy, therefore I need to replace CR and LF with <br />. This isn't difficult as is, to perform this all I need to do is "string.Replace("\r\n", "<br />")", but the problem lies in the data access. the detailsView is fed from a tableAdapter that gets a whole table from a DB. This code is not written by me, so I'm not into the technical details. All I am looking for is the right moment and way to let my replace do its work. I tried to access the data within the detailsView (programmatically) usin ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to Increase the Pocket PC 2003 Emulator Device Memory ?

  I am running out of memory when deploying a vb 2005 application (with sql ce). So I want to increase the emulator memory Using VS 2005 I have gone into tools>options>device tools>devices>Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator>Properties>Emulator Options> .. tick Specify RAM Size, and put 64, 128 or 256 in the ram size box. Then I kick off the emulator either by running the vb project or by running it from "Device Emulator Manager" - my setting seems to be always ignored and the device memory is showing as 29.70MB. A hard reset of the running device does not solve the problem. Neither does rebooting the PC. Any ideas thanks  note I am able to kick off the emulator manually, using this command line....

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Visual C# Express gotcha

  I am used to full blown Visual Studio 2005 but I decided that I'd play with Visual C# Express so I could better get a feel for that IDE since this is the environment for XNA Express. Just so you all know, when you create a project in C# Express it doesn't get saved to disk until you explicitly tell it to save or close the project. Amazingly even if you compile and run the new project it still won't be saved to disk. The upshot of this is that if the IDE crashes or gets terminated unexpectedly there doesn't seem to be any way to recover the project or the files you were editing. Twice I ended up losing the entire project I was working on because of this. I searched the entire disk to try and find my files and couldn't. The workarou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Contributor Access being lost for users

  We are having difficulties with users suddenly not being able to edit work items in TFS. We thought this was due to problems with our web based interface, since they can usually add/edit bugs through the Visual Studio IDE even when they couldn't via the web. However, today, one user was unable to edit a bug via the IDE either. The error is: TF26201: This work item has unsupported fields, or user does not have permissions. The users can sometimes work, so we think we've fixed it, then their access appears to be cut off again. It is very frustrating The users are set up in an AD Group, and that group is added as a contributor user. I have found if I remove the group from the contributors, then re-add it, and IISRESET the server, t ...Show All
