• Visual C# Pointer

  as far as me know, this statement MyClass o = new MyClass(); are actually create instance of [MyClass] in memory and [ o ] are not the instance but the pointer which point to memory. am me right My problem is : Dictionary<string,MyClass> myCollection = new Dictionary<string,MyClass>(); myCollection.Add("Object01",new MyClass()); // and somewhere else MyClass obj = myCollection["Object01"]; ok, here the problem, according to theory above, [ obj ] are also the pointer which point to the momery, when me :- myCollection.Remove("Object01"); the instance are still exist, because what me have remove/kill are only the pointer which point to the "real" instance, so the [obj] are still able t ...Show All

Create and extra 2 byte field at the end for the import of the CR/LF and just ignore the field in your transforms. Or use the "Ragged Right" option for the file. ...Show All

• Visual C++ File name casing change when opening file via 'output window'

  Hello,I have a solution where some header files are #included that are not part of the solution.When the compiler complains about a compiler error in one of those header files and I open that file by double clicking the line in the 'output' window, then the filename is changed to all lower case. When I make a change and save the file, then it is overwritten with the new name and the previous casing is lost.Is there some setting I can change so that this doesn't happen, or is this a bug Regards,Frederik Yes, I'd call it a bug. The workaround is easy though, just add the header file to your project. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development control.invoke

  Hi all. Can someone push or punch me in the right direction here Using the CF 2.0 I have an application that is doing an async poll of a TCP listener for data. When the data arrives, I want to update certain forms with the values. In a nutshell, The data arrives. I determine what type of data it is and where it should display. I populate properties of a class with the data. I then raise an event to signal the data is here and the properties have been populated. It is here where my problems start. Based on the the data I will determine what form I need to interact with. I need to call a sub from within that form to populate the controls on it.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Tutorials

  If it's not too much trouble, could this topic be stickied I am just wondering if we could have a main thread that carries links to all the tutorials. In other words, someone makes a thread with a new tutorial, and then, they post the link to it here with a description of the tutorial. That way, others don't have to search through a whole forum for just one topic. Just an idea to make it easier on everyone.   On a side note, I plan on linking this thread to another thread titled: First XNA Program Development Team (FXPDT). Take a look at it. Thanks for your time. Also, I've added some tutorials for you all for now.   P.S. Since the tutorials are publicly viewed and linked to, I don't think you need permission to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Server not referred to by the FQDN

  I want the server to refer to itself ONLY by the FQDN. http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/2330/properties9sk.jpg if you have a look in the image - the server name is Fully Qualified, although the link that it will send the user to is not. how do i make them both be the same FQ thank you.
