Anyone know what I need to do to be able to search the network drives again How come there is no "help" in the Widows Desktop Search" toolbar. Quite a problem. paul schultz lancaster, PA ...Show All

Any resolution or alternative idea ...Show All

• .NET Development Reflection: Best way to identify if a specific Interface Exists

  Question Is there a better way than what is shown in the code sample to determine if an Assemblies exported types contain a specific interface Example _Assembly = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(File); AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ReflectionOnlyAssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(OnAssemblyResolve); Type[] types = _Assembly.GetExportedTypes(); foreach (Type t in types) { Type[] infs = t.GetInterfaces(); if (infs.Length > 0) foreach (Type ty in infs) if (ty.Name == "IPlugin") { _IsValid = true; break; } } WHY Admittedly I have gotten spoiled by the HashTable/Dictionary object where if a key or a value is contained within the hash, one can call Contains(Key | Value) without havin ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problems with Unicode

  is using TCHAR is better or Going with 2byte Unicode is better else Going with Ascii is better If you want to localize your code to non-English, you will need Unicode. If you don't know or care right now, just use TCHAR consistently and then later you can easily switch between the two, and define _UNICODE "just because." If you are more used to the ascii versions of the c runtime library function or need to port to Unix, then don't use TCHAR. Use char everywhere. Brian ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Publish --- Won't

  I seem to have "lost" the CLR Well, that's what the message says when I try to Publish: "Error 1 Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime, Version=2.0.50727.0'. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets 2071 9 " The message ISN'T wrong !! "CommonLanguageRuntime" is not in 'Microsoft.Windows'. I cant find it under that name in Program Files either. (Maybe I'm running on a 'virtual' copy) Since the IDE and my app run just fine locally, I guess it's just Publish that can't find it.
