• Community Chat What language do you prefer?

  Could someone please enlighten me as to what the advantages and disadvantages of the following languages are, in general: C# C++ Visual Basic Also: I read somewhere that C++ was much better for game programming than VB, but why VB is easier to learn and use, so what are the advantages of C++ Squire James wrote: Employers seem to make a big deal out of miniscule differences, treating people like vb and C# are different job skills and all. I've always thought this as well. VB and C# are extremely similar -- much closer to each other than C# is to C++. Personally, I prefer writing in C++. I like knowing what the machine is doing, and VB/C# don't provide that knowledge. And with the addition of C++/CLI, ...Show All

• .NET Development Avoid serializing base class members

  Hi, I have extended System.Windows.Form.Label control and I also implement one additional interface containing some properties. public class MyLabel: System.Windows.Form.Label, IMyInterface { //... } What will be the simplest way to serialize an instance of MyLabel class to include only IMyInterface members. I do not need to serialize any of base class (Label) members. Thank you. Hello, The XmlSerializer will treat the public members of the interface as if they are members of the derived type. In your derived type you will need to put the XmlIgnoreAttribute on all of the public members that you don't want serialized. Daniel Roth ...Show All

• .NET Development Detrmine if I can create Directories or files.

  How do I find out if I have write access to a directory to create files and / or directories without actually writing/deleting anything. I started looking at ACL stuff but it's a bit daunting. I figured that somewhere in the bowels of .Net there is a 'IsWriteAccess()' call somewhere - just that I haven't been able to find it.
