• Visual Basic VB Generics: if list.Exists("Foo")

  I love generics but I don't understand them very well and can't find an answer that makes any sense to me. Perhaps someone can help. I understand dim l as List(Of String) and l.Add("One") l.Add("Two") l.Add("Three") but I don't get if l.Exists("Foo") then l is a list of String, and apparently I need to define a delegate that returns true/false if the param exists in the list. Have to use AddressOf to tell Exists what to call when it's invoked. All that sorta makes sense. However, I'm very unclear on what the delegate should look like MSDN shows a hard coded "saurus", but that makes no sense to me - it seems like I ought to walk the list somehow, and I'm assumi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build result not showing in the Builds Report

  i have stopped getting new entries in my reports, even though they appear in the list of builds. I've only added a task to create a directory & make a dummy exec call to do a "dir"...

• Visual C++ Class derived from abstract class with static members

  hi, i derive my class from the abstract Stream class. my class contains static members. one of them makes use of a static variable member, where an error is generated at compile time (C2259: cannot instantiate abstract class). of course this is due to the fact, that the static instance of the class is created at the first time, a static member is accessed. why is the restriction, that no objects can be created from abstract classes, also true for the static instance is there a way of get around this thanks! hi, thanks for your reply! the compiler stops at the red marked line ("error C2259: 'D2XX': cannot instantiate abstract class"): public ref class D2XX : public Stream { protected: ...Show All

• Visual C# Debugging a process which won't shut down

  Hi there DotNetters Forgive me for the vague description, but here is my situation: I have a third party component I'm calling into which causes my application to hang once its shut down. Basically when I call into this component at a certain point in my code and then shut down my app later the app "appears" to shut down but actually hangs around in memory running in the background. (Killing the process from the process explorer does work). The tricky part is that if I call into the third party component from other sections in my code I don't have the issue (of course other problems permit me from calling it from the "safe" areas). So here's my question, realizing that it's difficult to get a handle on this without actu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Filename Collision nightmare

  Here's my situation: Trunk |__ Branch A |__Branch B Branch A was baseless merged in to B Branch A was merged into trunk. Trunk was merged into B resulting in hundreds of filename collisions because the files were created from Branch A via baselss merge and then when merged in via the trunk, TFS doesn't recognize them as the same file and so now my only option when checking in the file is to undo local changes or ignore, neither of which is what I want to happen. I want the changes from the trunk to establish the merge relationship of those files that were baseless merged in from A. However, the only way I can see to do this is to undo the changes on each file force a baseless merge from trunk to B, then resolve the conflict.. ...Show All

• SQL Server Varying parameter size..?

  Hello, I want to write a function that takes varying number of parameters.I mean: Fonk(4,5,7) Fonk(2) Fonk(6,6,6,8) There is a way to do this in T-SQL Thanks in advance... Hi, if this is an array of values passe to the function you should consider to pass the values as a string and a function to split the values to a table like done in: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx PostID=320221&SiteID=17 If they are indepedent parameters which are not just a value collection you can’t do it.

• Windows Forms identifying all child object's state?

  Hi, I have developed a Business Logic Layer for my Forms Application. For all classes, there is 2 properties 'isPersisted' and 'isModified'. These properties allow the application to know when to Insert, or Update an object's data to the underlying DB. i.e. IF 'isPersisted' = False and 'isModified' = True then we insert. OR  IF 'isPersisted' = True and 'isModified' = True then we update. i.e. in my Logic 'isPersisted' is True when the object has related data which exists in the DB, whilst 'isModified' means that the object's properties have been changed and will require either updating or inserting, depending on the state of the 'isPersisted' object. I have a Base Class which all my classes ...Show All
