• Visual C# Dynamic generate JScript code using C#

  I want to generate a JScript source code file using CodeDom in C# . To be more specific, I use class JScriptCodeProvider. Everything seems fine except when generating , for example the following JScript code: public class Evaluator implements IEvaluator { } My C# code for generating that is: CodeTypeDeclaration Class1 = new CodeTypeDeclaration("Evaluator"); JscriptTest.Types.Add(Class1); Class1.IsClass = true; Class1.BaseTypes.Add(new CodeTypeReference("IEvaluator")); The problem is that CodeTypeDeclaration class only has the collection BaseTypes but not something like InterfaceTypes hence instead of generating "implements", it generates "extends" public class Evaluator e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bound Dynamic properties not retained after save - Using Vihang Dalal's Designer Rehosting

  I am using Designer Rehosting code posted by Vihang Dalal. I am also using DynamicPropertiesActivity from Ghenadie's blog. I create a workflow with DynamicPropertyActivity as one of the activities. Added 'strTest' to DynamicProperties collection. In order to be able to use this attribute in the rest of the workflow to bing to other activities, I believe I have to bind 'strTest' to a new member. So created a new Property member say dynProp_strTest. I can now use dynProp_strTest to bind to other activities. So far so good. The issue comes up when I try to save this workflow and then reopen it again in Designer. I can no longer see the new member 'dynProp_strTest' that I created. I understand it is getting lost during Save, but do not exactly ...Show All

• Visual Basic accessing a project level variable accessible via any form or module..

  I want to retain the name of a file loaded in a Windows Main Form and then be able to access that same file project name within a user control which is part of the same project as the Main Form. As it is now, I am instantiating a file containing global vars and then instantiating the same file all over again.... with uninitialized vars.

• SQL Server Hem! Query Problem

  I may not be using this right, so if I am not, be gentle Im in Visual Basic Express, I went to the database explorer and right clicked on my table thats in the database and selected new query. I noticed Query1 at the top, anyhow I laid out my query like I wanted, and went to save Guess What, I couldnot find a save but, all I found was save all. I did choose that, but I cannot find the query now. Started a another query and I noticed ,Query2, so it had to have saved it, but where Is this not the right approach Very Confused at this point Davids Learning Andrea is correct. The New Query functionality is used to allow you to run ad hoc queries against your database. I'm guessing that ...Show All

• Visual C++ GetProcAddress doesnt find the function in my dll

  Hi all! I've just started dealing with dll-s for two days, but I got stucked and dont see how to move on..so to make my first steps, with some searching I created a Test.dll with a function fnTest() in it. Exactly it's prototype in the header file looks like the following: __declspec(dllexport) int fnTest(void); If I'm using implicit linking it's ok. The trouble is on when I try to link it explicitly. HINSTANCE Testdll; Testdll = LoadLibrary("Test.dll"); They are still good, it finds the Test.dll, but the GetProcAddress returns with NULL, although it should work..(The dll is correct, it worked while linking implicitly): fnTestptr importaltfnTest; importaltfnTest = (fnTestptr)GetProcAddress(Testdll,"fnTes ...Show All
