• Visual C# reference type

  Hi all, I was reading the following: " If you specify that a reference type should be passed by value, a copy of the reference is made and the copy is passed". How do you pass a refernece as value in C# I thought, for example, string is a reference class, all I need to do is just call Foo(str) and it is passed by reference and there is no need for ref. Am I missing something. Thanks You pass a reference type by value if you don't use the ref keyword.  But that doesn't necessarily mean you can't change the value of what the reference type is referencing, it just means you can't change the value of the reference itself (you can change the data it points to, but not which data ...Show All

• Visual Basic Fraction to decimal

  Hi! I have a list with prices of US Treasury bonds. They are quoted in a particular way that I would like to convert to decimal form. They are quoted like this eg: 99-02. Now this means that the price is 99 and some decimal. The two first numbers are the number of 32:s. Thus in this case the price is 99 and 2/32. However if there are three decimals eg 99-021 the last digit refers to the number of 124:s. Thus the price is 99 and 2/32 and 1/256. Sometimes There are only two decimals followed by a plus or minus sign eg 99-30+ or 99-10-. The plus/minus indicates that you should add/subtract 1/64. Keep in mind that the non decimal numbers may be one, two or three digits. Thus, it could be eg. 6-02 87-22- or 105-21+. Is there any wa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error in unshelve - 'Cannot insert null @MissingParents.ItemId'

  I just tried to unshelve a weeks work and am now presented with : A database error occurred (SQL error 515) ---> Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ItemId', table '@missingParents'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. I will try to work around it unshelving one file at a time - but thought I would report as a bug. Ask for any more information that you need.   Ended up being a directory that was shelved with a pending undelete, and a file by the same name in that directory with an edit. Attempting to unshelve the file caused the error to occur. Hi Buck, I have contacted Customer Support, and they said that if i can quote the KB article number, the ...Show All

• Visual Basic Report Viewer - simple question

  I have a report viewer that is pointing to a Server Report that resides on a different machine. The VB Windows program crunches data and returns that data to the SQL server.

But when I go to the URL (through internet explorer), the report is there and shows fine. What code would I use to make the report display in the report viewer control I have tried reportviewer.refresh, reportviewer.update, etc. Thanks for the information Brad ...Show All

• Visual C# find if a collection contains another collection

  Hello, I have two collections of string and I want to know if the first one contains the second (which menas all the strings in the second are also in the first) is there a build in function which does it if not what is the best way to do it (I'm sure sorting is involved) Thanks. I think you would have to go through each element of each array and compare the values from one array with the current position in the other array. something like.... foreach (string currentItem in firstArray) { foreach(string theSecondArrayCurrentItem in theSecondArray) { if (currentItem.Equals(theSecondArrayCurrentItem)) { //handle it, the item exists in both collections } } } This will be very i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Build and DB project.
