• .NET Development .NET Exception handling - a step backwards from VB6?

  I don't know if I just don't understand .NET's error handling or what, but it's pretty clear that there's no such thing as resume, or resume next. Finally is worthless for this because unless you know the exact line that the error occurred in in the Try, how are you going to know where to resume in the Finally. It seems that no matter what exception occurs in .NET, there really is no such thing as "Handling" it. If Sub A() calls Sub B() and an error occurs in Sub B(), then your code will leave Sub B() with the remaining lines unexecuted and return to Sub A(). What is Sub A() supposed to do, other than continue on as though Sub B() was never called. If Sub B() rethrows the exeception to Sub A(), well, then Sub A() is in the same dilemm ...Show All

• Windows Forms Order of event

  What is the order of event after the valuechanged in a combo box or datetime picker in the valuechanged event , i wanted to check if the input in valid or not if not, i will assign the value to the default but it happens in this valuechange and it will have infinite looping. regards Alu You should not rely on the order of events unless the events are specified as occurring in a specific order (such as BeginSomething, EndSomething). The ordering of events is an implementation detail. As far as defaulting invalid values you can handle that in the ValueChanged event handler. You should not get in an infinite loop provided that the new value is valid. Take this sample code: ValueChanged handler (E1) { if not valid Value ...Show All

  To the MSFT dudes, Is there any news on whether or not gamecards will be readable in future versions I'm creating a multiplayer game (with both hotseat and concurrent play) and would like to be able to show gamer pictures and names and such (similar to how Uno does it). A simple GamerIdentity class and GetIdentity( PlayerIndex ) would be cool! I think that would be a lot better than aways saying 'Player 1' or 'Player 2' :) I don't mean Live, I just mean the current player profile. You can have offline player profiles that aren't associated with Live accounts. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Multiple Instances of AxWebBrowser

  Hi, I have a csharp application, running multiple instances of AxWebBrowser at the same time. Each web browser requires the same cookie, set using InternetSetCookie. I used InternetSetCookie before I start navigating in each control. If one AxWebBrowser control is navigating, another control is not able to recognise the cookie.

Is this a known feature of the control Is there any way to get around it Thanks and Best Regards Thanks for your reply.

• .NET Development remote debugging problem

  I'm having some difficulties debugging a web service from a local winform app to a remote development server. I have the remote debugging monitor program running on the remote machine, and it is picking up the attempts to connect in the log. So I know that the code is calling the remote machine and connecting to the web service, it just won't allow me to debug the service. I read up on some of this, and I've seen that they suggest putting the App_code directory in the same directory with the web service. Whenever I copy the App_code folder over to the web service directory, I get an error stating that it is expecting "text/html" instead of "text/xml". The service is a database service that adds an error record int ...Show All
