• Windows Forms Hyperlink as a treenode?

  Is it possible to have a tree sub-node as a hyperlink, or at least to make the treenode behave like one (change the cursor to a hand etc). You can set the child nodes forecolor to Blue to represent a hyperlink, then in the child nodes OnHover event you can change the mouse cursor to the hand, and in the OnLeave event change it back to the normal pointer. Then just implement the click event to do what you want. ...Show All

• Visual C# Interfaces and Abstract Classes

  Hi, I am hoping someone can explain this to me. Lets say I have an abstract class called Employee, from Employee, the following classes are inherited, Manager and Cleaner Can someone explain to me how to incorporate an Interface for this scenario so my application can tell which type of object "Manager or Cleaner" its dealing with Thanks As Indian Ocean Said I also agree with him that you do not need the use of Interfaces here. Abstract classes will do the pretty job. And then when you need to check the type of the object that an Abstract class's object originally holds then the better choice is to use "as" keyword if you want to do processng on that type otherwise "is" w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE, Vista RC2, Caspol, Oh My

  Hello, I've been playing with my VSTO 2005 SE Outlook addin under Vista RC2 using Office 2007 B2TR and the VSTO 2005 SE beta loader (I also run around a lot with scissors) My first issue has been with the installer. I get a 'Error: 2869' that requires my users to go and either turn off UAC (can you imagine!) or run the MSI with 'Run as Administrator'. Obviously I don't like this and would feel bad for lots of good reasons. What seems to fail is some custom action [RunInstaller] code that allocates the .NET Security Policy around my wee Add-in assembly. This code seems to work fine under XP before. I had a look at how the VSTO Team recommends doing it and saw the tutorial/examples of SetSecurity/CaspolSecurityPolicyCreator. I ...Show All

• Visual C# List/ArrayList to Type[] array reference

  Hi, First off I'm a c++ convert and am liking C# so far. I am currently using a List<Matrix> and am hoping there's an approach that will let me convert it to a Matrix[] without doing a deep copy. The only shallow function I can find in List or ArrayList (either will work for me) is GetRange but that still returns a List/ArrayList. Is there a way to get at the memory inside the object As you can see below, every iteration, I have to copy a batch into a static array. I'm just hoping for a better way to do this. Seems pretty basic to me to get the array reference inside a Collection object yet I can't seem to figure it out. Matrix[] marr = new Matrix[nInstances]; m_matrixList.CopyTo(nOffset, marr, 0, nInstances); effect.Param ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Please help me im new, debugging trouble

  is there any way to create an xbox 360 game out of the template, write the code, develop the game, and then debug it on a pc, and the reason for doing this, is that i dont have the money for a creators club memborship right now, some one help No, if it's a 360 game, you have to run it on the 360. You can however create a PC game and run and debug that just fine using XNA. Typically there is very little work that you have to do to get your XNA PC games running on the 360 when you finally do have the money and the opportunity to play it on the 360. I would recommend develop your potential 360 game on your PC, but every now and then make sure it builds as a 360 game so that you know you haven't used something ...Show All

• .NET Development How to schedule a windows service for every 5 minutes

How to schedule a service I need the code and need to know where the code to be put. Bye. programmatically, you could place a timer in the service, and set the interval to be 5 minutes (timer calculates it's time in milliseconds) and then do your operation. The "operation" will be carried out on the "timer_tick" event, so for every 5 minutes, a tick will be generated. Does this help/give you some guidence ...Show All
