• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to retrieve the title property from a word document(template) in c#

• Community Chat Password Stars

  Windows Forms apps make it too easy to create something without writing much (if any) code. For example, to have a user enter a password displaying only asterisks is simply done by changing the textbox property. But isn't it more satisfying to actually program your own code for it, as in this Console application Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim ch, word As String word = "" Console.Write( "Enter your password: " ) Do ch = Console.ReadKey( True ).KeyChar 'get character without display If ch = Chr(8) And word.Length > 0 Then 'backspace to delete Console.CursorLeft = Console.CursorLeft - 1 'move back one column Console.Write( " " ) 'erase last star Co ...Show All

• .NET Development loading assembly for serialization

  Hello, I have tried in several ways to deserialize a file serialized in another application. I tried to use a custom SerializationBinder to overwrite the assembly name, but this did not work ("cannot find assembly XXX..."), which is strange but is not a question for this forum. I then tried to load the complete assembly beforehand using the Reflection namespace.

  Hello, I'm sure I'm in the wrong forum with this thread, but that's only because I want some attention of you 'VB' people at the moment. I've been 'studying' the VC++ forum here, and I noticed that the average 'top poster' in that forum posts about 50 posts a month.. In this forum, I see 'top posters' with about 120 posts a month Now I'm not sure about this one, but aren't here some coders who also know some VC++ that could sometimes have a look at the VC++ forum to see if they can't help I'm asking this because I posted a question a couple of days before, and whereas I would have had about 10 reply's in this forum, I don't even have 1 in the VC++ forum..
