• Visual C# "Smalltalk’s object-based hierarchy does not work so well".Also c#??

  I read a book , "Thinking in C++".At pg:694( Introduction to templates) he writes: "The Smalltalk solution. Smalltalk (and Java, following its example) took a simple and straightforward approach: You want to reuse code, so use inheritance. To implement this, each container class holds items of the generic base class Object (similar to the example at the end of Chapter 15). But because the library in Smalltalk is of such fundamental importance, you don’t ever create a class from scratch. Instead, you must always inherit it from an existing class. You find a class as close as possible to the one you want, inherit from it, and make a few changes. Obviously, this is a benefit because it minimizes your effort (and explains why yo ...Show All

  I'd like to use VE to validate addresses in database without UI. Is it possible VE is geared more towards the mapping of positions in a web page.  You might find that using a geocoding service would be more appropriate.  Products MapPoint, MapInfo Envinsa, Maporama, and ESRI ArcWeb Web Services all provide a geocoding web service interface. ...Show All

• Visual C# What is the default Mail Host in System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send

  Hi, I was previously using System.Web.Mail to send an email. It worked great. Now I have to use System.Net.Mail due to some additional functionality requirements. I am having to specify the mail server now, whereas previously I didn't. I want to specify the mail server in the same way as System.Web.Mail. I can't figure out what is the default Mail Server name.

• Visual C# Overriding equals

  Hello, I was reading “Guidelines for Overloading Equals() and Operator == (C# Programming Guide) <http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173147.aspx>”. As a general rule should the derived.equals(base) yield true I guess if derived IS-A base then it should yield true According to their example the answer is yes. Thanks Houman Hi, Houman Actually, it is wrong logically . One thing can be cast into another one does not mean the thing is equal to the other. Especially, equal should always be each other like I have described above: "x.equals(y) must be same as y.equals(x)". A derived class instance can be cast into the base class, that is because the type is compati ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Compact Framework 2.0 Install Problems

  I have an iPAQ 2795 with Windows Mobile 5.0. ActiveSync has never worked for me, that is a separate issue. For this reason I install all programs on it by first obtaining a .CAB. I put this .cab into a .zip and post it to my local website. From there I use pocked ie to download. I exctract this zip on my mobile device with functionality built into the Resco File Explorer. I have verified that Resco is extracting files without issue from a .zip. With the .cab file on the mobile device I simply double click and the install starts. Everytime I do this I see the following message: "Installation of CF.cab was unsuccessful". CF.cab is file "NETCFv2.wce5.x86.cab" simply renamed. Using cgacutil.exe I can see that Comp ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How do I write this!!

  I have data in a list listed like this: a 12345 name address ect. b 12345 name address ect. c 12345 name address ect. d 12345 name address ect. e 12345 name address ect. I need to move the data parallel. B at the and of a, c at the end of b ect. Only if the account numbers are the same! But b always has to start in q and c always has to start in U ect. Because not every account will have all a through e. Some will only have a,b,c,e ect. But c always has to start in a certain cell. And when the cells are moved the letter and account number has to be removed except for the very first letter which would be A. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not very literate when it comes to vba. Thanks Neal. ...Show All

• SQL Server Template Explorer - Changing file location / Removing Defaults

I don't really care about the ones already in there, but have hundreds of my own that i would rather be displayed. I don't like searching through the 25 different folders that microsoft already has out there cluttering up my own folder structure, and would like to see them disapear, however after deleting them, they just come back next time i open up management studio.

• .NET Development C# + Access Database Problem

  Here's my issue. I have a program in C# that creates and track help desk PC tickets.It saves and loads data from an Access database that I created. Everything works great, but I have recently decided that I need to add some more things like the ability to input the date that the customer was called on the form as well. So what I am trying to do is create another couple of colums in the already exsiting database using Access, then create textboxes on the form and have them link to the new colums in the database. The best I have got so far is to create a new database, but I don't want to have to retool the entire form all over again if I can help it. So, my question is, simply put, is there any way to update a Access database already in use ...Show All
