• Visual Basic := Operator Help

  This might seem kind of stupid, but what does the := operator do Named arguments come in especially handy if you have optional parameters, rather than having to put in values or lots of commas to denote the different fields, you can simply name your parameters and call them using the := operator. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions substring exception

  Why do I get an exception with my laptop but not on my main computer when debugging a program with Substring( i, 1) where i is int i = 3, The substring is in a while loop using compare to look for a ",". It gives an exception saying error in msorlib.dll, Substring length must be an int32. That doesn't sound like an exception message that SubString() can throw, please quote the exception message exactly as worded. The most typical exception is ArgumentOutOfRange, you'd get that with i=3 when the string is three or less characters long. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Minimizing Process Start Up - CPU usage and Start UP Time

  We have a one process which is started multiple times from a .NET Visual Basic console "exe" (i.e. many of these can be running simultaneously). Each process does its job and exits. We are continually starting these processes using the process object. Is there any way to minimize the "start up" time and CPU usage each time a process is started Best Regards - Dan Golden Is the process being started a .Net application - if so then you may be able to Ngen it to save a little bit of time.

• Windows Forms ending the application

  Hi, What is the proper way to end the application Me.Close will close the form you are on, but the previous one is still underneath. Do you have them perform me.Close form each form until you get back to the logon form Probably not. I could not see a me.Quit.

Thanks Steve Hi, If you can't/won't let user close the application for herself, you can try calling Application .Exit(); Andrej ...Show All

• Windows Forms Outputting characters where I want them

  I'm looking for a way to put a character (of a color of my choice) at a certain spot on the screen. It can be a windows app or just the console. I'm new to C# so I'm not sure how this can be done. The only thing I can think of is slapping an array of textboxes on a window in a 20x20 grid, but that seems mighty inefficient (or is c# capable of handling 400+ textbox objects without slowing to a crawl ) If you've ever played Moria or Angband, you know exactly what I'm trying to accomplish here, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! Extending post of Maksim Libenson you need 2 loops one for Horizontal Oreitentaion and one for Vertical, You need to change the points in regard to fill the whole For ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TabItem IsSelected background property

  Hello, I am using the June CTP and here is my problem: I have a TabControl with some tabItems that I am trying to style. I have my style working and it looks great. The only problem is when a tab is selected it changes its background and forground. I am using the trigger property to catch when the tabItem is selected and am able to change the foreground color (im my case it changes to red). However, the background does not change (even with a simple color of black instead of my gradient). Am I setting the wrong property (background) or is this not implemented in the tab control yet <Style x:Key="tabItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="TabItem.IsSele ...Show All

• .NET Development Save date.now in SQL by INSERT

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Closing WCF ServiceHost object ?

  Hi, I recently ran into a strange problem that I cannot find anything written about yet. When I run a sample console program with one simple WCF service and call the Close() method on the ServiceHost the following happens - if a WCF client has started a session by connecting and made at least one call to the service): 1) The ServiceHost method Close() gets stuck for about 10 seconds (! ) and then the call returns without any exceptions throw (and the service finally exits nicely). 2) On the client side - if a call to the contract is made while the server side is stuck in the Close method - I immediately get an unexpected System.ServiceModel.FaultException with the description: "The server was unable to process the request due ...Show All
