• Visual Studio code and example xml tags

  Has anyone noticed or observed that code and example xml tags seem to work properly when decorating a method, but when the tags are at the class level, none of your sample code seems to appear. Is this an issue that is being worked on Just thought I would pass along what I observed. John Here is a small sample.  Didn't paste in the best but you'll get the idea.  Also, there is no implementation in the class here that I pasted in, but there is in the actual class.  Hope this helps.  If I were to put this same documentation tags on a method of the class then the code sample will work. /// <summary> /// Represents a name - value collection in an enterprise library c ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Studios pages

  I was doing a project and have some pages using VB as the script code and some using C # as script code. Would I be facing any issues in doing so or VS supports this. Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks Hi there, one way you can achieve this is by creating the VB code inside its own workspace, and compile it into a Class Library DLL. You can then import this into your C# Application and invoke th ecode. That is one of the nice things about the .NET Environment. You are able to do quite a few things that you wouldn't have been able to do easily before. All of the code is converted to MSIL, which is then compiled to machine code by the .NET JIT Thanks, John ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get(set) cursor position in my service before logon?

• Visual Basic Dataset Designer Wizard ASP.NET- why is this different?

  I want to create a Data Access Layer for an ASP.NET application. I have used the VB.NET dataset wizard extensively for Windows project. It is a lot convenient - meaning, it allows to select all the tables / views in one shot and it creates all the Data Tables and Table Adapters - in one shot However, ASP.NET's dataset wizard only allows you to add "One" table at a time. Why so Also, let's say, I create a "Dataset1.xsd" using VB.NET [windows project] and then add that as an item in ASP.NET application, will that be same as creating the same using ASP.NET - Meaning, does the Wizard do anything special while creating a new dataset if I did it through an ASP.NET project Vs VB.Net Windows project Check out these fre ...Show All
