This works:
Dim zArray(5) As String
zArray = (From zS As String In zArray Select "HelloWorld").ToArray
This doesn't:Dim zArray(5) As String = (From zS As String In zArray Select "HelloWorld").ToArray
It seems inconsistent to me, though I may be missing a subtle difference instead of it being an IDE inconsistency?
I have an application which was developed in vs2005 with numerous forms which use the combobox for selecting from lists of items. The usual setup is as follows:
Combo.Datsource = BusinessObject
Combo.DropdownStyle = DropDownList
Combo.AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend
Combo.AutoCompleteSource = ListItems
However, compiled under vs2005 when tabbing to a combo and typing a number of characters the combo would highlight the first matching item and on pressing tab, would select it and the user would move to next field.
With vs2008 the same item might be highlighted but pressing tab doesn't select the item unless its the only item matching the first character. The only way of selecting the item highlighted from the suggestappend is to press enter prior to the tab key.
I also noticed some users experiencing the same behaviour when the app was compiled with vs2005 on some PC's but not others as if it had something to do with the PC config.
Has anyone any ideas how to get around this as it can lead to errors in data capture.
Kind regards.
Does anyone know if there's any particular reason that VB.NET construct syntax isn't consistent? For example:
If End If Select End Select You'd assume it would be for... end for, while... end while ... but instead we have:While.Wend For Next This has mildly frustrated me for a while, and I just got to wondering whether there was any conscious decision behind it. Or was it just an initial not-so-well-thought-out design decision that can no longer be changed because of backwards compatibility problems?
Why might my GetRawData declared function return a correct value when called from my VB.NET application, but return zero when called from my ASP.NET page?The code is exactly the same except for class type difference (Form / Page) and calling event handler (Form1_Load, Page_Load).

Look at this simple bug :
<textblock (...) Width="0" />
Working great, the textBox appears to be 0px thin. Works with value like, 2, 3, 4...
Now that is NOT working :
<TextBlock (...) />
<TextBlock.Width>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource WidthConverter}">

Why can i set zero value to TextBox.Width in xaml and not in code behind ? By using a converter, when returing 0, the TextBlock.Width is not set to 0 but to "auto", i can read the text

View 2 RepliesI've got a contextmenustrip with a couple levels of dropdowns (submenu items). Let's say I right-click the form and show the "main" set of items, one of which is "Food". If I move the mouse over Food (not click it), a dropdown (submenu) for Food should open, which it does. But then, say, one of the food items is "Fruit". When I move the mouse over "Fruit", the Fruit submenu should open automatically - but it does not always - sometimes it does, but sometimes I have to click it to open it. Furthermore, once "Fruit" has been clicked once to open, any other dropdown items (let's say we had "Veggies" and "Meat") will automatically open as I expect; and then "Fruit" will behave as expected also.
Any ideas on how to correct this inconsistent behavior? (i.e. all sets of dropdowns associated with a contextmenuitem should open when the mouse is moved over it, a click should not be required)
OVERVIEW:I am currently having an issue loading a large number of rows into Excel. I say large because the attached code in fact correctly inserts 50 rows into an Excel worksheet, however, as the number of rows increases to no more than500 rows the data is not inserted into the worksheet. No error is thrown by .net and the .xls filesize actually shows an increase in size, however, when the file is opened there are no rows in the spreadsheet..... Then, when the .xls file is closed the filesize is once again reduced.
Again, the code works for a small number of rows. Are there any known bugs with the OleDB driver for Excel?ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:I have tried inserting rows to both Excel 2003 and 2007, same issue.I have tried closing the connection after each insert.... performance if horrible and it does not fix the problem.I have wrapped the ExecuteNonQuery in a transaction.... no go....

I'm trying to implement parallel computing using .NET 4 on an asp.net website housed on a clustered server consisting of 6-8 dual core servers. My original script contains two nested For...Next loops iterating through a range of values in a grid of x by y.
For each point in the grid (x,y), we should perform a computationally intensive subroutine called MakePartsMatrix which accesses a SQL server database with dataviews and manipulating the local variable "unfilled" which is passed in ByRef.
Without the parallel implementation, the nested for loops work fine except its slow -- taking about 60 seconds to run.
When I parallelize the outer For loop, the script is about 50% faster, completing its calculations in 20-30 seconds which is great. However, I have noticed that the parallelization causes random parts of the grid to be either completely skipped (eg, grid (1,5) is never evaluated by the MakePartsMatrix), or some points in the grid (eg, x=10 & y=5) to be evaluated multiple times, resulting in duplicate work.
When I parallelized only the inner For Loop, the script execution time also improves by 50%, but now the last row (y-1) in the grid is skipped entirely and the results in "unfilled" are completely wrong.
When I comment out the "MakePartsMatrix" subroutine, the parallellization (either inner or outer For loops) does appear to visit every point of the grid (x,y) once, and only once.

One of my unit tests seems to randomly pass or fail when I run it. The only thing that makes sense to me for why this is happening is if the data in the database is getting into a different state each time the test is ran, but I use transactions to rollback the database in each test - unless it's not working right. Here's my base unit test class and the unit test class that's having the problem. Can you see anything I might be missing or what else I should look for?
This happens with TestDriven.Net and the Visual Studio Unit Test Framework.

I never used POCOs, so I have the habit of putting a lot of logic in my business object classes. Hence I believe I'm missing some important concepts about class-layouts, and the thought-process that is needed here.
Say if you have two classes; Company and Employee. Could you give some examples of what classes you would build "around" these that take care of various behavior/validation etc.? (Like some class names, and a brief description of their purpose)
i am working on an application which calls the COM component of a partner's application.Ours is .Net, theirs isn't. I don't know much about COM; I know that the component we're calling is late-bound i.e.obj As Object = CreateObject("THIRDPARTY.ThirdPartyObject")We then call a method on this COM object (Option Strict Off in the head of the VB file):obj.AMethod(ByVal Arg1 As Integer, ByVal Arg2 As Integer, ByVal Arg3 as Boolean)I am a bit nonplussed that even though this call works, this overload doesn't exist in the COM interop .dll that is created if I instead add a reference to the COM server using Add Reference. The only available call to this method that it says is available is AMethod().

View 1 RepliesI'm seeing a strange problem with the labels on the X axis of my charts. I've setup two chart areas and aligned them (which displays fine) and the user can manipulate the chart by selecting different date resolutions (Year, Month, Day, Week, Hour) and different time periods.
The issue I'm seeing is that if a user selects say Months as the date resolution the X axis label display is inconsistent. If a fairly broad range for the dates is selected the X axis displays absolutely fine but as the date range narrows the X axis starts to duplicate labels ( please see the attached images). The second Image had a date range of 1st of May to 1st of August and as you can see the labels are duplicated. This is my first go with the chart control so I could be missing something basic. [Code]

In VB6 I load a recordset containg all of the records (6 fields per record)in a table into an XArray and then manipulate the records in the array and then write them back to the original table. The array issorted by the first field (1 to maybe 8000 or more) I need to find records in the array by an ID field and then move them (because of some external criteria that happens many times) from say number 400 to number 375. Then all of the other records between 375 and 399 were renumbered up 1 to fill the gaps left by the move.
The XArray worked well as it could find and also move to a next record easily to facilitate the revisions to each record quickly. Everything is done in VB6 in code and nothing visual needs to be shown to the user until say 2000 of these external changes are complete. What is the best, most efficient way to do this in the .Net framework in VB2010. Datasets, Dataviews. tableadapters, arrays. enums ?
My ASP.NET (VB.NET) application uses SiteMaps to display a navigation menu on the top of each page. In the code behind of some of the pages, I am dynamically amending the URLs of the SiteMaps nodes (to add parameters to the end of the URL) e.g. say I have somePage.aspx.vb and anotherPage.aspx.vb and they both contain the following:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
AddHandler SiteMap.SiteMapResolve, AddressOf Me.ExpandForumPaths
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Setup()
[code]....
My problem is this, if I am in the code behind of somePage.aspx and I do a Response.Redirect("~/anotherPage.aspx") - then, when anotherPage.aspx.vb is being loaded, it is the ExpandFormumPaths method of somePage.aspx.vb that is hit, not that of anotherPage.aspx.vb.
My understanding is that a Response.Redirect tells the browser to do a new request to the supplied URL - I don't know why it's hitting the method belonging to the previous page.
I've tried amending the method names (i.e. not having the node processing method called ExpandFormumPaths in all classes) but I still encountered the same issue.
When I go straight to the URL of anotherPage.aspx the correct method is hit, it is only when I am using Response.Redirect that this happens.
Basically, IHTMLElement5 and IHTMLElement6 are all extended interfaces for the main IHTMLElement as per the versioning rules below:
IHTMLElement IE4
IHTMLElement2 IE5
IHTMLElement3 IE5.5
IHTMLElement4 IE6
IHTMLElement5 IE8
IHTMLElement6 IE9
Of course, each new extended interface has the old members in it + its own new members, properties etc. However, some of the members (for instance, .getAttribute) are the same name but have been updated. So, my question is, if I use (say) IHTMLElement6 to declare my HTML Element and run the code on a client that only has IE6 installed, when will my object just fail and remain as Null/Nothing when I set it, or is mshtml.dll smart enough to realize whats going on and defaults to IHTMLElement4 (actually, IHTMLElement) behaviour?
Just to clarify the last statement in brackets, .getAttribute was added in IHTMLElement and updated in IHTMLElement5 and IHTMLElement6 - so, if someone has IE6 installed only, then I would expect the behaviour to default/revert back to IHTMLElement (not IHTMLElement4) - and if it does not do that, then I expect my code to crash. Basically, my question is, what will happen exactly?
Summary of Question (read if you find necessary, just a reclarification for those who need it):Basically, I want to be able to declare something as IHTMLElement6 so I can make use of the updated methods which have the same name between IHTMLElement and IHTMLElement6 (such as .getAttribute). This way, on IE9 users IHTMLElement6's version of .getAttribute will be taken advantage of, while at the same time IHTMLElement's version of .getAttribute will still work for (say) IE6 users without breaking my code - this is the point where my question comes in, when using a IHTMLElement6 object, even though it is an IE9 interface, will IHTMLElement's (IE4 interface) version of .getAttribute kick in/work or will I get a null reference exception or other runtime error?

Why is VS asking me to call the namespace twice if I use the "Imports" directive?I'm sure this has got something to do with VS2010 and the 4.0 framework.
If VB5/6 could read Unicode I would remain in it for ever as it is to me the most efficient way of getting all things done, and I have likely done more in VB classic than most care to try on VS.NET Now, in the midst of trying this system I keep a red light lit in the back of my head, on constant alert due to the GC part of .NET.
No matter what I read, I just get more precarious about the implementation of a Garbage Collector in VB, as this means I cannot absolutely say that a username and password is cleared from memory when I want to.In spite of tallking directly to Mr Bjarne Stostrup (the inventor of C++) and reading two ebooks of a few hundred pages each over the past night, some things still boggles the mind.
Such as...Why in heavens name does the MSDN library opener say "Help is updating to reflect your recent changes. This may take several minutes"Well its not so bad if it happend once, as on the installation of the MSDN disks, but when it happens EVERY TIME that I open MSDN or VS2008, that makes me wonder.Especially when I just closed VS2008 and opened it again five minutes later.
The latest "update" according to the MSDN opener took not only a few minutes but approx. 20 minutes, although I did nothing to change anything since the last time I opened it.Is there any way to disable this constant updating of nothing?
Once more back to the GC issues.Does anyone have a simple to use class, so that at my will I can issue a simple call to a method to clear anything and everything unused from the GC box, short of having to close my application and reopening it?I mean, would it be to much to ask for a simple command that allows us to do this, without having to "imrpove on the MS developers years of efforts" by our own non standardized methods?
What I would like to see implemented in VS.NET would be a simple thing for the boys and girls at Mr. Gates command, to add the following
....GC.ClearAllDead
When called, it guarantees to clean the GC, empty all unused addresses and simply Dispose and Finalize everything at our will, and not leave this sometimes time and security critical part to the will of a users sometimes slow and willful PC.
Everyone knows how easy it is, and common to date that you load a webpage with some flash or adobe files and your computer starts sounding like a spaceship ready for relaunch.Quite obviously, something is running up your CPU and memory usage, and doing things you did not ask it to do when going to read your blog pages for example.Often I have experienced this, and still do on a daily basis, and I sweat every time I think of the possibility any application starts accessing memory addresses to scope up whatever junk is left in memory.Coupled with Garbage Collection potentially leaving items in memory addresses until it wants to free this itself.Now what if someone sneaks a trojan of a new variant onto your system, and this constantly sniffs your RAM for new funny and useful code.
there went your UID/PWD combo to both online banking, blogs, GMAIL, hotmail and all other nice things you use. Consider yourself facebooked in a nasty way, and then tell me GC is all good and poses no risks.So, the addition of the simple GC cleaner above would have been, and should have been, in my oppinion, the first and foremost update to the .NET package before it even was released, thus making it easier and faster for new and old programmers to avoid this cause for (perhaps to be considered as) paranoia.With my background from security and time critical related work, I would still prefer to patch the holes before they become an issue, and I will continue to chose being paranoid and safe rather than leaving this potential hole open.
I have a VB6 application which i need to convert to VB.NET 3.5. The application uses a lot of Business objects libraries and some external libraries.I would like to know if these libraries would behave the same way when i move from VB to VB.net?Are there chances that things would break?
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with form instantiation. This is what I want to achieve: I want to create forms with a toolstrip attached to them right from the moment these forms are instantiated. I have several ideas:
1. making custom Form Control
2. modifying the new method for forms
I'd like to focus on idea 2. I want to know if there's a way to alter the in-built New() method, so whenever the compiler instantiates a form, somehow when the constructor(New method) of each form is invoked, the compiler adds a toolstrip to the form.
I have a Visual Studio 2008 solution with project A referencing project B as a project reference. Project B references System.Data.Linq, but project A does not. Everything compiles and runs fine. I like this arrangement because avoiding a reference to System.Data.Linq in project A ensures that it uses project B methods instead of directly accessign System.Data.Linq methods, which I want to avoid.
