I have noticed that the immediate window in VS 2010 behaves differently when debugging a C# project and a VB.NET project, although I haven't been able to find any specific documentation of this difference.
For C# projects, I can simply type in any expression, and it will be evaluated and displayed, i.e.
[Code]...
All other expressions exhibit the same behavior, including simple math such as '1 + 2'. Sometimes the error message is different though, as 1 + 2 results in the error 'Labels that are numbers must be followed by colons.'Is there a way to 'fix' this behavior and make the VB.NET immediate window behave more like the C# one? Having to type a ? in front of every statement can be a pain when using it frequently.
What are the differences between 32 and 64-bit .NET (4) applications?Often 32-bit applications have problems running on 64-bit machines and conversely. I know I can declare an integer as int32 and int64 (certainly int64 on 32-bit systems make problems). Are there other differences between programming an 32 OR 64-bit or a both 32 AND 64-bit compatible application?
Would like to build an application and was wondering why someone would choose one language over another.Also is one language used more for a particular type of programming then another (For example, is VB used more for business or Windows development then for web development ?)
I am currently learning visual basic 5 on my home computer. I was wondering if someone could tell me what the major differences are between Visual basic 5 and the latest/new editions of VB.
I'm writing an in-house intranet application in ASP.NET and VB.NET. My 'customers' are beginner to medium-level users. All of our browsers are IE8 and above, standard.The application works great, except for one thing. The backspace key. When a user types an invalid number into a textbox, a RegularExpressionValidator and ValidatorCalloutExtender fire off and notify the user. Perfect. Except that, when the user closes the popup warning and notices the cursor is still flashing in the textbox, he/she feels it's time to hit the backspace key and delete that pesky field value.
Unfortunately, the browser interprets this action as a desire to go 'back' into the page history. My boss is screaming. His bosses are screaming. I have a headache.So, how can I turn off this behavior? I still need the backspace to eliminate characters in the textbox, but nothing else. Company policy here: Backspace is to delete characters from the screen. Nothing more, nothing less.
We have legacy character codes that we want to store as numbers in a new system. To increase readibility and general understanding in the code for devs making the migration, I want to do Enums like this..
[Code]...
With this setup, the code will be readable (imagine If Record.Status = Status.Open), and yet the values will be stored in the database as small numbers so it will be efficient. However... I am a VB.NET guy, but everybody wants to code in C#, so I need this sort of structure in C#.After Googling, I discovered the the general .NET equivalent of AscW is Convert.ToInt32("C"). When I try to use that statement in an enum, I get the compiler error "Constant Expression Required".
in order for me to get help on me and my programming partners vb6 rpg, I have to upgrade the project to the vb.net platform, and I am worried that the IDE interface that is used to program the vb side of the rpg is different, so I am wanting to ask any of you if there are any significant changes to the IDE or if it is relatively the same as it was in vb6... I am also hoping that someone here can also help me to see what is wrong with my load/save function... I now thought of something to try to see if that is the issue or not, but the code is still vb6 code, the only difference will be that the program will be upgraded to the .net platform, so if that changes anything in the code, then I am not aware of this as of yet, because I am still downloading the visual studios 2010 express iso right now... so I do not know for sure yet what will be changed.
Strange vb.NET application behavior/One application e.g. does some recursive operations against a ftp server as it synchronizes a local directory with a remote directory. When this part is finished, recursively I loop through the local directory to compare each individual file with a hash code table file retrieved from remote to be sure the source file and the destination file are identical. The processing speed to me during the coding was really satisfactory, but all over sudden the all over performance has been reduced by factor 3. So what happened was I closed an application named TeamSpeak. As you can guess it took me a while to figure out what was happening. This behavior is reproducible even with other applications like Outlook or Winamp?To make it short: e.g. TeamSpeak is up and running, my application runs 3 times faster than without TeamSpeak up and running ... same code - no changes !!!
I have a combobox in a Windows form. I set the properties of the combobox as follow:
AutoCompleteMode: Suggest AutoCompleteSource: ListIems DropDownStyle: Simple DataSource: some binding source
Problem when user enter value to the textbox and open the dropdown and filter out the dropdown list. When user mouse click an item in the dropdown list, it will not select the item and paste it to the textbox. User uses the down arrow to navigate to the item and click on the "enter" key and it will not paste the selected item to the textbox. The only way to select an item is using the down arrow key to navigate to an item and then "Tab" away and it will paste the selected item to the textbox.I want to be able to use mouse click or "enter" key to select an item from teh dropdown list.I want to set the DropDownStyle as "Simple" so user can think it is "textbox" and start entering value to it.
Does anyone know how to implement in VB an algorithm for final differences that changes the network (the matrix) during the computation (decrease its dimensions)?
Today I was playing around with Entity Framework and I've read that the generated IL for C# was different than VB.NET for the following code:
[code]...
As it seems the VB.NET version of this code will contact the database every time the code is executed while the C# version will retrieve the entities from the cache when the code is executed multiple times.Why would they make both languages behave in such a different manner?It was my misconception that both languages just differed in syntax and had almost exactly the same generated IL.Are there any more examples where both languages generated such different IL?
Well i want to compare 2 strings (version one and version two) and get the differences in a format that i can convert to html on my own, like you can view how a post was edited here on stack*overflow* or like svn tracks differences between revisions....
It must be full managed code library.
Like this JavaScript but i need to do it on the server-side..
I've heard that the c# garbage collector can be 'more aggressive' than it's vb.net counterpart. Is this true? Are there any other differences in how garbage collection is run in vb.net vs. c#?
i'm using Enumerable.Except to check if a DataTable in memory is in sync with the table in database.
The background is: this DataTable and other frequently used tables are stored in the Cache of a WebApplication. But meanwhile i'm convinced that this is not a good approach because it's a source for nasty errors that are difficult to reproduce/debug.
Therefore i've created a function that checks if database and memory are in sync, otherwise an error-log will be created. This works perfectly. If there is a row in memory that is not in database, this row will be shown below "Difference in database", the same applies in reverse. But if rows exist in both datasources(the PK idRMA) and some values differ, the log will contain this row in two versions(below "Difference in database" and "Difference in database"). It is not easy to see the differences on the first sight.
Q: Is it possible to select only the properties that caused Except to think that first sequence is not in second?
This is the the complete function(the first lines are relevant):
Public Shared Sub CheckRmaMemoryInSyncWithDB() Dim inSyncText As String Dim color As Drawing.Color
My program shows some browser. From a browser user can open maximized MDI form with some report. When user is closing the report, first MDI form with browser is became maximized.
2 forms have same MDI parent. Can I change this behavior to leave my first browser form without maximizing after second report closed?
I have an issue where a ComboBox control will change it's Text value when it is resized. Here is some sample code that I worked up:
Option Explicit On Option Strict On Public Class FMain Private Sub FMain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load uxComboBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown
I am using asp.net and the .net framework 2.0. I may be able to upgrade the servers to 3.5 if the solution is compelling enough. Here is the problem. I have two pieces of xml. I'll refer to piece number 1 as the template and piece number 2 as the actual. Here's a basic example:
I currently have a silverlight application which has silverlight class library. The silverlight class library has a WCF service reference which works as expected for small data. However we have come across a problem which is caused by the default value of maxItemsInObjectGraph. We have tested it with an increased value (called from vb app set in behaviour) and it works however we are unsure how to set the value of maxItemsInObjectGraph when it is in a silverlight class library (as it is only defined in the clientconfig file and no services are added to the client). I have seen posts about adding it to the web.config but this only seems to apply when the service is called directly by the app not by a class library?
I am primarily a C# developer; however, I am currently working on a project for a client who preferred VB.net. I have managed to switch over fairly well, with one frustrating exception. When editing a C# file in Visual Studio pressing enter will select an item out of the IntelliSense window and keep the cursor at the end of the selected statement.
However, when editing a VB file, pressing enter selects the item out the IntelliSense popup AND moves the cursor to the next line. I realize that this is a small thing, but it drives me crazy, because it makes it really hard to switch between C# and VB projects.
I have searched for everything I can think of in Google and found nothing. Does anyone know of a way to change the IntelliSense selection behavior?
I have a userControl (.NET 1.1 Winforms) that has a clickable picturebox as a button.Since I have lots of those usercontrols visible at the same time, I thought It could be nice if I just display the picture box when the mouse is over the usercontrol and hide it otherwise.To do so, I handle the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events of the UserControl, hiding and displaying the picturebox. That works fine.But when the clickable picturebox is visible I'm not longer able to click it (the hand cursor is gone and the click event is not firing).After some test, I realize that if comment all content on the MouseLeave handler that do something with my picturebox... this way the picturebox is clickable.I'm not using the correct event?
Here is the code...
Private Sub NodoEstablo_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.pictAdd.Visible = False End Sub
[code]....
Update:If I resize the picturebox on MouseLeave (just to do something) it works.So far, changing Visible and Location in the MouseLeave prevent me for click the picturebox.
I have 2 text boxes and I load a text file in to each box, the files contents are "almost" exactly the same but not 100%. how would i compare the 2 against eachother and output the difference in percentage? I've made a program once before it was pretty cool it did all these things and it was in VB.Net i just cant remember how i did it.. i do know i counted how many of the sames words exist but i cant remember what else i did.
I have an unbound datagridview control whose first column is a combo box This contains a list of part numbers.I am having some problems with the datagridview automtically adding a new row when the combo box item is selected.If I select an entry from the data by typing in part number in full in the first row and pressing tab or enter then I get a new row created. No problems.However, if I then START typing a part number in the second row AND click on the part number in the list that is suggested then I DO NOT get a new row.However, if, on the first row I START typing a part number AND click on the part number in the list that is suggested I DO get a new row.
My code is as follows:
Private Sub dgOrders_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles dgOrders.EditingControlShowing Try
In VB, when we adding a new references - in my case web references -, it simply type namespace followed by the class name to make a new object.For example:
Dim obj As NamespaceName.ClassName = New NamespaceName.ClassName
Then I apply this concept in C#. So my code will be:
NamespaceName.ClassName obj = new NamespaceName.ClassName
...and it doesn't work.Actually, is there any difference about Importing Namespace between those two?And also can you give me a little explanation about Project-Wide Default Namespace Imports in VB?
UPDATE:My point is why "In C#, When I've typed NamespaceName, the ClassName was not listed in the Intellisense?".However, it did well in VB, do I have to import something?Maybe, there is something to do with the term "Project-Wide Default Namespace Imports". (CMIIW)
What are the differences between a HashSet(of T) and a list(of T). I recently discovered HashSet and it seems to be substantially faster and uses much less memory than a list, so why use a list at all ?
