Mark Native Methods As Deprecated / Obsolete?
Aug 22, 2011
In .NET you can mark certain methods as obsolete so that developers are alerted when they attempt to use the deprecated method.
<Obsolete("Do not call this method.")> Private Sub FormerMethod()
The thing is you can only do this within classes you control. What do you do when you want your developers to avoid using certain methods on classes provided natively in .NET or by a vendor?
For example, what if you want your developer to prefer some custom extension method on DataTable rather than Select. I'd hate to have to define a custom version of the DataTable class if only to deprecate Select. That would leave us having to police whether or not the custom table was being used.

I have created a few WebRequest extension methods that support cancelling. Is it possible to mark related .net framework methods as Obsolete. That will allow other developers to get warning and encourage them to use a new extension methods.

I have upgraded a visual basic 2005 project to visual basic 2010 (.net framework 4.0). I want to list all obsolete functions used in this project in order to change it with newer ones. How can I treat obsolete functions warnings as errors in visual basic 2010 ms-build?

Deprecated types are not supported as output parameters. Use current large object types instead. [code]

I am not sure how clear my question is by the title, but I am trying to make Class methods instead of Instance methods in Visual Basic that way I don't have to waste memory and code creating temporary objects to execute methods that don't need instance variables.
I am not sure if you can do that in VB but I know you can in Objective-C by using either a "+" or "-" sign in front of the method declaration. And in C++ (at least I think, I can't remember) you put the static keyword or const keyword in front of the function.How would I do this in VB if it is possible? Or should I just make a separate set of functions that are not members of a class?

I have VB.Net code in VS 2008 using an obsolete method, and would like to suppress the warning.Unfortunately, following the recommendation is not a good solution, because it requires using a different class, which works differently, in important ways.I'm trying to suppress the warning using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage, but I don't know what to write as the parameters for the attribute, and can't find any relevant reference.
I should also say that, right-clicking on the error in the error list I don't have any 'Suppress Message' option.

I have VB 2008 and am trying to find a multithreading example that won't show up as obsolete. (seems like most examples are releavant for vb 2005) I found an example on the back ground worker. Is this true multi threading?I am working on a project that needs to go out and get data often but still allow the user to interact with the menus and graphics.
I'd like to put the data grabbing on a timer on a seperate thread. how to make a timer and related data grabbing a seperate thread so I don't have "starts/stops" in the gui?

Is it possible to prevent compiler warning caused by a static factory method returning an instance of an obsolete class? For example if an instance of an obsolete class (Foo) is created through a static method (Create) a compiler warning is caused by the factory method.
<Obsolete()> _
Public Class Foo
Public Shared Function Create() As Foo
[code]....
In C# the warning could be suppressed using "#pragma warning..." but I don't think that this exists within VB.Net. Migrating to C# is not an option due to business requirements.

I'm using Microsoft.Reporting.Webforms version 10 in order to parse an RDLC file and produce a PDF. The RDLC is a simple invoice with a couple of embedded expressions. When I run the application I get an exception that a call to the obsoleted SecurityAction.RequestMinimum has been made when compiling the expressions. Is this a known bug or something I can remedy?

I have an external database that is feeding information to me. One saves their data as native GUID format and my other data source supplies standard .NET GUID format string. Is there a tidy way to convert from Native GUID to GUID Structure? Also is there any validation bit to determine if a provided value is a Native GUID or not? I can't seem to find any if there is one. The difference is as follows:
typedef struct _GUID
{
DWORD Data1;
WORD Data2;
WORD Data3;
BYTE Data4[8];
} GUID;
Data1, Data2 and Data3 get their byte order reversed but Data4 remains the same, see [url] for more info.

I have a vb6 project in which I use a dll library to do some tasks. For that, I add a module which declares all functions of that library such as:Declare Function myFunction Lib "abcdapi.dll" (ByVal hVar1 As Long, ByVal hVar2 As Long) As Long When I call this function (and many other similar) I'm able to do the work and correct Long pointer is returned. But when I try to do the same thing by VB.net (by importing the same library using dllimport and calling the same function), I get no result. although it does return some pointer but that doesn't produce correct result.

I need to convert a windows service written in .NET into native code, independent of the .NET framework. I've looked into using NGen to do this, but couldn't figure out how to use it. Essentially, I would like to take my windows service, run it through *insert app here* and have it bundle together all of the dependent dlls from the framework into their native code equivalents, so the service is installable without the framework.
