Reasons For Inconsistent .NET Syntax?
Jul 8, 2010
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?

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.

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).
Note: In the actual code, #DLL# and #RAWDATAFILE# are both absolute filenames to my DLL and raw data file respectively.
Note: The DLL file was not created by Visual Studio.

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}">
[CODE]..................
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

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'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'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]

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.

I get this error if I follow these steps: Change property Y of an object (an associated entity property)
Attempt to submit changes At this point the value of Y and the value of X (the underlying key) are not in agreement -- LINQ to SQL apparently doesn't synchronize these until GetChangeSet is called.An expected error occurs due to some business logic or database level constraint during the update operation.At this point the value of Y is in agreement with X because GetChangeSet was called.Change the value of Y to Nothing (aka null).Call GetChangeSet.
The error occurs on the last step because the value of X and the original value of X (returned by GetOriginalEntityState) are different, and the new value does not agree with Y? Is that why? Is this a bug in LINQ to SQL. Must be because I don't see the same behavior if I change Y to another (non-null) value instead during step 5. What's the right way around this? I can see a few ways:
Discard the DataContext when an error occurs and leave the UI as-is. I don't like this because then optimistic cocurrency change conflicts cannot be detected. The new context doesn't have the original values in it that were populated at the same time the UI was populated, so if the UI has any stale values in it, they will cause data in the database to revert.Refresh the datacontext (OverwriteCurrent) and leave the UI as-is. I don't like this for the same reason as #1.Refresh the datacontext (OverwriteCurrent) and re-populate the UI. I don't like this because then the error message just presented to the user does not show the user the error they made and allow them to correct it. It also discards all the other changes the user may have made.When the error occurs, explicitly retrieve the key for Y that corresponds to the original value of X and reset Y, then call GetChangeSet to re-synchronize X (X is read-only or private so I can't reset it directly). This seems to work, but seems like a hack, and may require lots of code for other similar errors.
