    - Cast to instance of type Is it possible to do the following private static void Main(object toCast) { Type toCastTo = GetCustomType(); //now I would like to be able to cast the object toCast to be an instance of MyCustomClass //assume MyCustomClass could be any class and the only way this function knows about it is //via GetCustomType() } private Type GetCustomType() { return typeof(MyCustomClass); } Tag: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior Visual C#

    - copying a windows folder structure to sql server The user will enter a folder path, then I will create a master site for my documents, then for each sub folder in the provided path, i will create a site inside my master site. Then each subfolder again will be associated to a document library in the site. Then in the document library I will need to upload all the files of the subfolder. that will be done for each subfolder. So the structure will be like this: provided explorer root folder rootFolder path will be associated to a master site masterSite Each FolderN of the rootFolder will be associated to a siteN of the masterSite. Then in FolderN for example there will other subfolders subfolder1, subfolder2, subfolder3.... subfolderM each subfolder in the level subfolderM will be mapped to its corresponding document library docLibM. Finally we will upload all the files in each subfolder subfolderM to its corresponding document library docLibM. One more thing, the site structure in sharepoint will be created dynamically according to the input folder, since my script is supposed to create the site structure as well. No files are located in the levels rootFolder or FolderN . all the files are located in the level subfolderM . What do you think Thank you Tag: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior Visual C#

    - Completely dynamic method invocation I don't know how yo answer but we are going in the opposite direction of what you are thinking with the innovation of Generics in .Net 2.0 + because there is a cost related to Runtime object casting which can better be done ar compile time so your code must be more optimised at run time. What java people has implemented is seemed like a flexibility in language but there is a cost of boxing/unboxing then at runtime besides running a method its going to find that method . Adding an overhead to the code execution. Second, It'll also lead to us to error prone code, Developer thinks that AClass has a function AFunction because it compiles but but at runtime a MethodNotFoundException is thrown and developer needs to change all code in the pplication he has written so far . If you really want to do it that way I would recomend using Abstract classes, Just inherit all you classes from one base abstract class and pass this where you want. Here public abstract class SomeClass { public abstract intAdd(int i, int j); public abstract intSubtract(int i, int j); } not Derived classses: public class SomeClass1 { public override int Add(int i, int j) { return i + j; } public override int Subtract(int i, int j) { return i - j; } } and other one public class SomeClass1 { public override int Add(int i, int j) { throw new NotImplementedException("This method is not implemented"); } public override int Subtratct(int i, int j) { throw new NotImplementedException("This method is not implemented"); // Or create your own MethodNotFoundException by inheriting from Exception class } } I hope you know what to do next.

    - Help on Conditional operator ?: Marcelo is quite right on providing the cast and is required in my sample as well. But an easier way to test for null is to use the Null Coalescing operator ( ). It basically says if my object on the left side is null, use the right which can be thought of as a default. string sDate = null ; object myField; myField = ( object ) sDate DBNull.Value; Console.WriteLine(myField.GetType()); // System.DBNull Tag: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior Visual C#

    - Why Won't My App Run on Windows 2003 Server? I am taking my first stab at writing an application in C#. My App is designed to watch a folder and report any created deleted or modified files. I created a simple form where changes are wrtiiten to a textbox, and concequently to a log file. I used the FileSystemWatcher Object, and wrtie to the text box and log file on the change events. This application runs fine on my XP machine, but fails to even launch on my 2003 server. I tried just a normal form on my 2003 server and it ran fine. Anything that could point me in the right direction would be great. Thanks Tag: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior Visual C#

    - import C# Form as ActiveX in Internet Explorer I am trying import a C# form as a ActiveX control on my webpage. I have followed the following tutorial verbatim here . What happens is it works great at first but then I change the dll, recompile and transfer the dll over to website and then the activex control will not load. Even if I copy the old dll back, it still does not load. Are there some settings on the compiler that I have to set. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Text encoding mismatch, .NET 1.1, console vs windows app Hi, I spent whole day to resolve my problem and i have failed. Here is some details. I have got two applications. One is typical C# console application (lets call it A) and second one is C# Windows Application (app B). Both written using framework 1.1 I'm using application A in application B by simply creating new process. Also, I'm using standard output redirection to establish communication between app A and B. And here starts my problem. In StandardOutput i get wrong characters, i mean i'm writing to console string (that string contains characters typical for my locale) and when i'm reading that string in app B i get string that lacks of some characters. I noticed that my console application uses encoding IBM852 (CP852) and StandardOutput uses Windows-1250 encoding. It seems that encoding autodetection failed. What can i do to fix that problem Is there any posibility to change Console.Out encoding to Encoding.Default or to obtain CurrentEncoding in StandardOutput that is correct In .NET 2.0 i spoted OutputEncoding property (or so), what about .NET 1.1 TIA, M Tag: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior Visual C#

    - Threading Question yes, the UI of the program freezes after calling thread.start until the function completes. I have another application where I use this same method to start another thread, but in that one I just call a static function that does not use any other function or class outside of my main class with which the static function resides. In that application it starts a seperate thread correctly. So I am thinking maybe it has something to do with the fact that my "run" function is not static or that my "Spider" object is not a statically declared variable. Would this make a difference If so, would this affect the fact that I am trying to dynamically create spiders as the application runs So that when one spider completes its task a new one, up to some specified amount, is created to start doing something. If I statically declared the spider variable, I'm thinking I couldn't do this without perhaps declaring an array of spiders or something like that.

    - Internet Control.. Hi. I'm an engineering student and i'm working on my project titled 'Internet Access Control' for our college. Our college has a server connected to our network lab where internet is accessed. I'm using sockets programming and i would be glad if you tell me which classes i have to use along with the addressing considerations. The aim is to have the user (student) log in and the user can have access to internet only for a fixed amount of time. The server should maintain login information and keep a watch on the time for which the user has accessed the net. I mainly need to know about how the program can know that Internet service has been started and ended, how should it do it What are the packages involved Thanks..

    - SP2 causing error? SP's are for improvements not for disasters. I'm running Windows XP with SP2. Not having any problem in any application. Exception tells that there is some nasty thing going in your code but from that error its not obvious that where To get that complete message put this code in your application: AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; currentDomain.UnhandleException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(UnhadledExceptionHere); private void (object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) { Exception ex = e.ExceptionObject; MessageBox.Show("Message : " + ex.Message + "\r\nStack Trace : " + ex.StackTrace); } Whenever an unhandled exception will be raised it'll be sent to this function with complete stack trace and exception messages. So you'll know where did the bad thing happen. But ofcourse you'll need to recompile the applicaiton before you check it again on the same machine which is causing error. Then you can see the error message and fix your code appropriately. I hope this will help.

    - question about using directive Ok, let us assume that you "MyCompany.Proj" is, as defined in you message, but instead of using MyCompany.Proj.Nested; we wrote just using MyCompany.Proj; Then we could write MyClass myc = new MyClass(); because the "using" gave us access to the namespace. However we could not write: ClassInNestedNameSpace cinns = new ClassInNestedNameSpace(); nor could we write: Nested.ClassInNestedNameSpace cinns = new Nested.ClassInNestedNameSpace(); because the "using" does not give us access to the nested namespace, only the specified namespace. We would have to write either: using MyCompany.Proj.Nested; ClassInNestedNameSpace cinns = new ClassInNestedNameSpace(); or MyCompany.Proj.Nested.ClassInNestedNameSpace cinns = new MyCompany.Proj.Nested.ClassInNestedNameSpace(); Tag: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior Visual C#

My intellisense will appear for a second and then disappear. It does not give me time to scroll or select anything.

This behavior is not consistent. Is there a timing or environment setting for intellisense How does it determine how long it stays visible

Thanks,

Re: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior

Suma Sushilendra MSFT

Hi Earl,

There is no timing setting as to how long an intellisense should be up. Hitting ESC or typing a commit character will dismiss the list and commit the preselected item if any. To know what those commit characters are, go to Tools | options | text editor | C# | intellisense and there is an edit box with the default list of commit characters that you can then modify if you like.

I have never heard anything like this. Do you have any thing else on your machine that is running at the time of VS and grabbing the focus Losing the focus will make the intellisense go away too.

Does it happen every time you are using VS in every project

Is it possible to attach a video of this issue

Let me know,

Thanks

Re: Visual C# IDE Problems with Intellisense popup behavior

Earl Newcomer

Hi Suma,

I'm don't think anything else is running that would be grabbing focus. What type of application would do that

This condition seems to happen for each Visual C# Web application that I create. I used Webex to record an example in a new project. Each time the intellisense goes away it is on its own. I am not pressing any keys.

How do I attach the Webex recording

Thanks,

Earl
