    - [Serializable] Attribute That part of the serialization depends on the formatter. For example, if you use The BinaryFormatter the first part of the stream is 139 bytes of version/type/ID information so the BinaryFormatter knows how to create the type. i.e. the assembly name, the type name, and ID of the object in the stream (there may be more than one object of the same type). It may also contain file header/footer information to aid the BinaryFormatter in deal with streams written by different versions of the BinaryFormatter. The SoapFormatter would output an element for the object describing the assembly name and the type name as attributes of the element and field values as sub-elements of that element.

    - Confused about how default indexers property works Hi programmers I found this example which covers how default indexers work http://pietschsoft.com/Blog/Post.aspx PostID=1357 I can’t see how it works. At the very end of the article the author says: // Change the name of the first Person in the People // collection using the Club objects Default property club[0].Name = "John" ; But does the default property get called at all I out commented the Set method in public Person this [ int index] and it still works. But if I do the same with the Name property in the Person class I get compile error. This means that the default property (set) never gets called. Instead it is the property of the Person class that gets called( ) Im having the exact problem with my code, so I would be really glad if someone can sort this out for me. I saw another example which would equivalent with this call: club[0] = "John"; But in that example there were no Properties other than the default index property. I got compiler error when I removed the Set metohd: "Property or indexer XXXXXXX... cannot be assigned to - Its read only". Plz give explanation // Lennart Tag: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003 Visual C#

    - C# COM entry point function Hello everyone, I am a developer from C++ COM to C# COM. I feel confused about the entry point function for a C# COM object. In C++, we always initialize object through GetClassObject or DLLGetClassObject, but it seems C# does not need these functions Here is a sample from MSDN. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa645738(VS.71).aspx So, in C# do we need to implement the required functions like GetClassObject If no need, which function is the entry point for C# COM object -- I want to find the entry point function so that I can verify that my C# COM object can begin to talk with other COM clients. thanks in advance, George Tag: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003 Visual C#

    - AppDomain creates confusion Can any please tell me difference between AppDomain and Process in .Net context. I mean I am reading a book which says AppDomain is the new boundry for application execution and we can have more than one AppDomain in a process. If my application (means exe) is executing in an AppDomain than what is a process in which I can create another appdomain means can execute another exe. The book(Professional C# 2005 Wrox pub) further says AppDomains cannot access object directly in another AppDomain without a proxy (proxy ) but the same book gives an example( that works) in which a AppDomain is created and constructor of a class in another assembly is called(through CreateInstance) it sounds consfusing.

    - MAPI in C# ? I am currently sending email from my C# windows application using System.Net.Mail by creating a SmtpClient. However, I am being asked to use the Exchange Mail Server's "User names" instead of the actual email addresses. The SmtpClient method of sending mail does not seem to be able to do this. I am told that another developer working with another language and development environment can do this. I asked him how and he said he uses MAPI. Are there any built-in classes in DotNet for C# to use MAPI My goal is to pass the mail server the user names instead of the actual email addresses. Any help or direction is appreciated!

    - Solution Explorer where did New Folder go? It appears that in visual Studio 2005, the new folder feature found in visual studio solution explorer has been replaced with "new filter". While I find filters fun and nice to use, I find this feature not able to do what I could with the new folder feature in 2003 We basically have a very large project and we want to create "sub-folders" off of that project as to group the different areas. An example would be something like... Toy Store Project Balls - In this "sub folder" is all the .cpp, .h, and resx files etc having to do with balls Video Games - in this "sub folder" is all the .cpp, .h, and resx files having to do with video games. Matchbox Cars - and finally in this sub folder would be all the .cpp, .h, and resx files having to do with matchbox cars. I realize I am using .cpp etc.... because I looked and didn't see a ide of c++ but figured it would be close to c#'s IDE. Does anyone else miss the sub folder feature Is there a switch or some method to turn it back on Still No feedback Surely someone has to know the answer for this Tag: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003 Visual C#

    - HELP Needed on COM Interop Hi All, Need help with COM Interop. I am trying to use interop and perform automation on a COM DLL. In the process, i need to type cast an Object into a Class specified in COM DLL. When i do the same in VB it works fine. However when i typecast using C# , i get the following exception. System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type '<ClassName>'. COM components that enter the CLR and do not support IProvideClassInfo or that do not have any interop assembly registered will be wrapped in the __ComObject type. Instances of this type cannot be cast to any other class; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface. i get the same exception when i try to typecast to the interface. Surprisingly, since i donot need to typecast in VB explicity, i am able to typecast. Can you please help me nail this. Am i doing something wrong Regards, Swaroop PS: am trying to perfrom automation of a COM Dll that comes with a tool called Extensis Portfolio.

    - events and handlers My post was really trying to answer a couple of questions. 1. Does an object reference count include the function pointers that a delegate holds (i.e. do I need to remove them ) which from the above would be yes. 2. If i were to remove the handlers from the delegate mid event would they still get called from another post in the c# general section the answer is yes (My posts didn't seem to appear.....so I posted twice) My aim is to ripple change though a graph of objects, however I think I am using events where I shouldn't be. At best I would be able to build a list of objects to process post event, and even to allow that - due to the fact the data is representing a graph - I would need to store an event state (i.e. has this object already been processed) to avoid an infinite loop which starts to sound overly and unecessarily complex.

    - How do I transfer data to an Excel file Hi Mahesh, I have found out quite a lot this morning. I didn't get a DLL file saved in BIN\DEBUG until I 'built' the dll. Fair enough. When I did get a dll saved, it is called Interop.Excel.dll The line using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; still causes an error . 'The type or namespace name 'Interop' does not exist in the namesapce 'Microsoft.Office'. The definitions in the KB file, such as private Excel. Application m_objExcel = null ; need to be changed to public static Excel. Application m_objExcel = null ; otherwise I get errors in the program lines, such as m_objExcel = new Excel. Application ();. Error is ' An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method or property 'AnnsonExcelDLL2.WriteExcel.m_objExcel' The upshot of all this is that I am making progress, but it is the progress of a blind man in a dark room!! Is there any documentation anywhere that explains lines like m_objRange = m_objSheet.get_Range( "A1" , m_objOpt); I can understand what it does and I can understand how to adapt it to do what I want it to do, but not where it comes from and how to create the line in the first place without looking at a KB file Many thanks John Woodiwiss Tag: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003 Visual C#

    - Warnings and classes Yes, it matters that the class isn't public. The only way to access the "Year" field is from an instance of the "Car" class. However, as the "Car" class is not public, it can only be instantiated within your project/assembly. Thus the compiler knows everything about how the "Car" class is used, and by extension, how the "Year" field is used, and can state with absolute certainty whether it is ever assigned to or accessed. As a field that is never assigned to or accessed is quite useless and probably a mistake, the compiler generates this warning. -Tom Meschter Software Dev, Visual C# IDE Tag: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003 Visual C#

    - Problem showing int from another class Hello, I am developing a console text game. Here is the problematic code for it. Code Snippet using System; namespace CoolGameTextClean { class Engine { private static Player MainCharacter = new Player(); public Engine() { MainCharacter.StartingLevel(); } public static void Main() { Console.WriteLine(MainCharacter.DisplayLevel.ToString()); // Displays 0. It should display 1 Console.ReadLine(); } } } Code Snippet namespace CoolGameTextClean { class Player { private int Level; public int DisplayLevel { get { return Level; } set { Level = value; } } public void StartingLevel() { Level = 1; } } } The problem is, in the Main method, I want to display the Level of the MainCharacter. In the constructer, I call the StartingLevel method, which sets the Level to 1, however, when I run the program, it displays the level as 0. What am I doing wrong Can someone tell me Thanks.

    - Language suggestion: try using {} catch {} finally {} Greg Beech wrote: In well designed and written code with a clearly thought out exception handling strategy, only about 5-10% of try blocks will have a catch , most are just used with finally (note that a using construct counts as a try/finally here). It wasn't me that originally said this, though I do agree - I believe it was Anders Heijsberg so it comes with good pedigree. There doesn't seem a lot of point in complicating the language for features that will rarely be used and which can be catered for in barely more verbose ways. IMHO anyway. If you include using blocks in the try/finally count this should definitely be true. Otherwise, I would suggest that if there are a lot of try/finally with no catches, IDisposable hasn't properly been designed into the application...

    - Generic Method Return Type Casting Problem Due to the limitation of constraints on generics, you attempt is doomed to failure. However, since you have the "if (t1 is int)" section in there, it seems your attempt is pointless as well. It appears you'd be better off using overloading instead: Code Snippet public int Add(int t1, int t2) { return t1+t2; } public double Add(double t1, double t2) { return t1 + t2; } } public T Add<T>(T t1, T t2) { // do something special for reference types without + } Tag: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003 Visual C#

    - Format Exception I have written a networked system where clients sometimes download data from the server. The clients are run all over the world and I have no control over their regional settings. Some of the clients crash with a Format Exception because dates which they download cannot be parsed on the client side. Is there some way that I can write a DateTime as some sort of universal string which can then be parsed no matter how the client's regional settings are set I was going to resort to sending the a string with the year, month, date, hours, minutes, separated by a delimeter of my own choosing so that I can parse it and set the date piece by piece on the other side, but I would be much happier if there was some convenient one line way.

Re: Visual C# General Help - command line error MIDL1003

TaylorMichaelL

The MIDL compiler ran across a #include statement in the IDL file and it can't find the referenced IDL file because no include paths were specified. Use the /I command line option to specify the path to the various IDL files. Normally you would use the standard include files used by the compiler. Try SET INCLUDE from the command line to confirm that the INCLUDE variable was set up. If it wasn't then you should set it up to avoid a lot of extra work on your part. This was an option that was available when installing VS2005 I believe. There is also a BAT file that sets up the command line properly for the various tools (it ships with VS2005).

It may not be the best solution,

but i changed the #include <file.h> to #include "file.h" and copied file.h to the same folder as the .idl file and it worked.
