I have to work with an API that uses a lot of by-reference parameters. I'm just beginning to use NMock, and I'm having trouble seeing how to make NMock actually modify one of those by-ref parameters to a specific value. Am I missing something, or does it just not do that? Is there a better way, short of wrapping this API? ...

These collection objects store objects that implement an interface called ICob. ICob has 3 properties. A boo...
I have the following sample code in a VB.NET console application. It compiles and works, but feels like a hack. Is there a way to define EmptyChild so that it inherits from Intermediate(Of T As Class) without using the dummy EmptyClass?

Hi, I have the following Enum: Public Enum myEnum As Integer first = &H1 second = &H2 third = &H4 fourth = &H8 fifth = &H10 sixth = &H20 End Enum It is neccessary, unfortunately, that the enum elements have those values, or at least have values that can be binary compared.

I am trying to automate VC++ build via an addIn written using VB.NEt so that we can schedule it using a simple batch file. This addin performs some custom pre-requisites before the build is started. The build is invoked as ... devenv.com /useenv %NEWSOLFILE% /CLEAN %BUILDCONFIG% /OUT %OUTLOGFILE% > nul with appropriate filename substi...
hi, I'm having some trouble trying to inherit a control that uses an embedded resource. the trouble is - this control uses me.GetType() instead of GetType(ControlName). now when I try to use the derived control, it looks for the resources in the derived control's assembly, instead of the base control assembly, and obviously - doesn't fin...
We are using Reporting Services to generate a purchase order, which is rendered as pdf before displaying on the screen. The report works well, as is, except that now we have to add a Terms & Conditions page to every PO. I've tried placing it in the footer, setting it to display only on the last page--this didn't work. I've also tried a...

I've got a f(x) that returns a collection of user controls. .Net lets me just treat the f(x) name as the collection. Is there something wrong with doing so? ex) Private Function GetCcB() As Collection(Of Reports_ucColumn) Dim cc As New Collection(Of Reports_ucColumn) cc.Add(Me.ucColumn0) cc.Add(Me.ucColumn1) cc.Add(Me...

I previously asked a question about my meeting planner app, and how to delete a specific entry in the array. Someone had the interesting suggestion of using a ArrayList, instead of a normal array. I am attempting to learn ArrayList, but to no good result. I can't even get the ToString method to work correctly to write what I want it to i...
I'm under the impression that these two commands result in the same end, namely incrementing X by 1 but that the latter is probably more efficient. If this is not correct, please explain the diff. If it is correct, why should the latter be more efficient? Shouldn't they both compile to the same IL? Thanks. ...
Using vb.net (vs2005), how do I populate a combo box with multiple property values from an object? Right now I'm iterating a collection of objects and adding the name property of each object to the combo box. I'd like to add multiple properties from the object to the list. For now, I'd be happy if they appeared comma separated in the lis...
I created an image-viewing control for my boss that incorporates panning, zooming via the mouse wheel, and drawing a box to zoom to. The control needs to support very large image files (i.e. several thousand pixels on each side). It all works, but whenever the code is scaling the image the control UI becomes unresponsive. My boss had ...
In my career I have seen literally dozens of ways that people choose to handle implementing state and country data (as in NY or USA). I've seen enumerations, multi-dimensional arrays, data driven classes from XML docs or databases, and good old-fashioned strings. So, I'm wondering, what do people consider the "best way" to handle this ...
