That might be relevant, tangentially. I'm not quite sure what this dependent project really was or how it got in there. I don't think it was a dll conflict, though. I believe it was a dependent...

I would say that it is to be consistent with C/C++ standards, though I don't know if that is true. Arrays all start at 0 in those languages, and so they do in .NET.

I'm unclear on what we are...

That's a telling point you make at the end, there. One of the issues I've had with any such alternative is: What is the business model around it?

There appear to be a couple ways that a new...

Turns out, it was a total red herring. There was a reference in the proj file to a different project that no longer existed. Once I edited the proj file to get rid of those invalid references, the...

This thread is related to this other one:

In that other thread I was somewhat misunderstanding what was going on. I'm still...

The question of whether you should do the query in the UI thread or some other thread generally comes down to performance. If the query is quick, you might not even notice the time it takes, in which...

What I would do is create the ellipses to a List(of Ellipse). That can be done either on load, or on a button click, depending on what you want to have happen. I'd use the button if I wanted the form...

Sure, that's certainly true, and that's what a class would solve: Make it so that you don't have to remember.

The point to keep in mind is that arrays are just a sequence of bytes that start at...

Why? The only passion we clearly share is talking...or arguing.

I think you need to explain what your objective is.

The Paint event is raised in all kinds of different situations. Anytime Windows decides that something needs to be redrawn. If you are creating...

Drop.

Technically, array bounds can never be negative, as the start of an array is some memory address, which itself can't be negative. So, to make it look like you have a negative bounds, you are taking...

I don't totally agree with that...but having re-read the preceding points, I have no idea what the objective is. I can't see any scenario where post #7 makes any useful sense. Paint shouldn't be used...

When this exception happens, take a look at the stack trace. Loops can be very deep. I've seen an infinite loop that went through a dozen calls before repeating. The stack trace will show some...

That's because you are not doing the drawing in the Paint event of the form. Refresh will force a paint, and that wipes out what you have done. Do all drawing in the Paint event, not in Load or...

More accurately:
What "the public" say they really want is healthy food.
What "the public" really buys is -heavily advertised fast-food-junk.


When it comes to the direction for the future, MS...

32-bit won't be disappearing anytime soon. The advantage of 32-bit over 16-bit was very large, especially since 16 bit dealt with those memory models, which were a bad idea even at the time. The...

Well, that could make a good point.

After 20+ years? I think the bull has gotten a bit further than you were thinking...those might not be the horns.

You two are flint and steel. Knock it off.

Hey, Niya, the new IDE is really powerful.

There, you got your wish. Better late than never, right?

Something to consider: The load time is going away, and that's a features that has long held...

I'm not into twips. Quips, on the other hand....I'm all over that.

I found the diversion very interesting. I was going to look into WPF for work, but was told not to go there, so I didn't. Now I...

I don't see Reagan in that picture, not to the right or left of Biden.

I was expecting bitter and hyperbolic paranoia, but that post either went so far out it almost came back in again, or it was...

You probably shouldn't be looking through the combobox at all. I'm feeling that I'm misunderstanding something about the design. It sounds like you want to do something for either ALL owners, or for...

Really? Doesn't the question contain the answer? If VB6 is almost as powerful as some other language, then that would mean that it is NOT as powerful as that other language, so why wouldn't people...

That's not true, but it IS very telling. Why isn't Linux on every desktop? I would say it is two things:

1) Harder to install.
2) Less software.

The first is solvable, and may have already...

The other option would be:


DirectCast(TabPage1.Controls("ComboBox" & m),ComboBox).SelectedIndex = -1

I think you might be making this more complicated than it should be, though I agree with the concurrent queue. After all, if I am understanding you right, you have one thread (the first BGW) starting...

Yeah, you could hibernate through till spring...if you can bear it.

Dil, you seem to be spiraling into a bad place. Predicting doom never works out for anybody: If you're right, you're playing Cassandra. If you're wrong, you're a fool.

You're young. I'm not into the critical age range, but I'm kind of on the edge of it. I think FD would be in that range, as well, so a moderate-severe case is more likely. I expect that I'd survive ...

Let me point out that you are 14 posts into this thread and already the objective is blurring. This is the problem that has always plagued VB6 replacements, even including VB.NET: In theory, it's a...

I wouldn't use the word stupid. In this case, it was well earned, but only in the reply which was removed. Up to that point, he was mostly just misguided. One can be intelligent in most areas and...

If it is a bit slow, you might consider WHEN you load the data, as well. You said that you do it on form load, which may be the earliest opportunity to load the data. If that's the case, then so be...

The dlls are loaded dynamically because they are plugins. The set of plugins can change at any time, and, of course, are added after program installation, so dynamic loading is the only option.

You already asked both parts of this question in other threads. Just keep going with those threads rather than starting new ones with the same questions.

Yeah, very much on the same page, but you showed an example, where I just talked about it.

Yeah, I was seeing some very strange code stepping, but that option I mentioned is an interesting one to look into. The documentation on it from MS says up front that if you don't have that one...

Yeah, I was wondering about that.

Just to follow up on this, the setting "Suppress JIT optimization on module load" will cause the debugger to work the way I expect whether in Release or Debug builds as far as stepping through the...
