Hello guys. Working in C# when you collapse a function, only the functions signature remains visible while the rest of the function body changes into boxed ellipsis. The color of this ellipsis also changes accoring to the settings. Again, the color of the boxed ellipsis changes only. It looks something like this
int Function() ...
I want the same in VB.Net. Although the function signature remains visible but unlike CSharp, color of the whole function signature changes in VB.Net. At the very least, I don't feel comfortable with this.
I hope you got my problem. If so, is there a way to make this behavior similar to that of CSharp? Thanks for any suggestions.
This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

I think my question was not clear enough. I exactly did what you suggested, before posting this question.
I also wrote that the whole function signature changes its color.
However in CSharp, only he boxed ellipsis changes its color. The function signature retains its color scheme.
So is there anyway in VB.Net, adopt this CSharp behavior in VB.Net. I googled it but could not find any.

This is nothing to do with C# or VB, it is a Visual Studio issue, and these changes can only be made through the options settings. If VS does not offer a specific option to do what you want then you need to petition Microsoft for the change.

There is no setting to change that behavior.
It may appear that the same code editor is being used when you look at C# and VB.NET, but it's not. The C# and VB.NET code editors were written by different teams at MS and the functionality difference between the two are quite extensive.
Part of the reason for these differences is maintaining a "feel" that appeared in previous products. The C# code editor "feels" more like the editors of C/C++ of Visual Studios past, while VB.NET "feels" and works more like the old VB6 and below editors.

Hi
I have used itextsharp for convert innerhtml content to PDF. but textbox and sigplus(Activex signature) controls are not converted and it displayed empty field in PDF. How to convert all controls to PDF.
Thanks in advance

You cannot convert a control to show up in a PDF. You have to grab a snapshot of the displayed control (think screen shot) and put that into the document.
Considering it's HTML, I don't know how you're going to get the image of the control seeing as though it can be anywhere on the screen.

Hi to the community.
I am an electronics engineer by profession. I have programmed in C and C++ and therefore mostly understand about object oriented programming and classes.
However, I have downloaded a program, from "the code project", that is written in C# for the asp.net framework. It implements "The Rectangle Packing Algorithm".
I do need to rearrange parts of this program in order to suit my needs. It was written by a professional web developer. I have loaded the program in visual studio and it does run.
I have tried to make heads or tails out of the program by reading books about C# and asp.net but the process is rather slow and I do have a life. I can now "get around" in simple c# but this program is still way above me as I can't make heads or tails out of the way that the C# is making use of the asp.net framework.
I would learn a lot faster if I knew someone that was capable of looking at the program and saying "here is what is going on here and there, etc". It is not a matter of asking a simple question, say, about classes or constructors, etc.
At my company there are only C, C++ and embedded programmers who claim no knowledge of c# or asp.net.
I am even amenable to paying someone for their services, through PayPal.
Advice is welcome.
Regards
Tom

ASP.NET is not the same as .NET, their applications run in a web browser, they are not desktop applications. You could always post a question in the forum at the end of the article and see if the author can offer any further information that would help you.

I just recently upgrade to VS2012 and I'm a little confused reading about the new .NET CF 3.9 so I'm hoping someone here can clear up my confusion.
Back when I was using VS2008 I wrote some software for my company. The software ran on a HP iPAQ PDA and was a data entry software. When VS2010 came out it no longer supported the .NET CF but now I'm reading that VS2012 will support a new version of the CF (3.9) starting Q1 2013. When I search on Microsoft's site though I see links saying "Evaluate Compact 7 for free today." Back when I wrote the iPAQ software everything was free. Visual Studion had a project type for mobile devices and the .NET CF was a free install. Now it looks like to write anything for a mobile device it is an extra fee.
Am I missing something? Is the Compact 7 different then the .NET CF 3.9? Is there any installs to add a mobile device project type to VS2012?
I know it would be easier if my company just upgrade our devices but they don't want to spend the money when the HP iPAQ are still functioning. I would like to update the software on it, I just hate having to work on the PDA software with VS2008 and then the companion desktop application with VS2012.
In the meantime, is there anyway I could currently work on the PDA application with VS2012?
Thanks

Friends,
I am trying to merge to byte arrays and can't seem to get my code to work. Code below. Can i get some thoughts on what might be happening? I have verified that the arrays DO have data in them(aka length > 0).
Dim pdfBytesSyllabus As Byte() = pdf.GetPdfBytesFromHtmlStream(streamSyllabus, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
Dim pdfBytesCenter As Byte() = pdf.GetPdfBytesFromHtmlStream(streamCenter, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
Array.Copy(pdfBytesCenter, 0, pdfBytesSyllabus, pdfBytesSyllabus.Length, pdfBytesCenter.Length)

Array.Copy won't work as it does not resize the destination array (pdfBytesSyllabus) to hold the additional data from pdfBytesCenter.
The steps required are
1) Create a new array of sufficient length to hold both arrays
2) Copy pdfBytesSyllabus to the new array at index 0
3) Copy pdfBytesCenter to the new array at index pdfBytesSyllabus.Length
Much the same thing could be done with a generic List Of Byte, which is really just an implementation of a resizable array with a lot of useful methods added.

Uhhh...no. Alan nailed the problem exactly. You're just guessing at it.

As Alan has said, the problem is to do with the fact that the array isn't big enough to contain this. A simple way to fix this is to create a generic list of bytes and add the data into it. You can easily get an array out of this like this:
Dim pdfData As New List(Of [Byte])(pdfBytesSyllabus.Length + pdfBytesCenter.Length)
pdfData.AddRange(pdfBytesCenter)
pdfData.AddRange(pdfBytesSyllabus)
Dim cumulativePdfData As Byte() = pdfData.ToArray()

Hi,
In our WPF application we need show XPS document with navigation tree.
Can you help me, how can I build navigation tree from XPS document?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
1. There is a specific forum for WPF questions.
2. Please explain what you mean by "build navigation tree from XPS document"?
|
|
|
|
|
The first thing you need to do to build any form of tree (and I'm assuming you are talking about a feature similar to the document outline in Word), is to parse out the document so that you can relate the structure together. I would start with this[^] if I were you.

I'm currently reading a book to learn about creating a compiler and/or interpreter for your own language (Writing Compiler and Interpreters by Ronald Mak). I've been learning a lot from this book, however the author uses Java to create the entire framework and the compiler emits Java byte code.
As I've been working though the samples I'm porting the Java code to VB.NET since I use VB.NET for all my other programming. I haven't reached the chapter on building the compiler but when I do I would rather have the compiler emit CLI code just as Visual Studio does when you build a .NET application.
Unfortunately I don't know CLI code but this seems like a good time to learn. I already downloaded the ECMA standard but I learn must better and quicker from books that give concrete examples and implementations.
Does anyone have any recommendations for any books that teaches about CLI code and preferably have example code that I can work with as I'm reading?
As a side note (since this has been brought up to me by other on numerous occasions) I'm not creating this custom language expecting it to take off and be the next big thing. I'm doing it for two reasons: 1) Academic purposes; 2) My company uses specialized measurement tools that produce large data sets that is hard to program for just because unique nature of the data. So I'm looking to create a domain specific language to handle some manipulation of the data.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Data is data, and can be handled by any language that currently exists. Your time would probably be better spent writing the code to do it, particularly as VB.NET emits CLI code, which is what you are hoping to do with your new language, so the end result will be the same.
That being said, you may like to look at some of these links[^].

As a starting point, what you are looking at is commonly known as a Domain Specific Language. I'd suggest that you start by having a look at this[^] article. Read it through a few times to make sure you fully understand it.

Mak generates "intermediate code" from the scanning / parsing phases which he eventually interprets or compiles.
For the intermediate code phase, I would suggest you swap in the .Net framework's System.CodeDom classes for building language independent code graphs and ultimately generating assemblies (instead of bothering with MSIL).
