I'm currently trying to implement an enumerator class, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here is the code. Private Class CEnumerator *** Implements IEnumerator Private pArr As Array Private index As Integer Public Sub New(ByVal pArr As Array) ***Me.pArr = pArr ***index = -1 End Sub ' New Public ReadOnly Property Current() As Object Implements IEnumerator.Current Get ***Return pArr(index) End Get ... ... That part keeps giving me the "disallows late binding" error. I know I can just declare pArr as an Object array and be done with this mess, but I just want to know why can't I just return whats in*pArr(index) as an object? More...

Using the Physics Illustrator with a mouse is extremely difficult because it was only designed to make use of tablets. Just locking down and object almost never works because it rarely recognizes that I'm trying to draw a check mark. Has anyone here ever figured out how to control Physics Illustrator with a mouse instead of a tablet stylus? If it had shortcut keys it might be handy because then you would have to rely on gestures.

I'm not going to say who I like, and that isn't really the point.* In the past, newspapers would eventually pick a candidate as the one person that they feel has the ideas and morals that represent that institution.* C9 is a bunch of individuals who have their own ideas of how the US and the world should be run.* But we are also the non-paid front end of msdn.* And, if you take it further, microsoft. Employees of MSFT are likely unable to express their political ideals and even if they could, it would be very soon that some PR monkey would ask them to not do so. But the posters aren't under any kind of limitation.* For every time that Charles has to hold his tongue, one of us can speak our mind.* But the question is, does C9 have a consitent political ideal?* It is very unlikely that we'll pick a USA candidate that we all can agree on, but what are the core values that we can, in fact, agree on.* If we can't agree on monetary policy, or foreign policy or whatever, what can we agree on?* And given that we disagree on so much, is there anything that we can, in fact, agree on?* Are we a group of people with some common ground, or is C9 a completely anarchic bulletin board?

I was toying around with a C++/CLI project in VS2005 and noticed that xml comments '///'*don't seem to work like they do in c#. :( So I thought perhaps there just isn't intellisense support for '///' in the language so I manually put xml comments in my class. But I noticed when using the class I just commented (in another C# project) that the comments do not show up in intellisense. Is there something I doing wrong or does C++/CLI not support this sort of documentation? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

The circumstances of the crash: 1. Verizon XV6700 (HTC Wizard) - has a slide-out keyboard 2. Windows Mobile 5.1 3. Uploaded app installed and running I'm interested in knowing if those with other slide-out keyboard phones (or phones that can fire a resize event with the app in the background) can reproduce this issue. Start the app; then: 1. Switch to another app 2. Toggle off the backlight 3. Slide out the keyboard 4. Toggle on the backlight 5. Switch to the app via Magic Button's icon Crashes every time for me - no error message, no exception to catch - just gone. It appears the unique circumstances of this bug are: 1) The base .Net CF app really wants focus onresize. If you give it focus with the backlight off and open the device, the screen resize turns the backlight back on. 2) Magic Button is presumably calling up the Form in an unexpected or incorrect way. Installing the app is trivial - just copy the .exe file to the phone. No installer and the .exe runs on the phone. Here's a link to the .exe if you prefer (for example if you're browsing from your phone): ClickResize.exe More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds
