I'm hoping that someone here will be able to direct me to some litrature on
how to get a list of a classes subclasses. I.e. need the inherited class to
know about subclasses that are inherited form it.
I guess that I'll have to use reflection but I can't find any examples on
MSDN.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

You can only look through assemblies to find all subclasses - if you
don't know all the assemblies that might contain subclasses, you can't
find them.
With that restriction, you can use Assembly.GetTyp es, and then go
through each type and use Type.IsAssignab leFrom to find out if the type
is derived (directly or indirectly) from your base type.

You may want to look at your design here, this is generally not
considered a goal in inheritance, the point of being able to extend
objects is that the original object should not have to know anything
about it's descendant classes.
If you need to have a relationship with the descendant class and the
original class, you may be better off formally declaring what that
relationship is, and use some other mechanism (than reflection) to get
at it, perhaps a hashtable for instance or possibly a custom attribute,
personally I would favour a registration process into a hash table (or
some other list) A patterns book could help you with the design.

Hi.
Recently I made a small script to do some file transferring (among other
things). I wanted to monitor the progress of the file transfer, so I needed
to know the size of the files I was transferring. Finding out how to get
this information took some time (reading the manuals - googling did not
prove worthwhile). Anyway, I did eventually figure out how to do it (there
are a few ways, including os.path.getsize(filename)).

Hi, slowly transitioning from C to C++, I decided to remodel a
struct/union (i.e. type identifier as first field, union of variant
types) as a class + subclasses. Switching functions are replaced by
virtual functions. So far so good.
Now what I used to do is have a struct, set its type and union member,
and return a pointer. I.e. I initialized the struct appropriately and
returned a reference. Now I'd like to do that in C++ (right...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
