Hi,
I have built an application containing a few projects (nothing that I have
written)and there are a few compiler warnings (obsolete methods and the like).
Does anyone know if these obsolete methods cause any performance issues if
not corrected? I would imagine that they do, but would be interested to know
to what extent.

Why would they?
Deprecated/obsolete methods usually happen because the .NET designers feel
they came up with a better way to do something. That doesn't necessarily
mean that the older way performed more poorly.
If you have a specific example, I'm sure some specific advice can be
offered. Other than that, I'd say that the general rule of thumb is to
try hard to avoid having warnings in your code. Not because they might
imply poor performance, but because they are usually telling you something
important about the way you wrote your code that could lead to other
problems (such as incorrect output, lack of a future-proof upgrade path,
etc.).

IMHO, I think performance concerns should be the least of your worries
if you have code with obsolete warings.
I would have to assume there isn't any way to measure performance
using obsolete api's on a machine with multiple .NET runtimes.
As I said, it wasn't code that I had written. This is part of an application
containing over 380 projects and which has been upgraded from v1.1 to v3.0 in
the last few months. It has also had an upgrade to a third party data
retrieval layer and it is this which is creating all of the obselete method
warnings. As is often the case, though, there is no money to pay for a clean
up of the code, so things will probably be left as they are.

Are the warnings the same no matter what compiler you use, or are they

can't find anything that explains what the warnings are.

Hi
I observed something while coding the other day:
if I declare a character array as char s, and try to use it as any
other character array..it works perfectly fine most of the times. It
holds strings of any length. I guess what is happening here is that
this array initially holds only '\0' and hence is of length 1.
But sometimes, when I tried to write some functions and do some

Hi All,
In Visual Basic .NET , your function definition might requirre you to return

In this case VB Compiler does not generate any warning.

I'm trying to find the best way to work with compiler warnings. I'd

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,...
