Class View bug - fyi - .NET Framework

lactaseman

I have just started spending serious time in the new studio 2005
C++/CLI arena writing some code assembly that will attache to a much
larger C# caode base. In keeping with the highly used namespaces in
C#, I have been making sure I organise my interfaces and class into
correct namespaces.

....However, I have run into a situation where when I renamed a
namespace in the code, the "Class View" window would not release the
old namespace name nor recognise the new name.

To make a long story short, after searching for this issue in the
groups and trying a a number of different things including removing
files (and deleting) from the project, recompiling, etc., the only way
I found to resolve this was to:

1) Close studio
2) delete the debug folders
3) delete aps and ncb files
4) reopen the solution and let it rebuild the class view

Not sure which files actually had to be removed... not sure if I care.
I am already edgy about C++/CLI not supporting the Class Designer... I
know they had trouble integrating it into VC and they had to pick and
choose their battles, but hey! I have no interrest in flaming C#, but
to me, moving away from 2005's VC (which now rocks with the new
language mods) to C# would be a step down.

....sorry about the rant at the end.

Please post a bug report at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback

Mostly likely, all you needed to do is delete the .ncb file. NCB stands for
"No Compile Browser" aka Class View and Intellisense.

Personally, I don't miss the class designer in C++. It's nice in C#, but
even there it's so limited that I'm constantly switching back & forther
between the diagram and the code - it'd be even worse in C++ since the class
designer has no ability to deal with separation of interface and
implementation, or any C++ language features that don't map directly to C#
(e.g. template, free functions).

What is absolutely wonderful in C# (especially in 2005) is having
Intellisense that's 99.99% accurate. Intellisense in VC++ 2005 has come a
long way, but it's not up to the level of C# or VB yet.

When Intellisense stops working correctly for me I often have luck closing
the solution and deleting the .ncb file.

class attribute to instance attribute

This is a question about Python patterns or idioms. Over a period of time, I have evolved a pattern of usage that seems to work better for me than other ways I tried previously, but in writing some documentation I don't know what to call this syntax or how best to describe it. I have not seen it used in other places. The somewhat longish version is that I have implemented an MVP (model-view-presenter) architecture where each "presenter"...

Class/Interface generation in C#

by: dotNEWBIE | last post by:

In VB .net I and my colleagues will often use abstract interfaces and VB's 'class wizard bars' at the top of the IDE for inheriting and generating a number of new classes quickly. This feature does not appear to be available in C#. Rather than using the xsd designers (or purchasing rational rose), is their a recomended method of generating C# classes/interfaces that is of similar (or even faster!) speed to vb .net? Regards,

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: 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,...
