Error "object reference not set to instance of an object" when trying to set datasource property of a bound column in datagrid control

Hello again!

column is set up as combo box column, and when I try to set the datasource
for that combobox column at design time in the properties section of VS, I

I suddenly received an unexpected error in my project. I have been working on this project for some time without this issue. Nothing has changed in the form that caused the exception. A little experimentation shows that I cannot run ANY .NET web project without getting this error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I am building a simple user control - a listview, a couple buttons. I build the solution, drop the control on a form, and all is well. I then go back, modify the Usercontrol, rebuild, and still all is well. However, at some point I get the "Object Refererence not set to an instance..." error when I rebuild. If I try to drop the control on another form I get the same error. I do not believe it is the code in the usercontrol, as it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
