Hi,
I feel fooled.. In the immediate window, if I enter
? DateTime.Now.Ki nd
I get "Unspecifie d {0}". The result - I expected "local" - lead to some time
consuming deliberations. Today, I execute
MsgBox(DateTime .Now.Kind)
MsgBox(DateTime .Now.Kind.ToStr ing)
as part of the source code, and I get "2" and "local" (where 2 = local, so
this is consistent).
Why does the immediate window lie? There, If I execute
?DateTime.Now.K ind.ToString
I even get the message "Run-time exception thrown :
System.Argument Exception - Cannot find the method on the object instance."
What? Did I overlook anything?

The fact that you cannot issue that statement like that, because it needs an
object to work with to complete the statement.
dim strhldkind as string
strhldkind = datetime.now.ki nd.tostring
Now, after executing that statement in code, the *strhldkind* is now an
*object* and in the immediate window you can enter this.
?strhldkind
It will show *local*
or you could have done this in code
dim strhldkind as string = datetime.now.ki nd.tostring

It is a complete statement. The result of the ToString method *is* an
object, it's a String. The "?" (aka print) command prints strings like they
are. It can take any expression as an argument, be it one simple variable
like strhldkind or be it a more complex expression. It does work with
"?datetime.now. kind", so why shouldn't it work with one more ".tostring" ?
Just because it's one more dot? This doesn't make sense.
Or, why does, for example,
"?System.Window s.Forms.Screen. PrimaryScreen.B itsPerPixel" work as well as
"?System.Window s.Forms.Screen. PrimaryScreen.B itsPerPixel.ToS tring"?
without an exception?
dim strhldkind as string
strhldkind = datetime.now.ki nd.tostring
Now, after executing that statement in code, the *strhldkind* is now
an *object* and in the immediate window you can enter this.
?strhldkind

or you could have done this in code
dim strhldkind as string = datetime.now.ki nd.tostring
Well, the problem is that it should also work like I explained before.
In addition, it is still wrong that it outputs "unspecifie d" in the
immediate window whereas I get "local" in the code.

I'm inclined to believe it is a bug. Because it displays properly in
the Immediate window when using C#, but I get the same results you do
when using VB.

Can anyone tell me how to get to the immediate window in VS2005. The help

Also, is there a trick now to single step. I can't find that anywhere
either.

I am using the Immediate Window a lot to see the progress of the
application. In VS2003, if your cursor was at the very bottom, the
window would scroll down whenever something new showed up. If your
cursor was somewhere in the middle of the text output, then there would
be no scrolling.
In VS2005, the Immediate Window scrolls regardless of where the cursor
is which is very annoying. Sometimes you want to go back up in the

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

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,...
