aWorkBlogByGusGus Perez on C#, .NET Development and Software TestingIntroducing Hovervue...- August 14, 2005 Got a chance to code some today and I finally got around to getting Hovervue all packaged up and usable by anyone who's interested. You can get the full scoop on my personal blog. You can also see screenshots here which are pretty self-explanatory as to what the app does. If you decide to try it out (note it's a Whidbey beta 2 app, so the beta2 redist is required) I'd love to hear any feedbackideasbug reports you may have. For those who might remember, this is actually an app I wrote during...http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/13/451463.aspx Nullable DCR- August 12, 2005 Lots happened with Nullable pretty late in the game and it sure was a big effort by a bunch of people across several teams to make it happen. Check out Soma's post about the Nullable DCR and get a quick summary of how things are changing...http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/11/450713.aspx Double-quotes inside a verbatim string literal- August 11, 2005 This one came up today in an internal discussion alias and reminded me of how many times I've seen people get stumped on this one and end up working around it. A lot of users have used verbatim string literals as they ease writing multi-line strings literals or for specifying paths and not having to escape the backslashes (as Andrew pointed out in the comments for this post). Here's an example: string s = "First line ..http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/10/450257.aspx Another upcoming C language chat- August 10, 2005 We've got another C language chat coming up tomorrow at 1pm (PACIFIC time). Scott has posted all the relevant links and schedules but here's a direct link to the actual entry for tomorrow's session. I won't be there but there will be plenty of team members chatting away...http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/10/450035.aspx Static fields in generic classes- August 9, 2005 One of today's questions had to do with how static fields work in generic types in the upcoming C 2.0. For example, what would the output be from the following code using System; class Gen<T> public static int X = 0; class Test static void Main() Console.Write(Gen<int>.X); Console.Write(Gen<string>.X); Gen<int>.X = 5; Console.Write(Gen<int>.X); Console.Write(Gen<string>.X); The correct...http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/09/449363.aspx Warning CS1668: Invalid search path...- August 9, 2005 We once again saw a few reports of folks running into the CS1668 warning every time they used the C compiler when we released Beta 2. For those who use the warnaserror+ compiler option, it blocks compilation as it gets promoted to an error. To some users, this diagnostic comes as a surprise. We added it very early in the Whidbey (C 2.0VS 8.0) product cycle to help those who made a simple typo when modifying their LIB environment variable (or when using the lib compiler option) but it's still a.http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/08/449353.aspx I think I can...I think I can...- August 9, 2005 Today, I realized it had been a lot longer than I thought since I last posted on this blog. It's actually been over three months which just isn't all that cool. I haven't even been posting much on my personal blog which I used to keep at least somewhat active. I thought about it a bit and decided to try to post more often by just sharing a lot of the answers to C.NET related questions I answer every week from people internally and those in the community. Hopefully, that'll be something I get...http://blogs.msdn.com/gusperez/archive/2005/08/08/449343.aspx |
