Well, I'm with you there. I've not done any C++ with the .NET-era IDEs. But if I were told to cut some new C++ and was given a choice of IDEs, naturally I would use the up-to-date ones - even if I happened to prefer the old IDE.

At the start of 2005 I was doing some VC++ 6 maintenance. I used some STL and my boss at the time objected saying: "we don't use STL here." I don't think he was objecting to the VC++ 6 implementation, he just didn't see any benefit over MFC. Fortunately it was only a 3-week project.
(Actually, I've found in the past with C++ that many have barely heard of anything beyond raw arrays and pointers. Even using MFC collection classes is an advance! Stroustrup has ranted on this - in a good way.)

Fair enough.

In VB2005, there's something like File.SaveAllText("filepath", "Text");

The problem is sufficiently trivial that if you define 'cannot get it to work' and post your code, I'm sure I can help.

I'm at a loss. I gave you one line of code, and you're saying you have no code in your app yet, but the line I gave you doesn't work ?
File.WriteAllText will indeed overwrite the file at the path you provide, with the string you pass into it. Which bit is causing you grief ?

VB kep throwing expression errors, i have tried to work around it but it is not working at all, I am 18 and been coding for a few months so please excuse my stupidness.

Oh, my bad.
It's System.IO.File.WriteAllText
if you don't have System.IO scoped in already, you need to put the whole thing.

My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\filename.txt", TextBox1.Text, True)
That is how I have done it! Thanks for the help Christian!

No problem. That's a shortcut for System.IO.File.WriteAllText, it does the same thing. My is a shortcut for VB only, not C#.

how to add reference to the aracle database.dll
in vb.net????
|
|
|
|
|
You've asked two questions
1 - to make a dll, create a class library project.
2 - to reference to a dll, right click on the references area of the solution explorer and choose 'add reference'

Probably because you haven't installed something. You can find it here[^].

It's System.Data.OracleClient in the list of .NET references. You do not have to add anything that's part of Oracle ( and unless it's a .NET or COM dll, you couldn't any how )

Hi,
Is it possible to specify that a sub/function argument should implement two or more interfaces?
What i mean is something like this (of course this doesnt work):
Private Sub DoSomething(ByVal x As {IFirst, ISecond})
'Do it
End Sub
Thx,
Banjobeni

If ISecond inherits IFirst then you could accept anything that Implements IFirst, which would also include anything that implements ISecond. However you would be limited to only the methods and properties found in IFirst. If you needed access to properties/methods found in ISecond you would have to test the object to see if it could be cast as ISecond and if so act accordingly. If those are completly seperate interfaces then no it's not possible.

What is the easiest way to test if an object can be cast as something?
|
|
|
|

if (myOb is IMyInterface)
{
}
or
IMyInterFace myInt = myOb as IMyInterface;
if (myInt != null)
{
// It worked
}

Sorry, I don't know the VB.NET syntax for 'is' and 'as'. I don't use VB.NET, ever.
