Sadly, no. I've been busy with a large project so I haven't been hitting CP as much as I used to.

Hi
How do I make a modal dialog box that returns OK or Cancel?

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

I figured it out. For those interested, you set the "CancelButton" form property to one of your buttons, and, for the "OK" button, you set the button's property "DialogResult" to "OK".

You can also do it manually (via code) by setting the DialogResult property to DialogResult.OK and DialogResult.Cancel.
This is especially useful when doing form validation in your OK button click event handler. If the form is invalid, just set DialogResul to DialogResult.None.

I want to develop an application in C#, a plain simple window with "Hwllo World" string displayed in the centre. Thats it!!
Then i want to distribute this product. Please tell me what "minimal" things i need to include with the setup program of this very simple application???
Also tell me the combined minimal size of the resultant things that i need no distribute, so that this application "successfully" work onsystem having no .NET installed proviously.

You need the .NET redistributable installed (25mb) to my knowledge it is not possible to run it otherwise.

Last Thursday, we announced a few future C# language features at OOPSLA 2002. The features are:
* Generics
* Iterators
* Anonymous Delegates
* Partial Types
Note that these features are not in the version of VS that's current in Beta, VS "Everett".
For more information - and to sign up to receive email when we have specs ready - visit http://www.csharp.net

If you really can't wait you could try Envision! (Eiffel .NET for Visual Studio .NET)

An iterator is a practical and innovative language construct based on similar features in research languages such as CLU, Sather, Icon, and more. Simply put, iterators make it easy for types to declare how the foreach statement will iterate over their elements.
I'm more confused than I was before. Innovative ? Are we talking about something different to what the STL calls an iterator here ?

I thought the generics were old news. I'm interested to know what is meant by 'iterators' though - do we glean from this that there will be an STL like container collection in the next version as well ? Is there anywhere we can see some examples of the syntax of the new features ?

Iterators are a way to make writing foreach-able classes easier. It's fairly easy currently to do this for something like an array, but doing it for a tree requires some gymnastics. With iterators, the compiler does the gymnastics for you.

Eric, the link there for demo files is broken. The powerpoint file downloads OK though.

Well, you know, I'd rant and rave about Microsoft letting me down again, but last time I checked, I was not perfect either ( although damn close, let me add )......
Thanks - I'll check again later today. I'm really excited about this stuff, I must say, especially how verbose the generic syntax isn't.

I read elsewhere about Anonymous Methods instead. Are they one and the same or is there a subtle difference?

Ok scratch that, just learnt that it's "Anonymous methods via delegates"

Without wanting to start a VB vs VC# troll, is this the split between these 2 languages that I've been hearing about from your South African colleagues?
Either way, you guys are doing great work.

C# and VB .NET are targetted at slightly different audiences, and that changes the stack rank of features. Many features are interesting to both groups, but the importance of the feature may be high in one group and low in another. Each of the product groups decides where to devote their resources for a given release.
I don't know what the plans are for VB .NET WRT generics. I do know that generics have always been one of the top requests from C# customers, and that's why we're doing them.

Thanks, Eric.
That clears things up for me.
