I've tried my best first, by putting the question into a completely unattended forum and linking to it. What would you suggest to do in such a case? Wait another four months? I wonder why unattended forums aren't closed down...
And: Can a place which is visited be a wrong place, anyway? My posting there resulted in a good, simple and working solution of the problem some minutes ago, from someone who looked at the question itself instead of judging helpless attempts to follow the rules for the remaining rulebreaking. I guess that's what a forum needs and what other searchers want to read even after years, right?
I'm German and know a lot about useless formalities - this seems like one of them. All I did was what you yourself write in your signature:Richard MacCutchan wrote: Use the best guess

There is no such thing. Each forum is dedicated to a different subject and peple who are interested in that subject will visit those forums in their own time. The site makes no guarantees about responses or their validity.

Hi
I have developed Window service in .Net 2010 and in that windows service we are using Word COM object to covert DOC to PRN file.
if i run the window service in my local its working fine, but if i deploy the window service in Server 2008 R2 server i am getting below mentioned error, (Server 2008 R2 server Word 2003 is installed)
There is insufficient memory. Save the document now. (C:\...\ACL-PhillipSholar_1482.doc)
source Microsoft Word [System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException]
at Word.Documents.Open(Object& FileName, Object& ConfirmConversions, Object& ReadOnly, Object& AddToRecentFiles, Object& PasswordDocument, Object& PasswordTemplate, Object& Revert, Object& WritePasswordDocument, Object& WritePasswordTemplate, Object& Format, Object& Encoding, Object& Visible, Object& OpenAndRepair, Object& DocumentDirection, Object& NoEncodingDialog, Object& XMLTransform)
If any one know how to resolve the issue, Please let me share your fix.

Is it a 64 bit server? It may be an issue with that.

hi
i have a question about help file button and f1 keydown property in c#.
can we have in a form help button and keydown property about help(with press F1 key) ?
i use the following commands for the key :
-------------------------------------------
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
{
Help.ShowHelp(this, "Help.chm");
}
and for the help button:
-----------------------------
Help.ShowHelp(this, "Help.chm");
But only one of the two methods are working the other one activated when start other one method.
for example if when i press F1 key is activated the help file then if i press the help button will work too but if i close the running program and i will start again and press help button without press f1 key before then the button does not working.

I have an application in C# which launches remote desktop for user in our control room to various remote machines. the problem I am having is the need the windows shrank to a tiny window and to scroll all the way to the left and about 5 click down. I cannot find anything in the wild that shows how you can control the scrollbar of an external application any help would be great

I am writing a new C# 2010 desktop application. This application will allow users to select a file from a specific directory location. I am wondering is there anything in a windows application called 'type ahead' feature? Basically
the user will stat typing a few letters and all the files in a selected directory path will appear. (I am asking this question since this feature is available in web applications.)
If there is this type of a feature, can you tell me what this feature is? In addition can you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will tell me how use the 'type ahead' feature?

public void Foo(Bar bar)
{
if (bar== null)
{
bar = new Bar();
}
}
--- or ---
public void Foo(Bar bar)
{
bar = bar ? new Bar();
}
Which do you think is better?
[Edit]
Thanks all for your help. I opted for 1 (it was the original code so I know it'll make it through the code review) and easier for newer devs to understand. I might drop the {}.

I prefer the first one. I only use ? or ?? in places where an if isn't allowed.
But I'd probably throw an Exception in the case you show.
|
|
|
|
|
The first one is more readable. The second one is probably more performent?
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Probably not. Under the comvers, it still comes down to an if statement that the compiler is going to optimize any way it sees fit.
|
|
|
|
|
It probably doesn't matter as the compiler will optimise it to the best case. However, I would choose the first for readability and maintainability.

Why is "??" bad for readability/maintainability?
|
|

|

I never said it was, just that I would choose the first option.

You logically implied it.
If you choose option 1 over option 2 "because readability/maintainability", there has to be something wrong with the readability/maintainability of option 2.

No I didn't, I merely said what my preference was. That in no way implied anything about option 2, except that it was my second choice.

Actually you did, even if you didn't intend to.

No, you did. Look, you said "I would choose the first for readability and maintainability".
You can only make that choice for that reason if you believe the first to have better readability and maintainability. Thus by symmetry, the other thing must have worse readability and maintainability.

|
|
|

No, I did not. I know exactly what I said, and I cannot help it if you choose to believe that I said something else.

I don't choose to believe you said something else, I quoted you exactly. Evidently I'm reading something into it that you didn't intend, but I just proved my point while you keep saying the equivalent of "lol nope".

No, you are trying to tell me what my words meant. I am telling you that your assumptions are wrong. Why do you continue to insist that you know better than me what I meant? You are rapidly going down the troll road.

Look I'm getting tired of this as well, so I'll just reword my question: could you explain why you feel that the first method has better readability and maintainability, please?
But really, accusing me of trolling was uncalled for. I did my best to be as civil as possible, explaining my point and all, and you're still just telling me "lol nope".

I don't. I insist that the words you wrote do not unambiguously convey what you intended to convey.
