So, Where's the Book?

by via William (Bill) Vaughn on 6/1/2006 9:54:42 PM

I get that a lot. Most folks know that I've been holed up working on the latest Hitchhiker's Guide . This (7th) edition was not a minor update like several of the earlier versions--I started from a blank slate over a year and a half ago. Sure, I couldn't really start building test and example applications until Whidbey shipped. I think it's a phenomenal waste of time to write "beta" books that have the shelf life of a roman candle on the 4th of July.

Lambdas, Closures, Currying, and All That

by brianbec via Brian Beckman on 6/1/2006 9:04:00 PM

Behind the scenes, I’m working on the lambda-execution mode for the IQ97. I’m hoping for a few tweaks to VB and LINQ before I can do this satisfactorily, but I can take the opportunity now—with the current CTP —to illustrate the general technique of defining functions with lambda and what I hope it might look like in VB some time down the road. This exercise raises a number of interesting technical issues: in particular, closures —environments for free variables, and currying —v ... [ read more ] 3 comment(s)

LabelProvider

by Robert Verpalen via VB & .NET Blogs @ vbCity.com on 6/1/2006 11:33:00 AM

For the description of most controls we use labels and I for one don't like to add a label manually for each control. Been using a component that paints values, but never got around to put it in a nice coat and with design time support up until now. The design time being the most work (although greatly alleviated by finding out how to use the isComplete parameter of the InstanceDescriptor ;-) ), the component is easy in use and deployment. Usage: drop it to your form (or container control) and ... [ read more ] 2 comment(s)

InstanceDescriptor and the isComplete parameter

by Robert Verpalen via VB & .NET Blogs @ vbCity.com on 6/1/2006 8:29:00 AM

This is just a summary of how I overlooked this silly little thing that could have made my designer workings so much easier in the past: how to use the InstanceDescriptor (returned by a TypeConverter) to create a variable inside InitializeComponent and set the properties of that variable, instead of having to set everything inside the constructor. All that was needed, is to set that last parameter (isComplete) to false. It's so incredible simple and effective, I still can't believe how I ... [ read more ] 1 comment(s)

Windows Error Reporting in Vista

by geoff via Geoff Appleby on 6/1/2006 4:19:00 AM

Windows Error Reporting seems to have been improved in Vista. At least, it looks a lot nicer - although maybe it's just the glass stuff :) One thing they know how to do is call a spade a spade, it seems. This evening I was running a modification to my Office2007 install, and at the same time I tried to start a game - the end result was a bluescreen, quickly followed by a reboot. When I logged back in, Windows Error Reporting kicked in and told me that something had gone wrong, and woul ... [ read more ]
