design an Multi Level Organizational structure?
I have been searching on the web for some time now and I can't
seem to find anything at all.

Thanks in advance.

Get objects casted type. Possible? [Get objects casted type. Possible?]

ilya — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 14:39:19 GMT

Not sure if anyone ever tried but I am currently working on a piece
of functionality in my application and what I want to try to
do is perform different set of logic if the type
that I am working with can figure out what type it was casted into.
For example:

1) I have a User type and it has ID and Username properties.
2) I have a Person type inheriting from User but it also has it's own
ID property and Firstname. The ID property is being initialized
with a new tag.

What I want to be able to do is when I create my Person class
and I try to access it's ID property I would get the value that was
assiged to it. But when the object get's casted into a User type
I want to be able to get the value that is assiged to the ID property
of the User type. But the trick is that I want to be able to figure this
logic out from inside the User type.

The problem is that if I say inside the User type this.GetType() and
the object that i am dealing with is a Person it will always tell me
that it is a Person type.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Visual Studio 2003 SP1 ??When?? [Visual Studio 2003 SP1 ??When??]

ilya — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 13:15:18 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone knew as to when Microsoft is actually planning to release the promissed SP1 for Visual Studio 2003.
I have seen a lot of articles say that the RTM date is set for 6/1/2006 and I have been checking both the Subscriber downloads on MSDN subscription and anywhere else I could to see if it's released but to no avail.

Does anyone know anything about this?
Does anyone care about this SP?

My VS2003 crashes on me constantly when I try to attach to process in order to debug it and I have to re-load my solution all the time. Does anyone know of any fixes for this?

Thanks

ConfigurationSection question [ConfigurationSection question]

ilya — Mon, 15 May 2006 04:56:41 GMT

    I am trying to create a custom Configuration Section that will have this kind
of an xml representation

<CustomSection>
<Objects>
    <Object type="sometype">
      <Property name="someproperty" anotherAttribute="somevalue"/>
      <Property name="someproperty" anotherAttribute="secondvalue"/>
    </Object>
    <Object type="sometype">
      <Property name="someproperty" anotherAttribute="somevalue"/>
      <Property name="someproperty" anotherAttribute="secondvalue"/>
    </Object>
</Objects>
</CustomSection>

The problem that I am having is that I am not able to create the "Property"
level collection, everything else is getting created and written out, but the
Property elements are not being rendered out to the config file.
If anyone has ever ran across this type of issue, any help would be greatly
appriciated.

Thanks,

Ilya

LCD Monitor vs Plasma/LCD TV? [LCD Monitor vs Plasma/LCD TV?]

ilya — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 23:23:13 GMT

I don't know if anyone heard, but Dell has recenty released their 30" LCD Widescreen.
The question that I have is would it be a good idea to build a Windows Media Center PC with the 30" LCD Monitor from dell and use it instead of a Plasma or LCD TV.

What are the Pros and the Cons for doing this?
I want to be able to record shows on from my Cable TV and play them back and also watch regular DVD's.
And since this is going to be an actual computer even play games on it.
Also what would be some good hardware specs for a good computer like this.

Thanks

Event disposal [Event disposal]

ilya — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 15:56:56 GMT

If I create a BaseObject and I declare some events inside of that object that people can subscribe to and then I call a dispose method, will this object be disposed? or do I have to unhook the events first and then the object will be disposed?

If I have to dispose the events first what is the best way of unhooking the events from the BaseObject and make sure that all inheriting classes that have events will also unhook their events if they have custom events?

Thanks,

Ilya

Generics + Indexers? [Generics + Indexers?]

ilya — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 16:07:47 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to have indexers in a collection that uses Generics and returns something from the collectionbase that internally holds objects.
The problem that i am having is that when i try to return the object by doing base[index] I get a cast error since I can't cast an object to T

Example:

public class TestList<T>:CollectionBase
{
   public T this[index]
   {
      //this will cause an error
      get{return base[index]}
      //This will also cause an error since as keyword cannot be used
      get{return base[index] as T;}
   }
}

Thanks,

Ilya
