Hi Bob, I've just installed Alpha 4 over the top of Alpha 3 and got an error message near the end after I had confirmed that I wanted the existing template...
Hi Bob, One other observation is about the Helper, Helper 2 and Master .NET interfaces. When I create a project from the new templates the references created...
That's a good idea - a sensible default could be valuable in providing naming guidance and should certainly not contain any inadvisable characters such as '<'...
Unfortunately, in trying to make things simple, the end result is often more complex. This is why I avoid Visual Basic. Too much happens automatically behind...
But it's MS, so it IS standard - according to Bill. (growl - I hate that attitude) Thank you very much, William Boyer EDS - GM/Global Develop Product -...
I think that as Matthias is the only person to come forward with this, and his was the original implementation of the draft standard, then we ought to use it. ...
Peter -- ... Hmm. I can't repro that one. Check to see that C:\Program Files\Common Files\ASCOM\Rotator\RotatorSimulatorServedClasses folder exists, and that...
We (Microsoft partners) refer to it as 'being fully Borg'. You can either waste your life being bitter about Microsoft, or you can engage with them and try,...
Further -- I cannot make the Rotator Sim fail during installation or thereafter. I just completely uninstalled alpha 4, downloaded the alpha 4 MSI from the...
Matthias and Tim -- I ended up using the IDL file given to me by Jim Moronski, who developed the drivers for Finger Lakes Instruments. These have been...
Tim -- ... I didn't know I had control over this... Maybe I should look deeper at the .vstemplate file and its schema. SO much to learn, so many corners to...
Yeah I know. And the more you look, the more there is to learn. Part of me really likes that, the other part is horrified at the amount of stuff you need to...
... Yeah, probably... but hindsight is wonderful, eh? I did have the ProgID attribute in the early templates and decided to remove it for simplicity in making...
Tim -- Is there a way to associate methods? I was playing with class diagrams for the new ASCOM web site, and found that you can associate (by value or...
Yes, and I already made a PNG version available. But vector formats are always better than raster formats, in my book. The point is, I made it available in CD...
... Indeed... and this is what concerned me a few years about making .NET the "tool of choice" for driver development. Now we don't much have much of a choice....
I think the arrows are meant to imply inheritance. Since merely using something is not the same as inheriting from it, I think you'll be confusing the issue if...
... Goodness, Tim... All I was saying is that the diagram should be maximally accessible to people who might be interested, me included, and that the tool ...
Actually, having tried what you suggested, I see what you mean. But I don't think it adds anything to the clarity for my intended purpose (which was as a quick...
Sorry if that came across as a bit snarky, but sometimes being public spirited turns out to be way too much trouble. --T. ... From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com...
... Better yet ... I changed ProvideDefaultName to false, and now the wizard shows <Enter Name> in the project name field. Any attempt to blindly accept THAT ...
... You can ... This is a very sad attitude. VS.2005 has a long way to go before being an acceptable development environment for anything other than small...
OK, apparently this problem only occurs when installing Alpha 4 over Alpha 3. I will try to figure out why. For now, if you have the problem, please uninstall...
Hi Bob, I had the same experience at work as I did at home wrt the components aparently not installing properly. I can reporduce the problem by uninstalling...
One of the things about Microsoft products is that they always provide a platform, rather than just a product. So, if you don't like their IDE, you can always...
Hi Tim, As you say, Microsoft is providing a platform so I think it should at least be useable in a sizeable project. :-) VS2003 was great but VS2005 is really...
