Comment on P/Invoke Tutorial: Passing parameters (Part 3) by Shawn

Hi, it is really very nice tutorial about pinvoke, and very organized. Even if its C++ class/object, it can still be called using PInvoke. Please read PInvoke Interop SDK for C++ DLL, basically, you would be able to marshal anything from C++ to C# as long as they are exported from the C++ DLL.

Comment on PowerShell functions for the uninitiated (C# programmer) by Sebastian Krysmanski

Sebastian Krysmanski — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 11:49:22 +0000

If you store the return value of Start-Process in a variable, does this contain the output of the process? Or just its return value? I've not tried this situation (and am fairly new to PowerShell).

Comment on PowerShell functions for the uninitiated (C# programmer) by George

I am pulling my hair out trying to get an exit code out of a simple function I’ve written. Your explanation helps me understand WHY my function is not working as I want it to, but I can’t see a way out of this mess. My function uses Start-Process to call any arbitrary .exe. The exe may write to the console and thus generate arbitrary values which are returned. I capture the exit code from the exe and want to pass that back to the caller, but it, along with an arbitrarily long array of console output are returned. There doesn’t seem to be a predictable way to parse for just my return code. Like in your example, I want to capture that 42. Indeed the answer to life, the universe, and everything else!

Comment on Bookmark Separators in Google Chrome by James

This is extremely well implemented. The lack of this has been bothering me for some time since I switched from Firefox. Thanks very much!

Thanks a lot for this clear and coincise post…. The only small add I would suggest is to enable debug of unmanaged code from C#. To enable it the user should go to the “Debug” tab Check “Enable Unmanaged code debugging”. Best Regards

Comment on Bookmark Separators in Google Chrome by Sebastian Krysmanski

Sebastian Krysmanski — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:33:12 +0000

I totally agree. It’s actually the reason why I switched back to Firefox. The bookmarking system in general is just better with Firefox.

I am currently switch over from Firefox to Chrome right now. This is the nicest solution I have seen so far, thanks for putting it together!

Man, Google is lame for not including separators. Their logic isn’t valid at all…

Comment on Eclipse and the JDK under Mac OS X Lion by Chris O

Chris O — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:33:50 +0000

Very Helpful…

Also fun to note… 10.8.2 Mountain Lion does not have the “Installed Software” tab on the Software Update Pane.

So it was not very easy to find which version of Java I was actually running.
My solution was to find out the last date of the Apple Software update and then look on apple support page – http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572

Thank you again for the article.

Informative. I was trying to add a “int column” in DataGridView in C++/CLI but couldn’t find the alternative to typeof(int) in C#. which as stated here is int::typeid. Wonder why microsoft didn’t write this article.
