System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox user changes selection event

2009-04-24T12:25:00.001-07:00

Recently I found a very exciting thing in System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox that I want to share. There is a special event for handling selection changes done by user. If you want to capture user changes do not use SelectedIndexChanged or SelectedValueChanged events, cause those events are also raised when the selection changes programmatically. SelectionChangeCommitted is raised only when the

Why does delete[] exist?

2008-06-18T13:20:00.019-07:00

I would like to clarify the existence of special destruction operator for arrays, delete[] in C++.Operator delete[] is used to destroy dynamically allocated arrays which are created using new[]. But why not have just one version of delete which determines on its own whether the object it is destroying is an array of objects or an individual. When we are allocating memory using new operator the

Use /MT[d] or /MD[d]?

2008-03-24T08:12:00.015-07:00

Visual Studio 2005 C++ introduces new /MT[d] and /MD[d] compiler options. The single-threaded CRT (libc.lib, libcd.lib) (formerly the /ML or /MLd options) are no longer available. Instead, multithreaded CRT has been added. /MD causes application to use the multithread- and DLL-specific version of the run-time library. Applications compiled with this option are linked to MSVCRT.lib. This

Purifier - Detecting and Isolating Memory Leaks

2007-07-03T22:40:00.004-07:00

The ability to dynamically allocate and deallocate memory is one of the strongest features of C/C++ programming, but the greatest strength can also be the greatest weakness. This is certainly true of C/C++ applications, where memory-handling problems are among the most common bugs. One of the most subtle and hard-to-detect bugs is the memory leak — the failure to properly deallocate memory that
