• Rajesh Ladda Where are the Windows Forms controls equivalents?

  Hi, I was wondering if we are going to see equivalents of the Windows Forms Controls and Windows Forms capabilities in WPF. Although WPF seems impressive, it lags the Windows Forms power and its also counteractive. Lambros Vasiliou wrote: I can understand what you say but lets keep in mind that 3rd party controls cost a lot. With the present windows forms controls, great applications can be developed with no 3rd party components. I hope this release isnt the best of WPF otherwise I see a lot of people staying to Windows Forms. Myself I wont be moving to WinFX until it "matures" and I surely hope the final release of .NET 3.0 WPF will be as powerful as .NET 2.0 WinForms. That's ...Show All

• ACCOUNTINGONLINE.US Bitmaps on a toolbar

  I admit to being very frustrated right now. Will Expression ever be a useful WYSIWYG tool, or even a text editor as useful as notepad I am editing XAML in VS2005 right now, and using Expression merely as a preview. I have three panes in my app, and I can only edit one in Expression. Anyhow, that's my rant. Right now, I cannot work out how to put a bitmap into my app as a resource so I can add it to a toolbar I hope this is what you were looking for <DockPanel Name = " MainToolBar " Height = " Auto " HorizontalAlignment = " Left " Margin = " 0,30,0,0 " MinHeight = " 30 " MinWidth = " 640 " VerticalAlignment = " Top " Width = " Au ...Show All

• Strini Cannot Debug in VS2005

  I cannot launch the debugger in VS2005. I have a solution with numerous projects (1 C#, the rest VB). Whenever I run the solution and hit a break point, I get a message saying that Visual Studio has encountered an internal error. I have sent multiple error reports to Microsoft about this. This also happens when I just try and single step into the solution. Everything in the solutions builds fine and runs fine, until I try and use the debugger. I am running Windows XP (SP2) with a dual-core processor. I read some posts online that recommend setting up your startpage and I did that. I also set the project to run on x86 CPU and I am still having the same issue. Another developer in my environment can debug the exact same solution and the prim ...Show All

• vdv_phuong Help search problem

  A few days ago I installed .NET framework 3.0, Windows SDK, and the Visual Studio extension. The development works ok, but searching in the help does not work. Whatever I ask to search for, the number of hits in the local help is 0. The "Contents", though, is OK - I can see all chapters and sections related to developing .NET 3.0 applications. Just so that I am clearly understood, there is a section "Get started using Windows Presentation Foundation". I can open this section and navigate through the links in the page. If I search for exactly these words: "Get started using Windows Presentation Foundation", I get 0 hits in the local help!!! Can I somehow update or link the new help to the help of my Visua ...Show All

• RayClark096 November CTP: MRefBuilder /internal+ is ignored

  The MRefBuilder command line option "/internal+" no longer works. Is this a bug or is there a new way to enable documentation of private and internal members Eric Eric, There is no change in functionality. The only thing we added was the ability in MrefBuilder.config to rip Namespace, Types and members. There is a sample provided under comments in MrefBuilder.config.

• Pockey How to catch .net 2003/5 solution tree drag and drop event

  I am using EnvDTE to build an addin for .net 2003/2005. I am trying to catch the drag and drop event of the solution tree for both file items and folders. From the EnvDTE module, I can't find anything which is really useful to do this.

Please help on this. Thanks very much.

• rsraos WPF Contextmenu for notifyicon

  I've searched everywhere but there doesn't seem to be any NotifyIcon for wpf, all the results i've found says "use the old windows.forms one instead" Does this also mean that you can't use the WPF contextmenu for this notifyicon You can of course not assign a WPF contextmenu to the old notifyicon's Contextmenu-property but is there any hacks that can move a wpf contmenu into position and put it on top so it looks and behaves just like an old contextmenu that is assigned to the notifyicon I've also read that as soon as you add windows-forms references to your wpf-assembly the program will start running in software-mode. Is that true Because if it does there seems to be no way to get notifyicons for wpf-apps. I ne ...Show All
