• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Alias in LINQ?

  How about allowing the use of alias in LINQ I have a blog and I'd like to get the number of comments for each post. Printing post.Comments.Count will query the database for each post, and will pull the post's comments. This is unneeded and a situation I want to prevent. I can't use an anonymous type because this is a set of posts I return from a method: IEnumerable<Post> GetPosts() { ... } I thought maybe I could extend the partial Post class with a property named CommentCount, and assign a value in the LINQ query: from p in db.Posts select p,p.CommentCount = p.Comments.Count() Then the count will be inside the query. Thanks! Thanks! However, var q= from t in db.Tag ...Show All

• .NET Development How to indentify a managed exe or dll.

  What's the best way to identify a managed exe or dll so one knows what debugging interface to use. Thanks. - Dan.

GetRequestedRuntimeVersion() returns S_OK but the version string is empty when a you call it with a not running non managed code exe. If I load an exe into Visual Studio and press F5 is that how it determines what debugging interface to use - Dan. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Card Generator Issues

  I've been trying to write a basic Texas Hold'em program. Anyway, everytime I run this code I get the same card twice over. My guess is that maybe there's no change in the system clock during this time, so the same card is generated. I haven't gotten to the point where I allow a single card to be used only once. I wasn't sure if it was necessary. Could someone please look over the code and verify Also if I'm not in the right forum could someone move this to the right one, or direct me to the right forum. - JJ /* Header: iostream Reason: Input/Output stream Header: stdlib Reason: For functions rand and srand Header: time.h Reason: For function time, and for data type time_t Header: cstring Reason: For strings ...Show All

  Every time I add a numericupdn control (or any control for that matter) I get the following error. This is in VSTO for a word document. I'm adding the control into a table cell.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SqlMetal - Templating the generated code

  I've been playing with SqlMetal and wondered if your planning to allow developers to control what sort of code is generated For example if your using a framework like CSLA you'll need to put code in specific places in the properties on the "entities", I'd like to do that inside Visual Studio rather than having to buy/use something like Codesmith for it. ...Show All

• Community Chat Redirecting windows messages to a control.

  When you use the mouse scrollwheel it is the control that has focus that will get the message and process it. This is not always what you want it to do. For instance in a windows explorer scenario, you expect it to scroll the control the mouse is over so even if an item is selected in the listview and you hover over the treeview and scroll it you should still have focus on the selected item in the listview.   With a messagefilter the scrollwheel messsage can be captured, cancelled and redirected to the control that you want should get the message. Without changing the focus of the controls.   In windows forms you usually have few ways to handle windows messages before the controls events get raised. One way ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and issue with TrackPopupMenu(Win32) within ActiveX-control

  Hello. I have a trouble with calling win32-function TrackPopupMenu from ActiveX in new Interner Explorer 7 (RC1 and all betas). The situation is: I have some ActiveX-control - "MyPopupMenu". This control is being used to show context popup menu. To do it, it used win32 function from winuser.h. There's an issue with one of them - TrackPopupMenu. Control has worked fine in IE6, but in IE7 it doesn't. When TrackPopupMenu is called in non-dialog window, nothing happens! There's no popup menu (it was constructed by calling CreatePopupMenu and InsertMenuItem previously). But popup menu still works fine in dialog windows (ones that created in script by window.showModalDialog). Can anybody help me THX. I was also ...Show All
