• Visual C++ Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta - error C2244

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Skins/Themes

  I want my users to be able to customize my program through xaml-files. I've seen that this is possible in WPF in some Login-example(found here[1]).

• Windows Forms Update tables using stored procedures

• Visual Studio How to create a IVsUIHierarchy object?

  Hallo i finally created a ui hierarchy tool window and i can show it. I got its IVsUIHierarchyWindow interface. the only thing i need to do is to call the Init-method with an IVsUIHierarchy object. How can i get such a new object Is there anywhere a factory or do i have to implement it by myself (i can not belief it is this way). Thanks Benjamin Hi Benjamin, That is indeed correct. There is no generic IVsUIHierarchy implementation that you can reuse. Each project system implements it's own, as does the server explorer. For managed code, you can leverage the ...VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Source\Project sources. For native (C++) packages, there is the VSL headers (see the Reference.ExtensibilityExplo ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I make update version for application which was signed with certificate now expired?

  If I change expired code signing certificate to new one and publish updated application, client will fail to launch. And code signing fails if I try to use expired certificate. How can I make update version for application signed with old certificate Same problem for us, except we just updated our server databases, updated our web methods, published the new version of our product, and Booooom.... Crash and burn! This should be Microsofts #1 priority NOW, because as of monday, everyone of our customers will have to uninstall and re-install because of this. We can't avoid that, too short notice, but we certainly won't trust clickonce anymore unless this sees a speedy fix. Unbelievable blunder from MSFT. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Update a form

  I have the main form Form1 and I start Form2 to add an item to Form1. How can I update Form1 when I have selected the item. you shouldnt use Equals() but the operator == instead as I had suggested. I had also suggested doing it this way:   if (theForm.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {    this.AddCheckBoxes(); } "theForm" being Form2 instance this is the correct way of doing this the way you are doing it is not correct as you are currently checking to see if the current form OK dialog matches the Form2 dialog result - not a good solution. What happens if your form dialog result changes Then the condition will not evaluate   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Check if key is control

  In Win Form .NET 2.0, KeyEventArgs have a property is KeyCode, and to check if user press a control key, I can use Char.IsControl(). But in Avalon, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs only have a property is Key, and its type is System.Windows.Input.Key. But I can't get the key code of that key, and to check if user press a control key or digit key is complex. I am a beginner in Avalon, can you give some solution. Thanks!

• .NET Development What is the 3.0 runtime going to look like?

  I'm looking at (and have installed) the RC1 of .NET 3.0 and it seems empty. Are LINQ, ADO.NET Entities, WCF, etc.. all shipping as individual libraries / downloads or is this just how it is for pre-release so each project can release betas as needed I've been looking around for a good explanation of "what versions of everything to download" and I haven't been able to find anything. Right now I can't seem to build ADO.NET Entity projects that use LINQ because of version dependency problems, and there seems to be a project-type in Visual Studio for each library I plan to use. What do I pick if I want to use multiple libraries I can understand keeping everything seperate during development but I would have expect ...Show All

• SQL Server Matrix Subtotals/Cells

  I've seen in a fex posts on this forum that it's at this moment not yet possible to create a dynamic matrix where for each cell i can calculate his row-percentage, his column-percentage. His total percentage can be done. A way i could still do this is to create another matrix that only holds the totals, but how can i reference a cell-value of a matrix from another field (If this can be done). KG. Harry. In the grouping scope parameter of the aggregate, you are specifying a value, "SdwOlap". What is this refering to Is this the name of the dataset or matrix If it is, then this explains why the totals are actually grand totals and not just the totals for the row. The aggregate is aggr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Hi Jeff, As some one who is a partner in a company (and lead developer) that produces enterprise high performance security applications, many of them in C#, I think you will be very surprised what you can do with C#. I develop in C++, C++/CLI (.net C++) and C#. C# is my favorite by far. While it certainly takes a lot of care and research to get the "barn burning" speed you can truly get out of C#. Once you know what to avoid and how to write performance critical apps in C#, you will only go back when you ...Show All
