• Windows Forms All Controls disappear from [Designer] and more...

  Hi all, Currently i have a problem with the designer, below is my case: I have total 2 projects in a Solution just namely A and B . While i'm focusing on B project, and come back to the A project. I found that all controls in one of the form (occasionally is the main form) [design] in that project (A) did not load. I shocked and found out that some of the A form's properties value also being set to blank or default, such as: Form's Text become blank , Load event value become blank , WindowState value that used to be Maximized also become Normal . I checked the A.Designer.cs . Luckily, everything is still the same (i suppose). Tried to run it, and breakpoint it. The program did go through the A.Designer.cs, but those ...Show All

• Visual C# Move to a next window after pressing a button

  Hi, Basically, the title says it all. How can i move to a next window after pressing a button. I'm trying to make a calculator. Thanks in advance! well, if I undrestand correctly, you wish to open another window in your application correct (another form) if so, simply create an instance of it and show it to the user. Example: Form2 theSecondForm = new Form2(); theSecondForm.Show(); //or: theSecondForm.ShowDialog(); the showdialog() puts the form in question into the model dialog meaning that the previous forms opened are not accessible until this form is closed and only then can you access the other forms as well as continuing execution of code. Is this what you are after ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Contains operator for WorkItem HTML fields and substrings

  I have an HTML field in my work item (Steps to reproduce). I want to query for items that contain a certain string in the field. I am finding that the query will find whole words only, but no substrings. For an example, the field contains the word 'testing'. If a create a query that looks for a work item that contains the string 'test' in the Steps to reproduce field I will get an empty result (using the Contains operator). I have to have the exact word in order to get a result. It looks like capitalization does not matter and the word has to be at least two characters long.

• Visual Studio Moving VSS Query

  Hi all, I'm runnnig VSS 6.0 for source control but not quite family with all the available functions. Basically, two VSS databases have been setup on in two different servers. It has been a while I check in files into the first one, whilst the other one is totally new. I was wondering if I can point to the new VSS database from the same working folder to check in files into it Not sure if I would mess everything up. Please advise. Thanks TM You can, but the two servers won't know about each other. For example, a file that's checked out on Server1 will simply appear as a writable file to Server2. If you rename files then things will get even more confused. I'd recommend not doing this unless ...Show All

• SQL Server Missing "Foreach File Enumerator and Foreach Item Enumerator"

  Ever since installing SQL Server 2005 SP1, when using the Foreach Loop container in SSIS the Foreach File Enumerator and Foreach Item Enumerator are missing from the Enumerator drop down box. Anyone else seen this issue and know how to fix it thanks Eric My problem is the same, but the cause is not clear. When I run the C# code, I get the following two keys as rogues: {5ED60779-4DE2-4E07-B862-974CA4FF2E9C}: {bad19576-066d-4093-bbde-9c84e43587da}, which dont appear to be related either to lexmark or to macromedia flash.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Test Case 1 - embedded manifests and MSIs

I can verify that the manifest is being embedded into the executable that I am building but when I create an msi, using a standard setup project, and install it, the executable no longer has the manifest. Do I need to run mt on the .msi Is the execuable being placed in the .msi before the post build events Or is there just something wrong with my setup project I'm actually having the same issue with my digital signature.
