• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare Problem #2

  I have noticed that when I compare a Database to a Project, and as a result of the compare, objects need to be deleted out of the Project, the objects are never deleted. I can run the compare process over and over again, the same objects show up to be deleted, I will click on Write Updates button to update my project (which should delete the objects), but the objects are never removed. Is this a known issue Or am I doing something wrong Amos. As an FYI for anyone that might be following this thread, we are addressing the performance issue in another thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1106601&SiteID=1&PageID=0 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions scrolling panel as text expands

  Hi all, I'm using a panel to display text using the e.Graphics.DrawString function... Unfortunately, the amount of text that I will be displaying is bound to vary, and as such, I need my panel to scroll as needed. Of course I have the autoscroll property set to true, but when more text is added to the panel that can be displayed (ie, i need to use a vertical scrollbar), a scrollbar doesn't appear, and I can't view all of the text. Does anyone know how I can make the panel scroll appropriately as needed Thanks so much Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks again -Robert The scroll bars only appear when a control is placed on the panel outside the visible area. Even if you could make the bar appear you would have to handle all t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cyclic relations design

  Can DLinq support a type having a m:1 and a 1:1 relation with another type while storing the data I'd take the simple example two types : Team, Member. The team has a property referencing a collection of members and also a property referencing the team leader (of type member). In fact, this second relation could be considered a 1:m relation to occult the complexity of one to one relations. Anyway, the problem we have here is the FK, let's assume we accept Null values for these. How should it be implemented using DLinq I ran a few tests and ended up with the conlusion that I had to go step by step. In ou example : 1. Create the Team. 2. Add the members to Team.Members 3. SubmitChange. 4. Assign the team leader : Team.Leader = Members ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Visual Studio Express and WPF

  Can you use Visual Studio Express Editions to create XAML/WPF apps I do have netfx3 downloaded but not installed. Am using XP Home edition at the moment. Yes, however you will be missing the functionality of cider on express skus. You can install the VS Extensions for .Net Framework 3 on top of Express editions. "Cider" the visual designer for WPF is the only part I'm aware of those extensions that won't work on the Express editions. With the express edition of VB or VC#, you will be able to have: xaml editing with xaml intellisense in the xml editor project and item templates for wpf projects and items (page, window, etc...)

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I cant install

  I downloaded everything, SP2, VC++ 5 and XNA, but I cant install XNA. It says that I need to download and install VC 2005, but I did that, I can run VC and do everything with it, but cant install XNA. Whats going on Esper, I would recommend re-downloading the installer and using the new one. It just looks like a few bits got corrupted during the download. If the problem persists, please report this issue on the Connect site (check out this thread here for how to go about that). Hopefully just re-downloading the installer clears this up for you and you can get cracking on that game. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 - File Not Found ieframe.dll\1

  Hello, After upgrading to IE7, all of my programs with the "Microsoft Internet Controls" (i.e. Webbrowser) are breaking when I load them in code (compiled still works though). I get the following error: "File Not found 'C:\Windows\system32\ieframe.dll\1' However, if i look in my references, all I can find that is there is the reference to shdocvw.dll, no ieframe dll. If I open a new project and add the controls, then I get the same error. To me there is something broken between the two. The strange thing is, it worked fine yesterday. I don't have my computer set to do automatic updates and I didn't do any updates last night. Anyone else having this issue Regards, Ryan Sam ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom rendering of out-of-the-box activities

  I am trying to customize the Workflow monitor application so that it shows the activity description instead of the activity name. I modified the code for the IDesignerGlyphProvider OnPaint and acheived partial success and I am wondering if there is a better way to achieve that goal. What I meant by partial success is that I had to do lots of calculations to draw on the surface of the activity. I thought things could have been easier if the user has one of the following the options 1- A designer property – let’s say a Boolean UseDescription -- to allow the developer to render the Activity.Description instead of Activity.Name Or 2- An OnPaint event that gets fired for each a ...Show All
