• Visual Studio Enumeration values not appearing in Sandcastle output

  My Sandcastle-generated output does not list the member values of Enumerations. I've tried using both the "AddOverloads" transform and the "ApplyVSDocModel" transform. Is there something I need to change in the configuration to get them to appear Rob, In VS2005 documentation we did not list the member values for Enumerations. IMHO this is a poor design decision on our part. The "prototype" transforms released as a part of Sandcastle was supposed to address this limitation. We have not done this yet. We have a work item opened to fix this for our next drop. I will keep you updated. Anand.. ...Show All

• Visual Basic accessing information in an opend word document

  I am trying to create an application that will open a Microsoft Word document then be able to access what the user types in to it. I'm using visual studio 2005. I have opened the document in two different ways; using the shell method and creating a new variable as a process, but once the word document is open, I cannot figure out how to access it's information. If anyone knows how to make the ms word application save, copy/paste, or knows a way for my application to access its information let me know. I've created the application once using a RichTextBox built in to my application, but my client (I'm a college intern in over my head in software development) prefers to enter the data in MS Word. Any replies are appreciated ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListView not displaying images from ImageList in VS2005

  I am experiencing a very strange problem with a ListView. Here is the situation: on a Windows Form in VB.NET windows application I have a ListView control and an ImageList component. The ImageList component has been populated with eight (8) images and it is assigned to the SmallImageList property of the ListView control. The ListView is manually, i.e. during design-time, populated with ten (10) items and each one of them is assigned a value for its ImageIndex property corresponding to one of the images in the ImageList component. So far so good. When my application was in VS.NET 2003 it worked just fine, i.e. the images displayed correctly. However, after I converted to VS2005 the images are not displayed in run-time. In design time th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I disable resizing in applications?

  I want to disable the ability to resize or maximize my applications. What code do I put in the program, and under what class (form load, etc.) Thanks To set a form as not resizeable set the BorderStyle ( FormBorderStyle ) to something appropriate: to display a non-resizeable form it would be set to FixedDialog . The 'resize' border on a form will not show, hinting that it isn't a resizable form: this is important for accessability reasons. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Earliest "Modern" Book for C++

  What is the earliest publish date I should consider when selecting C++ books for programming methodologies and practices I am told that much of the syntax I use is an "old style" of C++. I started learning C++ in the late 90's and, now that I'm getting back into it again, I need to know which books I have are considered current. Most of the book I have are published in 2000. So when is C++ considered "current " Thanks. Two good books that I consider "modern" are "Accelerated C++" and "Modern C++ Design" - but you should note that the published date is not a good indicator of a books quality - there are a lot of "modern" C++ books that are reall ...Show All

• .NET Development C# Client Socket -> How to get "All" incoming data, and build the file from the byte array(s)

  I have an app running a socket that sends a file (image.bmp) as a byte array, I only can chek for the new line at the end of the file, so my question is how to dynamicaly buid my byte[] to the correct size as all the data is coming in Note: I have Zero control over the server side, all I have to work with is the known port '49100' and the general specification's. Stating: When communicating over Ethernet, the device uses the following predefined ports. The device establishes connections as a Server and, therefore, listens for Host clients to initiate the connection on a particular port. Any number of clients can connect to the device, each one with their private peer-to-peer connection. TCP 49100 User format configurable TCP ba ...Show All
