• Visual Basic Debugging

  I have tried to access the Command Window while debugging a simple vb program. When I type >cmd In the Immediate window I get the error message "Command "View.CommandWindow" is not valid".

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is .NET 3.0 RTM supposed to work on Windows 2003 Server?

  I started a similar thread on Channel 9 , but on Rob Relyea's suggestion I'm moving it here. Here's my orginal question: I downloaded .NET 3.0 RTM today and installed it on my Windows 2003 Server development server. I tried double clicking on a XAML file and the system went nuts: the screen flashed, the mouse kept moving to the center and corners of the screen, etc...  It looked like my machine was taken by the Indigo/Avalong ghost...  Finally I had to bring up task manager and kill IE. I tried multiple times, with different XAML files.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing, downloading the fast installer and the full re-distributable (50 MB).  No luck - WPF just doesn't seem to work.

• Smart Device Development Find Key number pressed?

  using .NET CF 2.0 SP1 WM5 I am wondering if there is a way I can check to see what keypad key has been pressed on the Main Form Kepress event The keypress arg will only give me the keychar pressed, but I am wondering if I can find out from this what the actual key was pressed Is there a way I can find out I want to be able to still handle this event when the user presses the key. Thanks! I tried this before but does not work on the smartphone device :( For example if we press key number 1 on the smartphone device, there is no enum for "1" in Keys and the match "if((e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.D1)){ }" fails.   When I look at the e argument/parameter, it ALWAYS (no matter which key I press) ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista batching : IPendingWork.Commit

  MSDN Says : " The workflow runtime engine calls the Commit method when its semantics dictate that the pending work in the work batch should be committed . When it reaches a commit point, the workflow runtime engine calls the Commit method on each IPendingWork object in its work batch; the workflow runtime engine passes the Commit method the collection of items associated with that IPendingWork object. Either all of the work in a batch succeeds or none of it succeeds. You should throw an exception if any of the work items passed to the Commit method in your implementation cannot be committed. Depending on your implementation, you may want to perform some rollback in your Commit method if it cannot commit its work items. If th ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Anyone know what the prototype pinvoke for checking disk space looks like?

  Thanks! Mobile devices are not usually disk-based and as such, the file system is does not follow a disk-volume-partition pattern and that's why file system references do not include a drive identifier. That is, files and folders are referenced as \My Documents\Somefile.txt rather than C:\My Documents\Somefile.txt. In place of a disk-based file system, storage is provided by volatile and non-volatile flash memory. Bearing this in mind, the correct question is not how much disk space is free, but how much memory is free. The Win32 API which you can use to query the free and allocated memory is GlobalMemoryStatus. In C#, this is declared as follows: [DllImport("coredll.dll")] public static extern void GlobalMemoryStatus(out ...Show All
