• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Web Page Components

  Hello All, I am a complete beginner with Web Pages!. With the help of various forums I have managed to get to a web page via a Sign In page (that is I can get my VBA code to fill in the username and password). The next page I get has some options on it. (Normally if I was to "hover" over them they get underlined, are these links .

• Windows Forms Datagrid index problem

  I have a master/child datagrid. Both grids are bound to dataviews. Everything works find until I introduce a rowfilter on the dataview for the master.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Text aliasing behavior on ScaleTransform

  Hello, I'm writing an app that allows the user to place arbitrary elements on a document surface and to zoom that surface to some arbitrary zoom level using a scrollbar. I figured WPF would be perfect for this, but I'm running into a few issues. First, some background: I've bound the Value of a Slider control to a property on my document view object. That property's setter takes the log of the slider value and sets the ScaleX and ScaleY values of a ScaleTransform which I've set as the RenderTransform for my document view. My document view is subclassed from Canvas. One of the stranger issues I'm having is the behavior of text anti-aliasing: when the user changes the zoom level by moving the slider the document view zooms appropriately. Ho ...Show All
