• Windows Forms menustrip on form resize

  Hi Techies, I am using menustrip on my windows application, i have created user control as header control for all forms. Inside that header control i have menustrip. While resizing the form,some of the menu is getting disappeared. For that menustrip should show the >> button like all other windows application, to see all those hidden menus. How can we do this. Thanx Hi, looks like overflowing doesn't work with MenuItems, which is weird. You can try setting your MenuStrip's Layout property to Flow to make your menu items stay visible even if form shrinks... If I find a better solution, I'll post here... Andrej ...Show All

• .NET Development String indexing

  Hi all, if there is any other means except hashtable by which we can do string indexing in .net framework. I want to use a collection in which key and value both are string. thanx in advance     A Dictionary<> is just a Generic implementation of a Hashtable, both have O(1) complexity for insertion and retrieval. That's as fast as you can go. However, neither have good locality; the CPU cache will not usually have the data available on retrieval. You might get better performance with another collection class, depending on usage patterns, but that's a long shot. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Font style not found issue/exception -- how can apps work with this problem?

  I have the following code (generated by the designer): this .panelTabs.Font = new System.Drawing. Font ( "Verdana" , 11.25F, System.Drawing. FontStyle .Regular, System.Drawing. GraphicsUnit .Point, (( byte )(0))); A user running our app gets the exception: ArgumentException: Font 'Verdana' does not support style 'Regular'. because the user's computer has all verdana font files but the "Regular" one. So he has bold, italics, etc files but does NOT have the "regular" font style. If all the verdana fonts are missing, Windows smartly does a font substitution. However, when certain style is missing, it does not seem to do it. How can I avoid this exceptioon without having to go through hundred ...Show All

• Visual Studio What's the best way to determine DSLs being used in a project?

  If there are multiple DSLs being used by a project, is there some way within DTE that will tell me whether or not a given ProjectItem is a DSL Thanks Hi Aaron, I'm not aware of anything that would get you this, but I've asked our deep VS SDK experts as finding out the editor that would run on a file in a project is more a general VS SDK issue than a DSL-specific one. I'll get back to you with what they tell me. ...Show All

• .NET Development POST unsaved document

  Hello. I need a helping hand to help me send an unsaved dokument through a POST call. I have added functionality to word and want to send a unsaved document through a POST call. This works fine when I try sending a saved document - refering to the path and using a filstream like this: FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(remoteFolder + filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); byte[] buffer = new byte[fileStream.Length]; fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, (int)buffer.Length); fileStream.Close(); memStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); One solution could be to tempsave the document - send it - then delete it from temp...
