• Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...

  Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU.

• Windows Forms DLU vs Pixels

  Hi, I'm reading some reference material I found on the net, they give a suggested distance for placing elements in the forms (example was a Dialog Box) for the apperance to look good and correct, the measurement they talk about is DLU (Dialog Box Units), and Visual Studio as far as I know handles pixels, is there a way to convert the units to DLU's or to be able to convert manually to the closest pixel range Example: 7 DLU = XXX Pixels or a formula to calculate the any given DLU to pixel and viceversa Any help would be appreciated. Thanks DLU's depend on the font used on the form. Quote from MSDN docs: " A DLU is based on the size of the dialog box font, normally 8-point MS Sans S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook, contact form

  In Outlook 2003, the information for a contact is shown in 5 tabs: General, details, activities, certificates, all fields. Can I use VSTO 2005 to add a 6th tab ( for example 'sales' which would show how much we have sold this particular contact) Or more in general: How do I customise the standard forms used by Outlook Many thanks for your help, Michel Hi Michel You can create as many as 6 tabs other than normal tabs.

• SQL Server Package Variables Not Available at Runtime

  Hello, I have three package variables that I need to have access to at runtime. All three variables have package scope. The first two, 'StartDate' and 'EndDate' are DateTime variables. The third is called FilePath and is a String variable. I have taken the following steps; 1. Enabled package configurations 2.

• Visual Studio VB Version Error: Subreport could not be shown

• Architecture pattern based code generation

  Hi Everybody, I need a tool which can generate pattern based C# code (for vs.net2005 if possible). Please pour in with your inputs. regards I though there was a recent announcement about making the Visual Studio 2005 SDK (which includes Domain Specific Languages) public. But, I was mistaken; only the Visual Studio 2005 SDK Documentation was made public. You have to register with the VSIP to download the SDK. Registration is free. It sounds more like Software Factories are what you want anyway. Software Factories with Visual Studio 2005 include The Guidance Automation Extensions (GAX) which "expands the capabilities of Visual Studio 2005 by allowing architects and developers to run guidanc ...Show All
