• Visual Studio Complex Business Objects

  I have a problem with my report. My desire is to create a report using a complex business object like this: Object +--ID +--Customer (this is an object) +--CustomerID +--CustomerName +--Items (this is a collection of objects) +--Item0 +--Item.ID +--Item1 +--Item.ID Is it possible to create a report with an header (containing ObjectId and CustomerName), and a document detail (containing the list of items) I have already seen the samples on gotreportviewer site, and I tried to use nested data regions (the recommended approach) but with spare results.

• Visual Studio Team System Event subscription filter - limited to System fields only?

  I'm trying to subscribe to a WorkItemChanged event with a filter expression that uses custom fields -- without success. I've been using Naren's handy tool from: http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/07/26/679440.aspx rather than bissubscribe.exe directly.

• Visual Basic Window Screenshots

  When you press Ctrl-Alt-Del (and then click Task Manager if you are using XP Pro), you can see a list of all the currently open windows, and whether they are responding or not. How can I write a program that acheives this same functionality Additionally, how can I get the window handle (hWnd) of each window The easiest way to do this from Managed code is to use the Process class. In particular, the static method Process.GetProcesses will return an array containing all the processes on the current machine. You can then determine if a process is "responding" by checking its responding property. You can then obtain the handle to the main window of each process using its MainWindowHandle property. The MainWindowHandle pro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Design Mode Question

  Hi There, I have lost the functionality in the Visual Studio 2005 design mode to use the arrow keys to "nudge" my form controls (e.g., textbox, etc.) around the workspace.

  Hello, I successfully created an Excel 2003 add-in using VSTO SE on VS2k5. When I run the app in debug mode, the add-in displays properly within Excel.

• Windows Forms Sample Code: DataGridView progress bar column

• Visual Studio Team System SharePoint Services Upgrade KB924881

  Microsoft has an update for Windows Sharepoint services ( KB924881 ). This fix addresses issues regarding 2007 Daylight Savings Time . Can someone tell me if I can apply this fix to my Team Foundation Server without it affecting TFS in any way. Thanks in advance, Dave Hi Dave, It might affect TFS (I haven't tried the patch so I don't know for sure). WSS patches have a habit of changing the port for the SharePoint Central Administration site. This means that you may not be able to create new projects after applying the patch (the Project Creation Wizard uses the central admin site and the url including the port number is stored in a TFS database table). This is pretty easy to fix, though you do have to modify a row in ...Show All

• Visual C# Calling Virtual Methods from Within Constructors

  [Reposted from .NET forum] I have an issue and I wonder if anyone has run into this. As I know, you cannot call virtual methods from within constructors safely, because the inherited class is not constructed at the time of base constructor invocation. However, I am creating a base class whose internal workings are sufficiently complex that I had to create a series of virtual functions that the inheritors can modify. These are called when a particular property is set in order to set up the connective tissue underneath. This is not a problem. The problem exists because I cannot use these same virtual calls on either deserialization constructors or in the default constructor to perform these same operations when the class is first in ...Show All
