• Windows Forms Ribbon

  Have microsoft released a Ribbon .NET control, or do we have to make our own There are several out on the 'net (including several that are VERY well written - and are FREE).

• Visual C# Why BindingList is there

  Why BindingList<> is being placed in System.ComponentModel instead of System.Collections.Generic while List<> is in System.Collections.Generic To expand on that, if BindingList were in System.Collections.Generic, that would probably encourage people to use it in inappropriate scenarios. Its databinding support has overheads, and is something you don't want in an awful lot of cases. It's not part of ordinary collection class behaviour. So it's in a different namespace to emphasize the fact that it's not for everyday collection usage. ...Show All

  In a lot of articles I've read they said the XNA would have a large database of free artwork (both 2D and 3D).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Subform appears behind pictureBox?

  Newbie alert! :) I built a main form and set the property IsMdiContainer to true and then have a subform which works fine. I added a pictureBox to the main form but the sub forms appear behind the pictureBox. Any ideas why private void openToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SubForm1 sform = new SubForm1(); sform.MdiParent = this; sform.Show(); } You shouldn't put any controls on the MDI parent form other than a tool strip and a status strip. Use the BackgroundImage property to display a picture. ...Show All

• .NET Development TransactionScope and Jet OLEDB

  I'm doing some POC work on System.Transactions and I am having some difficulty getting it to work via OleDb with the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OleDb provider. I can use DBTransactions just fine against my test database, but if I try to use TransactionScope, I get an error message stating that the ITransactionLocal interface is not supported by the Jet OleDb provider. However, I found the following on MSDN http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B221071 that claims that Jet 4.0 does support ITransactionLocal. I am going to try against MySql, but didn't want to get to far in to this if System.Transactions only supports SQL Server (which, so far is the only DB I can get it to work against).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can you use WSHttpBinding with a WCF hosted on IIS

  I am looking at the example of how to host WCF service on IIS I dont see any WSHttpBidning or BasicHttpBinding, which kind of threw me off for a while The example looks a lot more like ASP .Net, than the WCF service I previously compiled Can you use WSHttpBinding with a WCF hosted on IIS By default, does the WCF Service hosted in IIS use Basic or WS bindings Since I dont see any bindings, how do I know if I am really running a .Net or a WCF I am not sure which sample you are referring to... most of our samples are IIS-hosted.
