• Visual Studio Express Editions Portable Apps in .NET 2?

• Visual Studio The Class View Tool Window

  Hello, please can someone help me out. I want to extend the class view tool window however it isn't a UIHierarchy type and it isn't part of DTE2.ToolWindows collection. Using GetToolWindow("Class View") method raises an exception (and I think it's because UIHierarchy is for tool windows with a tree view only). I'm (still) new to this. The class view is not programmable through the automation model. To generate the tree, the class view communicates directly with the project, querying for items to insert into the tree and where those items should be placed. The only way to modify the tree would be to use the VS SDK, and wedge yourself in between the project and class view. One way to do this would require what is calle ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. "Use of unassigned local variable" error on Xbox360 but not Windows

  Anyone know why the compiler produces an error when the following code is compiled in an Xb0x360 project but not when it is compiled on a Windows project public void GetTileRect( int tileX, int tileY, out Rectangle tileRect) { Rectangle myRect; myRect.X = tileX * tileWidth; myRect.Y = tileY * tileHeight; myRect.Width = tileWidth; myRect.Height = tileHeight; tileRect = myRect; } I get a "Use of unassigned local variable 'myRect'" when assigning it to tileRect. It's not a big deal, I can get around it by simply using "myRect = new Rectangle()". I'm just wondering why it works in one case but not the other. ProfEclipse wrote: I ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Powerbuilder IE7 embedded webbrowser control

  Our Sybase Powerbuilder application contains an embedded Microsoft Web Browser control, accessing web pages on a local webserver. After installing IE7, dropdown controls within embedded web pages are no longer selectable. The options appear, but none are clickable. I have stripped the html code to a bare minimum, so it does not appear to be related to this. I have also tried noddy apps in various versions of Powerbuilder with the same results. On a machine with IE6 however, all is fine. Our customers have recently installed IE7 with the same result in the deployed application, and have had to revert to IE6 to resolve the problem. I have seen various issues with the IE7 install affecting VB6 apps, relating to shdocvw.dll a ...Show All
