• Windows Forms toolstripcontainer wants to take up the whole form

  I was trying to take a windows form, put 2 panels in with a horizontal splitter, how the toolstripcontainer in the top panel, a grid in the lower panel. I put a toolstrip in the container. I can now no longer move the toolstrip around, even though I didn't disable moving the toolbar to the side toolstrip panels. Anyway, I redid another project, took out the splitter and let the toolstripcontainer have the whole form and now it's happy. So the toolstripcontainer needs to fill the entire form Is there no way to have it work where it just fills a top panel on a form Did you dock fill the ToolStripContainer in the splitter panel I did some tests and it seems that ToolStripContainer works fine as long as you dock it (fill or something el ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 issue with Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS

  Hi, I've a web application developed in ASP.NET which is hosted in a Windows 2000 server with only Integrated Windows Authentication enabled. This is to make use of Active Directory Services. Now, everything works fine with IE6. But in IE7, I get the Page Not found message.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How To: Attach event handler to element in DataTemplate?

  This question/problem is a little bit esoteric, but hopefully someone has seen it before... I need to attach an event handler to the Loaded event of Image elements within a DataTemplate. The Loaded event handling method is in a utility class, so I can't use XAML to attach the handler. In a Window's Loaded event handling method I call this method in the utility class : FrameworkElementFactory factory = listBox.ItemTemplate.VisualTree; while ( factory != null ) { if ( factory.Type == typeof ( Image ) ) { factory.AddHandler( Image .LoadedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler ( OnImageLoaded ) ); break ; } factory = factory.FirstChild; } There are two problems, one is not too bad (just odd) and t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiler error C2664

  Hi, I'm working in VS 2005 and it's a windows forms application. I've come across a strange error, in what looks like very simple code. I'm simply trying to pass an integer to a function, have that function change it's value, and the value is preserved back in the calling function. Simple. The problem arises when I try to do this passing a member variable of a managed class. Here is my code: namespace BoxWorldSolverC { public ref class frmMain : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { // Data members private : int m_iMapWidth; int m_iMapHeight; ... Further down in same .h header, i.e. same class declaration... private : System::Void test( int &myInt) { myInt++; } ...Show All

• Windows Forms Loading Client Control instead of server control.

  Hi, I have C# windows control libarary (Dll), which I could able to load them into browser using <object> tag with following syntax (In aspx page) and user able to see the page properly. <object name="chk" id="chk" classid="http:GSIM.dll#GSIM.gsimManager"></object> This is great, but we would like to load a local C# windows control libarary (Dll) instead from webserver.

• Visual C# Difference between struct value or reference

  What is the difference between myStruct aStruct; and myStruct aStruct = new myStruct(); I would have thought that the latter was a reference type and if I put aStruct = bStruct; then aStruct would point to bStruct but in fact it just seems to copy the contents.

• Visual Studio Team System C# and DB Pro Unit Tests - Redundantly Test?

  It seems that now that SP's can be unit tested at a low level with Db Pro where it makes more sense, making a regular c# unit test for a method call that's nothing more than a wrapper for the SP seems a bit redundant and a hard sell.  Maybe it makes sense to check parameters or if there's other logic involved.  I could also see if you had a code coverage requirement that you'd do it.  Time might be better spent elsewhere though. If you have the philosophy that a database schema represents a contract between the application and the data, and both are owned by two people/teams you want to use both level of unit tests to validate the contract. Also the apptier unit tests are often against ...Show All
