Visual Studio add in user preferences
Hi, I'm working on an add in to VS and I'd like to be able to store user preferences. Could someone point me to the way to go I've thought of using a App.Config but I don't know if that's the right way to do this. Thanks for your help. App.Config makes no sense here. You can use either: - A registry location at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\YourCompany\YourProduct\YourVersion - A disk location at C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\YourCompany\YourProduct\YourVersion. Ensure that you are using the Win32 API to get the name of the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data special folder since it is localized in other languages and in Windows Vista it doesn't even have ...Show All
Windows Forms ListView Help
Hello All, I need a little help with my listview. I have a list view with 5 columns that are being filled by 5 variables. I also have a while loop that updates the variables continuously and I want to update the listview at the same interval.... I know i can use : listView.Items.Clear(); (then re-add the item) listView.Items.Add(..) however i causes a severe flicker and will not allow the user to highlight a row... I have tried to use Update and Refresh, however this doesn't seem to update the row with the updated variables... Any Ideas Thanks, Andrew Maybe while you are trying to highlight a row, you are re-adding the items, so you can't highlight it. Do you really have to do refresh every moment ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't get Image Source property to work.
Hi, I don't seem to be able to load images in WPF using the <Image Source="myImage.bmp"/> xaml syntax. I have tried using the images as both resources and content and as neither. I have read everything I can find on the matter and no-one else seems to be having this trouble. This is even happening with sample code that I haven't modified. As an example: When I try to compile the code for the WPF sample called wordgame1 and then click on the design window I get an error message saying "Images\Start.Gif" cannot be assigned to "Source". The offending line is < Image Source = " Images\Start.gif " Height = " 300 " Width = " 300 " HorizontalAlignment = " Cent ...Show All

Community Chat Question with Vista
Sorry this might be misplaced Will Vista be able to run Xp programs such as games and files Another thing is would you suggest having 2 opperating systems and if yes should I have a seperate drive Will this affect my computer by slowing it down having 2 OS's thanks Yes, Vista should be able to run XP applications without a problem. Having 2 OSs installed concurrently shouldn't cause major performance problems, other than the fact that it might increase drive fragmentation. If you've got a "dual boot" system, it will only run one or the other OS when you boot up the machine, so even though they're both present on the hard drive, only one at a time is running. ...Show All
