• Visual Studio Sandcastle Help File Builder

  I've created an NDoc-like GUI front-end plus a command-line builder tool for automating help file builds with Sandcastle. It's available at: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/SandcastleBuilder.asp Using the help file builder provides the following advantages: The GUI interface is almost identical to the NDoc interface so anyone familiar with NDoc should be quite comfortable using it. You can import several settings from an existing NDoc project to start a new Sandcastle Help File Builder project. The builder will automatically locate both Sandcastle and the HTML help compiler by looking in the system path and in the Program Files special folder on all fixed hard drives. Properties are also supplied for you to specify the ...Show All

• SQL Server How to remote processing reports?

  Hi everyone! I have my reports published in a report server. What do I need to do so that the user can processing reports from a windows application There are many ways to do that. Within VIsual Studio 2005 there is a reportviewer control which you can use within your application to contact and display report. If you only want to get a report from the Server and present the user a byte stream to save to a file (something like a button which says Save the report to PDF...) THen you can just use the Report Server Services interface. WHat do you actually want to do (Meanwhile you can take a look on: http://www.gotreportviewer.com/ ) HTH, Jens K.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) select in IEnumerable<>

  Hi, is there a way to do similar: var userStates = from u in db.Users where u.UserID in (1,2,3) select new UserState {u.UserID, u.FlStateID }; the list (1,2,3) is an IEnumerable, IList or more general a "not in db"-collection. there are ways to join for sure but the performance is unusable. The join actually is not calculated in the db. thx, Jorg Blaumeiser The current bits do not allow that syntax. As you stated, you could do it as a join on the client side, but I understand the performance implications. The issue has been brought up and the team stated that they would take a look at it. You may wish to check the archives for more information. ...Show All

• Windows Forms I am trying to use Selection = MultiExtended in my listboxes

• Windows Forms Radial Gradients?

  GDI+ is great! It's so good to finally be able to quickly draw gradients! I know it's possible, but could someone point me in the direction of some information on how to draw radial gradients After much searching, I could find nothing relevant. Anything that is somehow related would be helpful. EDIT: I am painting directly onto a control, not an image. Stealing Bob's code: private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { GraphicsPath pth = new GraphicsPath(); if (this.ClientSize.Width <= 0 || this.ClientSize.Height <= 0) return; pth.AddEllipse(0, 0, this.ClientSize.Width, this.ClientSize.Height); PathGradientBrush pgb = new PathGradientBrush(pth); pgb.CenterColor = Color. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSBuild FlavorToBuild being ignored

  I setup two build types for a team project, one is a testing debug build and the other is a production release build. It seems that no matter what I put in the FlavorToBuild the solution keeps getting build with the Debug configuration. One of the projects in the solution is a web deployment project that swaps sections of the web.config depending on the build configuration so the final output keeps setting this incorrectly. I currently have this in the TFSBuild.proj: < ItemGroup > < ConfigurationToBuild Include = " Release|Mixed Platforms " > < FlavorToBuild > Release </ FlavorToBuild > < PlatformToBuild > Mixed Platforms </ PlatformToBuild > </ ConfigurationToBuild > ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Nice tool but small annoyances

  Almost beats Subversion but merging tool needs one small detail - when you have two upper windows with original and new source code and you scroll one of the windows left or down - Subversion automatically scrolls the another. That's very useful. If TFS team will fix this small thing - Team System will tie again vs Subversion... Thanks for the feedback. You might try a 3rd-party merge tool: http://blogs.msdn.com/jmanning/articles/535573.aspx ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to: design-time or run-time (again)

  Hi, I need a control to have a different visual appearance during design-time as opposed to run-time. Nothing fancy. As proposed so often before I use the " this .DesignMode" property. However: 1) Create a CustomControl and in the OnPaint() do something like: if ( this .DesignMode) pe.Graphics.FillRectangle( Brushes .Red, new Rectangle (10, 10, 10, 10)); 2) Create a UserControl and in the designer drop the CustomControl onto it. You will indeed see the red rectangle as intended. 3) Drop the UserControl on your main form. The red rectangle will not show. Apparently the DesignMode property is limited to Controls actually being editable. Understandable but I need design time appearance everywhere while w ...Show All

• Windows Forms localization in VS2005

  Hi , im using visual studio 2005. I have created localizable Form. For this form i have three .resx (for English, Czech, Finland). Each .resx has own properties.
