Software Development for Windows Vista About GetClientRect in AERO
I use GetClientRect function to retrive the coordinates of a window's client area and then draw a bitmap into client area in WM_PAINT callback function. But when AERO is enabled and the minimized main window is restoring, the bitmap is presented before the main window being restored. It is no problem when AERO is disabled. There is a slow animation when a window being restored in AERO. How to detect the animation is over Or, should I try another way The code looks like the followings: case WM_PAINT: { ......

Visual Studio Express Editions Install C# and C++?
Hi, Newbie here to C/C++ but I have done some VB in the past. I installed the Visual C++ Express edition about a week ago without a problem and have had some time to play about with it and found it to be great. So I thought I'd try Visual C# Express and see what the difference was between the 2 languages. The download and install went perfectly, without a hitch until I tried to start a new project. I went File:New and selected a template (doesn't matter which, same problem for all) clicked OK and got an error box pop up with the message ' The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT:0x8007007B) ' I uninstalled both C++ Express and C# Express and then reinstalled them both and I stil ...Show All

Internet Explorer Development IE7 Forms Auto Complete Stopped Working
I’ve deleted by mistake the registry key: Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/IntelliForms/Storage1 As a result, IE7 Auto-Complete stopped working.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Tearing in WPF
I am seeing a lot of tearing in an animated WFP project. It also occurs in Expression Interactive Designer June CTP version. Running 3.0 June CTP on XP. Often the tearing seems to get "locked in" resulting in garbage on the screen. This can be redrawn by minimising and restoring the Window. Should I be concerned or is this being worked on Thanks, John I have similar issues, and I have filed in a bug about it.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) anonymous types: Signature referencing
Given: var v1 = new { Person = "Suzie", Age = 32, CanCode = true } and var v1 = new { Person = "Barney", Age = 29, CanCode = false } My question is this: Even though these 2 anonymous types have exactly the same structure, will the compiler recognize that they have the same structure and reuse the first type and not create 2 completely seperate type instances Yep. :-) Two identical anonymous types instances constructed within the same method body have the same type. The compiler will also attempt to reuse anonymous types within a module (though this is not required by the spec). ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Develop and Deploy with continuous integration
Is anyone using continuous integration with their db projects and if so, what works best We are thinking of deploying db changes while in VSTS locally and then upon check-in using MSBuild to deploy db changes to our development SQL server. It should work, I'm just wondering if there are any gotcha's or if there is a better methodology. At first blush, I cannot think of any reason why this would not work. For large database projects this will not be super speedy because we will have to load the DesignDB for each build. You should also be able to use the database unit testing feature to verify the database after the delta script has been deployed to the sandbox instance. There are some MCS guys d ...Show All
