• Visual C# Best practice in multilingual applications (Resource Files)...

  What is the best practice structuring resource files when developing multilingual applications... The options that I have so far: Few resource files containing a lot of texts.

• Windows Forms Setting the DataGridView columns

  Hi friends, I have many datagrids in my application. So wat i want to do is to have a common grid which takes care of setting all the styles and the required columns and their widths,dynamically. I have taken a separate class which takes care of the styles,but i want to have a generic method in that class that sets the column names and their widths respetively.How do i approach this problem . Any links would be of great help. Thanx in advance, subhanet Its not clear to me what you are aiming for. I suppose that you can create your own class of data grid inheriting from the DataGrid class (unless the class is sealed), and then set the properties you want in the class's contructor.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ITypedList not supported in data binding?

  I have custom IBindingList implementation which also implements ITypedList so that I can add my own calculated list item properties on the fly. It works well in Windows.Forms data binding and now I have realized that ITypedList is ignored in WPF data binding. Why Did you forget it Our list controls (ListBox, ListView, etc) are not limited to homogenous types. So although each item does make it into the list we still need to bind to the individual items in order to generate visuals for them. One way to do this is to implement ICustomTypeDescriptor on your IBindingLists items. Here is a quick and dirty sample public class MyListItem : ICustomTypeDescriptor { ITypedList _owner; interna ...Show All

• Visual Basic End if markers

  For a for next loop it is possible to add the variable after the word NEXT. If it is the wrong variable then there is an error message. Is there something similiar for If EndIf statements that helps to flag with EndIf goes with which IF. no....the for next loop lets you specify the next parameter such as: For x as integer = 0 to 10 step 1 ..... Next x Which is exactly the same as For x as integer = 0 to 10 ..... Next The "IF" statement has the following syntax in Visual Basic: If condition [ Then ] [ statements ] [ ElseIf elseifcondition [ Then ] [ elseifstatements ] ] [ Else [ elsestatements ] ] End If -or- If condition Then [ statements ] [ Else [ elsestatement ...Show All

• Visual Studio Must the MSDN libraries be installed to use Visual Studio.NET 2003 (and his components)

I've just got Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed and my question is if the MSDN libraries are needed to use Visual Studio .NET 2003 I want to use all of its components like C# specificely. So would it work without the libraries Thx very much. Tom MSDN is just the SDK documentation, you can uninstall it if you like however you would then have no local help. if you are referring to the .NET Framework then yes you DO need that, otherwise you cannot develop in Visual Studio ...Show All
