• Visual Studio Advice/help needed...new to using/implementing VSS 2005

  Hello, I am a newcomer to VSS 2005 and source control in general. I am trying to setup VSS 2005 to be used for my companies web apps and for client server apps (.net, classic asp, vb6, etc.). I had a few questions that I was hoping you veterans could assist me with. I am very new to this so I apologize if I am way off in my understanding. 1) The documentation states to consider using different databases if size starts to become an issue. I was wondering how you guys handled it Do you create one database (e.g. MASTER) and then import all your individual projects into it (e.g. Project1, Project2, etc.) so that all your code is in one database just in different projects Or do you create databases for each project (e.g. create a datab ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't get DrawItem event any more, in some special case

  This interesting thing was found by use of DebugView to monitor the all events. Suppose that there are 2 controls, one is propertyGrid, one is myListBox, which is a subclass of ListBox. myListBox uses OwnerDrawFixed mode, so it has to draw all items manually. However, in some mysterious case, I found that when I repeatedly opened and closed the propertyGrid, myListBox may never raise any DrawItem event. I output all events to DebugView, then found that WM_PAINT was there, but didn't WM_DRAWITEM. Also it can't restore from this bad status no matter what I did (move, refresh, resize, maximize, minimize...), until I recreate another myListBox. I think WM_DRAWITEM is nowhere to be manually emitted, since it's managed by control. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Making custom user control as root of xaml

  i'd like to create a class that inherits from a WPF control say UserControl or Grid and then have another XAML whose code behind in turn inherits from that class. On using the name of the custom class in the Root element of the XAML, get an error saying this is an invalid root element. Is there a way to get around this There is no problem to inherit from wpf controls or any class, it may be the case that you want to use container control but isntead of container you'r using any other control, and may be that why xaml throughs error of invalid root element. if its not work please give more detail of your error.

• Visual C# library not registered error

  Hello, I hope someone will have an answer to this question... Using VS. Net + C# I have a a console project called implementer that communicates with another addin project. Both are supposed to send and receive a "struct" that holds a hashtable to store/change info. I got the addin to show up right and it starts listening to the events been triggered by excel. In one of the events, the addin class, via invocation, is supposed to instantiate an instance of the struct and pass it to the running instance of the implementer class which changes and modifies the info in the hashtable of that struct. when trying to send that struct (which is a dll file by itself but added to both projects as reference) I get the error message s ...Show All

• Visual C++ Reporting Visual C++ bugs to Microsoft

  I have reported a number of Visual C++ 8.0 bugs to Microsoft at their bug reporting site at https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback . Currently, and for the last month and a half, I have two bugs which I have reported directly to Microsoft, after being ignored on the web address above, which still have not been resolved. Other bugs which I have reported to Microsoft at the web address above have gotten comments from Microsoft ranging from an arcane and onerous workaround, which no one can rightfully use, to "Thanks for reporting the issue! One of our team members is currently looking into it", and then the bugs are closed with evidently no acknowledgment that the bug actually exists or needs to be fixed or that anybod ...Show All

• Visual Basic Printing areas of a form and increasing the size

  I have an order form that I would like to print out on A size paper but the PrintForm only uses a small area of the page. How can I enlarge the mage to fill the whole page. Also is it possible to print only a part of a form. Thanks Hi, you can email me using the email from my profile I do not know about enlarging. To avoid black areas I used form.Show() before printing the form. About printing part of the form you can use few possibilities. First you can define the client area that you want to print (the example is from John's response to my question) Sub PrintForm() 'Set the client Size acording to needable size Dim tSize As New Size(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Delegate, Invoke/beginInvoke. How it works.

  Could anybody please tell me exactly what is going on with delegates and Invoke/BeginInvoke. It is easy to make these functions work, but the explanations in the help files are so cryptically, that you may question whether the author of the help files actually knows what is going on! According to the help files, BeginInvoke executes a delegate asynchronously on the thread that the control's underlying handle was created on! I have been working with microcomputers since Intel 4004 and used multitasking when Microsoft was still in the DOS days, but this explanation is simply too cryptically. First of all, as I understand it, a delegate is a type-safe pointer, but a pointer is not executed - at least not in my terms. Subroutines are execut ...Show All
