• Visual C# Commenting/Describing Methods

  Hi, I have just started a large team-based project in C#.NET. In order to simplify the use of code written by other developers I was wondering if it was possible to create the auto-popup things in the .NET environment. When you call a method in C# it lists the arguments it excepts and the return data type. For methods included in the .NET framework, often this is accompanied by a brief description, all encompassed in a neat little yellow tooltip-style popup. I was wondering if it is possible to achieve this description for methods that we have written to make it easier for developers to use each others code. Example: http://dieanotherdave.co.uk/popup.gif The above example shows what I am referring to. Thanks for any help, Dave. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions User Functions in seperate files

  How do you get MessageBox support in a user defined function when the Function resides in a seperate .cs file It will only allow it when I make my function either part of a class or form. Thanks Hi Enlikil, If you have written a new .cs class file you will have to add the using statement to the top of the code. There are already some there. I belive the MessageBox function lies in the Windows.Forms statement e.g. using System.Windows.Forms; I Could be wrong. Scott ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 RC1 compatibility issue with eFax Messenger

  To whom it may concern, There is a a compatibility problem between eFax Messenger and IE7 RC1. The eFax programs start page "StartPage.mht" will not display any images when using IE7. All works fine with IE6. Unfortunatley, anyone using eFax will be stuck with IE6 if they want the program to properly display the start page images. I am personally bound to eFax at the moment because it's tied my business and I just sent out all new promo documents with the number listed. Hopefully, the IE7 team can come up with a patch for the eFax Messenger compatibility issue. Thanks, if anyone's listening. ...Show All

• SQL Server mdx expression

  I have a cube with 1 fact (historic sales data) and 3 dimensions (Time, Product and Customer) and i have created two calculated measures 'Bud_Qty' and 'Bud_Price' that I then multiply to create 'Bud_Sale'. I can browse the 'Bud_Qty' and 'Bud_Price' dimensions by both the Product and Customer hierarchies, but the aggregation of the 'Bud-Sale' is incorrect. I have tried a number of alternatives using various Scope, Leaves and Descendants scripts, but I have not been able to make 'Bud_Sale' calculated measure aggregate properly. Any Help is appreciated.

• Windows Forms Resizing a control problem in design mode

  I have created a UserControl and a designer for it and I am having problems with the adornments drawing incorrectly when resizing the control in design mode.
