• Visual Basic Tab Control Bug in VB 2005 Express

  Hope This is right place for this question Apologies if not. Hi I have looked around the MS site to see if there is a fix for this bug. When I use the Tab Control Panel and place the tabs down the left or right of the control I cannot see the labels, it seems to work fine whilst tabs are at the top. O and the problem only seems to exist in XP Theme, if I change the theme back to old Classic it works fine. Regards Northhaven You correctly diagnosed this bug. Check this thread for a solution. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions cl.exe really missing from install dir (solved)

  Some months ago I installed VC Express 2005 + SQL Server and MSDN, then after a while I uninstalled them from Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs to get some space on the disk. But some of them refused to uninstall, so I removed the rests by hand (not a good idea I understand, but too late). So far so good, yesterday I tried to re-install VC Express again. First, the setup program does not follow the usual sequence, but proposed me to add new components, uninstall it or repair. I tried uninstall but it failed with a messsage saying that it cannot determine the order of installs. OK, second try: repair. It downloaded some files on the internet, did its job and exited. I start the VC Express from the Start->Programs and it seems to wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Discrepancy in reports

  Hello, I created a report and added a suppression formula for 1 of the pageheader. The formula works well in the designer but not when i fire it of the asp page. On further investigation i found out that this was because the totalpagecount field(being used in the formula) was not being populated when the report was first rendered but when i went to the last record and then if i browsed again from the first record the formula starts working. The formula i used uses the totalpagecount variable which i think is causing the problem. I am not able to devise another formula replacing it. Basically this is what i have: PHa-Company Logo PHb-Header for Details sections fields GH1a-Order Num and associated records GH1b-Header for Details sections fi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Development with Visual Studio Express

  Hi all, I'm little confused about the development Windows Workflow Foundation application using Visual Studio Express editions. I found some links on internet but it's not cleart to me. Is it possible or not Thanks in advance, best regards. Fernando Possebon Hi Fernando, Although I cannot be sure (I run Professional at work), I can see no reason at all that Workflow Foundation could not be used from C# Express or Web Developer (Web Developer can make class libraries, yeah ). After all, Express can be used to create XNA games... so why not WF Cheers, Richard ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Rolebased Security & controls

  Hello, For my WPF application, I need to use rolebased security to: a) Disable buttons b) Make controls readonly or read/write I'm planning to use an access matrix for each role. Each control has a boolean that indicates if it is enabled or if it is readonly. It just seems like a lot of work, and lot of binding code (in xaml-binding and cs-properties). aya-yaya... Is there a way out of this Is there a better approach Thanks Houman Mike, Embedding role-based security concerns into commands would definitely centralize that aspect of an application's UI. That's a great idea. How do you see attached properties fitting into that design I suppose that Houmann's scenario would r ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Transparent interface?

  how do I make the <div id="info"> part of the map from the API transparent like the dashboard give it a style (or in its CSS) write: -moz-opacity:.30; opacity:.30; which covers transparencies in anything but ie and add: filter:alpha(opacity=30); for ie .30 and 30 determine the degree of transparency. If you add the filter for ie, firefox will give you a little error and ignore the filter - if you want to avoid this you can just use a separate css for ie and another one for all other browsers. - this method affects the whole layer and it's content though, so text will also have a degree of transparency. To only give the background a semi transparent look you should google - css semi transpar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Automatic update of VSTO application not working on Client machine but does work on Dev Machine

  Hi - Our team were able to successfully test the automatic update process of their VSTO application (Outlook 2003) on the development server using the combination of PUBLISH of the Outlook project (on to some deployment server - Windows 2003) and the creation of the .MSI file on the Setup project. The .MSI when installed on this development machine, followed by the PUBLISH of the newer versions of the application on to a deployment server (File System option - Windows Server 2003) successfully pulls up the newer versions on to the local development machine when OUTLOOK is opened the next time. The issue is when the .MSI file is installed on the End User Machine. The .MSI file was installed and the application works fine. But the a ...Show All
