• Visual Studio Team System Bug: Data Generation Plan's Column Details - key icon missing

  The Data Generation Plan's Column Details does not display the graphical icon (light blue inverted key) for the "Unique Key" fields. It does display the icons for PKs and FKs. The absence of the icon for UKs is important, because the presence of a UK affects the available choices in the Generator list (Regular Expression is removed) per the help file. The Regular Expression Generator Caution The regular expression generator cannot guarantee unique values. Therefore, it is not available for columns that must have unique values. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office combobox in microsoft excel

  Hi, I noticed that you can add a combobox through data/validation in microsoft excel, however when you leave that cell, there will be no longer any indication that the cell has a drop down list. Is there any way to add a combo box in excel with the drop down indicator at all time. thanks The feature you describe is an Excel feature not a VSTO feature. Using VSTO and Visual Studio, you can create a custom Excel application that adds a ComboBox to a spreadsheet. The ComboBox's behavior can then be programmatically controlled. The behavior of the Excel validation list, on the other hand, is entirely controlled by Excel. Cheers, TC ...Show All

• Visual C# NullReferenceException was unhandled.

  I was sending a pictureframe to a client in synchronous mode which meant, the program gets blocked until the client is found or transfer is complete. Consequently, I shifted to asynchronous mode. Now as far as i can see, there's nothing wrong with the client/server bit of the code but the part, where I am copying the picture frame from a clipboard throws this exception. It's utterly preposterous ! Apparently NOTHING gets copied from the clipboard and the IDataObject ends up having a null status. This never happened in the synchronous communication mode, hell, i didnt even touch the frame grabbing portion of the code. Anybody know whats wrong Most probably you check clipboard BEFORE data is copied. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Appearance

  How would I change the appearance of some controls in the windows form, such as turning the tabs color from the normal color to say a gradient green to white or change the buttons shape and color from a rectangle to a circle and the color from a solid to a gradient. That kind of thing. You will have to handle the Paint event or override the OnPaint method (in the case of subclassing). You can then use utility methods in the System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint class to perform drawing and retrieval of colors to match how the currently running version of Windows draws certain aspects of the controls (like DrawBorder () and Dark ()). ...Show All

• SQL Server Reinstall Sql Server Express After Developer Edition

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ImageBrush and texture size limit?

  Hi, I'm using a large image as an ImageBrush to texture map a 3d mesh. I've noticed that if the image size exceeds 2048 pixels in a given direction (say 4096 pixels), I start seeing tiling beyond the 2048th texel (i.e. it goes back to texel 0). Are ImageBrushes limited to the texture size supported by the video card If so, how can I determine that texture size limit in an XBAP Thanks, this forum is great. - Imad Hi, Imad. Is this on an NVidia card If so, this is a known bug that we are working with NVidia to resolve. To answer your other question: WPF does not expose a way to access the graphics card's caps. This is on purpose, as we actually try very hard to abstract our rendering layer away from ...Show All
