• Smart Device Development DomainUpDown

  Hi all, do i have to override this Control if I need to make use of the up and down buttons Thanks Tryst wrote: do i have to override this Control if I need to make use of the up and down buttons Depends on what you mean by "make use of the up and down buttons". Handling the SelectedItemChanged event will make use of those buttons. If you want to do something specific to your control when the up or the down button is pressed, yes, you have to derive from this class and override the UpButton and DownButton methods. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mixed Columns with DataViewGrid

  I'm creating a table from unbound data, with 12 columns. Column 1 is int32, Column 2 is string, Column 3 is bool, Column 4 is string, Column 5 is bool, and the rest of the columns are string. I've got the table to create all the columns to accept text, but I'm having a problem changing columns 2 & 4 to CheckBoxes. (Column 1 can stay as string, the source is int32). Thanks, Bryan What I want is to have columns 2 & 4 contain checkboxes, not a true/false label. The plan is to change the state of the checkbox based upon external (serial) activity. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) internal members on dlinq classes

  I am getting a run-time error if I makr any members on the dlinq generated classes as internal (I don't mean the generated members, i mean custom members on the other side of the partial class).

• Visual Studio Team System Add Related Work Item fields question

  We are using the "Add Related Work Item" feature for creating a Bug from a Test. This is being done by right-clicking on the Test work item and selectiong the "Add Related Work Item" option. What we want to do is specify how field data gets copied from the Test WIT to the Bug WIT. It looks like a few of the built-in fields get copied automatically (maybe by reference name ). But I would like to customize this behavior. For example, we would like the Title of the Test WIT to flow to a custom field in the Bug WIT - instead of the Title field. And, we also want other custom fields from the Test WIT to flow to other fields in the Bug WIT. Is there any way to accomplish this I messed around with the WIT elements and attributes in ...Show All

• Visual C++ Linking an app in debug mode against libraries built with /MD

  Here's the situation:  I have some third party DLLs, built with Visual Studio 2005, and which were compiled with the /MD switch (multithreaded DLL CRT libraries).  I want to build my application in debug mode, using the debug CRT (/MDd switch), linked against the libraries above.
