• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Do you plan some editable ListView (DataGrid) WPF control?

  Do you plan some editable ListView (DataGrid) WPF control I think everyone is to be honest. Even though I know there are commercial grids in the pipeline that can probably do more than what I can program as an individual, I am developing my own as a kind of head-first plunge into WPF development. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) RichTextBox, Indentation no effect? (bug?)

  It seems that EditingCommands.IncreaseIndentation (and decrease) have no effect on RichTextBox Best regards, Thomas Andersen You're right. That did the trick. That seems like a wierd connection to me, as I was using the command (ctrl+t) and not tab. I think it would be better if there were no such connection with AcceptTabs, as one might want not to accept tabs but stil have indenting through some toolbar buttons. Anyway, thanks :-) Best regards, Thomas Andersen ...Show All

• Windows Forms Locking a form from being re-sized

  I have a winform with its "Locked" property set to true in its property page. But oddly enough, when I run the application, I am still able to grow or shrink the form. What am I doing wrong is there any other property that needs to be set The Locked property is to lock the controls on the form at design time. This helps you prevent yourself from moving controls when you have them set up just like you want them. To prevent resizing the form, use the FormBorderStyle. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Transferring data from FoxPro dbf to Sql

  Dear All, I need all your help urgently. I wanted to write a small piece of vb code to sychronize a few FoxPro dbf tables to SQL tables that having the same structure or at least a few fields that i selected. I had tried a code which I found on the net that running row by row  and column by column to update the SQL tables but this code is too slow. In my dbf table it contains around 3000 records at least. Please help. Thanks in advance. Regards, Weoi Li ps: Happy 2006!!! I use code like the following to transfer from FoxPro to Access. This code may be dependent on the Jet engine but there should be a similar method for transfering to SQl Server. Public Sub Import() Dim ODBCDSN As String = "" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Uninstalling Team Foundation Server

  Somehow my instance of Team Foundation Server is corrupted. I am unable to repair/reinstall or uninstall Team Foundation Server. When I try to do any of these operations, the installation dies and when viewing the Setup.log I see the following error: DepCheck indicates Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU is not installed. How can I get TFS to uninstall Thanks. A couple of different things 1. If you find that the databases are still in the directory ... take a look at SQL and if you don't find the databases there, here's the situation. Someone dettached the databases from SQL. TFS setup will not re-attach them for you. You need to do this yourself and then run setup. H ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GetKeyState Method

  hi, This is for an application in VB.Net on .Net Compact Framework (1.0). (PocketPC) I need to trap the Tab key as it is moved over the controls on the panel. There is a function GetKeyState in user32.dll. But I get a "NotSupported" exception when I try to use this function. Is there any substitute or alternative function that is compatible with CF.

Thanks. Maybe instead of " a " you should try the " u " command It will add only changed and new files. If you need to keep the old version of files, then try " -ver " switch (but it seems to work for RAR archive format only). Therefore with " winrar u -ver ...

• Visual Studio Team System Time-tracking for TFS work items?

  Does anyone know if there is a way to track the time spent working on a work item   I'm thinking of something like a "clock-in/clock-out" feature, so a developer can record the actual time spent working on a particular task, etc. I assume that if there isn't a built-in way to do this, there might be a way to build this in as custom functionality.  Any ideas/guidance Updated Question:  Perhaps I should have stated this better earlier... TFS work items obviously have a field or two in which a developer can enter the total time spent on a project, but what I'm looking for is a way to help track and calculate that total time, based on a mechanism (like a chess timer, for example) which would allow a user to "clock in" ...Show All

• SQL Server Number Formats - Why does excel show 12.% instad of 12.0%?

  I have a percentage cell within a matrix. I want this cell to be formatted to 1 decimal place, so I use the format of ##0.#% (After trying P1 etc).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Buying Pre-made models for XNA

  What is the best source to buy pre-made models for XNA Does anyone know of companies out there that will make custom models on demand I would also like to know what the best meshing/modeling tool for XNA. We have been playing with Blender 3D. I have tried incorporating pre-made models from turbosquid.com and not all of them work. The ones in .x and .fbx format work fine, but most of the texture size are not in the factor 2 scale, and we might need to manually resize them. Thanks Kyle_W, we are an academic group at MIT and are working on an RFID simulator. We need to build accurate models of buildings, such as warehouses and retail stores, for our RFID enabled robots to move through. We might also need a model of a city. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Tab key not working in tables in a Word Document protected for forms using VSTO

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word VSTO: BeforeClose, Close, ShutDown and Document Saved

  Word 2003 VSTO Solution using C# In my Word VSTO solution, I recently added a BeforeClose() event handler, so I can "restore" Word's commandbars (those I've hidden and whatnot). Since having done this, anytime a close the document using Word's close button (X), I am prompted to save the document. So I added this.Saved = true; in the BeforeClose handler as the last line and yet I'm still prompted to save the document. So I added a Close() event handler and checked the saved property, and sure enough, it's set to false following the BeforeClose() event. So I tried setting this.Saved = true; in the Close event in hopes the Save dialog would not display ... but that does not work!!! For giggles, I called base.Close() in the close event han ...Show All
