• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding RichTextBox Content

  Is it possible to set the text of a RichTextBox via binding I have been trying things like this: <RichTextBox x:Name="RTB" Text="{Binding ElementName=SomeElement, Path=SomePath}/> Obviously this doesn't work because a RichTextBox doesn't have a TextProperty. Is there a similar Dependency Property that I should be using, or is there a way to do it at all Thanks I was afraid of that, I need to be able to apply text styles, so I figured a RichTextBox would be best. Is there a way to style text in a TextBox ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Removing labels (scriptwise) doesn't want to work.

  I use the following code in my program to add some labels: Dim l As Label For i As Integer = 0 To 10 l = New Label l.Name = "LabelDay" & i.ToString l.Text = "Day" + i.ToString l.Top = 88 + (i * 20) l.Left = 5 l.AutoSize = True l.Visible = True Me.Controls.Add(l) Next i Now I want to remove them with: For Each c As Control In Me.Controls If TypeOf c Is Label Then Me.Controls.Remove(c) End If Next For some reason I have to run the remove function several times.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Stream data revisited.

  Hello all, I would like to ask for some opinions on the best way to do something and possibly the solution. I am beginning to think that my "programming logic" is off when it comes to figuring out how to do something and I would like some advice on that as well. I will use my current project as a case for this. I need to stream data into an application, run calculations or manipulation queries against the data and output the data into a Data Grid View (eventually I will use C# to access Excel and create a custom report). My first idea was to stream the data into a list and from the list into a DataTable then to the Data Grid View. I was advised to stream it directly into the DataTable. Below I have pasted the code for the main form and th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Get Latest Version" and "Get Specific Version" does not get ANY files

  A source code file, which was referenced in a project file,was missing on my local hard drive. I asked a collegue to add that file to TFS source control. Then I used the command "get latest version" on the project but the file was not downloaded. I had to select the file in Source Control Explorer and use the "Get specific version" with "Force Get". Is this by design Argh. I just started having this problem as well. It's only for a single directory in a solution, and I can't get latest version, get a specific version (latest), or get a specific changeset. I tried deleting the solution from my local hard drive, and reloading it from TFS, and once again, it got everything, exce ...Show All

  Hi all, another "hot" problem when I compile a VC8 project ported from VC6.

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS compatibility with 2.0 .net framework

  Is it possible to do a load testing of a smart client application built in 2.0 .Net framework using VSTS Are you asking if we can automate the client-side UI The answer in that case is no, we don't have UI automation capability right now. You can write web tests or unit tests and run them under load. Perhaps you can test the server side functionality with web tests and some of the client side code with unit tests. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, though. Josh ...Show All

  Hello, I do experiment a problem when trying to install the mentionned patch on my Windows XP SP2 machine (fully patched).

• .NET Development Using XML to select a user

  Hello all, I am trying to create a program that presents the user with a text box where they enter a number it logs them into a system where they have specific things they can do and some they (possibly) can't. I would like to use an XML file to do this. For example Number 0000 Logs in the user Jane. Jane has admin privileges Number 1111 Logs in Dick Dick can only access the Sales portion of the program. I'm not sure if XML is the way to go with this but it seemed to be the best choice. If you need a copy of my XML file I can post it. I think it is done correctly.
