• Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...

  Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU. How to disable this updating of intellisense... Please this is making Visual studio unusable. Thanks Chandra Hi Chandra, Could you describe the size of your solution Do you have many projects Do you find yourself changing the headers often Do you change configurations often (e.g. from debug to release and back) Does your code make heavy use of preprocessor macros Thanks, ...Show All

• .NET Development SSL Authentication problems

  Hello, I want to make a valid SSL connection with a server based on this code but I get an error -> Certificate error: RemoteCertificateChainErrors. Exception: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure. The admins from the server asked me if I use the right certificate to authenticate <-- I don't understand that part. What to do now Thx in advance. Seems like ill communication The error message means the server's certificate was rejected. Your admin was asking whether you're sending a client certificate. Assuming you didn't change the sample's overall program structure, which implies that the part of the program which authenticates as client didn't fail, client certificates seem to be either n ...Show All

• Visual Basic TNS error through visual studio connection string

  I am trying to connect to an Oracle database (I think it is 9.x) on a network using VS 05'. I made a form (form1) and started adding a new data source (strongly typed). This is where I get the TNS error - ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified. My tnsnames.ora file is correct, and I can connect to the server using PL/SQL, I just can't connect through VS. So my question is- does VS require the tnsnames file to be located someplace else other than in the Oracle directory I am able to connect without trouble on my laptop through VS without changing the directory location of the tnsnames file. datawhse = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = datawhse.home.com)(PORT = 1521)) ...Show All

  Hi I am brand new to C# and learning bits each day (or trying to!). I have started to basically understand how this movie collection works and need some assistance in the way this works online with Amazon.

• Windows Forms Icon picker

  Hi all, How can I create, in Winform, the emoticons picker like the one available in this WYSIWYG textbox Notice the yellow smiley face in the toolbar above Click it and that's what I want. What control should I use to display all the emoticons that are available, just like the one above I tried with listview but the arrangement of items is a mess. Anyone with nice idea, pls help. Thanks in advance. Regards. As you noticed, the icon is just a .gif file. So technically speaking, all the control that can store the image file can do, say FlowLayoutPanel. Or you can also use the button, set the background image to the icon image, and once you click it, you can do your processing. Hope this helps. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Arrow Keys on a User Control in .Net 2.0

  If I have a form and want to trap keyss, I can use the KeyDown event to trap and detect which keys are used. This includes the arrow keys. However when I want to do the same with a UserControl placed on the form, all keys are detected except the arrow keys. 1.Why do the arrow keys not generate the even on a UserControl 2 Is there a way to make arrow keys generate an a KeyDown or KeyPress event on a UserControl 3. If not, what event if any is generated by the arrow keys on a USerControl Thanks Steve Sorry I think I've misled you with my last response. When I said "the control that gets the keys is a third party control" I meant the other control on the form that gets the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions loading large pictures in picturebox

  Hello. I'm working with large pictures (one of them is 4021x3123) and I want to load them inside o PictureBox so the user interacts with it (draws on it). The problem is after I load the picture, when I use the scroolbar to move around it, it has that flicker effect and also the interaction with my application has a delay (it takes about 1 sec for the other controls to react). I'm guessing my problem appers because of the large picture I'm loading, so is there a way not to load the entire picture inside the PictureBox and only load that portion of the picture that is currently dispayed by the PictureBox Is there a better solution to that Thanks. Are you using double buffering   The flickeri ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Major Modifications of Task.xml cause project creation failure. (process template is uploaded without errors)

  I am beginning to think that there are limits to the extent that the task.xml WORKITEM can be modified; I am guessing the problem resides in the generic tasks that TFS places in your "todo" list at the creation of your project. There seems to be no way to turn off the creation of these assignments when you create your project. My experience is that I can modify Task quite a bit; but as soon as I make too many modifications to the <TRANSITIONS> I will get an Exception (see below). I can even cut and paste from "Bug.xml" all my states and transitions that work just fine in Bug, but fail when imported into Task.xml. Additionally I have found that if I try to make my own field (MPRI.Common.EstimatedHours) requi ...Show All
