• Visual Studio Team System Why does TFS's Version Control employ forward slashes as path separators?

  What happened to the tried and true back slashes of DOS & NTFS Thanks, Brian One reason we use forward slashes is that it is another way to distinguish server paths from local paths. Our command line takes local paths and server paths as options. True, we use $ to start a server path, but for relative paths the slash is the only distinguishing property.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Resize Elements inside the canvas

  Canvas contains some UIelements like rectange, ellipse, button etc. I would like to resize child elements, when the canvas is resized. I'm able to resize the Canvas using Adorner. Can someone suggest me the general approach to resize any element that located inside the canvas. for e.g <Canvas><Button>Test Button</Button></Canvas>. In this case Button element should be resized with respect to the canvas. Thanks in advance, Venu Thanks for your time. Reason: I have few UIElements (like rectangle, ellipse, button) that are grouped together. these are added to the canvas and considered as a single object. Resizing the canvas should resize its child UIelements.I tried "Mike&quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic 2005 Express Format Painter

    Hi, Does Visual Basic 2005 Express have a Format Painter function like Word, Access, Excel... I would like to be able to make all of the buttons on a form the same colour, without having to manually change the background in each button's properties box. I realise I could copy and paste the buttons. I have tried a search for format painter and read throughmany pages of these threads. Cheers, Phil Phil, As jmcilhinney suggests, ctrl-click on the controls you want to change, or use Edit->Select All if you want to change the property for all controls, and then use the property browser to set the properties your want to have the same value.

• .NET Development Netframework 1.1 and 2.0

  I am just a normal everyday home user that downloaded netframe 2.0. I have 1.1 and the hot fix for 1.1 on my pc. Do I need 2.0 on my machine When I go to control panel under "administrative options" everything is 1.1. I plan on upgrading to Vista soon so I was wondering if I was going to need it then.

• Visual Basic 2003 > 2005 Upgrade problem

  I have an application written in VB.Net '03 that worked fine until I attempted an upgrade. I have most of the bugs ironed out, but one I can't find a solution to: My buttons light up on MouseHover, and "unlight" on MouseLeave. This is true of all buttons, including the "exit" button. The problem is, after I click the "exit" button, the Windows Form Designer Generated Code "dispose" sub triggers the MouseLeave event, which generates an "ArgumentOutOfRange Exception because the collection the "unlit" Exit Button image is stored in is no longer available. Yikes! This didn't happen in '03 -- how do I sidestep it in '05 Is there a way to say "If the last button clicked was NOT & ...Show All
