• Visual Studio Team System VS.NET 2005 Version Differences

  Currently I am using a trial of VS.NET 2005 Team Edition that I got from MS. My trial is running out soon, and I need to purchase the software. I'm having trouble however figuring out which version of the software I need to get. Can anyone tell me the difference between "VS.NET 2005 Pro" and "VS.NET 2005 Team Edition" Also, the version I got included SQL Server 2005 which I need, do both of those versions have it bundled with them Lastly, most versions that I see come with an option to get a MSDN subscription. Is this necessary Sorry for all of the questions, but I am having a lot of trouble deciphering the MS site. Thanks, Russ Thank you for the information, but I'm sti ...Show All

• Visual Basic contextmenustrip not shown

  Hi, In my application i am using old AxMSChart control. I am using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005. In the application I added a ContextMenuStrip menu and added one help item in it. I assigned the contextmenustrip properties of many control with this newly added contextmenustrip instance. On right click of many controls like label etc the context menu is shown. But incase of AxMsChart instance the right click doesn't show up the context menu. Then I tried to show the Contextmenu strip explicitly on the chart's right click event (mousedown), but its sourcecontrol property is not set as expected as in case of other controls. I am unable to fix the problem. Is it due to legacy chart control or due to some of the missing settings - Ab ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to make certain variables global to all forms? (C#)

  I have this problem.. my main form class (MainForm) declares some variables that should be global, in a sense. Let's say my app, at startup, loads a bunch of user data.. into a list (List<UserInfo>). I want that list available application-wide. So if a preferences dialog opens up, and it needs to populate a ListView with that List<UserInfo>, it can. What is the best way to achieve this, in C# Hi there, Assuming you meant using Model-View-Controller (MVC) then I'll give you the quick 10 cent tour. Basically, your data abstraction, i.e. non-user interface type, exposes some (or all) of the data to interested parties and to notifiy those parties when the data changes. This is the Model part of MVC ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums IE7 Crashing because of Windows Live Toolbar

  Hi All, Not sure if anyone else has seen this. I've got IE7 running on a brand new machine (version 7.0.5730.11) and I've installed Windows Live Toolbar as I've had it installed on previous machines. However, whenever the Windows Live Toolbar is active and visible, if I click to open a new tab in IE7, it crashes. Any ideas anyone It's pretty annoying, and the Yahoo Toolbar that's also installed causes no problems. Cheers for any assistance I have had the same problem however, i have confined it to the Form fill. The tool bar itself works fine, it seems that it only causes problems when you try to use the form fill portion. If you like the tool bar, Uninstall it, then reinstall and make sure that you don't use the form fill. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. FocusWindowHandle to Control?

  I am converting some MDX code to XNA and ran into this issue. My old code used Device.CreationParameters.FocusWindow to get the control that the device was associated to. XNA instead provides the FocusWindowHandle. Am I able to convert the handle back to a control some how Thanks The Control class from WinForms has a static method called FromHandle that returns the Control associated with a window handle (assuming that there is such a control, window handles can be created by native code and then there are not WinForm controls associated with them). ...Show All
