• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to keep a Popup aligned with a Control

  My scenario is the following: I want to show a Popup below a TextBox for giving help informations. The problem is that the (opened) Popup stays at the same location when i move the parent Window or the TextBox (through animation). My question: Is it possible to keep the Popup aligned with the TextBox so that it stays below the TextBox even if i move the window Through databinding or something like that (A tooltip is not an option for me.) Well as I have read other posts and help files, I have come to the conclusion there is no other way to do it but manually. You will have to use the Popup's .HorizontalOffset and .VerticalOffset properties in conjunction with the container/window  that is being "moved/dragged". &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Basic circular references between usercontrols and 'main' form in vb6->.net upgrade

  in upgrading from vb6 to vs2005 user controls are introducing a circular reference problem in the following way. In the vb6 solution, user controls could access methods in the 'Main Form' upon which the user controls are used. In VS2005, I create a separate Windows Control Library Project for each User Control. For composite controls I 'reference' any other controls as needed. However, there are controls which call methods/functions on the 'Main form' within a Windows Application project. That project includes the references to all the user controls ( which show up in the ToolBox.) Circular references have been introduced which didn't exist before. The Mainform references the User Control. The User Control calls MainForm methods. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Change in behavior of properties from VC7.1 to VC8

  In VC7.1 in the property pages for a project, if I entered a relative path for an include file on the "Additional Include Directories", then the IDE showed valid paths relative to the project file. In VC8, relative paths are all relative to some path in the install directory NOT my project. How can I get the VC7.1 behavior This new behavior is not intuitive. I never place my files relative to the install directory. Ah - I answered without checking first. Bad. Entering $(ProjectDir)\ does not bring up any autocompletion. Entering $(ProjectDir)\..\ still brings up the wrong tree relative to the install directory. In 7.1 I could enter ..\ and it would provide auto completion directories relat ...Show All

• Visual Studio code and example xml tags

  Has anyone noticed or observed that code and example xml tags seem to work properly when decorating a method, but when the tags are at the class level, none of your sample code seems to appear. Is this an issue that is being worked on Just thought I would pass along what I observed. John Here is a small sample.  Didn't paste in the best but you'll get the idea.  Also, there is no implementation in the class here that I pasted in, but there is in the actual class.  Hope this helps.  If I were to put this same documentation tags on a method of the class then the code sample will work. /// <summary> /// Represents a name - value collection in an enterprise library c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System using msscci w/vs2003 after running the vssconverter

  for a small test I created a new project using VS2003. CHecked it into VSS. then ran vssconverter and migrated those sources to a TFS project. I then installed MSSCCI. Now I open the solution and am stuck at how to get it to bind to my tfs project. I endup with the "change source control" dialog and then the "choose folder in TFS" dialog. I browse to where the project is in TFS but the OK button remains greyed out. In fact no matter what I do, the OK button remains disabled. Also there is a text box labeled "type a namde for the solution folder" but it is disabled also. What am I mising thanks Tim By installing MSSCCI visual studio 2003 is changed to use TFS. - yo ...Show All
