• Visual Studio Express Editions Right margin indicator in editor?

  Is there a way to enable some kind of right margin indicator in the editor I would use this as a visual guide to keep my lines of code under a certain length so they don't wrap when I email, print, whatever. Thanks. joeljkp wrote: Is there a way to enable some kind of right margin indicator in the editor I would use this as a visual guide to keep my lines of code under a certain length so they don't wrap when I email, print, whatever. I haven't found anything. Here's how I help myself work around it: First, depending on your preference, in the Tools | Options | Text Editor | All Languages | General property sheet, you can turn word-wrap on or off.

• .NET Development Example Code

  This has probably been asked lots of times. But. Is there any equivalent to C's strtok in c#.net. Or has anybody written the equivalent. Thanks David >> string[] equationTokens = equation.Split(new char[1]{' '}); String.Split is defined as public string [] Split ( params char [] separator) so you really only need string[] equationTokens = equation.Split(' '); and the compiler will create the array for you automatically. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help with styles

  I seem to be missing something fundamental with styles. In the code below, see the Hyperlink cell template for the PublishDate column. When I apply the LinkDefault style, it works great for the first row, but after that all the other cells are blank for PublishDate. It does show an active scroll bar there in the cell , so something is happening, but it does not seem to be showing any data in any of the rows in the GridView except the first row. ------------------ <Window xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml' Width="664.8" xmlns:l="clr-namespace:SDKSample" x:Class="SDKSample.Window1"> <Window.Res ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Monolithic Driver:: Problem with ConvertDevmodeToPrintTicket

  In a dummy application code, after PT ConvertDevmodeToPrintTicket() call , the PT pointer is not coming back. The pointer does not contain valid data. I am observing the following behavior: The IXMLDomDocument2 pointer that comes to the ConvertDevmodeToPrintTicket () function in the UI dll is a single pointer while in GetPrintCapabilities () call the IXMLDomDocument2 pointer for print capabilities was a double pointer. This pointer already has some memory and a valid Print Ticket in it. I am adding features to that existing print ticket pointer. I am not allocating the pointer in our driver dll as it is already allocated. After adding our features in the driver dll I have saved the print t ...Show All

• Visual C# how to reorder listView basied on BackColor?

  is it possible to reorder the listView items based on the BackColor of each row I want to keep all red rows on top regardless of its values. it might be a sily solution but you can try this. make the first colument of your list view a sorting column that is add only numbers in it. for example when you make the background color of a row to red make the first column property say '0'. so when you are done all coulumns having as background color of red shoud have the value 0 on their first columns. after that just sort the list view using this code ListView1.Sorting = SortOrder.Ascending; ListView1.Sort(); here the sample i tried using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Collections; usi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Input Dialogue

  VB6 used to have something like a message box that a user could input 1 line of something (there was 1 textbox) and it would return the value of that textbox to you... like a message box. This stopped the programmer from making his own input form. Is there still such a thing in 2005 If not I'll make one, but I'd rather know so I don't wonder for the rest of my months/years/life... yea :D Thanks. Yes, InputBox is still here ...

• Community Chat so the Zune's a flop

  or so says every review I have read. anyone have any sources saying otherwise installation HORROR stories. questionable collection of "features." incompatibility with WMP and pretty much any non-Zune marketplace source for music. handicapped wifi. I was on the verge of pre-ordering a Zune, but Microsoft has jaded me over the years, so I held off. I think I'm pretty happy with that decision. Zune owner here... Let's see, yes, it's not compatible with WMP even though WMP11 and the Zune software appear to be the same program(or dang close) just re-skinned with different features. WMP won't even acknowledge it as a device. There are those that seem to be having installation issues, but it al ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checked List Box in VB DOT .NET - Checked items gets unchecked when used inside Tab Control and while tabbing

  Hi If you are using a Checked List Box Control into a Tab Control on VB .Net application, then when you switch between tabs, the checked items gets disappeared. This bug is already listed in the Microsoft article. I figured out a way on how to avoid this error.
