• Visual Studio Reacting to Tools->Options changes in custom project

  Here is my scenario, I have a custom project and have also implemented some custom Tools->Options pages. Some of those options in the pages I created can deal with how the project is to be displayed. What I am having a hard time finding a way to do, is react when the Tools->Options page is closed. I've tried looking for a command that may come into the projectNode from one of the Exec() statements with no avail. I also tried going through the DTE.Solution.Projects list on save of my options to see if any of my projects are in the solution. The issue here is that all of my projects come back as ComObjects that I can't cast into my project type to call a method on my project to refresh its view. I'm assuming there is a way ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problems deploying .NET WinApp including COM Components and those localized ressources

  Hi, I'm in the middle of a huge project which includes converted vb6 projects (are vb.net by now) and newly developed container applications which includes these converted projects. In fact: i got a vb.net solution by now but some of the projects in this solution are converted from vb6. I'm using .Net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. Now, some of these converted projects still use "old" COM WinForm components, namely the DataGrid Control, DataCombo Control and 2 other 3rd party controls which depend only on mfc41.dll and mfc41ud.dll. They all use ado instead of ado.net, so they depend on the adodb PIA. Now, the problem is that some of these dependecies of the com components seem to be kind of localized resources. I've to s ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it safe to remove a delegate inside its delegated method?

  This sounds a bit strange but it's a real world problem. Say I have an event Disposing and a method F() handles that event. obj.Disposing += new EventHandler(F); ... void F() { ... obj.Disposing -= new EventHandler(F); } Here's the problem, F() is going to remove itself from the invocation list of the Disposing event right at the time it's invoked. I don't find a statement for this in the spec. So could anybody tell whether this is designed to be safe or not guaranteed Thanks in advance.

I talked in general and in general there is an event which is Component.Disposed and a p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Random Number Generation

  Hi, Apologies for the simplicity of this question, but I am very new to VB. I am using it to program Psychology experiments, but am having difficulty. I want to be able to randomise the time between 2 trials, to either 100ms or 1000ms. I only know how to randomise between a set of numbers, not specific numbers that are not concurrent. For example, for multiples of 500ms I used to use the code: c.setattrib "Durat", Random(1,4)*500 But how do I just randomise between 100 & 1000ms ONLY. THANKS! I am using the code in conjunction with E-Prime, an experiment programming software. The number cant be an arbitary one as it needs to be generated during the experiment itself (ie whilst ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing the visual style (gradient)

  Is it possible to remove the gradient from the class boxes Thanks Hello, Visual Studio Class Designer does not provide this option. However, I am told that the CD Power Toys Add-in can add this functionality to the tool. This is useful when printing diagrams, for example. You can download the CD Power Toys Add-in here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx id=fe72608b-2b28-4cc1-9866-ea6f805f45f3 Let me know if you need any further assistance.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can a class run a function within the class it was initiated from?

  I am reasonably new to C#, but have a reasonable understanding of programming in general though I only began to understand the use of OOP a few months back. Basically I have two classed, Schedule and TrayIcon; the TrayIcon class is initiated from within the Schedule class. Obviously it is easy to set the properties and run the methods of TrayIcon from within Schedule. However I need to run a method defined in Schedule from within Tray Icon. At the moment, when I initialize TrayIcon I write "trayIcon TrayIcon = new TrayIcon(this);" and in the TrayIcon constructor I grab the Schedule object. This allows me to run all public methods of Schedule. Although this method works, I feel there must be a better way of doing it; is there ...Show All

• Windows Forms Control values do not refresh

  I have 2 projects: Project 1: A strongly typed dataset with a table etc. I have some code in the ColumnChanged event that looks like this: Select Case e.Column.ColumnName Case Me.columnDISCOUNT.ColumnName Dim r As REQUEST_LINERow = CType(e.Row, REQUEST_LINERow) r.UNIT_COST = r.LINE_PRICE * r.DISCOUNT End Select Project 2: A windows form that has the above dataset placed on it, a BindingSource (bound to the dataset) and several textboxes (bound to the BindingSource).

However the new value does not appear. The new value howev ...Show All

• Visual C# C#, VB6 or Borland C++

  Hello all, I am part of a team of a new company, and we are fighting on what language to use. What are the advantages of C# over all the others. I need hard arguments to make them use C#. Thanks If you're having to fight to use C# over VB6 or Borland C++ then I'd recommend leaving the company and working for a company where you don't have to waste so much time. You can say that one of the big advantages of C# and .NET is that it's very easy to accommodate modern versions of the other two languages you mentioned (VB.NET and C++/CLI) once you're working in the .NET framework.

• Visual Studio Remote Debug VS2005 Debug Symbols Not loaded

  I am receiving the following message while attempting to remote debug an application: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document." I have successfully installed the remote debugging components on the server. I am able to attach to the remote process fine. My program is just waiting for a request in order to start executing, but it will not be able to do such since the debug symbols are not loaded on the remote server. On my dev machine, I've located the debug symbols for my application in the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\.... folder, but this still does not fix the problem. Suggestions, please. Am I pulling the right debug symbol ...Show All
