• Visual C++ ComboBox that hides the arrow buton if only one element is in the list

  Hello! I need a ComboBox that hides the drop down button if only one or zero elements are in the list and acts/displays itself simply as a textbox. I thought of two ways to do that: 1. Create completely new user control with a textbox, button and listBox 2. Inherit from ComboBox and place a textbox in front of the whole combox if only one/zero element is in the list and hide that textbox if more are in it. For suggestion 1 I would feel like reinventing the wheel and for solution 2 I think it could become hard to think of any possible events, focus, colors,... that would need to be transfered to the textbox. Is there any cleaner solution for this I can't believe that this is a very uncommon wished behavior. Thanks f ...Show All

• Gadgets Slideshow Flickr gadget: works both online/offline

  I would like to see a Flickr slideshow gadget that has two states, online and off. 1. When online a users would either a) have their widget log into their account and start streaming new/old/all photo's from 'favs', b) stream photo's from a select list of RSS feeds or c) stream photo's from desired tags 2. When offline (this happens a lot to laptop users) instead of the gadget remaining black it would seamlessly switch to HDD images streaming either: a) by folder or b) by tags I think this would be a solid gadget, anyone fancy making it. No of course I can't code, I'm just an ideas man. Ta, Samuel, UK ...Show All

• Visual Studio Underwhelmed by Sandcastle

  I've noticed that the feedback on Sandcastle has been generally positive. Maybe I'm in a minority of one, but I felt I had to get this off my chest. <rant> Having initially dismissed the first Sandcastle release as immature, I've come back several months later to try out the December CTP. My requirements are, I believe, simple and mainstream. I want to generate documentation for a product consisting of a few class libraries and integrate it with VS2005 help. The document should be generated automatically as part of the build process. With .NET 1.1 and VS2003, this was easy to do with a batch file that calls NDocConsole, which in turn generates a configuration file for the easy-to-use H2Reg utility. I can then call H2Reg in a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Startup Items? & Hiding / showing forms?

  Basicly I'am requesting this: How does one create a 2 forms that you can move back and forth from though each form your NOT using will hide, on top of this, how do I dispose of one form and then come back to the form as a new instance.

When I create a project, since all code is verified against the local SQL Express DB when the views are read in the verification takes palce and it states that it can't find the content DB. The only way to get around it is to intall dumy Content DB on the SQL express instance with objects that are refrenced in Catalog DB. For a DBA this is not a big deal but instructing 50 developers on how to do it and supporting changes to each of thair machines is a big deal.

Workers who produce a greater quantity of output are often paid at a higher rate. Use text boxes to obtain the person's name and the number of pieces completed.

• Visual Studio Team System Can I Stop the Playback automatically if Test fails

  Hi, I have recorded a web application using webtest. On playing back, due to server error, a page shows "sorry for inconvienience, Please try again later". But schoked to see the test has PASS status and continue to run the next request. Kindly clarify what could have been Thanks - Vijay. If your site is redirecting to a friendly error page when an error occurs the http status codes returned will likely be 300's (for the redirects) and then 200 - OK on the error message page, which won't be seen as an error by playback. You could potentially use a Validation Rule (find text probably) to detect this, or generate a coded test and add a postrequest event handler to the request, another opt ...Show All

• .NET Development Difference between 'string' ans 'String'

  Hi all, I am new to this forum. I have a basic doubt regarding the System.String class. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between "String" and "string". Thanks in advance.......... That's not true. varname is declared as type System.String and not string. string matches with System.String. It's important that people understand that both are exactly the same. In other languages, for example JAVA they are different! ...Show All
