• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) vs 2005 express an march orcas

  I am a bit confused with the downloads and maybe someone can help I am running vista and I have VS2005 C# Express and Blend. In order to develop xaml apps between express and blend what do I need to download As far as I can see I need the march orcas but that also points me to a batch of other downloads and do I need the VS extensions as well  Do I also need virtual pc thank you for any assistance Once you are using VS Orcas, the VS Extensions are no longer necessary. VS "Orcas" March CTP > VS 2005 + VS Extensions You can choose to run Orcas inside a Virtual PC, or install it as normal. Thanks, Rob Relyea ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListBox and Mouse Capture

  I use ListView (which derived from ListBox) to display graphical data. Each ListViewItem consist of single column and that column display a Path element which its Data property is bound to my data item. My data items have dependencies between them and I would like to display those dependencies when the user right-click on a graphical element. I hook into MouseRightButttonDown event and display the information. On the MouseRightButtonUp I stop display that information.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) VB over C#?

  I have read this article on LINQ project: http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/linq/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/linqprojectovw.asp#linqprojec_topic9 And after looking at the code I can see that in VB (which I don't know and don't like) the new syntax looks intuitive while in C# (which I do know and like so far) it looks unnatural and confusing. What the hell   I think you are stressing over the sections which discuss the new language features that enable LINQ (lambda's, expression trees, extension methods, etc). If you just look at the basic query syntax, I think you won't be as confused or see as much difference between the VB and C# implementation. Note t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Every time while relocate : Add Files to Project

  Hi, In our project there are many files I have to add from different directories. And that is working fine. But if I relocate that project folder then path of all the added files is changed. And I have to delete those files and add the same files again every time. Is there any way to give relative path to this files so if I change the location then I need not add all the files again. Thanks The files are always added using a relative path as long as this is possible (that is when the file you add is on the same drive as the project file). Note that even if you use relative paths you need to move both the project and the files and keep the same "relativeness" between them. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Error deploying PocketPC Resource Files

  Hello all. I have developed an application for .NET CompactFramework 2.0. Such application is to be multilingual: Spanish and Catalan. When I debug the application the multilingual feature runs awesome. It puts each resource file "MyApp.resources.dll" in each of its respective folders "es/" and "ca/". The problem is when I create the installer cab: It puts the "ca/MyApp.resources.dll" into the "es/" folder, therefore overriding the spanish language resource assembly. Then, when I try to change the application to spanish I get the "MissingManifestResourceException" because it doesnt find the assembly. I have ildasm'ed the "es/MyApp.resources.dll" and it is indeed th ...Show All
