• Visual Studio Express Editions grrrr - registering

  For some reason the registration page says my email address is invalid so i can't get the key, but its the same one i logged on with. Help Thanks!! Same here. I downloaded yesterday (7/19/2006) and made it through the email portion, but I never got an email. No, my ISP doesn't block it. No, it is not in my junk folder. I decided to wait 24 hours to try again and now all I get is an invalid email notification. I can't register and seem to have no other options. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "PDF-like" scrolling

  I'm creating an application displaying a map and would like to use the same type of scrolling often used when browsing PDF documents (where the scrollable content is "dragged" by the mose). Is there any support for this or do I have to implement this functionallity from scratch Thanks A possible solution is to have an image inside a thumb and then listen to the drag delta event - scroll by the amount of horizontal/vertical change. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get color scheme name?

  I'm looking for Windows API function to get the color scheme name on Vista. GetCurrentThemeName() function is not good because the filename returned is the same for both Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic. But I need something to know if the color scheme is Aero or Vista Basic because I'm doing different things based on the color scheme. Thanks! There's only one color scheme for both Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic, so GetCurrentThemeName() is the valid function to use. To check whether composition is enabled, use DwmIsCompositionEnabled() . To query the current glass color, use DwmGetColorizationColor() . ...Show All

• .NET Development How does Process.Start() redirection work?

    Hi All,      I've been working on creating a program that automates my program building and testing.  I am doing the code in C#, but there is a problem with the StreamReader.ReadLine() function where if it tries to read from a Process output pipe before the Process finishes writing to the pipe, it causes the thread reading from the pipe to block and the process then blocks too.  However, if the process is short lived, I have a likelier chance of getting all the output.  So now, I'm testing the Win32 API equivelants and a portion that I'm having issues on is collecting the stdout and stderr on process's children processes (the output is collected properly in .NET).    My que ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Why does Word not tell you why an AddIn won't load

  Hi; Can someone please tell me why Word does not tell you why an AddIn fails to load I can understand that Word 97 when it was new might have missed something so critically obvious to anyone who ever wrote an AddIn. But Word 2003 This strikes me as totally brain dead. Yes I know VSTO eliminates some/all of this - but we have to support back to Word 2000 so that doesn't help us. Plus based on what a couple of people on the VSTO team told me, it should not be used for a commercial AddIn. Ok, it's been about 3 weeks so time for this problem again. This time it's on my development machine. It was running my AddIn fine when I launched the debugger and now it doesn't. How do I figure out what is wrong It is not in the disabled ite ...Show All
