• Windows Forms A quick DataGridView question

  Is there a way to set the back color of all cells in a DGV without having to iterate through them one at a time ie. Is there a command that will affect all the cells at once Thanks... Setting the default cell style will work on all cells that have not had a different style specifically applied to them. If you have already changed the backcolor of some cells then they will not be affected by a change to the default cell style backcolor. If you need to change them all to another colour you may have little option other than to iterate through all the cells but beware of setting the styles on a large number of cells as this can be inefficient as it creates a cell style object for every cell.

  Hey , I just started using XNA Game Studio Express . When I load the Spacewar Starter Kit and press start to test the game there is only Xbox 360 functions , Is there any way I can play this using my PC keyboard or send this to my Xbox 360 .

• Windows Forms [HELP]Placing code to move a component to an specific location does not working!

  Hi friends, I'm implementing a CustomControlDesigner class in an UserControl . The class ControlDesigner has a method called OnCreatedHandle () that provides an opportunity to perform additional processing immediately after the control handle has been created. So... I placed the following code to move "automatically" the component for a specific location into the hostdesigner: protected override void OnCreateHandle () {     base.OnCreateHandle();     // Implemented by [CFQueb] 9/6/2006, 9:42     if (base.Control.GetType() == typeof(MyCompany.Objects.QCutArea))     {         // especificamos el tamano     & ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Certification Test Cases V1.2 Test Case 18

  Hi, question concerning ProductVersion-Property of installer package: is it necessary that this number must correspond with ProductVersion-Property of the executables or is it allowed that there are differences (My problem is, that we had used same Version-number for File- and Product-Version property of the executables whereas major number is the year of release (e.g. 2007). While validating msi package ICE24 error occurs). Concretly: can I set ProductVersion of msi to 7.1.0.0 and File/ProductVersion of MyApp.exe to 2007.1.0.0 We've been working with this group Keystone that has been real helpful with answering questions and keeping us updated on the certification program.

• Visual C++ Qualifying a friend function

  The following code suffers from infinite recursion.  Other than changing the name of GetDistance that's "scoped" in Foo or in Base<Foo> and its derivitive Bar, how would I go about changing this code so that Bar::GetDistance delegates to the GetDistance that's "scoped" in Foo class Foo { public :    friend double GetDistance( Foo& f1, Foo& f2 )    {      return 0; // or some distance metric     } }; template < class T> class Base {     virtual double GetDistance( T& f1, T& f2 ) = 0; }; class Bar : Base<Foo> { public :     /*override*/ double GetDistance( Foo& f1, Foo& f2 )    { &n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Application level addin

  There has been a lot of talk about not being able to create an application level addin using VSTO 2.0 I have created something that kind of mimics it. Let me explain 1. Create a VSTO solution, call it VSTO_Addin.xls 2. Add code in workbook_open event to add custom menus 3. Now attach routines to the custom menus which does manipulation using Activeworkbook, Activesheet so on .. for ex - To display the name of the active workbook, messagebox.show (Globals.thisworkbook.application.activeworkbook.name), kindof get the drift 4. Set the thisworkbook.addin property to true for VSTO_Addin.xls Run Excel, open VSTO_Addin.xls, since the addin = true this workbook will not be visible but the custom menus are!! Now click on the me ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums WLM Showing as Offline all the time

  My friend has a problem with his MSN. When he signs in as Online or any other status, it shows him as Appearing Offline all the time. He has tried installing different versions of MSN too, and still it didn't fix it. He has tried logging in from a different computer and still had the same problem. But, he registered a new account and the problem was gone... so it's just a problem with his main MSN account. Does anyone know what this might be, and how to fix it :) Congratulations, PiaMaria . You have solved the issue for me and probably many people in the future. Let's hope the WLM team can come up with a quick fix for this Yahoo! Messenger problem. Many thanks.
