• Graham Williams Can't install VS Beta 2

  Ok... I messed up my PC real bad. I had to repair my Windows 2000 because some files got corrupt (I'm not the only who uses the PC at work). Anyways, after repair I started uninstalling some programs that I didn't need. I had vs.net 2003 architect once but I uninstalled months ago.

• neo_assyrian How to control the set on Data Bound control?

  I have a textBox that is 2-way bound to a DataSource. When the user changes the value in the text box and focus moves to another control, the set operation is triggered, which is expected behavior. However, I would like to initiate the set myself at a different time(maybe while they are typing or perhaps on a button click). How do I link the set portion of the binding to something other than lost focus Thanks NIK Thanks Tin ...Show All

• RossAu42 Can I use third-party compilers with the VS IDE?

  I wish to use GCC with the VS IDE. Is this possible Regards, Asger I found the answer myself: It's possible to setup a cusom build rule for .c+.cpp files that will use a different compiler. Unfortuately it's not possible to setup a linker the same way. -You *could* setup a rule for .o (GCC object files) but that requires the .o files to be included in the project which, of course, isn't desirable. Moreover, yo ...Show All

• gayathri_100 What is the updirection property of a camera?

  I can find nowhere to explain it, including MSDN. quite clear explaination. Thank you, David Describing the orientation of an object in three dimensions is a non-trivial matter -- in fact there are many different methods of describing a single 3D orientation. In this case, instead of a camera, imagine you're moving your head around in 3D space. Imagine that Camera.Position corresponds to the center of your head. After spe ...Show All

• shumifan Display a dialog in a xbap?

  It seems a dialog box could not be shown in a xbap Thanks!
