• Visual Studio msi installer with 1.1 build output?

  Hi all, I have just migrated to VS 2005 and I am very interested by the potential of the MSBee tool. I read the documentation carefully and I could reproduce the described scenario up to section 4.4 of the document. I could build successfully two .NET assemblies against the 1.1 framework: the first one was a 'Windows application' project, the second one was a 'Class library' project. In each case the msbuild utility created a folder named FX1_1 under the directory obj of the project directory. I choosed the option /p:Configuration=Release on the command line, and thus the build output was generated under a subfolder named Release . ...Show All

• Visual Basic Edit And Continue won't let me make changes ... why?

  Hi, My main reason for downloading the Visual Studio 2005 professional beta was to get the edit & continue functionality that I miss so much from VB6. However, when I break into my code at a break point and start to make a change the IDE tells me that: "You have made edits to the sourcecode that cannot be applied.  Changes are not allowed if debugging has started via attach.  If you continue to debug, your source code and application will not match." What What is "debugging via attach".   Of course the only bit of the help system that I need is broken when I click on help for edit & continue in VB!! Can anyone t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office A very technical (I think) VSTO startup question

  What is different on a system before VSTO customized document is loaded and after Let me explain. We've got a Word customization that takes 58 seconds to load the first time after a reboot, but only 18 seconds thereafter. Our customization is installed in the GAC, is NGEN'd, and rather large. We have a shimmed managed Word addin that starts .NET CLR with the STARTUP_LOADER_OPTIMIZATION_MULTI_DOMAIN flag so that multiple documents don't require all of our assemblies for each document. We've also found through experimentation that loading a differently customized document (i.e. a new Word VSTO project) before loading our customized doc ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I show the remaining chars in a limited textbox ?

  Hi I wrote a simple Messaging application. I write the message to send into a textbox which I limited to 160 chars. Now I want a textlabel below the messagebox which shows me the remaining chars So for example I've written 50 letters into the textbox, the textlabel should show 110. Whats the best solution to solve this Many thanks zipfeli It can be more elegant because now you have the number 160 hard coded in you code, but you can better read the MaxLenght property: private void textBox1_TextChanged( object sender, System.EventArgs e) { label1.Text = String.Format( "You have {0} char ...Show All

• Visual C# app.TaskVisible = false

  How is this done with my main form with C# app.TaskVisible = false The D wrote: If what you are trying to do is make your main form not show up in task bar... About half way into this article is some info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dncscol/html/csharp06102002.asp --- Excerpt { --- That now means that I can make the main form disappear. The first two steps to do this are easy. You set the ShowInTaskbar property to false and the WindowState to minimized, and the window vanishes. That's not the whole story, however, as you can still get to the window using the ALT+TAB key combination. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewLinkColumn - How to catch the click event

  I've got a windows form with a DataGridView control, bound to a dataset, with one of the columns set to a DataGridViewLinkColumn. This is fine - displays the link nicely. Question is - how to you capture when the user clicks on the link. I know I can catch the user clicking in the cell, but that doesnt feel quite right to me. Is there a way of attaching an event that fires when someone actuall clicks on the link I'd like it to work in the same way as a standard LinkButton, something like this .preferenceLink.LinkClicked += new System.Windows.Forms.
