• Windows Forms GDI+ borderless/transparent form bugs... No context menu in taskbar. Maximizes on top of taskbar.

  Does anyone know of any workarounds for these bugs   When I build a form with no border and transparency key (to make a non-rectangular custom-skinned form with a Region), I get no context menu in the taskbar (right-click -> move/resize/minimize/maximize/restore/close), and when I maximize the form it doesn't respect the taskbar boundary and will go full-screen. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Where should a project system implement IVsGetCfgProvider

  Hello, Based on the BscPrj sample and the MPF project sample, a project system implements IVsCfgProvider on the same object that implements IVsHierarchy. Should a project system always implement IVsGetCfgProvider on the same object as IVsHierarchy   This seems to be the case in the sample code but doesn't seem to happen in C# nor VB .NET projects.  I'm listening for OnAfterOpenProject in my package, which passes in IVsHierarchy reference.  In the case of the sample projects, I can do a QI to get the IVsGetCfgProvider interface.  This doesn't work for C# nor VB .NET projects. Thanks, Notre ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista AERO GLASS (PLEASE HELP) (MVP´s would be great)

  In builds 5219 and 5231 aero glass worked fine in my ati radeon 9250, now in build 5259 doesn’t seems to work anymore, even with the "enablemachinecheck" tweak. What’s wrong   A quick guess would be you are using a different driver now, proably an in box one that isn't LDDM since the 5259 build isn't a public and would probably not have a supplemental driver pack. you shouldn't be using this build unless you are a TAP member and if you were one of those, you shouldn't be post your issues here. I would recommend going back to the 5231 build until next week when according to many news sources we a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Shared Excel Worksheet on Sharepoint

  I am contemplating the purchse of VSTO to replace some vba on an excel spreadsheet. This vba connects to 2 datasources (SQL), enables a user to enter their name and retrieve only their data, make changes and save the changes (only change the spreadsheet data, not underlying data source). The idea is to put this in a shared workspace on SP Portal and have all 6 of the people update their data and combine for viewing by the VP. I have working but with vba it's megaslow...10 minutes or more to upload. Will VSTO solve this problem Can I use VSTO to write shared excel sheets and put them up on Sharepoint THANKS I have a deadline....:( ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Replicator and correlation

  Has anyone successfully used the replicator with a sequence of invoke method/event sink activities I've tried adapting various samples but can't get this to work. I have created a ChildInitialize method to access the invoke and event activities and set their properties but the property I can't set is the CorrelationReference as this need to be set to be an ActivityBind. If anyone has a sample of this then it would be most gratefully received. Much obliged, David.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing VS Express software using Group Policy

  I work for a school and we recently decided to start a programming class.  I would like to know of an easy way to install VS Express software via Group Policy to multiple computers.  If the installer was an MSI file it would be easy.  Is there an msi file for these programs   If not is there another free way to do this Bandwidth would not be an issue since the install would be to a machine (not a user) in the middle of the night when no one is at the school. As for teaching them how to install it, that might not be a bad idea ... I will suggest it to the teacher.  If she is ...Show All

  When I create a new typed dataset on v2 by dragging the tables into a dataset component surface I get a lot of stuff that I don't want like dataadapters, queries, connection strings, etc.  I want a type dataset the way v1.1 used to do since I have my stored procs and I use SqlHelper for for all dataadaptor creation, etc. How can I get that   I can't work with this new way that seems designed for unskilled users but that makes things more complicated for me.
