• Visual Studio Multiple DSL's using the same file extension

  Hi all, I have a general question about the use of file extensions in DSL's. If I have two DSL using the same file extension and VisualStudio is confusing them. I see two possible solutions, but cannot find whether they are possible. Is it possible to change the extension used for a DSL model file You can give an extension when creating a new DSL project, but I already have two existing DSL projectsd with the same extension. Is it possble to "deregister" an extension and open it up for use with another DSL The exact situation that I have is described below: For the first DSL that I created I used the .uip file ex ...Show All

• Visual Basic Migrating usage of VB6 control arrays to 2005. How do I do this?

  Hi again. Need some advice and I'm new to VB2005. In VB6 I used control arrays a lot, and there are no control arrays in 2005. I found out how I can do the same thing by referencing the handles in a sub, but I have another scenario not covered in MS's migration page. To make it simple, let's say I have 10 labels and I want to pick one randomly and display text in it. In VB6 I could have all these labels in an array and do this (quazi code) I = (random number generated between 1 and 10) Labels(I).text = "i was randomly picked!" I need to do the same thing in VB2005, but don't know how because each control has to have a different name, I don't ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums API Questions

  I've run into a couple of issues in my development. Both are easy enough to work around but I'd prefer clarification if possible. The first issue is with the response. I seem to be getting a garbage character at the beginning of my response stream. This is preventing me from duming the response directly into the XmlDocument.Load() method. To verify I wrote a console stub and dumped the stream to the screen and it shows as a " " there. I've worked around this by writing the stream to a string then checking for the first occurance of the "<" and passing the substring from there into the .LoadXml() method instead but it feels very hackish ...Show All

• Visual C# Debug Output in Visual C# Express (Beta 2)

  Hi! Does any of you here know why I'm not getting my output from Debug.WriteLine (and the likes) in VC# Express I tried to turn on any setting I could find that mentioned something about debugging, but when I do a simple Debug.WriteLine("Hello World"); I cannot see the output in the Debug Output window. Any clues Thanks in advance, Patrick I found it mentioned at the MSDN Feedback center. Should've looked there before posting here.

• Windows Forms What is "Out of Memory" when I have lots?

  VS.NET 2003 I have a OwnerDrawFixed ComboBox.  Sometimes, only sometimes but too frequently, when I click or is scrolling through the list (5 items) I get an Out of Memory exception in the DrawItem event handler at the point where I was drawing a dashed line (my drop down list is a list of dash styles).  The exact error is "'System.OutOfMemoryException' occurred in system.drawing.dll" I have plenty of memory.  A cursory check with Task Manager shows that it is using only low tens of MB.  I put a Debug.WriteLine statement in the event handler, and the handler is called only a few times before it crashes.  What i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Which Control did I RightClick on?

  hi all... Is it possible to find out which control a user rightclicked on and show the name of the control in a messagebox For example I have three buttons on a form and a contextmenu that is used in common with all the buttons. When a user rightclicks on a button the context menu is shown. Kind of like the "Whats This" menu in MS Apps. So instead of writing a rightclick event for all of the controls on the form, I thought that if I could find the name of the control that the user rightclicked on to open to context menu, I could show the appropriate response. Is there a way to find if a coordinate of the mouse click falls ...Show All
