• Visual Studio Team System New team projects and documents on SP Services...

  When I create a new Team Project from within VSTS2005, why can't I check out documents just like I check them out on SharePoint Services Thank you, Sammy Presuming you mean from Team Explorer, check-in/check-out of documents from Windows SharePoint Services is not supported in this version. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Build an Action Pane Across All Document Types?

  In VSTO 2005, is it possible to build an action pane which is accessible across all documents   Rather than associating an action pane to a single document or single template, I'd like to have something (exposed in an action pane) which is available to -all- documents opened in Word.  I understand that Word add-ins have the global availability that I want but I don't believe add-in functionality can be exposed via a pane, can they There is some functionality which we'd like to provide as a service to all of our documents and we'd like to expose its user-interface in an action pane (or a similar pane like the research pane).&n ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2.0 and 1.1 ???

  I am bit confused about .Net 2.0...my question is: Can i run .Net 1.1 or .Net 1.0 applications using .Net 2.0 and Can i build .Net 2.0 Applications using Visual Studio 2003 thanks Humayun Shabir SourceSystems.net Hi Humayun, in general .NET Framework 2.0 was created to extend the .NET Framework 1.1 and not to change. Although there were certain design issues that resulted in changes to be more consistent along .NET Framework as a whole. All the potential issues arising from that are here: http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx st=b&na=88&View=en-us&qu=breaking+changes+1.1+2 ...Show All

My form is called, claddagh_database, which is linked to data from an access database using Jet 4.0 I have some fields with money values in, Total value inc VAt, Deposit, Stage Payment & Balance Payment.

• Smart Device Development CF doesn't handle new lines as \r\n ??

  I wrote a simple control which used the Graphics.DrawString method to draw some text.  When the text contained a newline "\r\n" it would only display correctly when I ran the app on my desktop, but when I ran it on the Pocket PC emulator it displayed the newline as 2 square boxes. Unfortunately Enviroment.NewLine doesn't exist in the CF and I even tried using the Stringbuilder.AppendLine (it doesn't exist in the CF) or anything that could get me a valid newline. Is it that Graphics.DrawString() method in the compact framework that cannot handle newlines tried that already before, it does not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Type or Namespace can't be found when it truly exists

  Hi, I have a problem with using a dll reference that exists, but can't be referenced in code without an error 'The type or namespace name 'xxx' could not be found.' If I create a new project, and include a dll reference (the db4o dll actually) in my project. I can then include it typing 'using com.db4o;' and everything works. However, I have an old C# project that has the same code but it referenced an older version of db4o.dll. So I deleted that reference and created a new one. I have confirmed it points to the new dll and I can browse the reference by double-clicking on it - and I can find this: public class Db4o Member of com.db4o Howev ...Show All

• .NET Development StreamReader encoding detection problem

  I am having a problem with automatic BOM detection that used to work in 1.1. A trivial way to reproduce the problem is to do the following StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( "c:\\somefile" , true ); If you put a breakpoint after this line of code and look at sr, you will see that its internal member _detectEncoding is false and as a result encoding detection is never done. I dont see (using Reflector) anything in the logic of the constructor that could cause this to be false - it should be true at this point. I must be doing something silly here - hope someone can point me at the error off my ways   Thanks    ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing a child control from a parent

  I have a WebBrowser Control on a TabPage. The TabPage is created dynamically at runtime. When the Tabpage is created I also add a WebBrowser Control to it. I need to know how to access the WebBrowser Control from my Tab Page. Please keep in mind that both the TabPage and WebBrowser Controls are created at run time. Thank you. Each control, including the main form, has a Controls collection which you can iterate through looking for the control you want. Or, you could create member variables and store them there, seeing as you're creating only one of each, you don't need to use a collection for that. ...Show All

• Visual C# Need advice for developing a client frontend.

  I have an application that recevies information from a server.  I'm developing a plugin of sorts for this application, a DLL which the main application forwards the information to.  We'll call the DLL "Plugin".  Now, in the Plugin I am instantiating a form with various buttons and whatnot whose purpose is to toggle variables in Plugin, we'll call the form "ControlCenter".  The flow goes something like this: 1. Main application loads Plugin.DLL, and begins forwarding data to it from the server. 2. Plugin.DLL optionally creates a new instance of the ControlCenter form which contains buttons, checkboxes, etc for setting vari ...Show All
