• Windows Forms What's the purpose of 'PreviewKeyDown ' event?

  What's the purpose of new 'PreviewKeyDown' event The doc doesn't say much. Is the only difference that it occurs before the 'KeyDown' event If everyone start using this instead, won't it simply replace 'KeyDown' When should I use one or the other I found this excellent answer: http://blogs.msdn.com/jfoscoding/archive/2006/01/26/518181.aspx " If you've struggled before with having to override a class in order to set IsInputKey=true so you can get arrow keys for your control, you can now also use the PreviewKeyDown event." That's apperently what's is for. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VS6 C++ Compile error using "GetAddrInfo"

  Hi, Windows XP SP2. Platform SDK recently downloaded. VS6 C++ SP6. I am using the 'GetAddrInfo' function ( DLL Ws2_32.dll) Header ( Ws2tcpip.h) When compiling I get the error "c:\program files\microsoft platform sdk\include\wspiapi.h(45) : error C2265: '<Unknown>' : reference to a zero-sized array is illegal " I believe there is some 'compatability' issue between IPv4 and IPv6 functions !!

• Visual C# Enterprise or Pro

  I had been using VS2005 Enterpise and then switched to VS 2005 Pro. Now a friend of mine says Enterprise is the better of the two programs. I'm an egotist and want the best. Does any one know which is the better program for sure, not just your opinion. Thank you for any help you can give me.

• Visual Studio Team System Can someone please explain Team System to me

  I've been reading all these comments all over blogs on asp.net, etc.. About how Team System is going to short change individual developers. Seems like the professional version is going to be like EA is now, but I'm not really sure. I like the reverse engineer functions in EA, but I'm not sure what is going to be in each of the versions. The architect version of VSTS sounds cool, but I'm not even sure you can do development with it. Maybe someone at MS can explain the differences between the versions so I can choose which I will need. I would think I would want all the functions at various times, but that may not be possible with th ...Show All
