• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Looking for a XAML sample that uses UniformGrid

  Does anyone have any sample code that uses a UniformGrid element in XAML For example, a UniformGrid with 2 rows and 2 columns with each cell holding a control, eg a button. Thanks. Pete Blois has an excellent example of using it for Tiling elements in his Minesweeper game (I think it has not been ported to the Jan CTP of WPF, but it should help): http://blois.us/blog/2005_09_01_houseomirrors_archive.html Also, you could use Expression Interactive Designer to play with the it and view the markup. Thanks, Unni ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamicly add controls to a form from a thread

  I have a thread that runs in a loop and needs to cause some user controls to display in a winform periodically. The user controls are created inside the thread and passed to the winform to be added to the Controls collection and shown. Well that was the plan. Its not working at all and Im sure it has to do with the thread. I thought that setting Form. CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = true would help, but it does not. I've tried checking for Me.InvokeNeeded (on the form) and that always returns false. I've tried using events to get it done also, and nothing has succeeded. It seems to only work when the instance of the user control is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build failures after upgrade to RTM trial

  Hi, We just moved from RC to RTM trial. In doing so, we did not go through upgrade process but rather made a clean install of trial edition which will update with product key when our vendor gets them to us. Anyhow, I've added my source back to a new team project and created my team build and updated TFSBuild.proj to the one I had working in RC. I also created a simple test build for the same project via team build wizard. The simple build works fine meaning it gets source, builds binaries, and drops on unc. The build that I migrated gets source fine but then hangs in MsBuild.exe. If I kill the msbuild.exe on server then the team build will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I view Console.Writeline?

    I'm rather new to programming. I've read two VB Express books and everything that I could find concerning Console.Writeline, and yet I still cannot figure out how to view what I write to it.
