• Windows Forms Databind short date to masked text box

  I'm having a hard time binding a DateTime column of a typed dataset to a masked textbox. I have a masked textbox with the mask of 00/00/0000. The binding works, sort of, but if the date is something like: 02/14/2005 then the textbox drops the leading zero giving me 21/42/005, which is obviously not what I want. I opened a bug on this (FDBK29210) and was told the problem wasn't with the textbox, but rather with the databinding. A comment on the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Console Applications only work on computer with the IDE

  I'm using a text book to learn C++ and am writing my first programs. They compile fine and work the way I want them to, from Visual Studio or Windows Explorer.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to go 'backwards' in a sequential workflow?

  Hello I am planning on using a sequential workflow to drive a wizard-style form interface with [next] and [previous] buttons. Most (all ) examples of sequential workflows I've seen show the flow proceeding from the start to the finish. My requirements are that the user is able to click the [previous] button at any time and be moved to the previous activity in his/her workflow. E.g. Say I have a flow like this: A / \ B ...Show All

I have not used a pure 64-bit version of Windows so I do not know what versions of the framework are supported by it but to the best of my knowledge 2.0 is the first fram ...Show All
