• Visual Studio Tools for Office Context-sensitive Actions pane: Odd update behavior

  I have an Excel workbook that contains two named Ranges: OrderDate and ShipDate. When I select either of these cells, I want the Actions pane to display a user control that contains a label and a DateTimePicker control. I want the user control to show up in the Actions pane only when one of these cells is selected, so I have code on the ranges' Selected and Deselected event handlers to add or remove the control (see code below--SetDate is the name of the user control). The solution works fine when I put my cursor on OrderDate and then move to ShipDate. It also works fine when I move from any other cell to either OrderDate or ShipDate. The so ...Show All

• Visual Studio Language Service Options - what's the correct approach?

  What is the recommended approach to adding options to a Language Service DialogPage provides an easy way to add Options pages. Visual Studio then manages the presentation and serialization, but it seems hard to access the values actually in the page each time via the DTE. What is the role of the LanguagePreferences class The documentation suggests extending it, but they you have to manage the serialization, loading, etc. The XML Editor seems to take the approach of extending the LanguagePreferences class to add it's own options, and adding customized DialogPage-derived pages which update it's extended LanguagePreferences i.e. it does ...Show All

• Visual Studio connections restrictions between shapes fail

  hi, i want to restrict the connections between two shapes. I did this by using public override bool CanCreateConnection( ShapeElement sourceShape, ShapeElement targetShape, ref string connectionWarning) for the accordant connector class. e.g there is ShapeA & ShapeB. The problem is, that i can connect ShapeA with ShapeB, if i move the mouse over the "text decoration" of ShapeB although this is forbidden by the conncetor restriction. The restriction works fine, when i move over the shape area of ShapeB and not the "text decoration" of ShapeB. How can i define restrictions for the whole shape, includin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cntl - A or Cntl-F in a multiline text box

  Why can't I use either in a multiline text box.  Cntl-A is most important for me, rather than having to click at the top and scroll down the whole text. dennist685 Hi, I just sent you a mail containing the project that I tinkered with. Try tweaking it and to find out what part of your code is missing... BTW, got a problem on sending a rar file to gmail. So I removed the extension.

• Visual C++ BUG; isalnum - asserts in debug build

  If you try (using VS2005) isalnum('￡') then you get an assert. The problem lies in '￡' being cast to an int -93. This is then cast to an unsigned and checked to see if it is withing 0 to 255. As -93 cast to an unsigned will give a huge number, we then get an assert. Andy Cooper From MSDN: When used with a debug CRT library, isalnum will display a CRT assert if passed a parameter that isn't EOF or in the range of 0 through 0xFF. When used with a debug CRT library, isalnum will use the parameter as an index into an array, with undefined results if the parameter isn't EOF or in the ra ...Show All

• Visual Basic Loading .txt files

      Hello, I am sort of new to Visual Basic, but I have completed some tutorials. I can't find information on how to make a menu with Open File for example, in it, then make it open a file such as .txt.

• Visual Studio Team System Solution in same folder as web project

  Hi, Added a file based web project, saved the solution file in the same folder as the web project then added to team server. (NOTE: Team server was quite happy about this and it works fine with no problems on my machine) When another user opens from source control, they pick a folder on their local machine but then visual studio "Remaps" the location of the project and creates another subfolder inside the existing folder and moves the web site into it. Is this becuase its not supported to have a solution file inside the web projects folders If so why did it let me add one like this NOTE: Using Final relase of visual stu ...Show All

• Visual C# INullableValue removed from .NET 2.0 RTM??

  I began the process of upgrading one of our Beta2 applications to run under the 2.0 RTM and the compiler is complaining that INullableValue cannot be found in the System namespace. Using the object browser I can verify that there isn't a INullableValue interface defined in the mscorlib assembly version 2.0.50727. Was it intentionally removed If so, why has the documentation not been updated to reflect that change The code I am trying to use has this form: if ( value is INullableValue && ( (INullableValue) value ).HasValue == false ) {    //do something } else if ( value == null ) {    //d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector3.Project() doesn't work.

  I guess I posted this in the wrong forum the first time... I'm trying to project the location of a mesh in world space back to screen coords. I've been searching around with no real luck. I've seen people say that you should use Matrix.Identity instead of your world matrix, but that makes no difference for me at the moment. It's not that the code causes an error, it doesn't. It's just that after projecting pos, it remains almost identical to what it was, off by about 0.5. Considering my values are typically in the hundreds, this is a minor rounding error. I get the exact same results using Unproject(). I would have expected that proje ...Show All
