I have seen other software such as Numara's Trackit which appears to use an MDI Form for the menus and buttons and then a number of child forms for each tab so that those forms become embedded within the parent form. Is it a good idea to use MDI Forms Within the Inventory section of my application, I want to display a dbgrid on a child form so that it ...Show All

• Visual C# How come the Use of Properties in C# is against OOP Fundamentals

  Hey Why is the Indiscriminate use of C# Properties contrary to fundamental design principals of OOP cheers If many properties of an object are being intensively manipulated outside of the object, then that's an indication that perhaps the object should be doing that work itself. This doesn't mean that properties are contrary to OOP principals, but some authors have even tried to make this case. Dav ...Show All

• Visual Studio XSLT Debugger in VS2005 Standard?

  I am having trouble telling from the web site.  The product comparison identically lists "Full XML/XSLT" support for both Standard and Professional, but I had heard at one time that Standard did not include the XSLT debugger. Unfortunately, Standard is the only edition without a trial it seems, so it is difficult to check for oneself. If anyone could clarify whether or not Standard does include XSLT debugging, I would appreciate ...Show All

• Visual Studio Random behaviour with ITaskItem[]

  I have a target that I pass an ItemGroup to. I then call a task that takes this ItemGroup as a parameter and a ITaskItem as another parameter. Sometimes, if I pass an ITaskItem[] to the ITaskItem parameter, MSBuild is clever enough to realise that I want the task called once for each item in the ItemGroup. Most of the time, however, I get this error: Multiple items cannot be passed into a parameter of type "Microsoft.Build.Framework.I ...Show All
