• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why the reverse German-like syntax?

  Why do the LINQ queries have to look like a SQL query in German   If you are trying to make it easier and are adding SQL-like keywords to the language, at least keep the ordering the same as SQL. The way this is, I have to know C#, SQL for triggers and stored procedures, and LINQ for the in-code queries.  I don't see how this is going to make my life any easier. As I recall from the spec, the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Supplemental driver install failing

  I have just installed Vista B1 on a second machine. And both have had similar problems, in that Vista doesn't like either of their ethernet cards. The first machine was about 5 years old, so I just suspected that its age was the culprit. The second just came in through the door yesterday from Dell. It is a Dual-CPU Intel box, still with that fresh new styrofoam packing material smell, but Vista still fails on it. The Supplemental Driver Insta ...Show All

• Windows Forms Advanced: How do I use devenv to set a property of the project

  I have a setup project which builds my msi.  It turns out the ProductCode property of the project needs to be changed on every build to enable it to be upgradeable.  Since we have an automated build, I naturally can't do this in the IDE every 20 minutes.     We are using deven which looks like it has options to execute commands in the commandwindow.  I am wondering if there is a way to execute a command in the comma ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro OWC11.PivotTable

  I've tried to play with MSGraph for some time and after not getting very far yet (although I got some graphs) I downloaded MS Office Pro 2003 enterprise Edition and found out that there seem to be richer controls out there. In particular I am trying to work with OWC11.ChartSpace , OWC11.PivotTable and OWC11.SprreadSheet . I have resigned to the fact that I would have to use MS Excel Spreadsheet as an interim container between my tables and the g ...Show All

• Windows Forms Very strange ComboBox databinding problem

  Hi, this problem really drives me nuts. I have a custom ComboBox, which derives from the normal ComboBox control. I'm setting the DataSource of the ComboBox in my code to a DataTable and also set DisplayMember and ValueMember. So, the binding in general works fine, but here's the odd part: Depending on what is selected I color the background of the ComboBox differently. To achieve this effect when the DataSource changed i overwrite the OnDataS ...Show All
