• Visual Studio Autorun does not work

  I attended the VS/SQL Server 2005 Launch in Dallas on 11/30.  I have been trying to install the software received from this event, but cannot install VS 2005.  When I insert the disk in my dvd/cd nothing happens.  When I double click autorun.bat nothing happens.  I contacted my local support which then directed me to the "event help" and told them of the problem.  A week later I get a new CD for disk 2.  Guess what, same problem.  Called event support again and am told they only report the issues and cannot answer any technical questions.  So, has anyone had this problem   Is it worth the frustrat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Snippets - Is there a db that tells what snippets do?

  There are so many snippets provided by Microsoft that it is difficult to know whether there is a snippet already written that does what you want or not.  It has occured to me that it would be helpful if there was some sort of database or list of the snippets with a description of what each snippet does. Is there such a list or database   If so, where is it and how may I access it Thank You They are stored as XML and if remeber correctly you can set local snippets in your vs05 profile or via the TFS (Not sure about the TFS) and you can also add the description for the snippet.

• Visual Studio Express Editions API Declarations

  How would I go about creating an API declaration I mean in Visual Basic the API declaration for timeGetTime is Private Declare Function timeGetTime Lib "winmm.dll" () As Long and in C# it's: [DllImport("winmm.dll")] private static extern long timeGetTime(); How would I perform the same task in C++ Thanks in advance The API was designed to be used in C/C++. It's the other languages where you have to hack in the API with these weird declarations. First, note that the MSDN help for the APIs write code in C (not C#/VB/Java). Next note at the bottom of the MSDN help it shows something like: Requirement ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Learning C++

  Where would be the best place to learn C++ This question has been asked and answered quite a few times before. I suppose the best place to learn C++ is to enrol on some course that teaches it (many computer science related degrees offer it at least as an option). Failing that, the next best option would be to read a few books on C++ (some great choices have been at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=107484&SiteID=1 , and orcmid has reviewed some of the books himself). Also in that thread I mentioned are links to sites which have quite good free tutorials on C++, for those on a budget. The codezone commun ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do make progress bar work on the working interface?

  Hi, I am programming two interfaces for a Windows application: interface1 is the main interface, and there is a button on it. When I click the button on the interface1, the interface2 should be shown. But it will take long time to display the interface2 (the working interface), since the interface2 is doing many computings. I would like to set a progress bar so that the interface2 can display immediately after I click the button on the interface1. After the interface2 display, we can see the progress growing step by step. Could anyone provide a sample program Thanks in advance. Moreover, I use the following codes to make the interface2 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF and SCORM

  Is there any research or effort ongoing at Microsoft (James ) on using WWF in a SCORM compliant solution I'm referring to the ADL Sequencing specification (SCORM 2004 Sequencing and Navigation). Is Microsoft interested in SCORM at all There is very little info on Microsft.com on e-learning, specifically on Learning Management Systems (LMS). Looking at WWF and SCORM, it may be a task as simple as providing an XSLT transform between XOML (XAML) and SCORM XML, or a more complex task of providing a set of SCORM compliant activities or a SCORM Sequencer.   Thank you for any feed-back you may have :) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Preventing User from entering Text into a TextBox Control

  Hi all, I have a problem where I have a Form that has several TextBox Controls where the user needs to naviagte through them using the keyword. This is cool, and it works great, but what i don't want is the user to be able to edit the Text within these TextBox Controls (hitting enter on the TextBox Control will open up a new Form where data is entered, and when this Form is closed, the Text goes into the TextBox). Now, if I was to make the TextBox Control ReadOnly, then it gives the TextBox Control an ugly Grey BackColor, which is definately not what I want. I can't make the TextBox Control disabled as then my users will not be able to navia ...Show All

Thank you Do you use .NET 2.0 You can use BackgroundWorker class to run work in background thread, this class also have ability to inform background thread about Cancel event, so you can cancel download.
