• .NET Development Where do I get development tools for x64

  I want to port a Win32 application to XP-64 in 64-bit mode. Where do I get tools The blurb on Visual Studio 2005 is a little vague. It  says Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition has 64-bit compiler support, but it doesn't specify whether its Itanium 64 or x64. MSDN lists a 64-bit compiler in the DDK section but doesn't provide much information on run time libraries etc. I assume the 64-bit compiler listed in the MSDN DDK section is bare ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System C# or VB.NET

• Visual C# Partially cancelling execution

  I'm trying to figure out the best way to cancel a computational task within an application. For instance, say I'm implimenting the Command Pattern . When a specific event occurs (esc button pressed) I'd like the currently running command (if exists) to stop executing so that the application can be immediately rolled back to the state before the command started. Another example would be the class I'm currently working on that I'd ...Show All

• Visual Basic TreeView Control Arrays

  Hi, In VB6 I wrote a form that had a control array of treeview controls. When upgraded to .NET - which does not support control arrays - it now does not work as there is no control array object in Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace like there is for some of the other controls e.g. TextBoxArray Does anyone know of a way to emulate VB6 style control arrays for Tree View controls Regards Michael Green ...Show All
