• Visual Studio Team System Offline mode help - Finding editable files not checked out

  I understand that offline mode wasn't a priority for V1.  We can always just attrib a file as writable and party on.  However, when I do get my laptop connected back up to the network it would be nice if there was a TF command (even just a command line command) that would let me know which repository files I have that are editable but not checked out.  It would also be essential that the command works recursively so that I can just execute it at the top of my workfolder.  Something like: [C:\Projects\Foo] ! tf hijacked /recursive * A minor bit of GUI support for hijacked files would be ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewComboBoxColumn Selection Changed

  Hi, I would like to handle the Selection Changed event of a ComboBox column inside my datagrid, what would be the best method to do it. I tried the CellValueChanged event but that throws up an error when I am loading the datagrid. Please suggest how to do this.

The annoying thing that the message is coming again and again; It is happening because EditingControlShowing event fires every time when you reach to the next ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Reporting in VB.NET Express

  OK, there's been a few questions about this, but none have really answered this question. A control you can add to the tool bar is a "Report Viewer".  One of the links when this control is placed on a form is a link to "Design a New Report".  This link doesn't work.  So my questions are: Will it only work in the full version If I create a report in Crystal Reports (either from an earlier, full version of VS.NET or the free 30-day trial), can I link this to the "Report Viewer" control Thanks in Advance Gareth The report designer control is only available in Visual Basic Standard +, i.e. not ...Show All

  Hello, all. I've installed the May WinFX CTP, and, unfortunately, I've ran into what Tim Sneath calls in his blog "XAML Syntax Tightening". To be more specific, I have a subclassed TabControl that has x:Name for elements in the definition scope (inside its template, in the subclassed TabControl), and now I get a build error because I am also using x:Name on the elements under it in the usage scope.
