• Visual Studio Express Editions Setting the text for a tooltip where the object that it is a tooltip for has changed its value

  I've got 4 linklabels, when I click on each of them, their value changes. When I hover my mouse over any of the linklabels, my tooltip appears. For each linklabel the value of the tooltip is different. Visual Basic Express Edition 2005 refers to this as "ToolTip on tltp_name". The problem is that, once any of the linklabels' values have changed, when I hover my mouse over them, the previous tooltip shows. I want& ...Show All

• Visual C# Label over picturebox

  Ok, Im creating a label at runtime in a button_click event. Now the problem is, its not showing up, at all. And im thinking its because I need it to appear over a picture box. Because in my program, the form has a background image, and on the form there is a picture box displaying another picture. Is the reason why its not showing up, because of the picture box. I guess another question I should be asking is how do I make the label appear in fro ...Show All

  I'm using .Net 2.0 and Visual Basic 2005 trying to update a SQL2005 Database.  I have created a SqlDataAdapter with a Command builder object in my code.  If I set the Select Command to a Select Statement that doesn't contain a where clause to filter the table I'm querying then after I've modified the table the DataAdapter.Update(myDataSet) method works correctly.  But if I filter the table I'm querying by adding a where claus ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System IDE Attempted to read or write protected memory

  I am seeing these errors frequently with VS 2005 RC1. I do not recognize any pattern that causes the errors, but I am going to guess that it is somehow related to aborted a debugging session on a webtest because that is what I was just now doing when I got the errors. --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Attempted to read or write protected memory.

• Visual Studio Team System Migrate work items from Beta 2 to Beta 3?

  Ok, first of all let me state clearly for the record. I fully realize that MSFT does not officially support work item migration from Beta 2 to Beta 3.  I also realize Beta 2 did not have a GO-LIVE license with it, so I am officially on my own on this one.  Having said that, "un-officially" is there anything I can do to half-way get this to work When my team moved from Beta 1 Refresh -> Beta 2, we exported all of our work item ...Show All
