• Visual Studio Help still broken

  Just installed the release version of VS2005 standard. Alas, F1 help is still broken. If I position the cursor over a word (for example HANDLE) and hit F1, the following happens: 1. If MSDN is set to use local help only, it always displays the topic-not-found page, even though on the left hand side, the topic is not only present, but selected. A single click on the highlighted item displays the correct information. 2. If MSDN is set to use online help first, then pressing F1 takes up to a minute (looks like multiple redirections happening), then either displays the topic-not-found page or displays something only vaguely related to the select ...Show All

• Smart Device Development httpwebrequest "could not establish secure channel for SSL" through NTLM proxy

  I'm using VS 2003. With a Dell Axim x51 (with Windows Mobile 2005) I have installed the CF 2.0 on it.  The project was built with VS 03, however I use {application}.exe.config to get it to use the 2.0 CF.  This was necessary to go through an proxy server that uses NTLM.  NETCF 1.0 did not allow this.  This process works until I try to post to a SSL HTTPS page. Then I get this message: 'can not establish a secure channel for SSL'. There are public properties, these are set on another procedure: proxySite, proxyU, proxyP, proxyD proxySite = Proxy Address & port proxyU = Username proxyP = Pas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Word defined as a recognized word in CustomDictionary.xml is still being flagged as a misspelling

  I am using 'num' as the name of an integer parameter on a method.  FxCop 1.32 flags this parameter as a violation of the IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly rule.  In an attempt to make FxCop accept 'num' as a recognized word, I added this word to my CustomDictionary.xml (located in the same directory as my FxCop project file).  Unfortunately, FxCop still flags 'num' as a misspelling. IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly also flagged 'ctl' as a misspelled identifier when used as a parameter name.  However, once I added this word to my CustomDictionary.xml, FxCop stopped flagging it. So, what's the difference between ' ...Show All

  Just installed the latest (May) MSDN Library for VS 2005 and the language filter is not being persisted across page views. I saw another post here that said it was a known problem in Beta 2 but would be fixed. Whats the status of it of I am missing something.

• Visual C# My question is so basic I'm ashamed to ask it! LOL..

  OK.. I'll do it anyway.. I have no shame here... First.. I am not a professional programmer.. Just a old man trying to keep his brain alive.. I code things I never use just to THINK.. I think it helps the brain.. Besides I enjoy it! I have ALOT of C# books.. To many in fact.. Just a old man and I get all mixed up. Either I can not read or the information I need is not in them (or understand what I'm being told!). I can do most anything I want in C# 'IF' I put everything in the one file. Which tends to get a 'bit' bigger than I can deal with.. Is this normal Is this a stupid question I can get around most of my problems 'except' ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to get the shared path

  this might sound a bit dodgy but i'm trying to run some tests on WM5.0 emulators and to speed up the process, the emulators share some files with the desktops is there any way i can get hold of the shared path within my CF2.0 application I understand this is not supposed to work because on a real device there is no such thing as a shared directory, but i still hope that someone can come up with a smart hack :) thanks in advance!
