• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Change scrollbar style within a ListView/GridView

  I'm using a ListView that contains a GridView, with a number of columns defined. This serves my current needs, except for the vertical and horizontal scrollbars that are shown within the ListView. I can't find any way to style them. For starters, I need to remove the gray scale look and replace it with colors that work with the overall theme of the application. Is there any documentation on how to style, or otherwise access properties of the scrollbar within a ListView Thanks.

• Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relationships are drawn. Instructions are to click on this and do that. One creates table adapters and and dataadapers and with these apparoaches everything seems quite removed from what really happening. Al ...Show All

• .NET Development Problems implementing a Data Provider in VS2005

  We had a working Data Provider coded in C# using VS2003. The same code gives a problem in VS2005 and I'm hoping someone here can help out. Sample code: DataSet ds = new DataSet (); TTDataAdapter da = new TTDataAdapter ( "select name from master..sysdatabaseinfo", m_Conn ); da.Fill( ds, "Table1" ); This will raise an exception when the data provider is compiled in VS2005: [System.ArgumentException] {"Type of value has a mismatch with column typeCouldn't store <master> in name Column.  Expected type is RuntimeType."} I have checked everwhere I could and the name-Column's DataType is "System.String" as it s ...Show All

• Visual C++ New to Windows Programming

  I have an old C program (written under UNIX) and I need to convert it into a Windows program with a GUI. The program only does some calculations and saves the output to a file. I have V. Studio 2005 and I'm confused!! I don't know which type of project I need and if I need to use C++ (which I don't know too much about). Can someone please give me some guidance Sphinx06 You can use winfroms for such application. Also, MFC or general Win32 API could do the job but Winform projects in my opinion is easier if you don't have background in C/C++. Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All

• Visual C# How get inner class info by Reflection

You can't get a MethodInfo for a class. I'm also not sure what the purpose of the two InnerClassBase classes are.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Where can I download Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (builds 50215.44 & .45).

  I'm trying to work with the WWF, I've installed several different VS 2005s, team and Pro from MSDN, and I tried unsuccessfully to install from the 'bad' CDs from PDC.
