• SQL Server Problem connecting to SQL Server 2005 database instance

  I have an old ASP app that I have had to migrate to use SQL Server 2005.

  I'm using C# to make an app for the Pocket PC (funny enough) and was wondering when using xmldocument.load , how I can get the number of bytes loaded A 300kb XML file can take a few seconds on the pocket pc so I wanted some way of getting the bytes loaded to make a progress bar.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with Graphics

  I don't understand why this doesn't work: Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics g.DrawLine(Pens.Blue, 1, 1, 100, 100)   I don't see where you have set g to an instance of Graphics.

• Visual Studio Team System Create a custom web based bug tracking tool for VSTS.

  Hi all and happy new year ! Hope 2006 will be a great year for VSTS. Before the holidays, I've been asked to look(most probably create) for a web based bug tracking tool for VSTS.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Probably an odd request

  I have a request that is most likely not intuitive until you start to understand the situation.  I need to be able to have a ScrollViewer with a negative HorizontalOffset, or VerticalOffset.  The situation is that I have a view that is dynamic in size, and I want to preserve the user's position in the view even when it changes size.  This can mean that from the scroll viewers point of view the scroll position is negative.  Ba ...Show All
