• Windows Forms Size of controls in design view

  I worked all morning in Visual Studio.NET. Everything was normal, just like every other day. I started a new project just before lunch. Just got started on the UI of a few pages, not much VB yet. When lunch came, I minimized all my windows and came back about an hour later. When I maximized Visual Studio, everything in the design view of my new pages was HUGE. I ran the application to view in browser, everything was half as big as in design view. Out of curiosity, I opened an old project that works perfectly and I know I developed it with the size of controls being the same in design view as in the browser. These pages were HUGE as well. I s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Foreach statement problem

  ArrayList dirs = new ArrayList (getDirectoryTreeFiles(textBox1.Text)); if (dontGo != 1) { foreach ( ArrayList tmp in dirs) } The above code is generating an exception problem in the foreach statement that I can't figure out how to bypass or fix. It say's "Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'." They are both ArrayList type and I can't understand why it's trying to convert to a string. I will later convert the values into a string in the foreach statement, but I would thing that would be irrelivent to the foreach statement. I think the problem might lie in ...Show All

• .NET Development There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.

  I have a rather large ASP-NET-2.0 project that I've been developing for some time. I'm using System.Data.Common classes for all of my data access, and SQL-2005 as my provider. Up to and including Beta-2, everything was working just fine and dandy. Then, with the release of RC1, I suddenly started to get the following error:: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first. This totally threw me, but I dutifuly started to trace all of my connections & readers to make sure I was closing & disposing of them properly, and all appears to be correct. After a bunch of tedious and very time-co ...Show All

• .NET Development BindingList<T> implementation

  I have written a set of custom business objects along with a collection to hold these objects that can be bound to any UI control. To accomplish this, I wrote my collection class to derive from BindingList<T>. As my custom business object can of course contain custom child objects, does each business object have to implement IEditableObject, or will the generic BindingList class take care of this for me In other words, if the collection derives from BindingList<T>, will my child objects be supported in a complex databinding scenario I am somewhat new to writing my own bindable objects for complex databinding scenarios, so I may ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XACT on Win2000 ???

  I tried installing the latest DirectX with XACT & discovered that it will not work with W2k. Is there any way to get just XACT on a W2k platform TNX Ken KC7RAD David Weller wrote: No. Windows 2000 is an unsupported operating system for the DirectX SDK and its components (including XACT). This is not really true. The old runtime components, D3DX and Managed DirectX, are still supported on the older operating systems, Windows 9x/ME/2K. It's just the new runtime components, XInput and XACT that require Windows XP or newer. Unfortunately, while the XInput documentation makes this limitation clear, the XACT ...Show All

• Visual Studio Exporting a report to pdf

  Hi, I am getting the following error when I try to export a report to pdf. The process we are following is - 1. First we generate a report and store it in DB as a Document Blob. 2. When we want to view it, we write this DocumentBlob to the disk. 3. We then export this rpt to a pdf on disk. This process is working fine until we change the layout of the crystal report. I added a fake page header to the sub report, removed the already existing header from the sub report and am using the existing fields and not added any new fields. When the layout is changed and a new report is generated, export to pdf is working fine. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Console Applications only work on computer with the IDE

  I'm using a text book to learn C++ and am writing my first programs. They compile fine and work the way I want them to, from Visual Studio or Windows Explorer.

• Visual C# Typing in Visual Studio 2005 Text Editor is extremely slow

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. ...Show All

  I developed a simple application in MFC. It was SDI App.I set the modified Flag with SetModified method on MouseClick. So when I click a mouse button, the flag is set and when I close the App, I am asked about Do You want to save it or not . First I ran it in Win XP English ok was everything was normal.
