• Windows Search Technologies Feature request: "To" field and word-wrap for plain text

  I'm using WDS for quite a while now, but there are two things missing. When I search for e-mails I sometimes miss the column "To", there is only the column "From". There is to my knowledge no way to add the column manually. The other thing is that e-mails in plain text (ASCII) are not shown "word wrapped". Long lines of text run off the righthandside of the screen. You'll have to scroll to read the text. Just my 2 cents... Robert In my language it's "aan:" I need to specify, "to:" doesn't work. WDS seems to know Dutch Robert ...Show All

• Visual C# Help with System.Array

  I have a System.Array object with assorted types in the different elements.  How do I work with these elements.  For example, if the result of arr.GetValue(0) is actually a Double[], how do I access the individual doubles   Or suppose the result of arr.GetValue(1) is another System.Array object.  How do I assign it to a System.Array typed-variable OK, I got it.  Duh, you just downcast it, like this: Double[] darr = (Double[])arr.GetValue(0); ...Show All

• Windows Forms masked TextBox

  i use mask textbox for thousand seperator and i use 000,000,000,000,000 mask but please help me how can i do following: 1- i want the number length dynamic and no limited 2- when no number enter or the lenght is short i want to omit extra commas. From what I've seen of the masked text box, you may need to impliment your own solution to achieve this. Just handle the KeyPress event of your text box, and set e.Handled to true if Char.IsDigit and Char.IsControl both fail on the char. This will not offer commas at all, but will offer numbers of any length you like. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MFC CTreeCtrl on Smartphone

  I create an MFC app using VS2005 for Smartphone. A CTreeCtrl (sitting on a CFormView) is not processing any keyboard input. For example, pressing the arrow keys or Action key does not expand/contract nodes. Am I missing something simple By default, CTreeCtrl on Smartphone has limited navigation: Expand/Collapse node = Action Key Move focus = Up/Down Check/Uncheck box = <nothing> A sugeestion is to override this for Smartphone so that: Expand/Collapse node = Left/Right key Move focus = Up/Down Check/Uncheck box = Action key Hope that helps. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Initializing statics in native library

  Hello. We have a native C++ .lib that we have created that uses a const string in it. The string is initialized to "". We have successfully linked this native library to a managed Windows C++ Forms project and have code in the form to instantiate one of the objects defined in the native library. However, when the Forms application starts, it attempts to instantiate the const string in the native library and a _CrtIsValidHeapPointer assertion fails. Has anyone seen this behavior Admittedly, I am new to .NET and have been looking for a compiler switch that might address this issue. Does anyone have a suggestion how we migh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Exec task with ContinueOnError=true

  I'm using an MSBuild build script as part of a continuous integration scenario. Part of the script is a target that runs unit tests with NUnit, using a batched item group that specifies test assemblies. The target contains an Exec task that runs the test runner application. Since I want to run all of the tests, even if some of them fail, I specify the ContinueOnError option on the Exec task. The problem is that even though some tests fail, MSBuild sets the DOS errorlevel is set to 0 after the build finishes, which screws up the continuous integration server (it thinks the build succeeded). If I change ContinueOnError to false, then it sets ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Connection Object and Expressions

  I have been writing a custom source adapter that uses a file connection within the connection manager. If I hard-code a specific file then the component works. However if I use a file connection that has an expression defined which updates the connection, for example when you have a for-each loop looping over a set files. The file connection doesn’t seem to re-evaluate expression each time you access the file connection via the code. Is there something that I am missing or is there a bug Where is the expression defined On the connection manager within the dataflow If so, it will only be evaluated once bef ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ Support Library in Visual C++ 2005 Beta 2 (Express edition)

  I have Visual C++ 2005 Beta 2 (Express edition) installed. In the help for VC++ I found a topic about the “C++ Support Library”. It requires some header files ( <msclr\lock.h> for example) from a folder named “msclr”. Unfortunately I cannot find those headers anywhere.   My question is: Is the “C++ Support Library” part of Express edition of VC++ 2005 Beta 2 That is correct. I just took a look at my VCExpress installation and it is located at D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\msclr on my machine Thanks,   Ayman Shoukry   VC++ Team ...Show All
