• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to reload the window form and restore its original layout?

  Hi There, Our product called AssetViewer has a main UI (TabControl). The main UI changes dynamically to respond to the different AssetType. when displaying a new asset item, if the AssetType is different, the UI view is to be adjusted from its original layout instead of its previous state. Since the previous state has made too many changes and it may need more codes to track these changes. Thanks, Billy, I'm confused by ...Show All

  Hello, can any one know how to get file summary info in c#. you can see this info if you right click on a file and click on summary tab. ah, sorry.

• Windows Forms TreeView HitTest while in DragOver

  I am using the HitTests method on a TreeView object within its DragOver method. While generally HitTest seems to work when used in other methods (like MouseDown), in DragOver, the Node method of the TreeViewHitTestInfo object continually returns Nothing even though the mouse is plainly over a valid node. I've made sure the Treeview has "AllowDrop = True", but is there any other properties I need to set to get this going Has a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ASP.NET And a State Machine Workflow

  I recently read the MSDN magazine article, Windows Workflow Foundation, Part 2 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/04/CuttingEdge/), where Dino Esposito demonstrates how to work with workflows in ASP.NET. Dinos' demonstration provides a helpful solution to working with Sequential workflows; however, it left me a little confused with how to work with a State Machine workflow.

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work an ...Show All

  I had this problem with VS2003 and was told that because the old control (usable through .NET 1.1) is actually the same ActiveX control that has always been used.

• Visual Studio Team System Images in Work Item description?

  I've been asked to assess VSTS by my company. The first goal is to replace our aging Notes based bug tracking system. The one capability of Notes that users here are adamant about having in any replacement is to be able to paste images and rich text into the description field (screen shots, etc.). Having the images as seperate attachments is not sufficient. When I attended the "Ready to Launch" session here in Boston last week, I asked about ...Show All
