• Visual Studio Is there a way to get MSBuild to use .sln files but determine dependency order for builds?

  I was thrilled to start playing with MSBuild to automate building our projects.  We have several solutions which build anywhere from 1-2 projects up to 50-60 projects.  One problem I've noticed however is that MSBuild doesn't seem to respect the dependencies to provide the proper build order when an MSBuild task loads a solution.  This sort of defeats the purpose of allowing the MSBuild task to load a solution if the build order is not respected. Is there any way to tell MSBuild to respect the build order through project-to-project dependencies   I poked around in the assemblies and it doesn't look like there is any way t ...Show All

• Visual Basic graphics flicker

  Using VB2005, I am drawing a replica of a paper form on panel control, which is on a mdi child form. The graphics (lines and text) are complex and since there is no autoredraw property as in VB6, there is considerable flicker as the panel scrolls up and down or needs to be repainted. VB help references doublebuffered property (set to true on my form, but not a property of the panel control) and the SetStyles method (not a method of the panel control). These seem to be no help. Previous posts have suggested using an internal bitmap. I have implemented that. I do all drawing on the bitmap and in the paint event copy the bitmap to the pan ...Show All
