• Visual C# webBrowser1_CanGoBackChanged event doesn't fire!?

  I created a windows forms app with a browser control embedded. Actually, it is practically the code sample found in chapter 35 of this C# book, here: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764575341,descCd-download_code.html Although, the webBrowser1_CanGoBack property does change, I can't seem to trigger the CanGoBackChanged event!

• Visual C++ console from form

  Hi! How can I call a Console window from a form application Ok: I dug a little deeper and I think I know what is going on here. The problem is that by-default a Windows Form application does not have a console associated with it: so any calls to Console::WriteLine will send the output into a black hole (\dev\null). The case where the application will work is if you start it from a console window because in this case the application will ha ...Show All

However, if I hit F5, as is my habit, it starts by running a manual test (and I tell it to pass this test) and I stop debugging at some point. But then the IDE seems to get stuck in a state between debugging and not-debugging. I cannot edit files without getting a warning ...Show All
