• Visual Studio GAC support in Templating Engine (Feature Request)

  Hello, Templating Engine provided with DSL Tools is really great and useful, but it would be more convenient to use if it had support for referencing assemblies in GAC. I know that it is problem of CSharpCompiler... which doesn't support referencing assemblies in GAC, but you can extend the functionality of Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.VSHost.TextTemplatingService.ResolveAssemblyReference() method to search the GAC. Regards This is an interesting discussion. We use references in a two ways internally in T4 and the T4 hosts that we provide with the DSL tools. Firstly we pass the references to ...Show All

• .NET Development Collection events

  Hi, just wondering if it is possible to have a collections base class send an event to the collection. Not worded well but heres an example. Class Tree Property color Property species Class TreeCollection property ColorCount property SpeciesCount This is very basic but what I want is if the color of a tree changes an event is fired that the collection sees to reset its count of trees with a certain color. Hope this is clear enough Regards You could change it to inherit from CollectionBase intead, so you dont have to do all the re-learning at once. It will work just fine either way.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I uninstall DirectX 9c

  I am having problem with a game and their tech support needs me to uninstall DirectX 9c and Reinstall it. I have asked EA tech support on this on an earlier occasion and this was the reply I got. 1. Forget about it. 2. Find a new hobby. 3. Microsoft sucks so dont try to fix their stuff. 4. The only problem is your brain, if you try to forget about it and find a new interest in life that does not involve this stupid DirectX, you will be OK..... Now this seem like a very unproffesional respoce from a major company tech support, but they are allso only human, and MS have made things realy hard to grasp sometimes.

• Visual Studio Team System Replace TFVC with another source control

  Hi, Is it possible to replace TFVC with another source control in a VSTS environment Or could we do one thing - handle version control events (check-in/check-out, etc) and redirect them to another source control with corresponding events. Will this lead to duplication of records and if it will need tools to maintain conssitency of records Let me know your suggestions and approaches. If it is not doable, could you please explain it with reasons. Thanks, Saurabh You can choose not to use TFVC, sure.  Mainly, you'll be giving up the integration we've built between VC and work item tracking, rep ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Setting combobox datasource to nothing does not clear its items

  I created a project with one combobox and 2 buttons. When I set the ComboBox DataSource to Nothing the SelectedIndex is being set to -1 and the SelectedItem is being set to nothing. But, when I click on the down arrow the list of items, from Button1.Click, are still there. (This works when compiled as a regular PC application.)

• .NET Development Preventing a class from having a default constructor

  Hello, I would like one of my classes to behave like DataRow, when speaking about constructors. As far as I can remember, one cannot use the syntax DataRow myDataRow = new DataRow(), and can only obtain a new DataRow from a DataTable by calling the DataTable.NewRow() method. How can this be achieved in C# To be more explicit, I have a class A, and another class AManager (which manages some stuff regarding A objects). I want to instantiate every A object with a syntax like A test = new AManager.NewA(). And I don't want the user to be able to call A test = new A(); Thank you very much!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Resource management

  I was wondering how much difference improving my resource management would make to my applications performance. I use a lot of Sprite animations in my game, that use D3DXSprite. With the animations I know that once I have displayed a frame that image won't be needed again for a while and also know which texture I will want for the next frame. So I wondered how much difference it would make to performance if I wrote a system that would Lower the Priority level of used frames and PreLoad frames that I knew were going to be used in the next frames. Also, if I have displayed a texture frame is there a way to evict that texture from memory Can a ...Show All

• Visual C++ Studio 2005 - No more images in toolbar and treectrl in Debug mode... (CImageList problem ?)

  C++ ; MFC ; x86 ; Visual Studio 2005 I was using Visual Studio 2003, and since I have installed Visual Studio 2005, toolbars (CToolBar) and treectrls (CTreeCtrl) don't show images in Debug mode and works fine in Release mode !!
