• Windows Forms Run-time,design-time component

  I am interested in dividing my components into run-time and design-time components. I want to do this so that code I only need for design time is not included in the run-time component, which is shipped to an end-user. The design time component would only be needed by the programmer when making use of the design-time capabilities of my component, such& ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vector3D.AngleBetween Bug

  Hey there! I'm using WinFX Beta 2 - MayCTP and I think I have found a little Bug ( ) in the Vector3D.AngleBetween Method. If you want to know the angle between two identical Vectors you would expect that 0 (zero) would be the return value. While for most vectors this is true, it seems as if it isn't for the following example: Vector3D sampleVector = new Vector3D(0,-1,-1); double angle = Vector3D.AngleBetween(sampleVector, sampleVector); angle should be zero but - at least on my system - it is 0.0000012074182697257333 I also found out that this happens with other vectors which x-coordinate is zero. Am I missing something or ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Closing a dependent file in Excel97

  I am trying to set up programming for an Excel97 spreadsheet. Because the file (call it Alpha) takes a long time to save, I want to put the code in another file (call it Beta) and call it from Alpha. I have that figured out, and the references set up. The problem is that I want Beta to close automatically when I close Alpha. I tried putting a Close command in the Before_Close subroutine, but then I get an error message telling me that I cannot close the file (Beta) because it is referenced by another open file (Alpha), even though it is itself in the process of closing. How can I order Beta (that is, the file with subroutines) to close when ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tell VSS to ignore a file - basically like .ignore in CVS

  I have a file containing the connection strings for a project like this: < connectionStrings configSource = " ConnectionStrings.config " > Each developer has their own ConnectionStrings.config file - we would like this file to be part of the project (with Copy always set for the "Copy To Output Directory" attribute), but not included in VSS (or at least ignored on check ins and definitely not overwritten on when we get the latest version).  In CVS we could add the an entry to the .ignore file and it would be ignored by CVS clients - is this same functionality available in Visual Studio / VSS   If not how you handle th ...Show All

• .NET Development can i get the type of an unreferenced object?

  I want to get the type of an object which belongs to an assembly that isn't referenced when building the calling assembly. For example, I currently have ObjectHandler oh = Activator.CreateInstance(typepath, typename); object o = oh.Unwrap(); System.Type t = o.GetType(); and it works. If I use System.Type t = System.Type.GetType(typeName); then t is null which I understand, as the typeName's owner assembly is not referenced. Is there a way I can get the type without the Activator and Unwrap lines Many thanks Jason It doesn't matter whether or not you have referenced the ...Show All

  I have read the e-mail about Bonus Challenge at 18:00. Decided to participate - and to make small, but useful (I hope ) app. At 24:00 I have completed the work.

• Visual Studio Express Editions The things I draw don't stay!

  Hi all, my application involves retreiving information of pixels to form an image. I created an access database with 3 field, PixelColumn, Pixel Row and Colour. I'd then draw rectangles as pixels and fill these pixels with the corresponding colour from the database.
