• Visual Studio Team System Using VS2005 (beta 2) with custom rules

  Hi, I'm trying to integrate custom FxCop rules using the Code Analysis capabilities of VS2005 beta 2 and I'm hitting some problems :( I've written a very simple custom rule which loads and runs OK under the stand-alone version of FxCop 1.32  I've then changed the FxCop and Cci references (and imports) to hook up to the integrated version of FxCop (SDK under "Team Tools") so I can load the rule for use in the IDE but that ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView/DataSource performance

  I am setting the DataSource to a DataGridControl that I am filling (in the Form1_Load method) from a List-derived object. This was working fine, but with more than a few 100 entries in the list it is now taking a long time for the form to show - several minutes with 0x250 entries. Is there anything I can do to speed this up   I don't understand why a hyper-threaded P4-3000 should need so much time!  Once the control is displayed perf ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports XI and Visual Studios 2005 Questions?

  OK I have read a lot of post here that lead me to believe CRXI is not compatible with Visual Studio 2005. Or should I say not till CRXI r2 comes out in which case it will support VS2005 .net Framework 2.0. On a Project that is updated to VS2005 from VS2003 and CRXI for the most part went very smooth.   Except and for me this is major CR Version is 10.2.3600.0 in VS2005 where as it was VS2003 it is Version 11.0.3300.0 for me.

So if the form is long and narrow, the font width will be wide and the font height will be narrow.

  From what I've been able to find, there is supposed to be a generic GraphicsBuffer. I have been unable to find it, and it is starting to get very annoying.
