  Hi all, I'm trying to create a new cell within the new DataGridView (.NET 2 Beta). For example, I'm trying to create a cell which contain a RichTextBox, I succeed with the appearance of the rich text box controll but there is a lot of irregular behavior.

• Windows Forms Resizing user control

  I Have a user control which contains several controls that I want to resize according to it's anchors whenever the size of the parent form changes. Some controls contained in te UC aren't supose to resize at least in y axis, like a combo and a check box, but the textbox is in both.

Fill the table cells with e.g. Panel controls and use rowspan and co ...Show All

• Visual C++ C/C++

  Hello everyone, I'm an "old timer", because I started learning computer languages in 1974 (!) on a VAX system. (Basic, Fortran IV, Fortran 77, Pascal, Assembler, Cobol, C, C++, ...) My preferences are for C++ (still do) programing, but because of my professional duties, I stopped programing since 1988. Now I'm "semi-retired" and would like to restart using C/C++ but... What should I decide to buy, I mean, what kind of language to start with Visual C++ version 6  or C++ or I will appreciate Your professional advice Regards, Jean Hi Jean: I loved VAX ... a great computer.

• Visual Studio Open Website from Source Control takes long time

  I have built up a project in VSS 2005 via internet and VS 2005. It works great in the project I created, I can check out, modify, check in etc. Now when I go to open a new website from source control it takes a very long time. So far 45 minutes and not open. The project has about 1,500 files I was getting timeouts when opening the project at first, but added: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe] "Timeout"=dword:00360000 Hey as I typed it just finished. But 50 minutes seems excessive. Its only about 15MB and 1500 files. Why so long Internet connectivity is Cable and DSL on each end and fairly quick. ...Show All

• Visual C# Annoying Dialog

  When opening custom projects an annoying dialog pops up saying: " Security Warning...." And then you have the option to either "Load project for Browsing" or "Load project normally", and then a checkbox "Show this dialog for sub projects" or something like that. Can anyone please tell me how I can disable the dialog Thank you. The easiest will be if I could send you a picture, but I am not able because this does not allow for it. Can I maybe email you a screenshot So that you can have better context of the problem ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Extension Methods: Static Electricity?

  As Anders pointed out in his Channel9 demo, Extension Methods in C# 3.0 really make Linq possible. After drilling into Extension Methods and wanting to not like them, I must ask: what were the alternatives The example that Ian Griffith's gives of some 3rd party developer quietly including something like: namespace System {     public static class Evil    {         public static void Print( this object s)         {             Console.WriteLine(s);         ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to build a group-filter, based on multiple ListBox ?

  Hello, I would like to filter a DataView, based on multiple listboxes, just like "Itunes" does. It does work when i have consecutive selections, but when nothing is selected between two listboxes, the filter goes crazy. I have made arrays that contains fields & control names, for easier upgrade. it resumes like this : - if string not empty then add - ColumnName + " Like '" + SelectedValue + "' AND " ............................. that does work sometimes but when i change the parent listbox, it just doesn't do right. also, i have placed that function to be called on each ListBox_Click sub, is this the good place i ha ...Show All

• Visual C++ controlling user input

  I'm writing a game. A very symple game that doesn't use objects or anything like that. (I'm relatively new to prgramming and haven't gotten that far yet.) Over and over again the program asks the user for input. Some examples: cout << "Play (or try, failures) again, Yes(1) or No(0) " ; cin >> pg; cout << "Show attack score, Yes(1) or No(0) :" ; cin >> showatk; Since these questions only have two anwsers, the variables pg and showatk are of bool type. This all works fine, until the user tries to answer ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Espresso sample: Dynamo

  I would just like to have a clear definition of what Dynamo is all about. And also, what is the definition of the Binding. Is Dynamo only for anonymous types Does a binding represent a Property and the expression that represents its value Dynamo = new { ... } Binding = the "OrderCount = c.Orders.Count" in new { OrderCount = c.Orders.Count, ... } expression Oh!

• Architecture XMI to Model

  Hi, If we have an XMI file generated by a tool (used ArgoUML), is there a way to construct the model back from the XMI file (i.e. visually). Is there any tool or plugin which does that Thank you. It would be great if you could be more specific about which models are you working with, and where you want to construct the modul back. Dependening on your specific details, there may be ways of using DSLs to do that. If you can provide more details, I'll try to come up with a more specific answer... Deal :-) Mauro ...Show All
