I don't think there's an officially supported way to backup just Source Control data. Easier way: m ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Form is unable to capture KeyEvents, but can capture them within a Control.

  Hi all, I have set my form up to attempt to capture KeyEvents but they are not being fired, or at least my event method is not being triggered. But when I set the KeyDown event for a given control on the Form I am able to catch the key event. Ideally, I need to catch the events on the form. I noticed that I am unable to set the KeyPreview property on the Form as I am using .NET Framework version 1.1. Is there anyway I can catch these KeyEvents o ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can I suppress ValueChanged?

  In my .NET2 (C++) application I have NumericUpDown boxes. I use the ValueChanged event to trigger commands which are then stored in an undo list. When an undo is requested, I query the command for the previous value and place this back into the Value field of the control. Now this then triggers a ValueChanged event which puts a command in the undo list -- not what I want! I can avoid this by setting a flag to say "don't add commands w ...Show All

Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the ...Show All
