• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) browser app questions

  I have a few questions about browser apps. I guess you can't use NavigationWindow in browser applications as this causes runtime failures, can you advise on the best way of hiding the browser UI Also a ny reason why the following. < Style x:Key = " MouseEnter " TargetType = " {x:Type Image} " > < Style.Triggers > < Trigger Property = " IsMouseOver " Value = " True " > < Setter Property = " Image.BitmapEffect " > < Setter.Value > < OuterGlowBitmapEffect GlowColor ...Show All

• Visual C# Applying System.Diagnostics.DebuggerHidden() to all Property's

  Hi all, I have a load of Properties (read and writable) and as my debugger is slow I have used the following code above each Property declaration... [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerHidden()] ...Is there anyway I can, instead of having this line above every Property, can I have it once to say that I want to hide all my properties from the Debugger Thanks Tryst No it can only be applied to class members. However I don't think that is really the solution to your problem anyway. The debugger still has to go through the properties even if they are hidden. It simply skips the display process. Furthermore you are making it harder on yourself ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista TIP @ Log-In? - Has this been included in the December CTP?

  I just installed Windows Vista build 5219 on my Motion LE 1600.  There is no TIP on the logon screen, so I need to have a keyboard to log in (which defeats the purpose)... is there something special I need to do to have the TIP available at logon TIA... In Windows Vista Beta 1 builds there is no support for the TIP at login. There is currently no way to enable it during the login screen. Unfortunately, the only way to log in currently is to plug in an external keyboard. TIP support at login will be implemented in a future release. Thanks, Ross MSFT Developer ...Show All

• Visual Basic Get multiple files from a directory

  I can't believe after 5 months of working with Visual Basic I've come up with something which I know is right in front of me - I just can't see it. Anyway, I want to get 2 formats from a directory, not one or all, 2. Here's my code for one: System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(TextBox1.Text, "*.JPG", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly) Here's some attemps: System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(TextBox1.Text, "*.JPG" OrElse "*.BMP", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly) System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(TextBox1.Text, "*.JPG|*.BMP", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly) Which have obviously failed... ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Mobile performance/size problems with WM5 device

  I just upgraded our application from SSCE 2.0 to SQL Mobile. Our app is written in C++, and we use OLE DB for most of our queries, including the routine the downloads and inserts our lookup table data. This application is running on a Dell Axim X51. Using SSCE 2.0, this routine takes 236 seconds, with most time spent inserting data into various tables (using OLE DB). The resultant database size is 15.1 MB. Using SQL Mobile, this routine now takes 675 seconds, with a resultant database size of 27.9 MB!! There is a noticable increase in time when the downloaded data is being inserted into the database. What would be the reason(s) for the slowe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Uninstalling Add-ins - removing toolbars

  Hi all, I have an addin for VS.NET which I've recently altered to work with vs2005.  I'm having an issue with uninstallation though.  When my uninstaller runs, it runs 'devenv /setup' to remove the toolbars for each of the Visual Studio versions installed.  This works (albeit with ugly consequences) on VS2003, but on 2005 my add-in's toolbar and commands are still present. Some searching around yielded the /resetaddin command, which kinda works.  It removes all the toolbar buttons, but not the toolbar itself.  Also, annoyingly, it fires up a whole new copy of vs2005 which then stays open - not an ideal thing to happe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Programming vs. Designing Workflows

  Hi there, I had a more or less quick look at WF. I'm a little bit suprised that it seems programming is required for authoring workflows. I hoped that it would be possible to host the designer and to generate some kind of storable representation (e.g. XML) out of designer and to load and run workflows based on this file. The thing that we are currently examining WF as a means to allow customers to customize workflows and to create new workflows based on activities we ship. We cannot expect the customers to be able to code in C# or VB.NET or even have VS installed. So what we wanted to do is just hosting the workflow runtime and designer (m ...Show All
