• Visual Studio Team System Single FxCop project for Debug and Release Assemblies

  Hello, Is it possible to have just one FxCop project that will work with both my Debug and Release builds NUnit has a capability like this. Thank you for your help, Hi, If you open the FxCop ui and rightclick on the assembly to analyze, you get a dialog where you can replace the physical path of the assembly to a path with environment variables. The only problem when you do this is that if you have exclusions against code that only exist in one flavor of your assembly, you will lose those exclusions if you save your project opened against the other flavor.

• Windows Forms how to get the parent form of a control???

  Can anybody tell me how to use the "parent::get()" property of a text control in order to obtain its parent form Thanks!! The Parent property will give you the parent Control of another control.

• SQL Server Creating a row guid in SQL Express

  I am an asp developer who is finally serious about learning .net. I have downloaded SQL Express and am working through the ADO Step by Step book. I can easily create a table and set all the columns. What I cannot do is create a row guid. The option for this is grayed out in the column properties window and when I try to set a field in the "Row Guid Column" in the right side properties window I get an error mesage stating the field must match an entry in the list. I have set the id field to primary key and no nulls and to identity and I still cannot set as row guid. I even downloaded Northwind and these tables also do not have a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Intercepting the TAB key in a textbox

  I need to use the TAB key to feed the string "0.5" into a textbox and then move on to the next control, as though the user has typed "0.5" (and then pressed TAB). I see the solution suggested is to override IsInputKey but for the life of me I can't work how to apply the method - every way I try doesn't trap the TAB key. How/where do I set the override to get the TAB key identified by KeyDown It certainly doesn't work if I use - Dim NewTB As New TextBox Me .Controls.Add(NewTB) AddHandler NewTB.KeyDown, AddressOf KeyIsDown etc. and then........... Private Sub KeyIsDown( ByVal o As [Object], ...Show All
