• Visual Studio MSBuild conditional import and Visual Studio IDE

  Hi all, First of all, apologies if this is the wrong group - the problem I'm experiencing seems to be in the MSBuild hosted in the VS IDE, rather than the command-line MSBuild. I have vcproj files with conditional imports (to pull in MSBee build rules for a FX1.1 build). These build fine from the command line with the relevant conditional parameters set - I use a condition of: Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'Win32 (.NET 1.1)'" so I can in theory use the platform in the IDE to discriminate between 2.0 and 1.1 builds. This works fine in the IDE for conditional compilation settings (e.g. I have a <DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants ...Show All

• Visual Basic Creating a program that can save in a specific file format.

  Hi, An AppDomain creates another AppDocmain to run some assemblies in it. Now from within the second AppDomain, i want to access the AppDomain that created this second AppDomain.

• Windows Forms Datagridview and search

  I got a search on my datagridview and I need to be able to pull the record up in the screen so that the user can see it. An example could be looking from an order number 30033 which is off the screen it finds it but you have to scroll down to it. I want the program to find it then go down to the record that is in the datagridview. If the DataGridView is databound then you can use the Find method on the BindingSource. If the grid isn't databound then you will have to write some code that manually loops through the rows looking for your data. Using the BindingSource.Find method will return you a row index. Use that value and set the Data ...Show All
