• Windows Forms SplitContainer "Continuous Layout" or "Show Contents During Reizing" Option?

  Hello, I am working with the SplitContainer control in VS .NET 2005 July CTP. When sizing a content area on the screen, such as when resizing a form or when moving a splitter bar, there are usually two ways to go about it. One is to draw the splitter bar / form bounds only, then resize and repaint the content area(s) and child controls once, when resizing is complete. The second way is referred to in Java as "Continuous Layout" and, I believe in Windows as "Show Window Contents During Resizing" (an OS-controlled option in Windows). I am trying to get this continuous resizing behavior with the SplitContainer control, such that the two S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can I delete a Team Project

  Hi, How ca I delete a Team Project, I try, but ins't works. Any Idea. Hi Raymundo, This command will only delete the project you specify. It will delete the SharePoint site, Reporting site, Source Code, Work Item Tracking, and all the project related data that was created when the project was created. Other projects on the server will not be affected. If you are concerned about this, you can do a backup of the databases to ensure that you will not lose data. -Dennis ...Show All

• Visual C# BSTR type in c#

  I received a DLL which uses BSTR as string type: example : given in the include file DLLEXPORT BSTR WINAPI I2cGetInterfaceTypeStr (BSTR Interface); how do i access this function in vc#. This doesn't work. [DllImport("I2CAPI32.dll")] public static extern string I2cGetInterfaceTypeStr ( string Interface); Other functions of the DLL which don't use BSTR are working ok.

• SQL Server Get local sql server name

  Hi, How can I get local sql server name Thank's Alexei Hi. The fast answer: use "(local)" in your connection string. This should be the same as using Environment.MachineName, expect, I suspect, you might not need to enable TCP/IP. There might actually be several SQL Server instances on a single machine. Names are on the form MACHINE_NAME\INSTANCE_NAME MACHINE_NAME For this you can use "(local)", ip address, "." or machine name. INSTANCE_NAME This can be omitted if you want to access the default MSSQLSERVER. For any other version, take a look in "Computer Managment"->"Services", any instance of Sql server will be listed as ...Show All
