• Visual C++ ATL included in PSDK?

  Is the ATL included in the Microsoft Platform SDK So can I use the WTL with Visual C++ 2005 Express and the PSDK thanks! I looked in the latest Platform SDK ( Windows 2003 Server SP1 ) in the include folder and I see that alot of ATL code is included in the PSDK. So I see not reason why you couldn't use the ATL headers (which contain most of the ATL library ) from the SDK to build applications using Visual C++ Express Edition. This, combined with the use of WTL (which offers abstractions for Windows controls ) should enable you to build MFC-like apps using only free tools / libraries (I'm going to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Book Recommendation to Learn C#

  Hi Everyone, Anyone know of a really good book on learning C# 2005, that is easy to read and understand, without a lot of fluff and page fill Two that I have been looking at are "Learning Visual C#, 2nd Edition, by Jesse Liberty, and the Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Step by Step, by John Sharp. Both about 500 pages. I have the MSPress "Visual C# 2005 Build a Program Now", that the Express CD comes with, but need more information about things like delegates, interfaces, abstraction, collections, etc. that are to the point and won't put you to sleep in less than 1 page. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. Tha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Auto-expanding TextBox?

  Hi, Am I mistaken or is there no automatic way of getting a multiline TextBox to grow as the number of lines in it increases and when the form is resized I'd think something like this would be standard in a mature UI framework like WinForms Many thanks, Jiten There is no built in way to automatically grow the number of lines in a TextBox as you enter more and more text into it. Instead, make sure you have scroll bar support setup. When you’ve got the MultiLine property set to true, also set ScrollBars property to Vertical. As for growing the TextBox when the form is resized, change the TextBo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Start selected test project without debugger" problem

  Hi, I have a unit test that fails when I click "Start selected test project without debugger". If I run the same tests with "Test manager" or "Start selected test project with debugger" they pass. I've worked out that it is because VS copies different assemblies to the out directory of the test. When it fails it copies my "orders" assembly for some reason, even though it isn't referenced or needed by any of the unit test code when it runs. (This causes some reflection based code I have to fail as another assembly related to orders isn't present). When it passes this assembly isn't copied Does anyone know why VS does this It seems prett ...Show All

• Visual Basic how i can get connection string of db on host computer??

  as my code is dependent on the database so whenever i take my code on the different computer, i need to set connection string for it and recompile the project.. can i get this string by using any api.. at run time i don't want to give it string every time when i change pc or database server.. If the database resides on the same computer then nothing should change; unless you change the name of the database, of course (you are always on the local server). If it's a remote database then you should program in a way for the user to select the database. The simplest way, as stated, is to store it in a config f ...Show All

• .NET Development Embeddable database or DBF Library?

  I have been using the Pocket Access database format for my applications as they do not need SQL Server and the customers do not need SQL Server / MSDE on their desktop. I don't feel that XML is a valid option for a database but I may be wrong. Any alternatives to Pocket Access and or SQL Server would be appreciated. I was wondering if anyone had seen a DBF library in C# that can be used in the Compact Framework. Thanks in advance for ANY help or suggestions. RE: I could accomplish the same effect with code as you stated above but I would basically be writing my own database correct Well, .Net handles most o ...Show All

• Windows Forms Controlling Control Painting using Clipping Rectangle

  Hello, I am using a 3rd party library's control. I am adding child controls (like ComboBox and Checkbox) to this control and want them painted over the 3rd party library control. I am running into a problem when the 3rd party library draws scrollbars, because stupidly they draw the scrollbars as part of the client area and not the NC area. The result is that my child controls paint over the scrollbars. To fix this I tried overwriting the OnPaint method and changing the ClipRectangle in the PaintEventArgs, as well as the ClipBounds, VisibleClipBounds, and Clip properties of the Graphics object in the PaintEventArgs, and then pas ...Show All
