• Visual C# VS 2005 Beta 2 - Visual Web Dev - set default language to C# from VB

  On Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 - Visual Web Developer How do I set the default language to C#   It seems to default to VB.  The default language is based on the Profile you choose when you started VS 2005 the first time. If you choose the profile as VB.NET Developer then my default even the language selected for ASP.NET Projects would be VB.NET. You can go to Import/Export settings tab and Reset the profile. Next time the IDE starts you can select the C# Developer and the default for ASp.NET Projects will be C#. Regards, Saurabh Nandu www.MasterCSharp.com www.AksTech.com ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions graphing readings (1,2,3,3780)on X axis and volts ( 0 to .017562) on Y axis

  1. Is there a way to draw graph from lower left of screen instead of top left only 2. can the coordinates be "scaled" like they used to in QB45 { screen (0,3780) - (0,.017562) } I have the large array(3780). I can put it in a textbox. I can console.writeline(array(k)) to the output screen. I can multiply my Y data by a thousand to see a little of the graph, but I need an example to scale the window and change the origin of the graph. OX this draws a nice upside down graph if I can send the data file. Suggest how I can send the data file code: Public Class Form1 Dim volts() As Single ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remote Web Access over http in VSS 2005

  I am currently evaluating VSS 2005 beta and have been advised by MicroSoft Customer Services that the 'remote web access over http' feature is available in VSS 2005 as a standalone product and it is not necessary to have Visual Studio installed.  However, I am unable to determine how to connect remotely. I have installed VSS 2005 Beta on a server and created a SourceSafe Database on the same server, which I can obviously easily open.  If I am working in the office on another machine, I can easily connect to the VSS database on the server, by specifying the path, as with VSS 6.0.  However ...Show All
