• Visual C# width % and px

• Visual C# Dictionaries and the objects they contain!

  I was just wondering, is there some way to synchronize the modification of objects that are in dictionaries (or any other IEnumerable interface for that matter), if they are modified without referring to the dictionary I find that this code snippet doesnt work (I might be too naive): foobar bar = new foobar(); bar.setText("hollathere"); Dictionary <string, foobar> someDict = new Dictionary<string, foobar>(); someDict.Add("handle", bar); Now if I modify bar directly, without going through the dictionary, the changes aren't reflected in the dictionary. Same is the case the other way round. bar.setText("blahblahblah"); ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get rid of the funny scroll bar or expand it in a Dialog?

  I add items to the comboBox by _ASSERT( CB_ERR != SendDlgItemMessage(hwndDlg, IDC_LIST_CONTEXTS, CB_INSERTSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)_T( "None" )) ); In C#, the comboBox automatically drops down to a certain size before it has that scroll bar. Here in my C++ Dialog, the comboBox when you click on the down arrow, it drops down another row with a tinny up and down button(underneah the comboBox's big down arrow button) for me to scroll through my small list of just 3 items. Can any one tell me how to fix this problem Thanks. It's a weird quirk of the dialog resource editor. Sorry, this is going to be quite tough to explain w ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inheritance problem?

  I'm having a problem creating a ServiceHost using two servicecontracts which inherit from the same parent servicecontract. When I try to create the host the following error occurs: ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. My guess is that the creation thinks that both IServiceContract's are two different contracts, which they are not. Is there any solution to this or something I do wrong Creating one contract for both contracts is no option (duo to more inheritance).

• Visual Studio Breakpoint will not be hit. No executable code......

  I have seen some very odd behaviour with the debugger in a large native C++ application we are developing in .net studio 2003. We added a new GUI which is an instance of an ILOG charts GUI and suddenly we could not set breakpoints anywhere in our code. On further investigation, if we maintain all the same project settings (linker/debugger etc) but comment out the instantiation of this new class the breakpoints work fine. If we put the new class in and comment out other areas of the GUI which instance different ILOG VIEWS classes the debug breakpoints work fine. If we have the application built with all the code together, then the debugger tu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office c# automation - copy excel table to a powerpoint slide

  Does anyone know how to copy an excel table to a powerpoint slide So far I'm able to open both applications and create the table in excel. I just can't copy that table over to the powerpoint slide. My last attempt was this: xlSheet.get_Range("A1","D1").Copy(shapes.AddTable(numRows, numCol, left, top, width, height)); Thanks for any help you can give! I'm still trying to find a solution for this. The .copy method has one paramater, a destination object. So right away I thought that since I wanted to copy it to a powerpoint slide, the slide would be the "destination object". It compiles but then gives me ...Show All
