• Windows Forms Format phone number

  Hello, I have a text field where the user types in a telephone number. When the user is done typing the number and the text field loses its focus I need to take whatever the user typed and format it to a standard format. i.e. ###-###-#### If a user types 1234567890  I need it to change to 123-456-7890.  Any ideas on how to do this or examples Thanks! The user will enter in different formats of a phone number. Two ways to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Uninstalling LINQ Preview from VS Beta 2

  I made the mistake of uninstalling the LINQ Preview from Add/Remove Programs before running that "Uninstall Visual Studio IDE Support" file, so VS still gives me warnings whenever I start it. I read another post suggesting to download the preview again and install it to get those files.. but MS has taken down the download for LINQ Preview that works with Beta 2. Now they only have one for the RTM release (whatever that is). I can install that o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving My.Settings variables

  This is a two part question. My weather program stores a partner ID and license key for the user in My.Settings, as well as a string collection for their favorite zip codes. The app is set up to check my website for updates to the program and install from there. When you install a newer version of the program when it prompts you to, it makes you lose your My.Settings variables. I'd really like to not have to write these to a text file somewhere ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Rule McCabe's Cyclomatic complexity.

  Cyclomatic complexity considered a broad measure of soundness and confidence for a program. Thomas McCabe introduced in 1976, it measures the number of linearly-independent paths through a program module. Unfortunately FxCop does not have any built-in rule for identifying Cyclomatic complexity. If anybody had already implemented any custom rule, let us share it in this forum. I am working on my version. But I am facing some probl ...Show All

  VSTS is supposed to support Windows 2000 ADs by the time it RTMs.  I had heard from someone though that VSTS will not support Win2K ADs in NT4 mixed-mode.  I'm not a sysadmin and I'm not sure about the terminology.  However, I would like to confirm if this is true and if so, how would I go about finding out if our corporate AD is in NT4 mixed-mode Then again, if the MMC snap-in&nbs ...Show All
