• Windows Forms To convert pixel into inces or viceversa

  Hi, Plz tell me the exaxt method to convert pixels into inches or vice versa through C#. net. Thanks, Hitesh Converting between the two requires knowing the DPI you are currently in. Normally windows runs at 96 DPI so if you’ve got a 1 inch long line on the screen there are 96 pixels being used to display it (provided the overall resolution relates properly to the size of the monitor). With simple math you can use this value as you need it. In most cases though you will want to determine the current screen DPI... to do that you need only instantiate an instance of the Graphics class that is bound to your form or another con ...Show All

• .NET Development 64 Bit Local Debugger on Whidbey FINAL

  Will the local debugger on VS.NET 2005 FINAL RELEASE be able to debug 64 Bit apps Remote debugger sucks a little bit.

This is because VS is a 32-bit application in Whidbey. However, as you have noted, they do a good job of hiding it and in my debugging using VS it seems to work pretty well. The major omission being no edit and continue on 64-bit projects is however a CLR limitation. Most applications however correctly run as agnostic code, in which case if ...Show All
