• Windows Forms Using arrow keys to navigate through ComboBox issue

  Hi all, I have a rare instance where I need to let the users of my application use the arrow keys to navigate through the controls. One such control they will navigate to is the ComboBox control, and this is the control that is giving me problems when using the arrow keys. So when I press the up arrow and the currently selected value in the combobox is on the last entry, the focus goes to the next control the combobox selected index goes down a value (so entry before it now gets displayed). Now if any other value is selected other than the last value in the combobox list then I can set the SelectedIndex to + 1 on the keydown event (this will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage Techniques

  From the first glance of Team Test it seems as if the technique used for measuring code coverage is statement coverage. Are there plans to add support for other code coverage measures as well The British Standard for Software Component Testing BS7925-2 mentions the following techniques apart from statement coverage: BRANCH AND DECISION COVERAGE DATA FLOW COVERAGE BRANCH CONDITION COVERAGE BRANCH CONDITION COMBINATION COVERAGE MODIFIED CONDITION DECISION COVERAGE LCSAJ COVERAGE Of practical interest for me is branch coverage. The Food and Drug Administration sets the bar on code coverage for medical software. They state in their g ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP Headers

  Hi, In classic web services I could define services like this: [ WebMethod ] [ SoapHeader ( "SessionHeader" , Direction = SoapHeaderDirection .Out)] public bool Logon( string user, string password) To achieve the same thing (including the SOAP header) with WCF, it would appear that I have to do this: [OperationContract] LogonResponse Logon(LogonRequest request); As such I have to define LogonResponse and LogonRequest myself, which is easy but a little tedious. It also imposes on the way the service is used at the client. Similarly, I used to be able to do this: [ WebMethod ] [ SoapHeader ( "SessionHea ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro sometimes no response to mouse clicks.

  I have always had problems with items in VFP requiring more than one try in order for them to respond to a mouse click. For example, many times I have to double click again in order for an item in the project manager to open. Now I have noticed that this happens also in the runtime. Users click a page tab in a page frame, and nothing happens. They click again, and al is good. Anyone confronted this kind of problem Thx. I've seen it but in my case is may be the result of my using a wireless mouse. If you move the base too far away you will miss a lot of clicks and key strokes. If the batte ...Show All
