• Visual C# Saving a Solution

That means you have to do it manually or you can look for third party conversion tool. Regards ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MobileForm background color not being rendering with WML

  I have a MobileForm that has a background color set, but when I browse to that form via a device that expects WML, the background color is not sent to the browser.  If I browse to the form with a device that expects html it is fine. Question is: Can .NET create the WML properly and send the style attribute of the card element in wml to set the background color Thanks! Erik, I belive you are in the wrong forum for the questions you are asking. the .NET Compact Framework has no knowlege whatsoever of WML. ...Show All

• Visual Studio vstemplate showing up odd in the "Add New Item" dialog

  We have created our own custom project type and have specified a project items directory to put all of our templates in for the "Add New Item" dialog. It seems as though when the "Add New Item" dialog opens, it is listing all files in that directory.  If we put in a mytemplate.vstemplate in that directory it just shows up as a template file.  It doesn't have the icon that is specified inside the the template file nor the name or description.  It just displays the file. I even tried copying one of the ZIP files from the default visual studio installation like DataSet.ZIP into this directory assuming it would work.  But the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SDK compatability with VS2005 RC

  First of all, the software looks great. The time and dedication is evident with the thoroughness of the design. Currently, we have our own proprietary workflow engine and were about to look at re-envisioning our designer as a DSL. With this announcement, we will have to re-evaluate our position.  We have a few guys at PDC this year and they have been very impressed with the demonstrations and labs (I just had to pick this year to go to Teched instead of PDC!) Sorry if this has already been asked. I skimmed thru the readme and didnt find any info other then Beta 1 of VS2005 is definately supported. Is the SDK currently sup ...Show All

• SQL Server Filter Records returned on report builder based on User LogOn

  Dear Anyone, Is there a way to filter the records returned by a report model in report builder depending on the actual user that is logged on the report If so, how do we go about this Thanks, Joseph This has been vexing me as well for quite some time as well. At times, it seems like I'm getting real close to an answer just to get shot down by restrictions on what entities are available when inside the Expression Editor. In my case, all data goes through our web services and users have no direct access to the database, so that leaves making filtered views out of the question. ...Show All

I would suggest you file the bug on the MSDN feedback center to ensure that we can track the bug and get it fixed for the next verison of visual studio. Yours, Dominic ...Show All
