• Visual FoxPro Office 2003 SP2 with Item Display Method

  I have some existing code in VFP6 that was working fine with Outlook 2003 until we installed Office 2003 Service Pack 2. This has done the same thing on 2 separate workstations that were both working.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where to go?

  Hello everyone, This is my first post. A week a go I didn’t know C# existed and only had heard the term “Direct X”, but never knew anything about it. 5-6 days a go I accidentally stumbled upon the 8 part C# RSS reader video tutorial (Done by learnvisualstudio.net, but hosted at Microsoft). I watched most of that and became quite interested in trying C#, so I downloaded C# express edition. Later I read a bit about DirectX, which made me really, really, really want to make a game. Since then I have been devoting about 4-6 hours a day to learn C# and DirectX.   I have learnt a lot, but I am definitely extremely new. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Gaps in Unit Test Documentation, Help Needed

  At the risk of seeming an absolute dud, I am having problems getting Unit Tests to work on several fronts.

  Hi all, I'm trying to create an ErrorProvider that I can give a data context to and have it display errors automatically thanks to the IDataErrorInfo interface. Is there a way to interrogate the current page (this is a WPF navigation application) to find all the bindings on the page Thanks, Do you mean is it possible at runtime to tell what properties on an object were provided through the binding system versus what was manually set on the object When I first think of it, I'd guess no. But then the various bindings have to be stored somewhere right...So let's dive into the framework and see what we find. Let's start with th ...Show All
