• Visual Studio Express Editions Changing listview image at runtime

  Hi all, i have just started the transgression from vb6 to 2005. I am having a bit of a problem with changing a listview image at runtime. In vb6 this simply invovled chaging the image index of the listview item, but in 2005 there does not appear to be any image index for the listview item. There is an imagekey option but unlike vb6 there does not appear to be a 'key' field in the imagelist control.

Any help would be galdley appreciated. cheers Unclejack ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can Feature Area path break down be stored somewhere?

  Hi there,      Everytime I create new project, to add the all our Freature Area and component I have to go through Clasification and add them all one by one manually.
