• Visual Studio Express Editions Help with MDI Form.

  How can i get like a taskbar sort of thing where you click on the button and it shows that form like in this example http://www.winmxunlimited.net/pic11.png The parent form has an MdiChildren property that is an array of Form references to the child forms. You can use that to access members of the child forms like Text and Focus. It's not really necessary though because the MainMenu and MenuStrip classes can automatically put a list of child forms under a menu item. You simply assign the desired item, which would normally be named "Window", to the MdiListItem property and the rest is done for you. The property name is slig ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to: Generate many files from one template?

  I have a DSL now taking shape, including generating code that executes properly, and I must say I am pleased with how quickly it has come together. Now I have a secondary goal to fill: producing static documentation from the diagram. I'd like to produce a set of HTML files (one for each instance of the primary classes in the DSL). I don't see how I can do that with the current structure, which allows me to generate exactly one file from each template. Do I need to create a new DirectiveProcessor or TextTransformation class Can you offer any pointers on how to create many files from one template Thanks, Brian. ...Show All

• .NET Development Internals of remote object creation

  Hi all, When you have a code segment like the following: ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new TcpClientChannel()); RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType(typeof(TransactionMaintenance), "tcp://localhost:1235/TransactionMaintenance"); this.transactionMaintenance = new TransactionMaintenance(); I wasn't able to find a link between the type registration and the object instantiation. If you inspect the IL for this code the object instantiation is done with a newobj opcode just as would have been done for a local object. How does the CLR know that it should instantiate a remote class instead of a local one Thanks in advance. Alfred Gar ...Show All

Can that be done in Windows forms My experience is humble in windows forms, I mainly develop in Web forms. Thanks a lot. Regards >I just though of having that service, pop up a small window down the task bar. >Can that be done in Windows forms You can certainly develop a Windows Forms app that pops up a window.

• Visual Studio Team System Web tests recording is disabled.

  VS2005TS RTM. When I start a new webtest VS automatically launches IE and I have to activate IE windows myself. The recorder buttons are all disabled (grayed) and surfing around does not result in anything in the project.

Hi, can you let me know if there was a resolution to this   I'm also having this problem. Darren ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005 Emulator - won't go away
