  Hi, Could anyone please tell me how to set the width, height and position parameters of the scrollbar that appears automatically when the autoscroll option is set to true Thanks Arpit Arora. The AutoScroll property uses the operating systems scrollbars. Those are not controls but they are rather painted by the system in the nonclient area of the window. To change their position and size will be difficult if not impossible. For exampl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Globalization of special folder names

  I turned on the code checking feature of VSTS - what a mistake At any rate it got me thinking because it was suggesting that I put my strings into resources. Is there a method that will deliver the culture dependent strings for the special folder names, in particular Desktop, My Documents, My Pictures, etc. Rather than displaying file names like C:\Documents and Settings\This user\Desktop\somefile.doc, i'm displaying Desktop\somefile.doc ...Show All

• Visual Basic using a timeout for file.exists

  When I use the file.exists in visual basic, if the file in fact does not exist or there is a firewall involved, etc.... the time to return a value is longer than acceptable for my program. Is there a way I can use a timeout I would like to check to see if the file exists but only if it can give me a return within 2 seconds, for example. Thanks, Arkman5 Hi Arkman5, I haven't experienced a long return time with File.Exists. Are you ...Show All

• Visual C++ Batch Build Broken

  Re Visual Studio 2005 Standard: I'm testing with a large project (240 components), and I found that parallel builds don't work from the Batch Build box, no matter what setting I use (1-32) for the number of builds. Oddly enough, parallel builds worked fine in Beta 2, and they still work if I choose to build a "solution." When I do a batch build, however, I'm back to one CL process at a time. This same project took 3 minutes to build in Beta 2. I ...Show All

• .NET Development Removing IIS site port from WSDL

  Due to the arrangement we have with our firewall, our IIS server sits behind our firewall and hosts websites on different ports. When requests come though the firewall for different URLs, the firewall handles these and passes them onto the appropriate sites by their port. This is fine for everything but web services. When you try to capture a web service on a site behind the firewall, for some reason the WSDL keeps putting the port of the websit ...Show All

• Architecture General best practices for .NET development

  Hello, I'm an ex Java developer now working for a young and fairly naive company that is largely .NET oriented. I, and really the company as a whole, feel very much "thrown into the thick of things" and I'm positive there are better methods and techniques to accomplish my goals. I just find myself often with general questions about .NET and writing .NET applications. Ideal versioning techniques, sharing libraries we have written ...Show All
