• Visual Studio WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE BUG IN THE CLASS DESIGNER?

  The class details window is no longer accessible after you set it's autohide property.  The workaround you proposed, as far as I know, is: DO NOT SET THE AUTOHIDE PROPERTY. This was reported to you many months ago during the BETA cycle, and now the bug persists in the RTM. This is very annoying because I've become accustomed to the convenience of setting the autohide properties of most windows except the code and form designer.  But when I inadvertently do this to the class details window, the only way I figured out to get it back is to delete my VSsetting file.  This, unfortunately, removes my entire personal configurati ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Accessing default styles

  I have a very simple question with a seemingly undocumented answer. Where are the default styles stored, and how do I access them The ToolBar class has static members, ButtonStyleKey, CheckBoxStyleKey, ComboBoxStyleKey, etc. Each of these are keys to style objects, but which ResourceDictionary are they in I want to be able to make a button outside a toolbar look like it's in a toolbar. So I though applying this style would work, but I can't seem to find where to get it. Any ideas You can do that in Expression Interactive Designer (Sparkle).

• Visual Basic Arranging Pictures On Win Forms a la Win Desktop

  All, I'm trying to create an app that uses a form like the Win desktop where you can arrange icons. Instead of icons I'll be using picture box controls. I understand how to use the drag and drop events, but can't figure out how to drop the picture box and make it stay exactly where it's dropped on the form. Do I need to use a different container control than the form itself I'll also need to figure out how to auto-arrange the picture boxes if they're dragged on top of or too close to existing picture boxes. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! You'll have trouble doing that because ...Show All

• Visual Studio Undoing checkout

  Hi everybody, I'm trying to implement a continuous integration process here, and I'm using the following article as a baseline: http://dougrohm.com/cs/articles/56.aspx There's one thing there that's giving me problems, though. In one of the steps on the process described on the article, a "version.txt" file gets checked out, modified, and then checked in when the process is done. If there's a problem and the build process fails, the file never gets checked back in. Then say the problem with the build got fixed. In theory, the next build should succeed. However, it's failing because it can't check the version.txt file out, ...Show All
