• Visual Studio Express Editions Why Is It Evil For Some To Use Data Bound Controls?

  Thanks I wouldn't consider them "evil" in .NET. Back in the pre .NET versions of Visual Basic most experienced developers frowned upon there use primarily because they were designed to create "quick and dirty" database applications. In addition there were several problems with these type of controls. First they were somewhat inflexible in that it was rather difficult to incorporate custom behavior. Second, you often had to work around idiosyncratic behavior to get them to do what you wanted. Third, they often didn't support the exact the functionality you needed which often required t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ME Compatibility

  Greets again, I got my first database program running in XP. I installed in ME after installing .Net Framework 2.0. It's a simple database program using Access .mdb file as the database.

• Visual C++ trackBar bug? Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta 2

  Hello, I have set the trackBar to max   10 min   -10 These figures are accepted, the build goes OK and the app runs and I can select trackBar values between -10 and +10. But! On three occasions when making unconnected code changes, I have found that when I ran the app it was not possible to move the trackBar pointer. Have now seen on one of thjose occasions that the -10 figure had changed to 10 ! This seems odd. Any ideas Cheers Geoff I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. If you are still reproducing it reliably, please log a bug at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting LNK4224 with B2 - what's the story?

  Hi David! When building projects with VS2005 B2 I'm now seeing lots of these: mymodname.obj : warning LNK4224: /COMMENT is no longer supported;  ignored While the message is straightforward, what's the story behind it The "/COMMENT" was marked as depricated in VC2003 and is now consequently removed... You should use " #pragma comment" instead. The reason might be: more C++ conform. -- Greetings Jochen Kalmbach Microsoft MVP VC++ My blog about Win32 and .NET http://blog.kalmbachnet.de/ PS: Please mark an answer as "answered" if it helped!!! ...Show All
