• Windows Forms databound combobox in datagrid

  I am trying to apply a combobox style data selection in a collumn in a datagrid in VS 2005. The classic example is a datagrid with "orders" with a collumn for customerID. I'd like the customerID collumn to function as a combobox where a customer can be selected from a different table than the order.

• Visual C++ Does 8.0 (2005) support __asm on x86-64?

  One of the biggest problems we're currently having in porting our graphics code to x86-64 is that VC++ 7.x doesn't support __asm on x86-64.  We need it because we must reference various C++ structures from within the assembly code, and converting all our header files to MASM would take a long time.  It would also make it difficult to maintain the code, as structures would need to be modified in two places. We haven't tried VC++ 8. ...Show All
