• Smart Device Development Split screen in native

Thanks, Pete M Hi, When you say custom toolbar do you mean a tool bar in the application If that is the case then that can be done with a toolabr in the main frame window, while you use the view for displaying the actual window. Thanks ...Show All

• .NET Development How to lock up a file

  I am writing some C# code which processes a set of files in a source directory and then moves the files to a destination directory. The code must be able to handle a situation in which one of the files might become locked while the files are being processed. I am not concerned at this point with how to handle the exception when a particular file is locked. What I need to know is how can I lock up the file You see, I must test my code against a file that is locked up. I tried locking up a file by selecting it, and then right clicking on the file and selecting rename. I also tried opening the file for edit. Neither of these two methods will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can not add event handler

  Hello, I am using Visual Web developer 2005. I have a datagrid, and I am trying to delete a row, so I need to add an event: Protected Sub delete_row( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewDeletedEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowDeleted End Sub When I write this code, "gridview1" becomes sublined.

What can I do to solve this situation Thanks, Alex Hover your mouse over the subli ...Show All

• SQL Server Autosize reportviewer control

  I want the reportviewer to display the report exactly over the entire screen. If I try to use "width=100%", the report viewer control expands beyond the screen area making us to scroll to view the "View Report" button. However, in the report manager, the same report gets displayed exactly occupying the screen size no matter what resolution the screen size is. How is it done Thanks. Hi, I think by setting the width we can control the size of the reportviewer control not the report data itself. By setting the width to 100%, we can arrange the width of the area which includes the parameters, the view report ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to protect company systems source code?

  Hi all, Is there a way to protect the company systems from the development teem to copy the company developed systems source code Is MS-VSS is the right way We are using VS 2003 I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but VSS may not be the answer. VSS doesn't have security measures that will prevent a developer to steal source code and publish it outside your company (copy/mail). You can prevent other users to access the files stored in VSS databases by setting correctly the Windows permissions on the database's file share and the NTFS permissions on the files. You can't prevent ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Differences between FxCop GUI and VS 2005

  Hi all, is there any place where I can find what the main differences are between FxCop GUI and VS IDE (as far as code analysis goes) For instance, I see that VS doesn't show the URL for the documentation on a given rule. What else is missing Is the "suppress message" in VS relative to the "exclude" in FxCop If so, how do can I force developers to type in the reason why they're supressing a message And how can I see a list of all the messages suppressed It seems to me that code analysis support is just half-baked in VS, and in such case, I see no use in migrating from FxCop GUI to VS. Any comments on that ...Show All
