• Visual Studio Express Editions wildcards

  I need to add functionality to my form in this program that for some fields allows negative numbers, some just numbers, some three positive numbers separted by commas, and some just text. Also, I prefill with a text file so I need the error check for this also... Thanks! Newbiana Well, I can allow for only one - but I can't figure out how to check if I'm at the beginning of the textbox. Also, I used this: Private Sub ErrorCheckOutGntName( ByVal Sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles OutGntName.KeyPress Dim EachTextBox As TextBox = ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF and Smart Clients

  Hi, I am evaluating WF for use in a smart client architecture, where different activities in a workflow can potentially take place across different clients and on the server. Ideally I'd like to share my WF assembly between the client and server. As steps in the WF are completed, I'd like the WF to be persisted both locally and back to the server if connected. Then, somehow, the server recreates the WF and continues on where the client left off. Am I dreaming or is this at least possible There are quite a few questions that come out of this. Here are some I can think of: Is a WF instance XML serializable (can I send them over ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Why Excel 2003 keeps PivotItems with zero record count after refresh?

  After a pivot table is refreshed, if some pivot item is no long exist in a pivot field, the pivot field drop selection still show that pivot item to allow user to select.  Selecting this kind of pivot item will lead to no data showing at all. This is no good. I perfer Excel will remove zero record count pivot item from the pivot field drop down selection box after a refresh. (I don't mind Excel keeping zero record count pivot item internally (this is good to preserve manual sort order of pivot item -- one refresh may return zero record for a pivot item, next refresh may have some records returned), but never show this pivot it ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2005 debugger is very slow

  I hate to admit it, but I am starting to build my app and then run the program from the command line or to run the "start without debugging" command to "visually" test code changes instead of stepping thru the code. Now I find that other programmers I work with are doing the same. The reason is that the 2005 debugger takes a lot longer to start up our program than the 2003 debugger. It appears to me that the problem is that the new debugger is very slow when it comes to loading the pdb files. Debugging the 32 or 64 bit version of the program is slow so its not just the remote debugger that slows things down. We d ...Show All
