• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Editing style of selected row in ListBox

  Hi, I'm using the February CTP and I want to edit the style of the marked item in a ListBox. I have figured out that I probably need DataTriggers, but I don't know how to use them. All I want to do is to be able to change the blue background when a list item is clicked to something else.

• Visual C++ Detect if .NET Framework is installed

  I am writing a plugin for a 4th Dimension database where I am using .NET 2.0 for much of the advanced functionality but would like to be able to fallback to native (unmanaged) c++ if the framework is not installed on the machine to provide some basic functionality. Is this possible The plugin is basically a DLL that uses a standard interface with 4th Dimension that is provided as C code. I have my plugin already working so that the unmanaged C++ calls .NET.

• Visual Studio Hiding the Navigation Bars

  Hello all, I've implemented a language service using the core editor. In my LS I have added the support needed for the editor nagivation bars. The only problem I have is that when disabling the nagivation bars from the Tools > Options dialog, for my editor, they do not dissappear. Even when I restart Visual Studio .NET there are still there, even though the 'Navigation bar' is unchecked in my editor options. When implementing a language service, I do not override the default implementation of LanguageService.CreateCodeWindowManger or LanguageService.GetCodeWindowManager, so I was expecting removal of the navigation bar adornments to be ha ...Show All
