• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Lambdas in Custom Attributes

  I want to pursue the concept of embedding lamdbas in custom attributes. It is not supported today to my knowledge but I believe could be very valuable for DLINQ and more.  public class Customer {   [Association((c, o) => c.CustomerID == o.CustomerID && o.Status == OrderStatus.Incomplete)]   public Order[] IncompleteOrders; } I believe that a syntax such as this would generalize the join conditions that are supported by AssociationAttribute and allow for additional conditions. In that way, queries need not repeat those conditions.  Note that regardless of whether DLINQ adopts this, there is a deeper is ...Show All

• 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

If you login locally, you will also need to add both the report server and report manager URLs to Trusted Sites if you are using IE. Let me know if this solves your problem. -Lukasz ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom ruol for Class

  Hi Friends,    I want to make custom rule that class must start with C then a meaningfull name. For that what will be changed in public override ProblemCollection Check(Microsoft.Cci.Member member) and a piece of code will also be useful with this to apply in FxCop... thnx Before posting a code example, I should note that this check you have in mind directly contradicts the MS Design Guidelines for reusable libraries. The FxCop rule ' IdentifiersShouldNotHaveIncorrectPrefix' will fire against class names that folow the CFoo pattern. This is a C++-ism that is no longer recommended. If you' ...Show All

• Visual C# IDE taking forever to get in and out of debug mode

  I have a pretty small app written in C#.  At first - when I was building the form, IDE performance getting in and out of debug mode was fine - about the same as with VS2003.  But now - without adding too much additional code, the IDE is acting really sluggish.  I measured the time to start the app in debug mode - the time measured from when I hit F5 until the form was display was 72 seconds, and the time getween closing the app and when the IDE was active again was 59 seconds. Also just switching between the code and the design tab of the main form takes a long time. Is anyone else seeing similar behavior   Its making ...Show All

• Visual C++ Class Designer not a feature for C++?

  There is an error in the Visual Studio 2005 product line info at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/productinfo/productline/default.aspx The table lists Class Designer as a feature, but as far as I am concerned, this is not true if it does not support C++.  Anyone else look at this table and think it was in there   I'm sure someone overlooked this, but it is somewhat disappointing to rely on this table for the past few weeks and learn latter this feature was removed for C++ about six months ago. This is now considered closed at the feedback center. There seems to be a lack of understanding on ...Show All
