• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C++ 2005 documentation

  June 11, 2006 I am transitioning from Visual C++ 6 to Visual C++ 2005. I am using the Express Edition as my entry point. I have a concern about the lack of Visual C++ 2005 documentation. For example, why does the Microsoft Press "Build a Program Now" book series include versions for other Express Edition languages, but not for Visual C++ 2005 I don't see any Visual C++ 2005 books pending from Microsoft Press.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to set a date field to null

  I have a bound text box showing a date field and I can enter a date into this no problem and save the changes. I have spent the past two days trying to find a way to allow the user to delete the date i.e. set the field back to null!

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is MediaElement/MediaPlayer support broken in December CTP?

  I have tried playing around with the MediaElement in both Independent mode and using a MediaTimeline but could not properly control the running Video. I implemented Pause/Resume as well as Stop/Play to restart the Video but both failed to work properly. Both will stop the rendering frame at the instance of Stop/Pause but will never re-render new frames once Resume/Play is called. In both cases the Video sound restarts at the beginning and only starts to re-rendering frames after it hits the frame location I paused the Video. In the case of playing the Video to the end I get the MediaComplete event and it shows the last frame ...Show All
