• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ install fails (May CTP)

  Hi, When starting the installer, I get the message: "Cannot find a valid Product to install LINQ with" and then tells me that I need a version of Visual Studio 2005 installed in the next dialog. I do have Visual Studio 2005 Professional (German) installed and I never had such problems with other previews that involved VS 2005 (e.g. Orcas). I believe that the problem is related to the german language version of VS 2005 since there was also a language problem in the last preview (you had to copy some files after installation). The last CTP however installed at least. Does anyone have a workarround for this I know that oth ...Show All

• Visual Basic HScrollBar and AutoRedraw

  HScrollBar From the toolbox, the HScrollBar does not seem to be working (as it did in VB6) It does not fire on "Gotfocus", no matter where you click There is no "Mouseup" event for ending the scroll. Is this tool being phased out, or are there known bugs Related to this problem is Auto-redraw. I use the Scrollbar to help make a selection. As the user pulls the cursor, I have a floating textbox to provide information as the scrollbar passes the choice in question. In VB6 the AutoRedraw of the form avoided erasing stuff in the pathway of the textbox. I read that AutoRedr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem Drawing to Desktop DC

  When I create a DC by calling CreateDC(L"DISPLAY",NULL,NULL,NULL), what I draw disappears very quickly. This did not happen until I installed build 5219. It continues to happen in build 5231. This makes a technique used to draw tooltips not work. It does not happen under remote desktop, just on the local screen. Any ideas on when this might be fixed Do not write directly to ScreenDC, you're asking for trouble ( I did that before, won't do it again ). I'm not even sure this will still be possible on OS >= Vista RTM. So to answer your question it might as well be "never". ...All right, for app compat reason, it might still be there fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Printing from VB Express

  I have come across several posts indicating that it is nearly impossible to print documents, much less interact with Word, when using Visual Basic Express. Is this true If so, will this functionality ever be included or will I have to either purchase Visual Studio or learn another language While not impossible to print in VB 2005 ( this includes the Express Edition too) it takes a bit of work to get the results you want. There are a lot of printing capabilities in VB 2005, but, you need to do some reading to maximize your results. Doing a Google Search in the Groups section will find a lot of info on print ...Show All

• .NET Development Can't update Access 2000, unhandled OleDbException BugID FDBK49997

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getpixel API

  visual basic code: Where did you find this code What is it supposed to do Cut and paste of code you don't understand is always a bad idea. hdc would be a device context, the thing that Windows must generate in order to draw something.

Can someone please explain to me how to use this code so that I can grab the pixel color from a location on the screen Well, forget the session stuff, and instead just pass IntPtr.Zero ( from memory, it's NULL that you want ) to GetDC to get the DC of ...Show All

• SQL Server Dataflow where sourcecolumns vary ?

  Is it possible to set up at dataflow with for example an excel source that points to a sheet with varying number of colums. In the file there is some information about number of columns. But the question is here how you use that information to define the columns in the dataflow The columns in the data-flow need to be known at design-time so by and large you cannot chage things at runtime. There is a workaround though - you can change a package that you are about to execute using the execute package task.
