• Visual C# Programming Languages Design

  From a programming languages design point of view what is the difference between java and C# Okay, now on the web, there are tools for you to parse Java code into CSharp code. It quite good. In fact, if you feel that you are much better in Java then in C#, you can convert you Java code into C# code when you are done developing the program. Bear in mind, the library files are different. You might not want to include that in the conversion. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Outline Pen Width

  Hey Guys, I have a quick question: How can I change the pen width for the outline of a shape Thanks in advance Pablo Hi Pablo, It works the same for all of the shape types. In the current bits, you'll need to write some custom code to change the pen width. To do so, you need to override the InitializeResources method for the shape classes that you want to change. And then, use code like the one below: public partial class Ex ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) my pet project: AnimationBehaviors

  I’ve been working on a project in my spare time called “AnimationBehaviors”. Now that I’ve got it working reasonably well I’d like to share it with the world. The animation system in WPF is really powerful, however it’s not always easy to create certain effects in XAML without falling down to code. Even when code is not required, it’s not always easy to create reusable animation effects. Enter AnimationBehaviors. AnimationBehaviors is a lib ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Load tests not getting dependent files

  I have some working coded web tests. However, when I use them in a load test, almost nothing happens. The first POST is passed and then the load test does not GET the dependent files (with the exception of the style sheet according to the server log). After this, nothing. The load test does not attempt another POST. In fact, the load test monitor does not even report that any tests are under way. It only reports user(s) and request(s). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need clarification about installing Team Explorer

  I suspect this may have already been answered, but my search only turned up a question with no reply. I need to know how to install Team Explorer. My development machine uses Win2003 SP1, and I have VSTS RC1 installed. When I try to install Team Explorer from the TFS beta 3 refresh media, I get stopped by a screen that says I need to uninstall all pre-release software. It lists VSTS 2005 Team Suite among other things. Does this mean I cannot us ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to use VisitFor?

  Hi, I'm writing a custom rule where I want to inspect For blocks, and it seems that the VisitFor method fits the bill. However, when does this method get called I tried overwriting the Check(Member) method, and then call both VisitMethod and VisitBlock, but the VisitFor method never seems to be called. Ideas Throw maps directly to an IL opcode, so the abstract syntax tree raised from a compiled assembly can represent it. There is no 'For' ...Show All

• .NET Development Help File in Asp.Net

  How to open a .chm file from Asp.Net web application Is there any class library for the same Hi! I don't think there is an easy way to do that. If the file is on the server, you could simply create a link and have the user download and open that. If the CHM file is on the client machine, you may be able to do it via JavaScript, but you'll run into different user experiences here as some people may have ...Show All

• Visual C++ porting vc++ 6.0 user exit to vc++ express edition

  Hi, I want to compile a user exit that was developed using vc++ 6.0 with vc++ express edition. The compile works fine, but the application crashes. My 'trial and error' experiments with linker options, especially with manifest files, resulted in much confusion... The app itself is written (not by me) using vc++ 6.0. The user exit (written by me) is a simple win32-dll where some math is done (no MFC at all, simple standard c++ code). The er ...Show All

• Visual C++ ::GetWindowLongPtr() and cast errors

  It seems that ::SetWindowLongPtr() and ::GetWindowLongPtr() are defined to just map to set/get window long in 32-bit windows. The problem with this is that, even though I use the correct casts and functions, I still get a warning from VC++ about possible loss of data (because I stuff a pointer into this field). Is there any way of writing code that calls ::SetWindowLongPtr() and ::GetWindowLongPtr() that doesn't issue this warning, without turni ...Show All
