• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL Server 2005 Express Samples (Adventure Works) with Visual Web Developer

• Visual Studio macro definitions in VS8 IDE

  How do you define or redefine a macro in the VS8 IDE -- for example TargetDir Hi Paul, There isn't a way to programmatically reset/change the macro. The macro is stipulated by the project's Output Path: property. If you change the output path setting on the Build tab of your project's property pages, you should see the change reflected in the TargetDir macro. I'll see if I can dig up something that will allow you to programatically change that Output Path setting. I seem to recall this was possible, but the docs for the OutputPath property for CSharpProjectConfigurationProperties3 seems to indicate th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Obtaining a reference for a existing project

• .NET Development Reusing classes without creating a dll

  Hi I am working with several different web sites hosted on the same Windows 2003 IIS server. These web sites need to use similar functionality, and therefore the same class files should be able to be used. I tried to create virtual directories in the website to point to the App_Code folder where the class files are stored, however, I then get the error "The path '/App_Code/' maps to a directory outside this application, which is not supported". I don't really wish to create a dll file, although even then, without putting this into the GAC, I would have to copy the dll into all of the Bin folders of each web site that requi ...Show All

  I have a Panel in which, in runtime, I put a “PictureBox” when I click on a button control.   When I click on this button, the PictureBox is positioned in a point with coordinates: (PosX,8) where “PosX” is calculated to place the PictureBox side by side.   When the number of the PictureBox increases, appear an horizontal scrollbar, because of I have selected the AutoScroll property to “true”.   If I move the Scrollbar, and THEN I click on the button to insert a new PictureBox, It will appear in WRONG position. The “PosX” variable is correct, but the new coordinates are calculated from the ...Show All
