• Software Development for Windows Vista How the Windows Vista (Explorer) View should work.

  This article makes it alot clearer to understand what I mean then my previous ramblings... How the Windows Vista (Explorer) View should work. The View button for icon(s) I think there should be one for Text aswell being able to scale-up and scale-down the text rather then going into  a settings window... I wann be able to set the begin and end for the scale up/down component so If I want the scale-down (icons) to end at 19x19px rather then 0x0px I should also being able to set how big the icon can scale this way when monitors get higher resolutions we can just change the end scale point to something new. I should be able to have a Text ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Overriding properties in .vbproj and .csproj with Team Build

  I have a situation where I want all my visual studio projects in source control to be set to delay signed so that they have no problems developing with that code - which sets the property in each .vb/.csproj to : <DelaySign>true</DelaySign> However for a formal release build on the build machine, I dont want to delay sign. I guess I could go through the labourious exercise of editing every .vb/.csproj file to add a condition to set true/false depending on where the build is being carried out. or I could create some sort of custom task and add it to the BeforeBuild target in my Team Build that resets this property in each file to ...Show All

• Visual Studio "Start Debugging" vs "Start without Debugging" speed in VS2005

  I experienced extremely slow performance in VS2005, when I "Start Debugging" an application which uses System.Drawing.Bitmap (might be anything that uses interop, but that's just my wild guess). Everything is fast if I "Start withoug Debugging" and it does not matter if I compile a release or a debug version. Please check this little piece of code: namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { System.Drawing.Bitmap b = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(1000, 1000); int bla = 0; for ( int x = 0; x < 1000000; ++x) bla = bla + b.Width; } } }   It demonstrates the difference in speed nicely and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Upgrading projects using Crystal from beta1 to beta2 failed

The system could not find the file specified. Has something changed Hi Bill. Maybe if you try to insert a new report to your project using vs 2005 beta 2 it will correct the references. The version numbers have change for CR dll's. I'm also using VS 2005 Beta 2 and it's not the same version as those you provide. Check in your web.config. Hop ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't clear the VSS Working Directory in VSS2005

  In VSS 6.0d, I can clear the working folder for any given project/subproject by simply setting it to a blank entry. This allows me to remove/reset the working folder of a subproject, which in turn causes it to inherit the working directory of its parent. In VSS2005, when I clear the textbox for the "set working folder", the "save" button is disabled. Is there an option to turn this feature back on in VSS 2005 I really miss that! I need to be able to manually control the working folders when using the VSS UI. You can get the old dialog by keeping the Shift key pressed when clicking SetWorking Folders or by ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why will LINQ fail ?

  Microsoft tries to helping object developers to close the gap between the relational world and the object world.And they call this " object modelling approach " Dlinq. Using " custom business entities " in enterprise programming with Dlinq might seem the best thing after " sliced bread " but it isn't. For my part I have written my Mappers and used commercial OR/M tools. They mostly provide the same thing. __Read the table from the database. ___Put that into a some HELPER thing.( DAO,DAL,ORM) ____Put that into your custom business object _____Read from your business object.(if u can :) ) I see NO REASON for this " Unnecessary Pull ...Show All
