• .NET Development debug xslt command not available

  I'm trying to debug a xslt fle with Visual Studio 2005 beta 2. I loaded an xslt file and selected an xml file for input. But the "Show XSLT Output" button and the "Debug XSLT" button are disabled. I failed to do a required action, but I have no idea what I did wrong. Anyone has any idea Okay, and what if I just finished installing the office system, which is indeed claimed to have the xslt debugger, and the command is still not available.

• Software Development for Windows Vista CreateProcess() + "highestAvailable" = error 740

  On vista Beta 2, i have added a manifest to one of my executeables that specifies the "highestAvailable" application marking. If I am logged on as a member of the administrator group, with UAC at the default setting, and call CreateProcess() on this executable, it fails with GetLastError()==740. Wouldn't it be better if the process creation succeeded, but as a limited user This makes things very difficult to code for - if my application is started directly by the user, via cmd.exe for example, I get the UAC dialog, but if it is started silently via CreateProcess(), it fails completely. How about if a service needs to im ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS 2005 (no beta). DataGridView. Problems with RowHeadersWidth and .ErrorText

  Hi ! I use VS 2005 (no beta).  I think I found a Bug in the DataGridView class.  I set the ErrorText property and could not see the red icon because I altered the RowHeadersWidth property. Then I comment this command and I could see the error icon and the error text on the row header again. It's amazing ! best regards, Joao Araujo this .dgrView.BorderStyle = BorderStyle .Fixed3D; // dgrView.RowHeadersWidth = 32; dgrView.MultiSelect = false ; dgrView.AllowUserToResizeRows = true ; dgrView.AllowUserToResizeColumns = true ; dgrView.AllowUserToAddRows = false ; dgrView.SelectionMode = Dat ...Show All

• Visual Basic fun with arrays

  Hallo,   Does anyone knows an answer to this array-related questions... 1) Is it possible to concatenate arrays, or add elements like you do with strings.Pseudocode would look like:    dim myarray() as integer    foreach element in elements         myArray=Array( myArray, element)    next element 2) Can a function return an array and how can I read the returned value.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form close and BackgroundWorker

  I have a BackgroundWorker retriving data to a report viewer and it takes a minute or so. What should I do for when the user closes the form (MDIChild) during the life of the BackgroundWorker I added BackgroundWorker.CancelAsync() in the formclosing event and it seam to work, but when you exit the application you get an error. Hi, In the FormClosing event of the main application wait until the IsBusy property of the BackgroundWorker becomes FALSE. A better implementation is to cancel the form closing and to start a custom timer which checks every N milliseconds the IsBusy property. You may also test whether the Cl ...Show All

• .NET Development connecting Bindingsource with objects

  Hi, I have a question that's been bugging me for the last couple of days, and i'm afraid there isn't an easy solution. I have a list of objects - say Customer, which contains an Address object. I take that list and create a BindingSource object. This bindingsource is then used as the datasource for a datagridview object. However, on display, the internal attributes of the Address object aren't added to the datagridview as columns - there is only one column which displays namespace.classname How do i get the Address object to display on the datagridview Thanks, Jay Reading this may help... http://foru ...Show All
