• Visual Basic Opening a text file externally

  Hi, This is a simple question. I wrote a text editor specifically designed for the use of some data files i use. Now what i want to do is open the data file extenrnally from the windows explorer into my program. I will assign the extension to the software manually and on a later stage do it in a registry command. At the moment when i open the file (which is a text file, with a .DAT extension) in my program nothing happens. The program opens but the text file does not load. Is there a parameter that i should add when loading the program Thanks Just to make sure I've understood: When you doubleclick a DAT-file, your edito ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie: Form problems

  Why is it that I will loose all of the labels, textboxes, and everything off of a form. I have built an application with about 50+ forms, certain forms will lose the information in them (in the design view only though). If I build and run the app, all of the textboxes and labels are there, but my toolstrip buttons are...not visible, even though they are fully useable. I have noticed that the forms that this happens on are all have two extra files now. for instance, there is a form1.vb, then a form1.resx, and a form1.designer.vb. does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future Thanks in a ...Show All

• Visual C# Where is Object Test Bench in Beta2 (VSTS)?

  I have installed VS 2005 Beta2 Team System - the full suite. And I can't find Object Test Bench any where. I tried right-clicking on the classes in class view, I tried right-clicks on the Class Diagram's classes there is no entry in the context menu to invoke a class or method. I am using the C# Windows Forms Project as well as looked inside a C# Web Project. Is there a registry tweak to enable this feature Or VSTS version does not ship with the object test bench Regards, Saurabh Nandu Sometimes we have to accept the consequences of our decisions. Choosing to learn VB.NET when C# is _clearly_ the better language is not their fault. " ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Why is a hidden VSTO document grabbing input focus?

  I use a number of command line tools to manipulate Word Documents with attached VSTO 2005 assemblies via COM Automation. I am having issues with these VSTO documents grabbing input focus, despite running in an invisible Word instance. Automating non-VSTO 2005 documents (i.e. VSTO 2003 docs or "regular" Word docs without any customization assemblies) do not exhibit the same issues. I am aware that the VS 2005 Debugger (xxx.vshost.exe) sends messages to Word whilst it is running, and this can result in momentary loss of focus to the debugged instances of Word, however I am experiencing these symptoms when running a release build o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work items seems to use sAMAccountName as key to the AssigneTo field.

  When assigning work items to people the dropdown list displays a list of sAMAccountName . In our case these are very none informative - they don't give a clue to the persons name as it consists of random letters and digits. Is it possible to get it displayed as givenName , middleName , sn or something other more readable When hovering over a user in the team project permission dialog a tool tip displays some other field from AD that is of some help to us in that case. Something similar would be nice for the AssignedTo field. Regards Christer Yes, we recognize this is a problem for some organizations and a ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView leaks due to insuficent ToolTip cleanup

  We have a control in our application that derives from the DataGridView control. I've spent all day tracking down leaks in our app using the SciTech profiler. I believe that I have found a leak in the DataGridView that occurs through the internal DataGridViewToolTip class. When the grid is setup to use tooltips and the first one is activated the underlying ToolTip coomponent is created and part of that initialisation is to figure out what the top level control is and attached a handler for the ParentChanged event to that control. Later on when we dispose of our DataGridView derived control, we can the base class dispose method (i.e th ...Show All
