• Visual Studio Sourcesafe 6.0 in VS2005 Professional

  I just installed VS2005 Professional and couldn't find SourceSafe on the installation disks. Searching here I find out that it is no longer included! I'm stunned. I'm a one person programming consultant and have always used VSS to make sure I can back out of changes and keep track of the evolution of my code. I don't need the rest of Team System (and can't afford it). And I can't afford the $500 or so to buy VSS 2005 separately. So, I am hoping that I could continue to use SourceSafe 6.0 with VS2005 Professional. When I go to Tools/Options/Source Control, the "Current source control plug in" only has "None" in it. Is ther ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox as a Column header in datagrid???

  Hi, Is there a way of having a 'Column header' as a dropdown list 'Combobox' in a Windows Forms DataGrid.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sequential Workflow Cancellation

  This question has appeared before but never with a clear answer. When would a SequentialWorkflowActivity execute its cancellation handler The SDK sample "CancelWorkflow" does indeed "cancel" the workflow by raising an exception, but this isn't a "cancel" in the sense that the cancellation handler runs. I have not been able to find a scenario where the cancellation handler runs, yet it seems emphasized by the designer. What am I missing Scott - a CancelHandler on a SequentialActivity gets fired when it is a child of a parent that is executing multiple children in parallel (ala the ParallelActivity) ...Show All

  Hey NG So, I don't know, if this is an bug of VS2005 or if I offers this problem I made a new control member. It belongs to System.Windows.Forms.TextBox.

• Visual C++ Visual C++ compiles much slower on dual core processor

  The Background:  I recently upgraded from a 2GHz AMD Athlon machine to a 3.2GHz Pentium D dual core processor, thinking that my Visual C++ (.NET 2003) compile times would decrease significantly.  In fact, it went the other way round.  One of my library projects requires 11 minutes to compile on the AMD machine, but takes 25 minutes on the dual core machine.  My entire set of projects compiles in about 4 hours on the AMD machine, but in 8.5 hours on the dual core.  The same slowdown occurs with the .NET 2002 version and VC6.  I am awaiting delivery of Visual Studio .NET 2005 (apparently Progra ...Show All
