• Windows Forms MouseUp Event onToolStripButton

  It seems to be unable to trigger the MouseUp event on ToolStripButton, unless the MouseDown was happened on that ToolStripButton too, but I noticed this isnt same as others controls, which they trigger the MouseUp event even the MouseDown wasnt happened on them. I am doing manual Drag & Drop, so anyone can give me some advice The background here is the concept of capture. ToolStripItem does not support capture. When you MouseDown on a control, the control sets Capture = true, which means all mouse messages go to it until someone else sets Capture = true OR the MouseUp handler is executed and Capture is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions error [weird]

  well i was about doing my everyday business when suddenly my C# common language (w/e that is) messes up, it doesnt support the font 'Arial' anymore, when i goto debug it'll say something like 'panel1 does not support font arial', changing the font fixes the problem Another problem this error causes is any other app written on C# that people have sent me does not work either, and i bet its for the same reason I repaired .net 2.0 using the installer but that still didnt fix the problem Just to let you know, i also didnt have the Italic setting on when writing this That is weird.

• Visual C++ Emacs Keybinding indentation problem

  I set the keybinding under Tools --> Options --> Environment --> Keyboard to include Emacs style. Now the indentation's are definetly incorrect, here is an example of how it thinks it should look: int main() { int i = 0; //This line is definetly indented wrong } That is definetly not right. Any advice Thanks, Halsafar Okay other problems with this and a minor fix: Home/End = Start of document and End of document which is not how I know Emacs to be. Should be simply end of line/start of line Minor fix: Turned off auto-brace indenting, now the braces ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Exception loading a window

  In opening the main window of an application I am getting an exception. This appears to be in deserializing the BAML for the window, and gives no clue on where the source of the issue is. If someone in MS could look at the stack trace and point in the right direction that would help. Declarative programming needs much beter diagnostics than procedural coding since I have no idea what part of the file is causing this. at System.Windows.TemplateNameScope.System.Windows.INameScope.RegisterName(String name, Object scopedElement) at System.Windows.Markup.BamlRecordReader.DoRegisterName(String name, Object element) at System.Windows.Markup.B ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Quality of Drawings Q

  Hello, I’m new in WPF, all my previous exp with drawings for Win is Win API, GDI+. I'm surprised by the quality of drawing in Avalon. Please note, I do it from my code: Ellipse es = new Ellipse(); es.Width = 20; es.Height = 20; es.Stroke = Brushes.Green; es.StrokeThikness = 0.5 MyPanel.Children.Add(es); What I got in result is a crappy GDI+ like pseudo circle... I sow some real nice examples of drawing with XAML (I can't use it by some reasons) - does that fact that I'm calling wpf from my code cause that, or I’m doing something wrong here Thanks.

  When I start a build on my teambuild server from VS.net I get the build progress page, I'd like to know if it's possible to display custom build steps in the "Build steps" list of this page.

• Visual Studio SQL Expression field with ACCESS database

  We just ported our Crystal Reports application from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2005.  We are using a MS Access database.  For the most part, everything seems to work as before, except the SQL Expressions no longer are considered valid.  The error message says that it is a Query Engine Error: DAO Error Code 0xc03.  Any ideas about what would cause this or how to get around it The database and tables have not changed.

• SQL Server How to generate a report containing multiple single page reports

  I am using SS 2005 RS. I am able to generate single page pdf reports by passing "id" as a parameter. Now I need to send multiple ids as parameter and generate one big report which would contain reports for all the ids supplied on separate pages. Is this possible If yes, then how do i do this. What I have tried so far is, I created new report with a list control and added single page report as a subreport to this list control and grouped this list control using id parameter. When i send multiple ids in the parameter, for example 3 ids, it generates 3 page report but only for the first id. So it generates report for the first id a ...Show All
