• Visual Studio Express Editions ListView sorting question

  Hi I have a ListView control called HSlist on a form which has 3 columns. The adding data seems to work OK, but the sorting is weird to say the least. Initially, I thought that the list would be sorted on the contents in the first column, so I added to the ListView with the Item containing the data that I wanted the list to be sorted on (numerical). Then I found that the list was being sorted on the second column (strings), so I swapped the adding routine so that the numerical data was now in the second column - the list now was being sorted on the first column (strings). What I want, is either to be able to dictate which column the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Excluding tests in test list

  I have some code with some 1500 unit tests, however approximately 50 of those tests fail when I select 'all tests list' in the test manager. I now want to create my own test list which includes all but the unit tests that fail (because these are legitimate failures at this stage in our development). Is there an easy way I can do this other than dragging and dropping all the entries in the 'all tests list' into my own cutom test list and then deselecting the 50 or so that failed by cross referencing against the failure list in the bottom pane By default the oder of running tests is not defined and setting Pr ...Show All

• SQL Server Scripting Objects: Two Questions

  With my efforts to try and Source Control our database objects, I have run into a few quirks with scripting. For both of these question I went through the Generate Script Wizard: Right Click on Database->Generate Script Via Managmenet counsole running on the September CTP (company waiting for the new year to purchase the released versions) Anway: 1) Why can't I run the Generate Script on a database that is set to 7.0 compatibility level   We have our core database that has to remain at 7.0 compatibility level do to some coding in our Access 97 applications that reference it.  I can flip it to 9.0 level, and the sc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Select worksheet explicitly

  I currently have an excel vsto solution that has an action pane consisting of link labels. There is code behind the link label click event to select a particular range in the worksheet. When you click the link label, it selects the range on the worksheet correctly, but if I start typing immediately, I realize the focus is on the action pane, not on the excel worksheet. Is there a method in excel that will explicitly pass the focus to the worksheet range This may not be the "preferred" method, but it works. In your link label click event, after you select the desired range, add the following code: ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MC2 Editor

  I can not see the MC2 Editor being part of the XNA project. When I build/rebuild MC2 the editor files are not updated. What do I do wrong or How can I make changes and updates to the MC2 editor Correct, the editor project is not part of the XNA build projects because Visual C++ Express cannot build them as they require MFC. If you have Visual Studio Standard or Professional you can build the project with no problems. In the Source\Editor folder you will find the projects for building the editor code. Compile both of these: EditorMFC.vcproj and Editores.vcproj and you should be set. Thanks! ...Show All

• .NET Development Dual Field Primary Key

  Using the VS2005 IDE I created a SQL Database with a single table.  The table has a primary key made up from two fields neither of which is autoincrementing.  Both fields are int's.  The first is named 'Cert' and the second is named 'QtrRef'.  SQL did not complain when I did this.  I then used the Dataset Wizard to create a dataset.  Everything seemed to work fine except that the autogenerated FIND method in the dataset is called 'FindCert' and only takes a single arguement.  I looked through the autogenerated dataset code and can find no evidence that the wizard picked up any reference to the second p ...Show All

• Windows Forms Help stored in database, not file - how can HelpProvider be leveraged?

  We have an app that has the help (HTML format) stored in a database rather than a help file. Can HelpProvider be used, or extended to use, ADO.NET or a Web service, to display help that's not stored in a file That's the direction I expected to go, but I don't know which methods I'd have to override, and haven't had time to analyze the component itself for clues. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Which version to install?

  I have two installation sources with me 1. Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions 2. Visual Studio 2005 Full I know the full version has more functionality etc... But I want to know whether having both the Express Editions and the full version installed side by side will create any problems I already have Express Editions installed and now, should I remove them and install the full version or is it OK to leave them while I install the full version I also have a CD named Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta 2. I want to know which one is the latest - this, or the one included with the Express Editions pack I would install the full rele ...Show All

• Visual C++ Build Warning window displayed incorrectly (too small, buttons aren't visible)

  When using the profile-guided optimization in a multiple-project solution, if I try to run the main program optimized without building the other libraries, a build warning occurs. This is correct, of course, the environment is asking me if I want to rebuild also the libraries the main is depending from, but the window is too small and it's very difficult to read the buttons (just a couple of pixels are visible).

• Windows Forms memory consumption and windows forms

  Hi all, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and .NET framework 2.0. I have a windows form application in which I load a form that has a dynamic user control array. I may have hundreds of instances of my user control on the form depending on the user. The control is a simple array of text boxes but when I have hundreds of instances it uses several megabytes of memory, up to 20 MB depending on the number of instances. In the task manager, I've noted that when the form loads, the memory being used by the process for my app increases. But when I close the form, the memorty is not released. I'm disposing the form and everything that I can think of ...Show All
