• Windows Forms PrintPreviewControl Margins ignored ?

  Hi, Im using the printDialog control to print out images from a graphics application I am writing. I allow the user to set the margins and image size, which print out correctly. The problem is that when I view the printPreviewControl the image is located at the top-left of the page. It is sized correctly but appears to be just ignoring the margin settings. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong I am setting the defaultPa ...Show All

• Visual C# abstract/virtual events

  If you have an abstract base class which has an event that children may implement, and none of the base class methods connect or raise the event, then what's the difference between declaring that event as either abstract or virtual I can't find much of anything in the docs about abstract or virtual events. An abstract method declaration provides no actual implementation, there is no method body; the me ...Show All

  I'm stumped! I have an app which loads assemblies into a seperate app domain. it is written in 2.0. I have the assemblies I'm loading which were built in 1.1.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Hourglass flickering in Visual Web Developer

  I get this problem constantly while writing ASP.NET pages in VWD 2005 Express. When I first start the program and open some aspx pages up, the hourglass stays off as it should.

• Visual Basic Question on VBA, Excel, and a copying to a separate program

  I worked at a company before where an employee with a little bit of a programming background created a program that would copy information from Excel, cell by cell, and paste it into another program's window running beside Excel.  I 'think' he used VBA to do the prgramming, but I'm unsure and want to see if anyone agrees that VBA is capable of doing this.  Basically the program would copy a cell in Excel, alt-tab over to the other wind ...Show All
