• Windows Forms Accessing overlapping forms in a mdi-app

  If Windows-B-form is in the foreground and Window-A-form  is in the background, the only way I can see to bring Window-A-form  to the foreground is to click on its title bar.  But in VB-6 apps, you could click anywhere on Window-A form  to bring it to the foreground.  Is there a way to do this in vb.net Thanks for any help. Suzanne Haig David: I think I have to do more research on this. In the process of slimming down my app in order to send it, I discovered the problem.  I have a collection of objects that keep info about open forms.  Before opening  a for ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual C++/CLI and DirectX

  Trying to get DirectX working with Visual C++/CLI in Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I've installed the .NET 2.0 SDK and the latest DirectX SDK and have setup up the directories for DirectX in Visual C++ 2005 Express... Tried looking at the DirectX Tutorials but everything in there is for C# as far as .NET goes. Any ideas how to get DirectX working with C++/CLI The managed DirectX framework is written in .NET, therefore can be used in any .NET language (for more information, google on ".NET interop"). Anyway, the sample tutorial you pointed out is for unmanaged DirectX (ie. DirectX progr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Differences in IDE and MSBuild for Web Project

  Hi, I've got a wierd one. I've got a Solution that contains a Web project and a DLL project. The web project references the DLL project and The DLL project references 3 thirdparty dlls. When I build from the IDE, The build copies all the dlls from the DLL's output (my dll and the three thirdparty dlls.) However, when I build from msbuild, It neglects to copy one of the dlls. It is always neglects the same dll and it never gets copied. I've tried debug and release configurations and it is the same thing. I'll post whatever anyone thinks is helpful. thanks, nathan You are right, this is the behavior in the RT ...Show All

  Does the new source control in Team System (using SQL server as the repository) have the Status search and Wildcard search like the old VSS had under View -> Search     I need to determine if anything is checked out in a particular tree (and if so, what, and by whom).   I used to be able to do this with the Status search in VSS but I can’t seem to find it in Visual Studio Team System.   :( Mike is correct.  When you run the command from within your workspace, however, you don't need the /s option.  I failed to mention that earlier.

• Visual FoxPro creating tables programmatically-some questions

  I have decided to create some tables programmatically since they most likely will be used temporarily. I do have a number of questions pertainint to CREATE TABLE paramaters. I could not find any explanations so far to figure out what they meant. First I assumed that CODEPAGE should be 1252 (Windows ANSI). Is it the right choice I want to create tables FROM ARRAY arrName I understand that arrName is a 2-dimensional array with the same number of rows as you've got fields Right The number of columns is 18 since CREATE TABLE command expects at least dummy values for some of the elements of  arrName . I got this idea from readin ...Show All
