• Windows Forms Setup Project Dependencies

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could confirm the following behaviour. To a VS 2005 setup project, you add the project output for 2 separate projects. Both of these projects has a dependency on the same assembly. So you exclude one of the dependencies that appears in the file system window.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) visual layer programming

  I found one thread, from last month, that talks about how to work with 'visuals'. At the end of the thread, somebody suggests subclassing UIElement and then, inside this class,using VisualOperations.GetChildren(this) to access the 'children' visuals of the UIElement. It looks like VisualOperations has since joined the choir invisible* (VisualOperations replaced by VisualTreeHelper) , so does anyone know how to access the 'visuals' of a UIEleme ...Show All

• Visual C++ Prevent linking MSVCR80.dll

  I recently started developing a dll for the company I work for with VS2005 Beta 2. Unfortunately, upon building the dll we found that it doesn't run except on my machine because it depended on  MSVCP80.dll. Googling for answers uncovered the suggestion of statically linking, which removed the dependency on  MSVCP80.dll but retained dependency on  MSVCR80.dll.
