• Visual Studio Express Editions Subtraction of a decimal less then 1

  I am not sure if anyone else had this problem, if so please help... While writing a simple function that holds the equation: bVariable = 1 - aVariable   (where:  0 < aVariable < 1) Every so often a nasty little bug showed its head. I have used every number decleration (keeping both the same). My problem is that the code works, but the value calculated is wrong! When "aVariable" is equal to 0.94, the value calculated for "bVariable" becomes 0.060000000000000000000001 This calculation error only shows up when "aVariable" has the values: 0.94 or 0.97 It is just like the error in win 3 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Installed SQL components not listed on splash screen

  Hi, I installed SQL Server Dev first, then installed VS, but when VS loads, there are no SQL components listed on the splash screen, just VB, C# and VWD. A colleague installed the other way, and has some SQL components listed on the splash screen.  Can I get VS to 'refresh' this list I've since installed Reporting Services and that's not listed either... Thanks Mike devenv /setup will regenerate the splash screen. if you ran it, and you're still not seeing what you expect, then possibly something is wrong with the install of either sql or vs. if you really want these things on the splash screen, ...Show All

• Visual C# listening to keyboard

  ok i know how to know is shift+F6 key is pressed in my form but how do i do to capture key press from windows (when my form doesnt have focus) ex: i put my program in system tray and i start internet explorer, and in internet explorer i press SHIFT+F6 my form doesnt do anything.. how ca i set my form to do that When you form does not have focus, it does not recieve any events.

• Windows Forms Can't run ClickOnce

  I can't seem to run ClickOnce applications (or at least the ones I've created).  It seems AppLaunch keeps crashing when I try to run the ClickOnce app.  When I go to the directory that all the files are saved, and run the main app, it runs just fine.  Haven't tested any other ClickOnce apps, or had other people test mine yet, not sure the problem.

• Visual Studio Team System Beta 3 Refresh: Cannot add users from another (trusted) domain to team project.

  Hi! We have TFS Beta 3 Refresh running in our development domain (DEV). All our user accounts are living in a different domain (PROD), which is also in a different forrest. DEV is a native Windows 2003 domain, while PROD is a Windows 2000 domain. There is a one-way trust from DEV to PROD. When we try to add a user from PROD to a team project group such as Contributors, the following error message appears: Couldn't add user/group 'USERNAME'. It may be in an incorrect domain. Are we doing something wrong, or is this actually not a supported scenario The latter would be terrible; I think the need for adding users from multiple domains wi ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to cause bindingsource to goto new record via code

  When you create a detail view via Data Sources, you get a navigation strip that contains a New Record button.  When the button is clicked, the binding source creates a new record in the datatable and moves focus to that record.  That works great, but I cannot figure out what code is executed to make that happen. I would like to move to a new record based on the click of a button on my form.  What code do I run to make the binding source move to a new record   Both the Add() and AddNew() events fire when the new record is created, but What event do I need to fire to initiate the new record Thanks for you help.
