• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Anybody managed to find a workaround for the "Black Window" bug in the Nov CTP?

  I think I'll create this post as a checkpoint where people can post any info on this bug. For a background, some of us using the November CTP for WPF and either Visual Studio 2005 or C# Express, are experiencing a black window when running the simplest of WPF apps (i.e an app that does nothing but window.Show()). Other people experience it intermitently in XamlPad itself. A few links to the problem... [1] [2] Apparently the January 2006 CTP contains the same bits for WPF (Avalon) as the December 2006 CTP, so the same bug will be present. The Microsoft product feedback centre states that the fix will be ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I control navigation in datagridview. ie to go sideways on <enter>

  When the user presses enter in a cell for a certain column I want to sent the next cell to the next column, like doing a <tab> instead of going to the next row. I have used the keypress event, but this is not fired if the user is in edit mode and presses enter.

• Windows Forms Scrollable control vs panel

  Does it realy make a diff (performance,memory) when inherit from scrolablecontrol in stead of panel. just curious Remco There is no performance penalty for inheritance irrelevant of the depth of the hierarchy except when you are dealing with virtual members.  In this case there is an extra lookup that occurs to find the right method at runtime but again it is a single lookup (the method table is consolidated into a single lookup table when the type is loaded) and therefore is independent of the size of the hierarchy.  At least this is the way that I remember C# and .NET working.  C++ on the oth ...Show All
