• .NET Development COM and .NET2 Interoperability

  Hi! I was started migrating project to Visual Studio 2005 and I discovered problem with iterating through collection from COM object.

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition

  Is Visual Source Safe 2005 included in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition I haven't been able to find information on this anywhere.  We are worried that we may have to purchase Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition and also purchase Visual Source Safe 2005.  Previously, we only had to purchase Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect which included Visual Source Safe 6. Any information will help. Thanks.  ...Show All

  We are running TFS Beta 3 Refresh, Single Server. We can attach files (pictures, txt files etc) to a bug or task but when we try to open an attachment Internet Explorer spawns and just sits there forever trying to access a page.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Replacement for TextFlow

  I have 5-10 pieces of flow content on the same page. It seems that the replacement for TextFlow is FlowDocument but in order to display it I have to embed each of them in a styled FlowDocumentReader (styled because I don't want the zoom and viewing mode controls). Is there any other solution It really depends on the length of the content pieces you are using and the scenarios you are trying to address. Generally we find they will fall ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP9: Customize toolbar margin, background picture, border, titlebar?

  I'm wondering if its possible to customize any of the following toolbar properties under VFP 9 Note that while none of these properties are exposed in the VFP 9 toolbar object, there may be alternative ways to acheive these goals via different techniques or through the use of Windows API calls in conjunction with a toolbars hWnd property. 1. margin (area between toolbar borders and child controls) 2. background picture (similar to the .Picture ...Show All

• Visual Basic ByVal DOESN'T work!!! REALLY!!! NO KIDDING!!!!!!!

  OK Here is my problem, I have a Generic.List(OF something) and I pass it BYVAL as an argument to a function. Inside the function I create a new instance of the list and I AddRange the argument to this "inside" list. And guess what, all changes made in the internal list, pass to the list behind the argument.
