• Windows Forms Is there a better way to handle menuStrip Click Events ?

    Hi there, I am constructing menuStrips,toolStrip programatically and I was wondering if there was a better way to write my "OnMenuStripClickHandler"even reduce the code or get rid of the casting,may be just by getting the name of the sender or something like that.I saw somewhere done with "sourceControl" method but not sure now.    ToolStripMenuItem FileMenu()   {    ToolStripMenuItem tsmiFile = new ToolStripMenuItem("&File");    tsmiFile.DropDownOpening += FileOnDropDownOpening;        ToolStripMenuItem tsmiNew = new ToolStripMenuItem("&New"); ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual C++ 2005 compliance with The C++ Standard

  Despite a boat-load of documentation on Microsoft extensions to the C++ language, I have been unable to find a single page describing how VC++ 2005 differs from VC++ 2003 (7.1) with respect to the serious non-compliance issues that plagued users of VC++ 2003 (7.1). This document http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vclang/html/vclrfNonstandardBehavior.asp is available for Visual C++ 2003 (7.1). Does anyone know which, if any, of these non-compliance issues have been fixed in Visual C++ 2005 Is there an equivalent document for VC++ 2005 -- somewhere Something that says, in plain English, in what ways, if any, V ...Show All

• SQL Server CustomReportItem Installation

  Is there any documentation currently outlining how to make use of the CustomReportItem element or class   My thoughts on this are that it might act as a server control for an ASP.NET application.  Is that correct I want to be able to add some richer user interactivity to a couple reports that I'm currently authoring (i.e. checkboxes, buttons to access web service functionality, etc...) and I think that I might be able to make use of this class to provide that functionality since RDL doesn't seem to give any support for scripting in HTML entities into the report. Lastly, will support for installing custom report items be included i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I set and read a break condition on a serial port with FIFO?

  I am going to use a serial card - VSCom PCI200HV2 with its own driver and a 16C950 UART, which contains a 128 byte transmitter FIFO and a 128 x 11 bit receiver FIFO (data plus break and error conditions). Each telegram shall be terminated with a break condition, that is, an active low line for at least 10 bits. Unfortunately, System.IO.Ports and My namespace do not seem to have any possibility for controlling the FIFO, and it seems that System.IO.Ports uses its own buffer on top of the FIFO in the UART, so how do I know when to set the break condition I can read the number of bytes in the software buffer, but when this buffer is empty the ...Show All

• Windows Forms [Controls] PropertyGrid is slow
