Or wait for new CTP Thanks! Hi: I downloaded the MSF for CMMI Process Improvement as expected today, July 8, 2005.  God work!  Thank You! Next, when can we get the process ...Show All

• Visual Basic Data Sources Toolbox functionality reversed

  When I am looking at a code window all of my data sources are visible in the data sources toolbox. When I am looking at a form, the toolbox is empty and greyed out and no options can be accessed. This is exactly opposite from how it worked in beta 1, 2 and RC1. Anyone know what the deal is with this As of right now I cannot drag/drop a table onto a form because all the tables are hidden when I am looking at a form. Thanks, Josh ...Show All

• SQL Server Disabling Product Feedback on en masse deployment?

  Hello. After installing SQL 2005 Enterprise (MSDN-version), I was greeted with Product Feedback pop-ups on opening SSMS. I'm all about product feedback (hence why I'm here), but before I deploy a final/non-MSDN version to lots of users, I was wondering - if this also occurs with the non-MSDN version - if there is a way to pre-disable the feedback options I assume you're referring to the Watson and SQM m ...Show All

• Visual C# Performance Counter Question

Below is part of the config file. Anyone have a suggestion. Thanks in advance. This returns only the fir ...Show All

• Windows Forms Pencil glyph not displayed when row dirty

  When editing a cell on a DataGridView, the pencil glyph is shown only as long as the focus remains in the cell being edited. It disappears when moving to another cell in the same row. This is inconsistent with what described in the reference documentation that states that the propery IsCurrentRowDirty " returns true when the pencil glyph is displayed in the row". Even worse, this goes against normal user expectations leading to belie ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Reading and Writing ListView's to file, with a twist

  Hi, I need to be able to save the contents of a listview (with a single subitem in each item, which has multi-line text) to a file and then be able to read it back into the listview. I tried the basic approach, which led to incorrect reading, since the subitems contained multiple lines and my code treat any one of those lines as a subitems text rather than treating all the lines as the text (no simple way of knowing where my subitem text began a ...Show All
