• Visual C# BackgroundImage in TreeView control

  How do you insert/change the BackgroundImage property of a TreeView control in C# 2005 Please let me know if you need further clarification on my problem, but I think it's pretty self-explanatory. While numerous reference documents state that using a BackgroundImage in a TreeView can be accomplished, I'm having no luck doing so through either directly setting this property like this: Tree2.BackgroundImage = imageList1.Images[1]; or through using get/set statements. public class myTreeView : TreeView { public override Image BackgroundImage { get ...Show All

• Visual Studio Creating a Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IDataObject for Toolbox

  Wonder if anyone can help me out with our little issue.  We have created our own IDataObject using the new interface available in 2.0 so that we can keep all our code in managed C#. We have created our IDataObject to contain our own data to be put as the Data item of a Toolbox item.  This all seems to work and shows up in the toolbox fine.  When our custom editor fires its "IsSupported(IDataObject)" method, our object is there and can be queried and works great. The problem lies when we want to drag the toolbox item onto our custom editor.  Whenever we drag our toolbox item over our custom editor the DragOver event is fir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System subscribe an event using the API

  Hi, Can any one please pass the code how to subscribe an event using the API. I couldnt find any example of this issue. Thanks in advance, Shmulik. The API you are looking for is in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server namespace in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common assembly. The interface that allows you to manipulate subscriptions is IEventService. You would do something like this: using System; using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client; using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Server; namespace SubscriptionTest { class Program { static void Main( string [] ar ...Show All

• Visual C# ienumerator and ienumerable, functionality of getenumerator

  I am trying to understand IEnumerator and IEnumerable. In the code snippet I am inserting below is the example of array list out of msdn. IEnumerator and IEnumerable both are being used in the code snippet. Here is the question....By definition an interface defines a contract. A class or struct that implements an interface must adhere to its contract. So any method in interface should have no implementation. Coming back to IEnumerable and IEnumerator in the below code snippet it is being used in the following way System.Collections.IEnumerator myEnumerator = myList.GetEnumerator(); GetEnumerator method is returning IEnumerator... ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating a Process and passing in a string?

  Hello, I am trying to use our 3rd party fax software FaxPress. It requires this line of text to be called during a command line. Our old VB 6 app is doing this but using a shell command. I was told this could be done using the Process class in C#. Here is what I have: /// <summary> /// Faxes attachments to destination /// </summary> /// <param name="output">Output directory for FaxPress</param> /// <param name="subject">Subject Line</param> /// <param name="faxPress">Fax system to use.

• SQL Server Multi-Parameter (Select All) Detection in SSRS 2005?

  I'd like to know if SSRS provides a way to determine if all rows are selected from a multi_valued parameter dropdown list I thought of how I could do this programmatically, but didn't want to build something that is already in the product (if it exists that is). Thanks. There is no built-in functionality, but here are some ideas: * if the multi value parameter has a pre-defined (constant) list of valid values, you know how many values are available for selection. The report parameters in RS 2005 expose a new property called .Count which tells you the count of selected parameter values (e.g. =Parameters! ...Show All

• .NET Development Single Instance of App only works when debugging (Mutex Problem) C++

  Hi, The following code works fine when debugging, only one instance of the application is started. However, when I build a release version of the code multiple instance of the app are allowed to run. ie MutexCreated is always returned as true.

• Visual Studio VS2003 +IE7 Beta2 crashes...

  With IE7 Beta2 installed on my machine, the help system crashes VS2003 frequently when the internal help option is used. DocExplorer crashes sometimes when used as an external viewer. Also, some entries lose all formatting and display as black text on a white background. Is anyone else having these problems I haven't tested this with VS2005. I could uninstall the IE7 beta but I'm hoping there is some way to force DocExplorer to use a different version of the WebBrowser control. Is there such a customization Thanks, Jeremy Boschen While I have not seen any crashes, I have definitely seen all the entr ...Show All
