• Visual Studio Replace a ProjectItem with another with the same name via DTE

  Hi! I'm having another little problem with DTE... I'm using GAT (Guidance Automation) to execute some code when a project template is completely unfolded. In my project template, there is a link item (a file that appears in the project but that isn't in the directory) but because of some GAT/Project unfolding mixup, the link is not pointing at the right place. I'm attempting to solve the problem via DTE after everything is unfolded. Here's what I do : - Find the containing project - Find the ProjectItem that is the bad link - Use Remove() and Delete() on the ProjectItem to get it out of there - Then use the containing project's .Proj ...Show All

• Windows Forms Shutdown mode

  I'm lost, I'm using Visual C# 2005 express edition and I can't find shutdown mode so i could change it to When last form closes. I went on My Project properties - Application tab and couldn't find it. I wasn't able to find it in any tab. Could please someone help me, thank you in advance.

I rewrote a sample to run as long as a menu attached to a notifyicon didn't receive to exit the application. http://forum ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions New to C

  Hello. I was interested in programming in C and of course I bought a book. However the book is a little outdated, so they describe how to use the tools such as the compiler, etc. They teach you how to compile and link everything with Borland and Microsoft Visual C++. This book is C For Dummies, printed in '96. I downloaded Visual C++ and it has WAY more features than the one in the book has. I'm lost. Starting out he teaches you to do the usual "Hello world!" script, I started a new project, created a C file, typed in the code, saved it and... How do I compile I tried the Visual Studio command prompt, placed the C file where they told me ...Show All

• .NET Development IStream.Read documentation

  The msdn documentation for IStream.Read says the following about the pv parameter: When this method returns, contains the data read from the stream. This parameter is passed uninitialized. What does uninitialized mean here As far as I can tell this method does not work as expected unless pv is a byte array with length equal to the cb argument. If I use the interface from C# it wont even compile if I leave pv uninitialized. Instantiation is slightly different than initialization. You instantiate a variable when you create it using new or by simply using a declaration statement. However the initial v ...Show All
