• Windows Forms set main form icon right to left

  Hi, i want set main form icon from right side of form how can do it Hi, I think that you can't using the windows form (unless there is a hidden property that I am not aware of or RightToLeft is enough for you). The reason is that you are using a control that already renders the icon on the left side, and unless the designer of that control provides you with an option to change the icon you can not alter its behaviour. The ways to find an alternative that I can imagine at the moment are quite complex and will require a lot of work, but here are some ideas.      If the RightToLeft is not enoug ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing a running program's ram

• Visual C++ Frequent IDE freezing

  When working on a large C++ project the IDE frequently (approx once every half hour) freezes. It's been doing it since I started working on it when it was released, but I was never able to find a specific cause that triggers the problem but it seems to be related to browse information and/or intellisense. It happens more frequently when editing .h files that are #included by a large number of source files. The IDE freezes, the cpu stays at 100% (50% on an hyperthreading cpu). After a few minutes I usually kill the process. I've tried disabling the 2 Statement completion options in the Options/Text Editor/C++ dialog box but it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Future of FxCop

  I was recently at a MS sponsored event where one of the reps mentioned that they did not know if FxCop was going to be available once VS2005 was released because it would then only be available via VS2005 Developer Edition.  Is there any basis to that claim   I notice that the site still does not have a production release compatible with .NET2.0.  Can someone please let me know what is the future plan for FxCop and when a production release will be available Thanks Rich As an example, VS contains a small set of analysis checks we refer to as 'Maintainability' rules. These are checks against c ...Show All

  That affects only interface design... so that it doesn't exists at all in a SSIS. What is it for Let me know your view on this or any clarification. I'd say it is compulsory, since you cannot remove it. Why that is I am not sure, probably a limitation of VSA, the slightly quirky host environment used.

• Visual Studio Team System How to skip a request in a Web test's GetRequestEnumerator method

  Given the style of yield return used in GetRequestEnumerator, can someone give me an example of how I could skip one or more requests if certain conditions are present For example, say I have request1, request2, ..., requestN. After request2 is executed, say there is a value of 2 in Context["skipValue"]. How would I then cause request3 and request4 to be skipped and execution of the iteration to resume with request5 Thanks. Regards, Mountain There are a few ways to do this.  You could just add if statements around the requests which may be skipped that check for the existence of the key ...Show All

  Hi, I'm trying to exit from an application if an exception occurs, but for some reason neither Me.Close not Application.Exit appear to be doing anything. I even tried ExitThread, which I am a bit wary of without doing a bit more reading up on.
