Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Virtualizing Wrap Panel?
I need to have a wrap panel for the ItemPanel with the virtualizing option. Why there is no virtualizing wrap panel. Do I need to create another View control for the ListView to show items one after the other or the wrap panel is the only solution without virtualizing Thanks I'm sure they'd love to provide an implementation of every panel in virutalizing form, but WPF is huge and they have to focus on delive ...Show All

Windows Forms Adding images to subitems in a listview control
Is it possible to add images to subitems in a listview control I have looked at using the stateimagelist, but this only applies to the item, and has only 2 states, checked or unchecked. I need to have different images for three subitems. Thanks, I just tried this method and found it to be very deficient. It's impressive until you put your mouse up to the listview only to find out that the item ...Show All
SQL Server Query Results Truncated in SSMS
I'm running a query in SSMS that returns a large result set. The query runs fine without error. However, in the results pane the query results are truncated. I've tried adjusting every option I can find. I think I'm running into a limit on the number of characters displayed in a column in the results pane. I've already bumped up the amount to the max (8192) setting i ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. issues installing DXSDK_Dec2005.EXE
Hi, I downloaded the SDK (december 2005) and I cannot install it. A window comes up saying: "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file." Well, my machine has 2Gb of ram and my swap is the same size so I think the file is corrupted. Can anyone send me a link to a zip file that has the SDK extracted or a link to an EXE that has been tested to work I have d ...Show All
Windows Forms Winform cold startup time in .Net 2
Having just moved to .Net2 and Visual Studio 2005 (release version), I'm porting my WinForms app to the new environment. I'm very concerned about cold startup time for a WinForms app. It's orders of magnitude slower than in 2003. I tried NGEN'ing the app. This made it start slightly faster but still a lot slower than the non-ngen'ed 2003 app. I realize that this will improve when more apps are built using the framework, but that's years o ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Is the Task Dialog modal within its parent window or systemwide?
Long story short: Currently there is no way to make a dialog modal with respect to only one window. IE: I want to be able to minimize MSWord even if it has a modal dialog popped up. Currently this is not possible. Every program when popping up a modal dialog completely hijacks the screen. The only way around this is the: 'Show Desktop' button. Mac OS X already does this. It has modal windows attached to parent windows only. In windows Vist ...Show All

Windows Forms Text does not appear on form load
Here is the problem. Certain controls don't display text. I will create a form in the IDE that has group boxes and combo boxes on it. The combo boxes only display text on the top line or the line that I select. When I click the dropdown, nothing else is displayed. As for the group boxes, the header displays, but any labels inside the text box don't display any text. They show up in the IDE, but not at runtime. I have a screen shot showing the ID ...Show All
