• Visual Basic WINFORMS: Assigning values to binded controls (Now RE-EDIT with example)

  I have a parent (Quotation Header) form which opens a binded (Quotation Item) dialog form. When assigning values to boxes at runtime, (such as calculated weights) and when calling dataadapter.update, the data is not updated in the database.  If I force the assignment of the values using a currencymanager/datarowview at runtime, before calling dataadapter.update the values are stored OK in the database. The problem with this is the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Desktop build on build machine

  Rather than constantly checking out my tfsbuild.proj file, making changes, then, to test my changes, checking the file back in and kicking off a team build. I want to change the file directly on the build machine and run a desktop build to prove all my changes before checking the file out of source control... when I run msbuild tfsbuild.proj on the build machine I get the following error: Target CoreCompile:   C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Micro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Extending a DSL post-deployment

  I'm exploring the possbilities for allowing end users of my DSL to add metadata beyond what I know of when preparing the product. There are places where it would be useful for people to add metadata specific to their environment to the DSL. For example: say one end user's deployment environment is such that all decision points in a workflow can be resolved with reference to their proprietary or third-party rules engine. I can provide a DSL that ...Show All

  I've been working on smart indenting and autoformatting (and a more efficient way to do brace matching) and was wondering if there's any way to access the state information that is stored for every line as it's colored I've looked through the members of Colorizer, Source, IVsTextBuffer, and IVsTextLines but it seems like the actual line state's themselves are stored as private members of Source or some hidden object. I've pondered storing a Dict ...Show All
