• Visual FoxPro _screen.ContinuousScroll problem

  I noticed this problem just this morning after spending many hundred hours debugging my app for the past few months when everything worked just fine. This is the setup which is hardly unusual. There is a function in a prg file and a Click method that calls it. There are a couple of print statements like: "coimng out of the function: "+numeric_id and such in the function(s) and one in the Click method. All output is character s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Supported projects

  I'm doing a brown bag on MSBuild in a week or so and I wanted to make sure I had this info right.  VS uses MSBuild for C#, VB and J# (I never install this so I'm not sure) projects.  SLN files aren't MSBuild files but MSBuild can parse them and build the SLN as long as it only contains projects of type: C#, VB, C++ and J#   C++ works because MSBuild just invokes VCBuild on the C++ project file.  Running MSBuild on a SLN file ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How To View InfoPath Form

  I am using the InfoPath Form Template for InfoPath 2007 in VSTS 2005. I built a form in this project and when I start the debuger I can see the form OK.

• Visual Basic How Can I Access Other Open Application Windows?

  I am trying to write a program that interacts with another third party application window. They do not expose an API that I can use, so I have to hack my way through it. The sad thing is I have actually done this in the past (I had to process a large number of cases, so I wrote a routine that pulled case numbers from an open excel window, and then closed them out in this third party application). I just can't remember how I accessed and disc ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CorrelationParameter data types

  Is the CorrelationParameter limited to simple data types or can it handle complex types As an example, could I use e.g. an object[] parameter type to simulate a correlation set Or at a second thought as I just write this... if it uses something like IComparable for the comparision, could I implement an own collection that does a "smart" comparision and that I use as a correlation parameter - Guess the basic question is: What are ...Show All

• Visual Studio Printing without the ReportViewer

  In a Win Forms app, is it possible to print a report without using the ReportViewer control I want to provide a print button on a Form (like Outlook does) and then use an embedded Report to print the data so I don't really need the ReportViewer. I would want to display the PrinterDialog though and use the settings from here to control the printed Report. Is this possible too Regards Graham 3x for your rep ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need a little help with MSF for CMMI

  I'm in doubt about Create a Scenario worksetream. It isn't present at any track of this release, so, I'm assuming it should run at Planning (am I right ). If this is true, it should be right before Plan Project becouse it's results are the entry criterias for that. So, if the Create a Scenario is right at the begining of an iteraction, Plan Project should be within that iteraction too, right But I can't see that as a repetitive task, it's p ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) render points in 3D?

  Is this possible I've seen that Model3D has only GeometryModel3D and ScreenSpaceLines3D as derived classes. No, those are the only two 3D primitives we have. However you could draw small GeometryModel3D quads (or cubes or spheres) to simulate points. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Who should use ClickOnce?

  I have been testing the ClickOnce technology for weeks now, and I am continually asking myself the question: "In what way is ClickOnce designed to be used " Using VS 2005, or the Mage SDK tools requires the developer to know the application URL ahead of time. This is not feasible if you normally vend your software to a business or organization that will then distribute it to their workstations via their choice of web servers, file servers, etc. ...Show All

• SQL Server How versatile are Object variables?

  I want to store a recordset in an Object variable. I will be constantly appending records to and deleting records from this recordset during runtime. More specifically, I want to append a record each time a container (including TaskHost container) starts to execute. When each container finishes executing I want to remove that record. Basically its a stack isn't it Fundamentally I just need to know if this is possible before I waste ti ...Show All
