• Visual Studio ToolboxItem attribute not honored by AutoToolboxService in VS 2005

  The service that automatically creates toolbox items is not using the correct class: it ignores the ToolboxItemAttribute on the component that specifies which ToolboxItem-derived class to use, and instead creates a ToolboxManagerToolboxItem. The result is a bunch of unusable Toolbox items. We have already logic to populate the toolbox with a correct ToolboxItem whenever the designed class is opened in our graphical root designer. So we h ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I tell which CTP I have?

  I received SQL Server 2005 CTP in my June MSDN shipment. But it seems to be missing specific functionality that I would expect in the latest June CTP.

• Visual C++ Scroll limitation issue

  hi, I have recently taken over the a project for someone, one of the issues we have come across is that you cant view an entire document, in a window with scroll bars if its really big.  I track this problem down to the ranges on the scroll bars.  Once the range of the scroll bar exceeds 32000 pixels, it is set, by my ex-colleague back to 32000.  So when you view a document, depending on the zoom factor you may only see a fractio ...Show All
