  The uninstaller does not request to close my application before removing it.

  I have a number of DateTimePicker controls, some set to dates, some set to a format of Time. The controls are all embedded in dialogs.

• Windows Forms TreeView scrolling up

  I have a TreeView control that when expanded is way too big to fit on one screen vertically. I have coded drag drop stuff which works absolutely fine except for one small flaw. If I am dragging a node downwards, the TreeView scrolls down when I get to the bottom of its area to bring the stuff below into view. If I need to drag a node upwards then the same thing doesn't happen. This means that my users can't drop a node onto one which was above t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office KB 907417 & 908002

  Hi; Asking new because I think this got lost in the message it was a reply to... Just to confirm, if I have run the latest windows update and it shows no updates for Word, then the fixes in KB907417 should be on my machine - correct I have never run the fix in KB907417 and on my dev machine it has version 7.10.5077.0 but my test system, which shows no pending office updates, has 7.10.3191.0.

Dinos' demonstration provides a helpful solution to working with Sequential workflows; however, it left me a little confused with how to work with a State Machine workflow.
