• Smart Device Development Notification control hanging (but likely not an Invoke freezeup)

  Been fighting this one for several days ... .Net 2.0, VS2005, CF, PocketPC Phone app. I have an asynchronous message stream from an Ipworks component in the module that fires a notification control on the splash form. I use Invoke at the time I call the control method and the control does display. However, when I click on the URL within the notification, the UI freezes -- and I do not receive a ResponseSubmitted event. If I click on the Hide softkey, the notification goes away as it should and the UI does not freeze. As part of testing this, I have called the notification control from the splash form without any calls to and from th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions referring to group boxes using a variable

  Is it possible to refer to a group box by using a string containing the name of the group box I have a number of group boxes which I want to do list of things to.

• Visual Basic Data appearing when should be blank till user inputs

  Hi guys, Back again once again.... I have a VB.NET front end, which is linked to a access database table (2003) using Jet 4.0 The data is all there, and works correctly, The problem is, when I click on ADD new record, any fields that have a DATE input, all insert current date. ( Also check box fields appear all filled in ) These fields need leaving blank until the user inputs a date, as some of them relate to future delivery dates. Sorry if this isn`t technical, not sure how to describe but I think that is it basically. The question is; How can I stop the DATE data apprearing, when it should just be a NULL ( Access Term ) field until ...Show All

• SQL Server Grouping question

  I have a report that is actually going to be printed on NCR (carbon) paper to be written on. On this report I have a table that displays items from five different groups plus adds blanks for written entries. The data displays correctly under each group along with the extra spaces for written data, however what I need to know is how to "force" a group that does not have any items. Is there a way to do this Thanks for any information. If you don't have any items of a group your resultset doesn't contain the group and I think its not possible to add it afterwards, so you have to change your SQL- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System project import/export?

  Is there a way to extract a project and related data from one Team Foundation Server and import into a different TFS If not, what is the best way to migrate a project from one server to another We're growing our server environment and need to move some projects around. There's no support for moving a project between Team Foundation servers. The simplest approach would be to get the source on disk, and load the work items in Excel, and then load those in a new project on the new server. You'll lose history, links and attachments, and you'll probably have to do some prep work, like setting up your Areas and Iterations to match the ...Show All

• Visual Studio More details on VSL

  The Visual Studio Library (VSL) is a new addition to the Visual Studio SDK 2005-10 (VS SDK), and was not previously available in the VSIP SDK.   VSL is a C++ source library, primarily targeting the Visual Studio Platform, which extends the Active Template Library (ATL).  A Power Point presentation given at the VSIP dev lab can be be found here .   Thus far the contents of VSL have been solely driven by the needs of the four new C++ reference samples included in the VS SDK, so many classes are not as fully featured as is possible.   Content will continue to be added to VSL, as needed by the C++ samples; howeve ...Show All

• Visual J# J# MSPress "Build a Program Now" and J# Express edition Forum

  Hi everyone, Anyone know if there is an MSPress "J# 2005 Build a Program Now" book coming out in the not too distant future. The VB and C# books are wonderful for beginners and they have the program CD along with SQL express included for about $16. Very thoughtful of Microsoft and they should be congratulated for making it easier for folks to begin to convert over from Java taught in most lower level college classes. Also anybody know if there will be a similar J# Express forum choice to use on the MSDN forums, like there is the C# and VB Express forums John Van Kirk Hi, I am not su ...Show All
