• Visual C# PropertyGrid Sub Items

  I'm able to remove (or hide) some properties from the PropertyGrid, but what I'm looking to do is hide sub items of a property like Font.  In the Font property there are items like CgiCharSet that I don't want exposed...how can I hide it   I'm currently taking the existing collection and filtering out items I don't want but this only seems to expose the top level properties. Hi, strangely this is exactly a case I am featuring in my sample app of Smart PropertyGrid. You can have a look at http://www.propertygrid.net. Best regards Nicolas Cadilhac VisualHint ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there still no way to reference a member overloads topic with CREF?

  In XML Doc comments, there are many times that I would like to reference (using cref) a type member's overloads page instead of any specific overload. Something like <see cref="System.Console.WriteLine(*)"/> is what I would expect. Is there still no way to do this in C# 2.0 In previous versions of C#, I used to use <see cref="System.Console.WriteLine"/>. This still appears to work, however, now the C# 2.0 compiler warns with the following: Ambiguous reference in cref attribute: 'System.Console.WriteLine'. Assuming 'System.Console.WriteLine()', but could have also matche ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I Install the .net framework 1.1 onto a removeable drive

  Hi I have written an application on a standard desktop using Vb.net 2003 running under XP Pro SP2.  I am trying to install the application onto an embedded Pc which uses a Compact Flash drive (4 GB Microdrive) as the boot C drive (running same XP Pro SP2).

• Visual Studio Team System Failed to merge the code coverage result of dll

  Hi all, I run the same dll on two computers. When I try to merge the code coverage results of the two run, it always fails. All the results turn to be zero.

But if you merge two original coverage files (with .coverage extension), there will be an error pop up. Thank you very much for your suggestion! Thanks, Christine ...Show All

• Visual Basic Crazy IDE

  Hi All, Just after started to add controls to this new Tabbed app, the IDE shows the move cursor (the crossed arrows) and just flashes the cursor until I go into the taskman and return...It's scary to think a whole nights work could be undone by a misbehaving IDE. Have any of you experienced this odd behavior This has also happened in other apps in W2K, and XP Pro as well. Thanks All! Elgee I have seen something like this before. When it occured I just needed to click off the Visual Studio and onto another application and then click to come back to Visual Studio. This made the problem go away. It was ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic type loading

  I'm trying to dynamically load types from a dll and pass the newly created objects through WCF. Is there any way to do this Dynamically load data contracts KnownType attribute I suppose the main issue is the actual method call itself. Since the type isn't known at compile time, I've been using Object, but testing reveals that specifying "Object" then passing a type with a data contract still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated! Followup: I've done some testing, and it looks like the big problem is deserialization on the receiving side. I need to somehow know the type of the object to loa ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows CE Remote Performance Monitor Crash

  I am working on CF 1.0 and trying to find a memory leak on my application. I am using Windows CE Remote Performance Monitor. When I select to monitor only "Memory Load", it works fine. But when I try to watch "CE Process Statistics" with an instance of my application, it halts not only itself but also the application running on the device. Is there any strategy I could get over with it, or any tool that can help to diagnose the problematic section (PDA runs with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition) I am afraid that this code (Remote Perfmon) isn't being actively supported at this time and hasn't been changed in years. It is due for a r ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [Newbie] How to terminate a workflow from within an activity?

  I have a composite activity (custom class derived off of Sequence) that has a listen + couple of event sinks along with few other things. This acitivity is included in a workflow.

Alternatively you could use an IfElse with a condition to choose to execute the Terminate activity. Regards ...Show All
