• Smart Device Development Form Design View

  Hey everyone, Something has happened to my Smart Device project, but I am not sure what.  Now when I open the project and double-click on the form, only the script file opens.  I can't get the design view to open for the form.  It will still deploy in debug mode.  Does anyone know what this means Thanks I have a feeling that this might be a known issue. Could you answer these 2 questions - Is it a Device v1 app (which uses .Net Compact Framework v1.0) - Does right clicking on the form in the solution explorer give you a 'View Designer' option Thanks, Sriram Krishnan PM, VSD ...Show All

• Windows Forms Selecting blocks of cells - determining topleft/bottom right + restricting to contiguous

  Mark, good work, thanks, got me up and running very quickly. Any ideas on restricting the selected cells to a contiguous block. If they are not a contiguous block I can enumerate SelectedCells and equate Selected to false then equate CurrentCell.selected to true. What I need is the test for whether the selection is contiguous - ie all connected together. The simple test is if GetCellCount / 2 is an integer or GetCellCount = 1. However, theres a couple of other conditions like if all the selected cells are in one row  or all selected cells in one column. Just wondering if there's an easy way Related qu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System 'Display Name' changes in Active Directory breaking WorkItems

  A user in my company recently changed his 'Display Name' in Active Directory and now we can't edit any work item activated by him before the name change.

• SQL Server SQL Server upgrade from 7 to 2005

  I have a client that is thinking about moving from SQL Server 7 to 2005. The Some of the applications are old so we are thinking about setting the compatibility level to 70 and test to see if the applications will work.
