• Visual Basic Visual Studio 2005 Standard vs Professional

• Visual FoxPro Pict Issue (VFP6)

  Okay, I'm working on a program that writes into a table (dbf) and another one that shows me it's content. Everything's working fine, except for this: @21,10 get pag font "Tahoma",12 pict "9999"   What I want it to do is to let me type 4 numbers and be able to display them in the other program. However, when I run the input program and write 4 numbers, the last one doesn't show and it skips to the next input field.  I know the input is working because I can see all the 4 numbers when browsing the table. This happens with other fields as well. Basically, what I want to do is to increase the input field size. All suggestion ...Show All

It always returns the original assembly name. (Which is a bit annoying, really). I have also tried: System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyNam ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...

  Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU. How to disable this updating of intellisense... Please this is making Visual studio unusable.

Or is there any other way to get the Class Hierarchy of whole project done in C#. Thanks Hi, there is no way to copy paste the class hierarchy, unless you use a Class Diagram and map out the classes. The other way would be to take a screen shot of the Object View from VS05 and paste it in Word. Of course if you use XML comments for your classes, then when compiled with the documentation switch an XML file is generated which has the compelete hierarchy. R ...Show All
