• Visual Studio Express Editions 'System.EventArgs' is a 'type' but is used like a 'variable'

  Whats wrong with my code below Can you correct it private void txtusername_TextChanged( object sender, EventArgs e) { if (EventArgs (e) == Keys .Enter) this .txtpassword.Focus(); } } Try the KeyPressed Event and it will work fine. private void txtusername_KeyPress( object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyChar == ( char )Keys.Enter) { Console.Write("a"); } } Let me know if this is helpful. ...Show All

• Visual J# Any good Add-Ins for VS 2005/J#?

  Hi; In the java world I use IntelliJ and in the C# world I use Visual Studio wit ReSharper & nunitaddin. Is there anything like this for VS 2005/J# ReSharper flat-out does not work with J# (they officially don't support it and most of it's features are turned off in J#). And nunitaddin does not understand J# (for a main()) or junit. And Visual Studio doesn't come close to having the features found in ReSharper & nunitaddin. Anythinf out there I feel like I'm back in the dark ages of IDEs. thanks - dave Hi Dave, If you drop me a line through my blog (http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/contact.aspx), I'll see what I can do about a ...Show All

• Windows Forms After running application (F5) Controls disappear from designer, now invisible

  I wish I could post my entire form on here for inspection. Anyway I will try to explain the best I can on what is happening. I developed this application using VS 2003. I have a form with a tab page with 5 pages on it, on each page I have a few controls including TextBoxes and NumericUpDowns that are binded to a DataView on my form from a method called from my constructor. My NumericUpDown controls are set to display tenths and have an increment of 0.1. In .NET 1.0 I had an issue that the value would not be validated correctly when I clicked off the control. For example.. I type in 15 as the value (at runtime). I click off ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bending the DataGridView...

  Hi, I'd like to extend the DataGridView a little bit to basically look like this: http://kingvest.de/dgv.png However, I'm stuck at one point: How can I do the month aggregation as shown Pretty important is the visual aspect of it. So it should be centered and not on the left hand side like the DataGrid does to show several tables. I think what's probably best is to do a custom aggregation in one table rather than actually using multiple tables. So I could give one of the Month rows a specific style and use an owner drawn button for the expanding. Please let me know if that is the way to go or if there is any better solution. Thanks, Tom ...Show All

  Actually, it appears to be hung before the request is sent, because the Request Detail window says "Request not yet submitted". I've got a webtest where, on a specific page, it always "hangs" while executing...  The main Test Progress window shows "Submitting" under the HTTPStatus column, and it stays this way for at least 4 or 5 minutes.  Test Results pane shows the test as "In Progress".  If I try to start the test again, I can't:  "The test could not be run because of the following exception: Cannot start more than one local run."  (The app is responsive, so it's not exactly "hung" but the test In Progress is n ...Show All
