  Hello, I'm familiar with custom styles in ASP.NET development, but I was wondering how styles are applied in windows forms controls; I'm developing a custom controls that I want to provide styling for.  Do you use Style objects, or just expose the style properties directly Thanks.

• Visual Studio How to tell the RTD that a file is dirty

  I need a way to trigger the RTD to think a doc is dirty even though it hasn't be modified by a editor. Hi Bill, The IDE periodically checks if the document is dirty by calling IVsPersistDocData2::IsDocDataDirty(). If you return TRUE from the pfDirty argument, the IDE will display the document as being dirty. Alternatively, if you don't actually implement the DocData object in your scenario, you could try retrieving the IVsPersistDocData2 interface and calling SetDocDataDirty().

  Does anyone know where to get build 5303 symbols Alternatively, which build is well supported by the symbol server Thanks, Gary Symbols for the current CTP build (December CTP - build 5270) have apparently been uploaded to the public symbol server.

• Visual Basic problem with strcmp()

  I am trying to do a string compare on variables from 2 arrays: result = StrComp(colArray(z), CStr(the_array(0)(y))) the 1st colArray is declared as a string array the 2nd is declared as a variant array and so I am using cstr to cast it to a string For some reason even when the variables have the same value the strcomp function sees them as different.
