• Visual Studio Consuming MSSCCI plugin - calling SccInitialize

  Hi I'm trying to write an editor (in C#) that would be able to connect to source control using MSSCCI, much like Visual Studio does. I've started by importing SccInitialize method from the VSS plugin C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssscc.dll. I can call SccGetVersion() and it works fine, but when I call SccInitialize, it returns -15 ( #define SCC_E_NONSPECIFICERROR -15). SccInitialize populates and returns lpSccName (puts "Source Safe" there) and lpAuxPathLabel (puts "Source Safe Database" there). Is there anything special I have to do to consume VSS plugin from my custom code Is there ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView/DataSource performance

  I am setting the DataSource to a DataGridControl that I am filling (in the Form1_Load method) from a List-derived object. This was working fine, but with more than a few 100 entries in the list it is now taking a long time for the form to show - several minutes with 0x250 entries. Is there anything I can do to speed this up   I don't understand why a hyper-threaded P4-3000 should need so much time!  Once the control is displayed performance is fine. Is there something I can do to reduce the work done by the control when attaching the data source   Or should I change data source from a list to something else Thanks, Chris ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Program Size / Memory Issues

  In trying to convert our software from eVC4 to VS2005, I have noticed that the size of the compiled code is larger for VS2005 compiled for WM5.0 Our software was close to not having enough application memory on a 2003 device and now I'm wondering if converting it to 2005 has pushed it over. Here are the current program sizes: Release version for 2003 : 4015 KB Dubug version for 2003 : 7886 KB Release version for 2005 : 5267 KB Debug version for 2005 : 11903 KB !!! Additionally, on a 2003 device the program loads 20 to 30 dlls. I cannot get either release or debug 2005 versions to run on a 2005 device, both ...Show All

• Visual Basic Refactor slow and not quite stable

  1. Opening VS2005 is slower, and opening a project is slower. No big deal, but if you start opening files before DXCore is finished loading, it hangs for quite a while. 2. Cursor movement is jerky, and somewhat annoying. This is on an AMD 3200+ w/GeForce6200. 3. Several times I accidentally hit both mouse buttons and/or keyboard keys, causing an IDE crash with loss of data. I mention this only FYI; these would not be big problems if I had found it useful (especially given that it is given.) The uninstall seemed to have worked. I will mention the IDE itself is very stable compared to Beta. Bravo! ---Mike ...Show All

• Architecture Why architecture with OO methods?

  OO methods provide a set of techniques for analyzing, decomposing, and modularizing software system architectures. In general, OO methods are characterized by structuring the system architecture on the basis of its objects (and classes of objects) rather than the actions it performs Main purpose of these design concepts is to manage software system complexity by improving software quality factors. This provides the following benefits Helps to focus on large-scale system design Separation of design concerns Can identify good domain-specific architectures Design abstraction Have a common language Managerial basi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Textbox redraw problems on ActionPane

  Hi We have a project that has a bunch of controls on an action pane including textboxes, comboboxes and custom controls. Everything works fine when we create a new document. If we save the document, close the document (without closing word), and then re-open the document then the textboxes and combo boxes on the action pane do not operate correctly. They do not respond to keyboard or mouse input and the backgound of the textboxes do not get redrawn (they show what ever was previously on the screen before the textbox). All other controls (including buttons, checkboxes, tabs and our own custom controls) respond perfectly normally. Once a ...Show All

• Windows Forms The v2 DatePicker doesn't support null databinding (bug?)

  The following code (which is a simple test windows form - visual studio team 2005 system beta 3 refresh) demonstrates what I believe is a bug in the DatePicker control. When a datepicker is bound to a binding source set to an object, properties of type DateTime that are null are not updated when the user (at runtime) changes the date. This is a real pain; and, frankly, makes the date picker useless to bind to database-derived datatables which could contain dbnull. Thank you in advance for your help. (also: why is it called datetime picker when it does not pick the time ) Correct. The DateTime picker does not support null ...Show All
