• Windows Forms ToolStripControlHost designer usage

  I've created a class that extends ToolStripControlHost.  Is there a way to make it useable in the design view I'm hoping that I'll either be able to add it to the toolbox so I can drag a new instance onto a toolstrip, or that I'll be able to go it to show up in the toolstrip's "Items Collection Editor" dialog, inside of the &q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Moving to Studio 2005

  I am currently using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and building applications with the included crystal reports (which I believe is based on version 9). I am looking at upgrading to Visual Studio .NET 2005 but was wondering if they have included a new version of crystal reports or whether they are still using the same version included with 2003. If there is a new version, are there any benefits or new features in the new bundles crystal reports, as I haven't seen any details on the web about it. Any advice would be appreciated. The crystal reports components for both windows forms and asp.net are included in VS 20 ...Show All

  Does any know what what remapping an application means I believe you are talking about how applications are directed or mapped too versions of ASP.NET - specifically when there are multiple versions installed.  Check out this link and maybe this will help answer your question.... http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconmanagingmultipleversionsofaspnet.asp and http://winfx.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_aspnetcon/html/869b49da-7af7-4e63-ad95-4ef8874c063d.asp Hope this helps.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VstoSmartTags from a COM Add-In

  Hello Everyone, I had originaly asked Paul Stubbs for some help regarding my project because I didn't know about these forums and he referred me here. Simply put, I want to use C# and code an add-in for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (and maybe more when I get to it) that creates VstoSmartTags that match words based on a Regex that I provide. void wordapp_DocumentOpen(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document Doc) { Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document wordDoc = (Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document) Doc; } Obviously, this is psuedo-code to get across what I'm trying to do. It doesn't work. I created my project via the Extensibility temp ...Show All

• SQL Server Poison Messages - 5 times's a charm

  Hello again, I have some poison message detection in place, based on the BOL sample. My problem is that after the 5th message retry my queue goes down - that is the fifth retry on any message. In actuallity, the first message is retried 3 times and it is taken off the queue [for real], the second message comes in and on the second retry - pooof - the queue is down. I though the poison mechanism should work on a per message basis. It there a setting for the queue I missed Is my only chance for to fix this: re-enable the queue upon BROKER_QUEUE_DISABLED event notification Thanks, Lubomir If what you're looking for is a retry mechanis ...Show All

• Visual Basic I don't know how to describe this problem

  I have a tabcontrol that has tabs added to it when a menu item is clicked. Each of these tabs has their own set of controls. Each tab allows a file to be opened (via FileOpenDialog). When a file is opened, some of it's data is inserted into certain controls on the tab. Each tab has a button that is used to close the tab (using the Remove method). When the tab is closed and re-opened, the file is still loaded and the file's data is still present in it's respective controls. It might be useful to know that the file is stored as a byte array. (stored in b ) What I want is when I close a tab, then I re-open it, it is displayed as if no fi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Thread question (I think)

  I have an application that needs to import large numbers of records into SQL CE from a text file while not slowing down the user interface. It is acceptable to take some time to load those records, but it is not acceptable to show much lag in the interface. Currently, when I kick off my import function, the interface stops until the records are in. Granted, the records only take a few minutes, but I'd like to find a way to keep my interface active rather than have my users waiting. My question is, should I investigate threads for this or just come up with a way to import, say, 50 records at a time It's been a loooong time since I played wit ...Show All

  If it doesn't work don't put them on the site! I'm guessing here that you are using WF Beta 1 sample from www.windowsworkflow.net on a WF Beta 2 install. Not all of those samples are upgraded yet - they are marked on the site with the version. If I'm wrong please supply some more info. Cheers, Paul ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do you draw an association?

  It seems that you can only right click a protected or public data member and select "Show as Association". What about a private data member And what's the Toolbox association button for Whenever I click it and draw a (dotted) line between two classes nothing happens. I was able to show an association with a private field (I put a private integer member in a class and was able to use "Show as Association..."). To use the association line deselect everything in the designer, left click on the line tool and drag it from one shape to the other. The first shape will have the property, the ...Show All
