• Visual Studio Team System CA1823 False Positive

  It's easy to see why this false positive occurs, but it's still annoying! Consider the following code (from a plain-vanilla console app): This false positive turns up a lot. It's interesting how many const strings out that are used exclusively as a substring within another pattern. 8) We will either clear up this noise or disable the check in the next (post 1.35) update. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the report. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Can you have a maskedtextbox data entry go from right to left?

  Can you have a maskedtextbox go from right to left I can get a normal textbox to allow data entry right to left but I can not get a masked textbox to work this way. I have a five character database field that I need to be populated in this fashion in order to get a match that I am looking for. ex... when a user types in 3 charcters lets say "222" it will store it that way. I want it to store " 222" notice the to leading blank spaces.

• Visual Basic A Modest Proposal for Microsoft

  I've been a Basic programmer for over 30 years and that whole time I've endured the constant reminder that I'm not a "real" programmer. I know better and you know better but still there's that stigma associated with being a Visual Basic programmer vs. being a C++ or a C# programmer. Now that I use VB.Net it really couldn't be further from the truth since VB.Net does everything any contemporary OOP language does. So here's my suggestion, since Visual Basic.Net is about as much like Visual Basic as C# is like C, why not change the name of Visual Basic.net to B# Now instead of being a VB programmer, I'm a B# programmer.

• SQL Server AS2005 - MDX Debugger

  OK - I am quite sure that I have heard there is some kind of MDX Debugger in AS 2005, but I can't seem to find it. Also, I am unable to find any documentation on how to use it (if I could find it). Can anybody help Only BOL reference I saw so far to the MDX Script Debugger was in AS 2005 Tutorial - Lesson 6.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiling C++ code

  Hey howzit I downloaded source code from this artcle: http://www.codeproject.com/internet/SendTo.asp I am not sure if its C++ code or C++.NET code but I have no idea how to even begin to compile it, but I really need to see how it works. I have opened the file in VS 2005, what do I do now, please help, I am a newbie! Thanks! This is pure C++ native code. This code uses also the MFC so you can not use it with Visual C++ Express, because ATL and MFC are not part of it. Anyway. The code itself is simple enough to be used with the SDK alone. This code alone is no program, you need to create a project to use this code. This is jus ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom control patterns

  Is it possible to create custom control patterns The docs don't say it isn't, but I couldn't find any hints or information on how to do it. If it is possible, is it just a case of inheriting and implementing the base pattern interface to create a custom control pattern Thanks, Will Hi, I thought I'd provide some more information. I was in a bit of a rush to attend a meeting when I posted last time. The scenario I'm working within is a custom WPF control that makes use of the 3D functionality in WPF. It visualises some log data that traces the position of a pointer in 3D space, which is repre ...Show All
