• Visual Studio Express Editions Broken MSDN Express integration with VB, et al

  I have installed all of the express products, after removing the VS beta 2 from my computer as documented. Everything works except the integration with MSDN Express Library.

Clicking on "How Do I", "Search", or "Help Favorites" in the MSDN Express document explorer gets the same error message or another saying "The operation cannot be completed: No such interface supported".

• Smart Device Development Upgrade path for CF 1.1 design time capable custom controls to CF 2.0

  Does anybody know of one I read in this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=129715&SiteID=1 of the genasm.exe tool, but searching on http://msdn.microsoft.com/ for it produces no results at all. There also does not seem to be an automatic way of creating the necessary *.xmta file outside of VS2005. Can anybody give me a heads up on this one please It does seem a bit ridiculous that none of the work I put in to create my CF 1.1 design time capable custom control can be used in developing a CF 2.0 version of it.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to remove Application members from the global namespace

  Dear Support, We recently implement the Application.Left property to move the application main window similar to the Office Application.Left property. Afterwards we encounter the problem that the 'Left' and 'Left$' symbols now are resolved to the Application.Left property instead of to the VBA.Left and VBA.Left$ methods. I noticed that the Office '98 VBA implementation suffered from the same artifact. This has been fixed in later office versions. This must have been implemented by removing the Application.Left method from the global namespace symbol table or preventing it to be added in the first place. C ...Show All
