• Windows Forms Autocomplete speed/delay

  Hello, It's strange how "little" UI features really annoy the users. We're producing a large .NET Winforms application. It uses VS2005 Combobox autocomplete. The main complaint is that the autocomplete "restart" delay is too quick (pause to think and the autocomplete times out, and restarts...) Does anyone know how to control the time delays in autocomplete (time between keypresses to restart the autocomplete search for example) Thanks, Dr Michael Dye I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted this; and no, we're no nearer to a solution. It's something people have ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Viewbox automatic resizing

  hello, I posted this issue earlier, but nobody replied, so I'm gonna try it again. when I'm using a viewbox as part of the imagebrush, my imageproperties are set to 72dpi. When the imagebrush is rendered, it get's resized to 96dpi. This makes the image quite blurry. Can I prevent this from happening For example by defining the rendering dpi-size of the viewbox Need this very badly, Kimme Hi Kimme, If your using the default ImageBrush values, then it sounds like the problem your running into is with the default value of 'Stretch'. Set this equal to 'None', and your image will not be stretched. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using custom base page in Browser app (February CTP)

  Hi! I'm building a Browser app and would like all pages in my project to subclass my own implementation of Page (which is a subclass of System.Windows.Controls.Page). The only problem is that the class is partially defined in the "code behind" file of the XAML document, and partially in the .cs file generated by Visual Studio. If I specify my own base page as the base class of my page, the compiler gives me the folloing error: Partial declarations of 'WinFXXAMLBrowserApplication1.Page1' must not specify different base classes. How would one go about doing this Thanks for any help. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to force visuals to get rendered?

  Hi, I’m programmatically creating shapes, like rectangles, and putting them in a canvas. I now want to be able to call functions like VisualTreeHelper.GetDrawing and VisualTreeHelper.GetContentBounds. The problem is that GetDrawing for my rectangle returns null, since it has not been rendered yet. I’m using VisualTreeHelper when I’m writing unit tests, so I somehow need to force WPF to render the visuals, without actually having the canvas rendered visibly. I’ve tried InvalidateVisual(), but I guess it just thinks that it doesn't have to be rendered so it does nothing. Is there a way around this / Joel try ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance problem with SQL Server Express

  My current database is running in MSDE. I setup a new server and installed SQL Server 2005 Express. I then copied the database to the new server and attached it. After testing the new server, I noticed that one of my stored procedures that uses a forward_only keyset cursor is running about ten times slower. I’ve compared all the setting between the two servers and everything looks good. I also installed a trial copy of SQL Server 2005 on a spare PC and ran the same test. Again, the stored procedure is running about ten times slower. I’m not experiencing any other performance problems. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Passwords in DataGridView

  I need to display usernames and passwords in a DGV, and I have 2 questions : How do I display the password as a string of asterisks Right now, I am storing them in a List<string>, and then doing something like this foreach ( DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView.Rows) { string s = "" ; for ( int i = 0; i < passwordList[row.Index].Length; i++) s += "*" ; row.Cells[ "passwordColumn" ].Value = s; } Is there a better way to do this When the user sorts by a column, and then "unhides" the passwords, the order of the passwords is incorrect.
