• Visual Studio Team System Feature request: Right-click on a message -> "Turn off this rule"

  Currently, to turn off the rule that produced a particular message, I have to click on it, look down to see its RuleFile, find this rule group in "Rules" tree, expand it, find the rule and uncheck it. Too many actions for such a common task, don't you think so Andrew, You're right this would be a great feature. I'll add it to our list of requests for future versions. Thanks for the feedback! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Activity Bar

  I just got into visual C# and I've gone through the Microsoft tutorials to make a notepad app. I've enhanced it a lot and one feature I'm wanting to add is a little "activity bar" in the corner that activates while opening and saving and then deactivates when the action is complete. I've created the progress bar, customized it, and set its mode to Marquee, but I can't think of any code flow that would let it work! This is basically what I want t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Multi-threading problem with Windows Forms (possibly SerialPort too)

  I've been having a problem when updating a windows form from a different thread. Data is received on using a SerialPort class which fires the DataReceived event (on a different thread). This thread then calls a method on a form which updates a text box. The code used in the method is just like the sample from the MSDN below, which reroutes the call so that the textbox update is done from the same thread. private void SetText(string text ...Show All

• .NET Development Traffic meter between clients and HTTP-proxy

• Windows Forms Position of context menu

  Hi, How can I get the position of context menu Thank's Alexei Normally, the context menu will be shown at the center of the control when the keyboard is used to invoke the context menu of a control (Shift+F10, for example). You can customize the location as follows. Override WndProc in the grid and check if the Message.Msg is WM_CONTEXTMENU (0x007b) If so, check if the Message.LParam is -1, which means this was due to a keyboa ...Show All
