• Visual C# create DLL with unresolved externals

  Hello! I want to create a dll that uses a GUI framework (wxWidgets). The dll will be loaded by a main application which uses the same framework as well. Hence all the included libraries exist twice when I load the dll which leads to problems with static variables of the framework e.g. the main event table. My intetion is to build the dll without linking the libraries to it and keep the symbols unresolved. These symbols should then be resolved by the dll loader. Now the question is: How can I build a dll and keep those symbols unresolved with Visual Studio 2005 Thank, Lenzoi I'm loadin ...Show All

• Windows Forms need to get a transparent object on a picturebox

  Hello, I need to achive the backstyle property of the VB6-usercontrol in .NET. I tried setting the backcolor of the .NET user control to Web.transparent but it is meant only for transparency to the form and not for any objects in the form. The reason to use the backstyle is to draw a regions like rectangle and circle over the thirdparty streaming control/object. Thanks, These two lines of code should certainly help you - this .SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor , true ); this .BackColor = Color.Transparent; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System C# or VB.NET

  It seems to me that all the code examples shown here and in the documentation are all based on C#. My client is completely standardized on VB.NET for all its developement and we are bound to this standard as well. For us, it would be nice if the examples were also available in VB.NET. Does anyone else feel that way or do we just have to bite the bullet and go for C# when we create tests Hi Roland, Yes, I feel that way too.  I absolutely believe that we should be providing examples in VB.NET along with C# examples wherever possible, from the beginning.  I can only speak for the documentation, ...Show All

But the PROBLEM is that if I retrieve the the DateTimePicker value in the code, it comes in Control Panel settings again. To retrieve the value i use the following: pickerDate.Va ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Some Workflow classes use wrong casing of Id

  For example the Activity class uses ID as name of the property. According to the framework design guidelines the abbrevation ID should be spelled Id.
