• Windows Forms BindingSource and ComboBox and not selecting anything

  I experimented using BindingSources and Comboboxes. One thing struck me: there does not seem to be a way to select 'nothing'. On databinding, the first item in the list is automatically selected. This can't even be undone, because the BindingSource.Position property cannot be set to -1, as you could do with the SelectedIndex property of a combobox. This results in the following very unpleasant behaviour: Suppose the user uses my combobox to select some values, f.e. 10, 20 and 30 and I don't want to allow the selection of any other values. Then, on binding, the value 10 will be selected. If a different value would be needed as the fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Debugging classic ASP pages with Visual Web Developer Express

  I have a Visual Web Developer project that contains several classic ASP files. Is there anyway to set breakpoints in these files so I can debug them I've read several articles explaining how to do this in Visual Studio 2005, but wondering if it's possible to do it in VWD. The Debug menu does not have an option to attach to another process, so I'm stuck writing Response.Write statements in my code to see what's happening. Painful to say the least. TIA for the help. You would receive a better response to your question by posting in the ASP.NET and Visual Web Developer forums found at http://forums.asp.net/ This forum is for Visu ...Show All

• Visual C# The IDE often automatically changes the file subtype from "Form" to "Code" in the .csproj file

  The IDE often automatically changes the file subtype from "Form" to "Code" in the .csproj file, which renders the forms unviewable in design view until that change is undone.  Is there any way to prevent the IDE from doing this automatically Thanks, Wilfred look at this url http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx FeedbackId=f39a46fc-5dac-4a55-81ef-e1d262fe0040 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Switching Process Templates mid-project

  We have a large project that we are building inside of Team System. We wish to switch the process methodology we are using on this project mid-way through. So basically I wish to switch to a different process template with different work item types, what is the recommended way to go about doing this There really isn't an easy way to do it. One way is to create a new project and branch your source and copy your bugs over to it. If you just want to change the work item types to the new methodology, then you can create a new project with the new methodology, down load the work item types and re-upload them to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SQLServer service with LOCALSYSTEM, why?

  The latest Team Foundation Server installation guide (TFSInstall-v51020.chm) states in SQLServer installation instructions that the local system account should be used. Why Is it possible to use another account, e.g. a domain user account Great catch -- you can absolutely use other accounts or domain accounts.  For our Beta we had recommended LocalSystem.  As we move towards RTM we are looking to set our recommendation to NetworkService. Hope that helps, marc ...Show All

• .NET Development Databases for Express Editions of VS2005

  Hello, never been using Visual Studio before. Now I decided to _try_ a jump from Delphi to VS as my new toolkit. Got the C# Express Edition installed and running properly. But I do not seem to be able to connect to any database other than SQLServer or Access. Question: is this working as designed for the Express Editions If no, what do I have to do to connect to my recently modernized databases (Firebird). If yes, are those connections allowed/supported with the "higher" versions of VS2005 regards, Andre Hi Andre, The Express editions of Visual Studio do not support connecting to remote datab ...Show All
