• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Interfaces as a solution to n-tier and other issues

  In making a type serializable, we have two options: via attributes such as [Serializable] / [NonSerialized], or by implementing interfaces such as ISerializable and IDeserializationCallback. It would be nice if we could have the same two options when writing an entity class – either using attributes as in the current DLinq preview – or by implementing a set of interfaces. This would solve a number of isssues: entities could be written whose schema is created at runtime a base class for statically typed entities could be designed whose SqlMetal-style generator produces close to parsimon ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem using SQL Server Mobile 2005 with Windows Mobile 5 application

  Hello, I am developping a non-managed C++ application for PocketPC using a SQL Server mobile database. The application is compiled for PocketPC 2003 and uses SQL Server Mobile v2. I use Visual Studio 2005. But I need to compile the application for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. So I installed the WM5 SDK and had the WM5 into my project configuration. The "ssceoledb.h" which I include incluses the "transact.h" file. But my problem is that this file is only provided with the PocketPC 2003 SDK and not in the WM5 SDK. So I cannot use the WM5 configuration project with SQL Server. I also tried with the last SQL Server Mobile 2005 ...Show All

• SQL Server Multi-line annotation?

  Is it not possible to have a multi-line annotation OR my ENTER key is stuck ;-) thanks, Nitesh Personally, I wonder why the annotation object doesn't have word-wrapping enabled, like the tesxt in visio. That would certainly (imho) be the simplest answer. I do wish enter worked as well (again, a la visio), but at least now I can takes those 8 annotations I had, and re-merge them into 1, having found this answer. ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual c# beta 1

  I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this, but I guess it is close. I recently downloaded and installed visual studio .net beta 2.  Before installing I uninstalled all .net framework v2, and VS.net beta 1.  I also have a version of VS.net 2002 on my machine that I cant uninstall  because I use it to develop software for my company.

• Visual Basic Problems with converting VB6 to VBNet handling of Fortran strings

  I am having trouble with strings returned from a fortran DLL to a Visual Basic program.  It works in VB6, but I can not seem to get it to work in VB.NET In VB6 I get the full character string, in VB.Net I get only the first character.

• Windows Forms datagrid delete button

  I have a datagrid I have set up to delete the selected row when the delete key is pressed. But, I also added a button to do the same thing but Im having problems doing the same thing because inorder to do some of the things you need to have the DataGridViewRowCancelEventArgs variable that goes with the row delete event.  My question is if it would be possible to just call the UserDeletedRow event that occurs when the delete key is presses in my button code so that the button would execute the same as that event using the same code   Thanks We'll, you could remove the row (Rows.Remove) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to turn off anti aliasing for small text?

  Anti aliasing small text tends to make the letters look blurry and indistinct. I cannot find a way to disable the anti-aliasing of text in WPF and as a result label or button text looks really bad. Ideally I'd like to disable anti aliasing globally for font sizes below a certain size. How can I accomplish this -Ryan rfuller987@hotmail.com Hi Ryan, Anti-aliasing cannot be turned off in WPF, but I am quite concerned that small text sizes appear blurry for you. In general our ClearType sub-pixel antialiasing has been show to improve readability at small font sizes. What font and font size are ...Show All

• Visual C++ 'DWORD_PTR' : undeclared identifier

  Ok, I have seen several others here post questions concerning the problem of getting: error C2065: 'DWORD_PTR' : undeclared identifier ; however, I have not seen any solutions I can use. Has anyone figured out what is going on I have tried the same suggestions that others have made to no avail, including adding <windows.h>, etc. I just installed VStudio 2005 Standard on a machine that I just did a new install of W2K w/SP4, so there is nothing in there that should be fouling anything up.
