• Software Development for Windows Vista Page

  How can I set the page size and other PageSetup parameters when creating and printing an XpsDocument PrintTicket pt = printQueue.UserPrintTicket; pt.PageMediaSize.PageMediaSizeName = PageMediaSizeName .ISOA5; seemed like the obvious thing but it is readonly. Thanks Michael Daniel, (our posts maybe just crossed) I'm using the overloaded constructor but isn't ISOA5 a known size I'd like to understand the reasoning as to why Width and Height are not set to a default for the passed PageMediaSizeName. It means every WPF program must store these defaults when it could very easi ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to input like powerbuild in datagridview?

• Visual Studio Express Editions GACUTIL

   === Edited by AdeptBlue @ 19 Jan 2006 4:04 AM UTC=== Me again ... I think this is a bug in VS2005 Express ! I just added my DLL to GAC manually without any problem. (Don't ask why I didn't try that before -- sometimes I am so dumb I scare myself) Will the VS205 team pick up this bug report here or should I post it some other way (Maybe a silly question, but I'm a newbie) ====================================== OK ... I admit it ... I'm in W a a a y   over my head now! I don't even know which Forum to use for this question, but since the problem occurs while I'm working in C#, I guess I'll start h ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005 & VB.NET 2003 BUG: Enumeration Comparison to Integer with Option Strict On does not evaluate correctly

  Hopefully I am posting this in the correct place.  If not, please help me get there. Basically I want to report a bug with the VB2005 (and VB.NET 2003) compiler. Here is the behavior:  In VB2005 (and VB.NET 2003), Enumeration comparison to Integer with Option Strict On never implicitly converts the enumeration to the integer, and also does not show up as an error in the pre-compiler or the compiler. Thus it will incorrectly evaluate to false, even if it is true. I am part of a team where I work, and we have a very large solution that we recently converted to VB2005 (after turning on Option Strict).  We came across ...Show All

• Visual Studio Supported projects

  I'm doing a brown bag on MSBuild in a week or so and I wanted to make sure I had this info right.  VS uses MSBuild for C#, VB and J# (I never install this so I'm not sure) projects.  SLN files aren't MSBuild files but MSBuild can parse them and build the SLN as long as it only contains projects of type: C#, VB, C++ and J#   C++ works because MSBuild just invokes VCBuild on the C++ project file.  Running MSBuild on a SLN file never invokes Visual Studio.  If your solution contains a project type not supported by MSBuild e.g. Setup projects, then you can always fallback to running devenv /build on the solution wh ...Show All

  Hello, I would like to ask you if it is possible to update DelayActivity.TimeDuration value when DelayActivity is executing I want to achieve scenario like this: workflow is configured to simulate delay specified in the DelayActivity. After DelayActivity starts waiting, user wants to change delay value for the running instance (increase or decrease the delay value).
