• Visual Basic Opacity Problems

  The Opacity property on a windows form allows the form to look translucent.  By looping through varying degrees of opacity in the form's closing event I have a form that looks like it is fading out.  In VB 2005 I have been unable to replicate this.  The problem is that when the form begins to fade, instead of retaining the form's look and colors, it turns completely black and then fades to lesser degrees of gray.  In VB ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio crashes running web test many times

  I have built a web test with the view to running as part of a load test. For the most part I can run the test fine from Visual Studio and have done so with up to 250 cycles of the test (i.e. fixed run count of 250). As I had it running so well I decided to increase the run count and leave it running while I went on holiday so I set the run count to 10000. So it would be like a single user running this process over and over. In addition I figu ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2003 attach to process crashes Visual Studio

  I often am notified by Windows that Visual Studio 2003 has encountered a probem and has to close when I run the debug/processes command to attempt to attach to and debug one of my projects. Usually this happens after I have successfully attached to the program using the command once. Subsequent attempts to do the same the next time my process is started often results in the IDE crashing after I select the processes command. No Processes dialog s ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Modelling a collection and item relationship

  I'm looking to implement a state machine for a job system. The lowest level item is a Job, but I would also like to have the ability to group jobs together i.e a batch of Jobs.  Both a batch and a job would have states like Open, Assigned, Completed, Closed etc. So you could have a Open batch with half of the Jobs completed one Closed and one assigned. Valid states for a batch would be dependent on all the Jobs in the batch i.e only closed ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sequential Workflow Cancellation

  This question has appeared before but never with a clear answer. When would a SequentialWorkflowActivity execute its cancellation handler The SDK sample "CancelWorkflow" does indeed "cancel" the workflow by raising an exception, but this isn't a "cancel" in the sense that the cancellation handler runs. I have not been able to find a scenario where the cancellation handler runs, yet it seems emphasized by th ...Show All
