• Visual Studio Express Editions How to examine HTML from a web page?

  I'm a bit perplexed with this. I've got about 4096 characters that are returned from Webbrowser.documenttext property, but the rest of the page is lopped off when assigned to a string.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Feb CTP, documentation not updated, no config intellisense

  Just so you know, i have installed the last bits and unfortunately although the various samples in the SDK are reflecting the API changes, the documentation is not updated. At least not the topic i looked for. (federation) Also, it appears that there is no intellisense in WCF configuration files. The "List members" doesn't work. In fact it never worked for me even with the Jan CTP. Is that normal -Jonathan Hi Jonathan, I dont know if this is your case, but I suffered the missing intellisense for WCF config files in the Jan CTP. Just after installing it, intellisense was working like a charm. ...Show All

• Visual Studio property graphical representation

  Is it possible to show an icon on left side of a atributte I mean, in the class diagram expample, classes has attributes and would like to show an icon on the left side of the atributte if one of his properties takes a specific value. Thanks I don't think it's possible out of the box. But you can do this with some custom code. You can write a partial class for the shape and override the paint event of the shape like: public partial class SomeShape { public override void OnPaintShape( DiagramPaintEventArgs e) { base .OnPaintShape(e); e.Graphics.DrawIcon(someIcon, this .A ...Show All

• Visual Basic questions regarding GUI in VB

  I've got the following three questions regarding VB.NET programming: 1. Is it possible to build hyperlinks in GUI. 2. How to highlight some words displayed in a label or textbox 3. How to measure the time spent in executing the programme and display it in "hour:minute:second" format to the user. Thanks very much. Hi, W. Yuan, (1) Yes – in VB2005, you can use the LinkLabel control. (I don’t recall offhand if that was in earlier versions). (2) Labels and textboxes only have one font associated with them – the only highlighting that you can control directly is the selection (and labels don’t even h ...Show All

  Hi, my .NET-application uses a .NET-Assembly which seems to create some problems: When I click the X-button of the window of my app, the window hides but the programme doesn't end. I tried to get arount that by using this code: private void MyForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e) { Application.Exit(); Thread.CurrentThread.Abort(); } The Assembly mentioned above works asynchronously and has some events, which are triggered periodically.
