How would i go about making the edges of the TabControl rounded And how can i make the MenuStrip like links except with a context menu Thanks in Advance, TheDarkestShadow ...Show All

• Visual Basic Could not read state file

  My projects keep coming up with this error: Warning 1 Could not read state file "obj\Debug\ResolveAssemblyReference.cache". Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets 0 0  The help file doesn't exist for it. What am I doing wrong, and how do I cure it please It usually happens after a major edit - moving code around the place or renaming something (as you suggest). Renaming the file worked, but it didn't come back when rebuilding which seems odd. So I don't know if it worked or not. One issue ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Mobile performance/size problems with WM5 device

  I just upgraded our application from SSCE 2.0 to SQL Mobile. Our app is written in C++, and we use OLE DB for most of our queries, including the routine the downloads and inserts our lookup table data. This application is running on a Dell Axim X51. Using SSCE 2.0, this routine takes 236 seconds, with most time spent inserting data into various tables (using OLE DB). The resultant database size is 15.1 MB. Using SQL Mobile, this routine now takes 675 seconds, with a resultant database size of 27.9 MB!! There is a noticable increase in time when the downloaded data is being inserted into the database. What would be the reason(s) for the slowe ...Show All

• Smart Device Development problem with dock fill

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Version 8.0.50727.42. In a PocketPC2003 project, I am having trouble seting up one of my forms. The first thing I did is create a panel and dock it to the top. Then I created a label and a few check boxes and put them inside the panel. I docked the label to the top of the panel. below the first panel I have a splitter, also with its' dock property set to top. This positions it just below the first panel. Then, below the splitter, I have another panel with its' dock property set to fill. This causes it to fill up the remaing portion of the form. So far everything is working fine. Then inside ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there any way to assign two resources or more for a workitem?

  Hi there, Is there any way to assign not only one, but two or more people to a WorkItem. In Project i can assign a work to more than one people, but when i try to add a Workitem, it only permits me assign one person. Thanks, Guino. You cannot assign to multiple entries in the Assigned To drop down.  However, if you're thinking of something like having a DEV and TEST owner for each work item, you can definitely add a Dev Owner and Test Owner field to the work item type where each field has a drop down like the Assigned To list. ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Sort Order / Collation

  I have an O2 Xda IIs Pocket PC running PPC 2003 SE, WWE (Worldwide English) edition. I want to create a database which contains all Chinese characters that have been mapped under the Unicode Standard. I already have a similar database on my desktop PC. On my desktop PC, I have used the collation Chinese_Hong_Kong_Stroke_90_CI_AS. However, on my Pocket PC, I do not see any Chinese or even Unicode sort orders. The best I get is "General". I want to use the Chinese sort order to govern the way the characters are sorted (ie., characters with fewer strokes appear first). How am I able to do this / Is there anything extra that I may ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying Excel Localcube

    Hi friends,   Whenever I have created a local cube and have created an excel report from the local cube and after I send this report + the local cube to a client. I find that they often save the report + local cube to a different directory.   The problem is that the excel actually stores an absolute location that points to the cube. So when I've created the cube on my computer it could be c:\my.cub but when the client has unziped the report it could be in d:\reports\jan\my.cub . as a result Excel often complains of not being able to find the cube.   What can I do about this   Thanks Tom ...Show All

Since this is a custom machine, I dont think it is possible to use a preexisting driver for it and we were thinking if I could make a driver for it. As fahr as I know it is not posible.
