• Visual Studio where is this Document Explorer?

  is it free Is it a seperate program is it the same as Dexplore Do I already have it somewhere with VS One correction: On my system (August CTP) the file dexplore.exe is located in "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 8", not in the VS installation directory. As a matter of fact, there are two versions of this file: the recent one (August 2005) mentioned above, and one dated 19 March 2003 in "...\Microsoft Shared\Help" (without the trailing " 8"). The older one looks like it's left over from a previous MSDN Library installation. After a test start, the newer one ominously told me it was "updating ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databing a grid with web service object

  I was using a datagrid binding it with a web service object, i was just wondering whether it is better to bind a grid with the webservice object directly or using certain datasets to bind the datagrid to the webservice object. Please help me understand what you mean by "bind to the WebService directly"   Normally, you'll make a call on a web service method and it will return data and you bind to that data.  You can pass a DataSet back from your web service if you want to use DataSet binding - however, this is not required in order to get your WebService to work with data binding.

• Visual C++ WriteString( ) MFC Function

  Hello all, I'm a newbie to this forum and appreciate if anyone of you has seen this problem before regarding the WriteString( ) in hte MFC class and provide some badly needed help. In my app I'm using the CStdioFile::WriteString( ) function. The string being passed into this function for printing into the log file, does have the entire SQL statement. But when the WriteString( ) function writes it into the log, the SQL statement is truncated at the first non-English character. Bunch of developer whom i have spoken to think this should be a problem with either the WriteString( ) function, or with the way it is being used. We are trying t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Create a Progress Bar which follows the file's length copying

  Hi to all, I'm a french developper from south west coast in France. And I 'm creating a progress bar while copying a big file. I'd like to manage the progress bar while the file is being copy, and set it with the current length. I tried to do it with a thread but I don't succeed.

  Hey, I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, and have ran into a dead end. I want my program to copy a file into a folder but the only copy command I could find was the io.file.copy but this only allows the code to copy to a file path not a folder, is there a way to copy a file to folder or a way around it Thanks File.copy which copies file from one location to other with file path defined.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Visual Studio Only?

  Is Visual Studio .NET 2003 or above going to be a requirement for MSN Search API developers   I know it's early yet, however that's the only SDK I see and there's no information indicating anything else will be available. I ask because some of us have been developing API's (Google, Yahoo!, eBay, Amazon, etc, etc) for a long time now.  You're going to be missing out on an awful lot of really good developers if you're going to have the requirement that everyone drop between $550 and $1800 for a software package we don't currently have and probably will not use for anything other than creating MSN Search API applications.&nb ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [BUG] GridSpliter does not respecting MinWidth / MinHeight

  I have a window with a grid, 3 panels, and 2 grid spliters.  The right/bottom panels have MinWidth/MinHeight set to prevent the spliter from making them hidden, but it is not respecting those values and will make the panels smaller than their respective Min settings. The issue you are seeing is not with Grid not respecting your minimum width setting.  The issue is with the GridSplitter control.  In order to get the behavior you are asking for with a GridSplitter you would need to derive a custom control from GridSplitter that would listen to the available size and stop layout on reaching the specified Min-width.  Wh ...Show All
