• Visual Studio Express Editions I need to count by ascii characters. Seems tricky!

  Hey guys, I'm doing an expirement and I need to basically "count" but using a set of ascii characters. I'm having a heck of time. And using VB.NET Express. For example, in Decimal, you count 1,2,3...8,9,10. As you know, once your first character reaches 9, a new character is added, 0, to the left, and then you start over counting the 1st character such as 10,11,12...18,19,20. Each time the rightmost character reaches 9, the next ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Poor performance caused by Frame

  Hi, I'm trying to develop a prototype of a business application. The major task is to show data from a database (e.g. a list of customers).

• Visual Studio VS2005 breaks on unhandled exception in asynchronous code

  I am using BeginInvoke and EndInvoke on a delegate to call a function that throws an exception. There is no error handler in the delegate function, because I want to catch the exception when EndInvoke is called. This works fine with both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, but in VS2005 beta 2, the debugger breaks in when the exception is first thrown warning me that I have an exception that is unhandled by user code. Is there a way I can stop the debugger f ...Show All

• Windows Forms SplitContainer "Continuous Layout" or "Show Contents During Reizing" Option?

  Hello, I am working with the SplitContainer control in VS .NET 2005 July CTP. When sizing a content area on the screen, such as when resizing a form or when moving a splitter bar, there are usually two ways to go about it. One is to draw the splitter bar / form bounds only, then resize and repaint the content area(s) and child controls once, when resizing is complete.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bind Scale to Slider
