• Visual Basic How can I get the text in a particular textbox NOT to clear when I click on the AddNewItem button?

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug? ArrayList as parameter

  If I use an instance of a class inherited from ArrayList as a parameter in an interface, the CallExternalMethod activity is unable to find that method: Method 'xy' not found. But if I replace the ArrayList with a generic List<object> it works fine. Seems like a bug to me... Hi John, This is a bug. Use composition instead of inheritance or you can use generic collections to workaround this issue. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WinFX Beta 2 - ResourceDictionary, Styles?

  I just installed the the May CTP. Unfortunately my application isn't running anymore. I always get the error: Property 'Source' not found or not serializable for type 'Source'. < Application.Resources > < ResourceDictionary Source = " View/Styles/StyleDictionary.xaml " /> </ Application.Resources > In another application it still works, so I think it has something to do with the styles inside my Reso ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why I can't delete a folder in Source Control Explorer?

  I create two folders under the root of a project in Source Control Explorer, but later find that one of them could be deleted but another could not(the "Delete" command in context menu is grayed). Why Thanks! BTW, in the latest builds we've changed the SCE display so that it's a little easier to distinguish between items that are greyed out because they're deleted vs. because they've never been retrieved vs. because they're cloaked. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual Studio .NET 2003/2005 VC debugger does not handle opaque type inspection correctly, a regression from VC 6

  I believe I have found a bug in the VS 2003/2005 debugger. When you compile the below C code and step into the create_two or function_two routines, the debugger gets the opaque type incorrect. Visual C 6 did not suffer from this problem. It appears that the debugger IDE binds the first struct definition to the opaque type across all files, but this is incorrect. Struct definitions are scoped on a per file basis. NOTE: The source can be down ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista BizTalk Server and WWF integration

  Will BizTalk Server 2006 have Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) integrated with it Thanks, Sudheesh From what I have seen so far (from Biztalk and WWF), it seems that Biztalk is used more to tie different very disconnected applications together to perform a workflow operation. WWF is more of internal, you write individual applications around WWF. For example, you won't find a Sequential Workflow Console Applic ...Show All
