• Visual Basic Changing Font of Menu Items

  In form1.resx, I have < data name ="MenuItem2.Modifiers" type ="System.CodeDom.MemberAttributes, System, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"> < value > Assembly </ value > The text property is "User Manual". I have extra room on the form. Is there any way for me to increase the font size of the menu items Hi, I think this is a system property.

• Windows Forms bug in datagridview Visual Studio 2005 release candidate, solution found

  I have datagridview which is associated to a typed dataset. The dataset contains three tables a, b and c. The datagridview has table a as its datasource. There are two dropdowncolumns x and y in the datagridview. X has a column in table b as its datasource and y a column in table c. The dropdowncolumn x associated to table b is OK. It fills in the correct values in the dropdown, and everything works fine, saving and fetching data. The other dropdowncoulumn y does not work as expected however. That is, as long as the value of the corresponding column in table a is null, it is correct, the dropdown shows ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Studio 2005 Professional Tools for Office

  I'm trying to install VS 2005 tools for office but I can't see it anywhere when I do a custom installation. I have VS 2005 Professional. Can anyone help me with this Ok, I have figured out the problem. What I wanted to do initially was to declare a variable to be used for manipulating an excel file. The variable I wanted was this: Dim wb As Microsoft.office.interop.excel.application The problem was that it wouldn't recognize it. So I did a lot of research and I found that you have to create a reference to the excel library.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel BeforeRightClick TransparentProxy

  When VSTO was in Beta 2 the Excel "BeforeRightClick" event handler would receive an instance of an Excel.Range type.   Now, instead of the range it receives a Transparent Proxy that consequently causes my Application.Intersect() method invokation to fail ( "No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))" ).   I'm not sure where the Transparent Proxy came from, it was not in the Beta 2 code, but it seems like when I try to use it, the Intersect method now fails. Can anyone help out Thanks, - jim The TransparentProxy you're seeing is part of the VSTO solu ...Show All

• Visual Studio protected internal

  Is there any particular reason why there is no protected internal access modifier Robert C# supports FamilyOrAssembly which corresponds to "protected internal". C# does not support FamilyAndAssembly modifier (besides IL, C++ is the only language I know which supports it). I.e.: C#: Public -> public Assembly -> internal Private -> private Family -> protected FamilyOrAssembly -> protected internal FamilyAndAssembly -> ups...

Likewise, you can iterate through the Items collection of a menu strip item and check each one for it's checked property. Here is some sample code using recursion to walk sub-menus.

• Visual Studio Sharing Files\unsharing files

  I noticed in Sourcesafe that some up my forms had what looks like the shortcut icon on them. from another thread I have seen it looks like this might mean they are shared. They shouldn't be as there is only one project in sourcesafe. How do I get them to be unshared Thanks. If you move a file from a folder to another in VSS (by dragging the file), the file is actually shared between the two folders. So the most common thing you can do is go to the source folder and delete the file, so that it exists only in the destination folder. However, the shared icon will not go away since the file was only deleted fro ...Show All

• Windows Forms OpenFileDialog Working directory?

  In my VB2005 programs, I like to have an "Last Used Folder" setting so the next time the program is used, the OpenFileDialog boxes will show the last folder used. I can do everything but figure out how to get the Folder Path out of the OpenFileDialog once the user has selected a file. I have pulled it out of the "Filename" member in which I would have to write code to manually remove the filename from the string. Is there an easier way to do this     One way to do it is to have a single OpenFileDialog object during all your application's lifetime (make it a field in your MainForm c ...Show All
