• Software Development for Windows Vista Various comments on Default application projects

  I've been playing a bit with beta 1 and beta 1.2 and there are a few things I'm not very comfortable with in the default code generated when you create a new Workflow project (C#). For example, the default exe projects (e.g. sequential workflow console application) have absolutely no error handling at all. Now, I'm assuming that many people might just fail to notice this and either use the generated code in Program.Main as is or with little modification, in which case their workflow projects will simply hang in case of an unhandled exception inside one of the workflow tasks, with no indication of anything that might have happened. This is b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding a new toolbar into a ToolWindow

  I have a working Tool Window developed using VSIP 7.1. I want to add a toolbar to it that mimics actions already defined in a top-level menu. I have read through a bunch of postings to this thread talking about manipulating the toolbar once it's there, but I cannot figure out how to get in the plugin in the first place. I have the CTC group and commands, as well as a something that I thought could lead to a toolbar: MENUS_BEGIN menuGrp:IDM_MAIN_TOOLBAR, menuGrp:IDM_MAIN_TOOLBAR, 0x0000, TOOLBAR, "name", "name"; MENUS_END NEWGROUPS_BEGIN menuGrp:IDG_MAIN_TOOLBAR, menuGrp:IDG_MAIN_TOOLBAR, 0x0100; NEWGR ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mdiparent - Is this bug solved?

  I've an mdiParent (maximized) with X children (maximized). The mdiParent contains a menustrip. I load the children into the parent. The first time when I load a child into the parent, the menustrip hides a part of the child. When I minimize the parent and then maximize it, the position of the child is correct (below the menustrip).
