• Visual C# c# ide - cannot use brief or emacs emulation

  According to the c# documentation the IDE should contain brief- and emacs emulation. On my system I miss all keyboard functions related to these emulations. I tried to enable it in the IDE-options but neither BRIEF nore EMACS show up in the keyboard options. I use the german c# Werner, Are you using C# Express If so, you should download and install VC++ Express as well. The keyboard schemes needed to start the emulations are not included in C# Express. Installing VC++ Express will install them and C# Express will be able to use them. If you are not using C# Express or this doesn't help, please le ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Windows Tooltips kill FPS in my Windowed 3D application?

  Hi all. For a while now, I've noticed on my machine (and others) that when some WINDOWED 3D applications/games are running on Windows (XP/2000 etc), the framerate can drop from 80+ FPS to 5-10FPS if a standard Windows "tooltip" happens to over-lap the 3D window I hope that made sense! The reason it is an issue is because my application runs in a Maximized (not Fullscreen) window directly ontop of the windows desktop (effectively replacing it). As tooltips are a plenty around the taskbar area, tooltips are prone to poping up (well, fading up and back) all the time. Now for the kicker! I don't think it's just m ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Editing XAML - am I missing something ?

  I have the latest release, AFAIK, and Cider is useless - I cannot type into the XAML editor, and using the drag and drop is a waste of time. Expression is a ton better ( read, it can be used ), but is missing the most basic features ( how about search, let alone search and replace, or auto indent of XML, or even being able to use TAB to indent a section of XAML ). I realise it's pre-release, but surely the code for those common features is trivial enough to be put in early and make the tool useful Or are they there and I'm just too dumb to find them Cider is a great tool but have some issues sometimes. But there is no problems ...Show All

• Visual Studio Using Report Viewer in a C++ Windows Application

  I want to use the Crystal Report Viewer control in an MFC Dialog application.  All instructions I have seen tell me to right click on the dialog, choose "Insert ActiveX control..." and then select "Crystal Viewer Control".  However, the Crystal Viewer Control does not appear as an option in the ActiveX control list.  I have the Crystal Reports version that comes with Visual Studio .NET Version 2003.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. It appears that the version of Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio .NET 2003 does not have the ActiveX control I downloaded and installe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Name of new elements

  I thought this question was already asked before but can't find it, so sorry if it was already answered: Suppose I have an element name 'MyElement' then the instance of the DSL always generates names like 'MyElement 1', 'MyElement 2' etc. But I don't want that default space in the name because I use the elements for generating classes. Can I change this behaviour so it generates 'MyElement1', 'MyElement2' etc. Thanks, Gerben [Avanade] Hi Gerben You can take this space out in DomainModel.Resource.resx file inside the Domain Model project. You just need to erase the space between {0} {1} value of ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Runtime error 1004 when adding a seriescole to a chart

  Hi all, this is a very stubborn problem of VBA and I have had to deal with it for years already: Excel version 2003 Error: Runtime error '1004' Unable to set the name property of the series class the macro creates several graphs with multiple seriescollections. Strangely, the first couple of graphs work perfectly! only after a couple of graphs the macro stops at the line ".Seriescollection(ibatch).name = batchfile(ibatch).charseriesname". I can't figure out why, as batchfile(ibatch).charseriesname contains a perfectly fine string Now I have to mention that this problem can also occur on other moments, whe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Newbie question

  Hi all, OK, I just got all of this stuff installed and I'm a bit confused. Do we link our solutions with the Team Services projects And if not, how does all of this work; how do we get from a work item to an actual piece of code I've been playing with this all day and it really feels to me like two distinct tools; an application development tool and a project management tools which just happen to be in the same window with so far no meaningful way to link to two worlds together, which is what I thought this was supposed to be all about... Basically, I was of the understanding that I would go to my team project, and that would be my "portal" ...Show All
