• Windows Forms Two questions about ListView

  1. When I change the width of the columns of a ListView, the content of it flashes as I move the mouse. How can I cancel the ListView redraw the content while changing the column width I tried to add e->Cancel = true; in ColumnWidthChanging event, but it works not very fine. 2. I have an icon, and have added it in an ImageList. I want to set it as the ListView's StateImage. But strange that it displays as only in a very low color depth. I have set the ImageList's ColorDepth property to Depth32Bit, but it does not works. And if I set this icon as the icon of a form, it displays fine. How can I solve this problem The format of the icon is P ...Show All

• Visual Studio Advice on installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional and SQL Server 2005 Developer

  I've downloaded from MSDN the released versions of VS2005 Professional and SQL Server 2005 Developer editions. Does anyone know the proper sequence to install these products TIA, Richard I installed SQL Server Dev first, then installed VS, but when VS loads, there are no SQL components listed on the splash screen, just VB, C# and VWD. A colleague installed the other way, and has some SQL components listed on the splash screen.  Can I get VS to 'refresh' this list Thanks ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading a Vertexbuffer from a Mesh

  This has been driving me nuts.  It's so simple... but not working.  I have written to vertex buffers before, no problem.  But, for some reason, I can't read an existing one from a mesh. Keep in mind, I have recently upgraded to the newest version of Managed DirectX. Perhaps something has changed   I would like to dump vertex buffer into an array so I can get the locations of all the vertices.  (Eventually, I plan on making collision detection with these vertices).  I have tried loading a mesh, locking the vertex buffer (using the Mesh.LockVertexBuffer function) and trying to put it into an array.&nb ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) dragging control will immediately crash visual studio

  Problem repro: create a new windows application fx project, create button on the grid, drag it to another location. After about 0.5 seconds visual studio throws an error and asks me if I want to debug.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Two bits

  One thing I have noticed as I read through these treads is the persistence on the clarification of the use of the application.  I just wanted to lend my percieved insite and ask what M$'s thoughts were on this. I feel a lot of this has to do around the use of the words 'free'. For fear of sounding Clintonesque, perhaps definition of the word 'free' might be helpful. No one wants to start using something that they may not have access to in the future, may not be able to sell applications made with it in the future, or any other type of concerns for the future.  Perhaps M$ could lend some insight as to the motivation behind providin ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 errors when adding parameters to a report

  As far as I can tell to add a parameter to a report in a VS project you should go to report menu / Report parameters. Here you can add the parameters. I am using the june ctp. When I go to the menu and select Report parameters i get an error 'Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation'. Similarly if I try to open the parameters property of a subreport i get an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object', which admittedly may be because the subreport has no parameters yet (see firt problem). What is going on, how can this be fixed. As a final question i have also tried a subreport with no data, with no parameter ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why will LINQ fail ?

  Microsoft tries to helping object developers to close the gap between the relational world and the object world.And they call this " object modelling approach " Dlinq. Using " custom business entities " in enterprise programming with Dlinq might seem the best thing after " sliced bread " but it isn't. For my part I have written my Mappers and used commercial OR/M tools. They mostly provide the same thing. __Read the table from the database. ___Put that into a some HELPER thing.( DAO,DAL,ORM) ____Put that into your custom business object _____Read from your business object.(if u can :) ) I see NO REASON for this " Unnecessary Pull ...Show All

• .NET Development Quick Q: browsing for database servers on network

  I have a quick (hopefully) question. Does ADO.Net have any tools for a fairly simple browsing of a local network for database servers Specifically, SQL Servers Just like, say, the ODBC DataSources control panel in Windows, or the SQL Server Management Studio I am writing a tool (for educational purposes) to connect to and query a data source (ODBC, and SQL Server implemented so far) but I have to give it a connection string before it can do anything. I would like it to be able to browse the local network for installed servers (there are a couple of machines running SQL Server 2000 around here, not counting my SQL server 2005 Express), and ...Show All
