• Windows Forms CommonDialog issues

  I'm trying to build several "dialogs" that ultimately will call various derived common dialogs and I'm experiencing some weird behavior. First I open my custom dialog with the ShowDialog() method. In this dialog, I have a button that will open an "OpenFileDialog". If the user closes the dialog, without opening the "OpenFileDialog" all is fine. However, if the button is pressed and they open the OpenFileDialog dia ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to improve Listbox performance in ADO.NET 2.0?

  I have a bunch of listboxes on my windows forms with a couple of thousand records in each one of them. It takes almost about a minute to load a form in .NET 1.1 We are migrating the application to .NET 2.0 and was wondering if there is any way to improve the performance in ADO.NET 2.0 so that the listboxes are loaded faster in .NET 2.0 I tried running speed test as per: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/11/DataPoints/default. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Expression Trees

  When creating an expression tree, the current Linq release requires me to explicitly state what the type of the expression is: Expression<Func<int,int,int>> expr = (x,y) => x + y; I cant even seem to be able to use type inference here: void GetExpression<T>(Expression<T> expr) { Console.WriteLine(typeof(T)); } GetExpression((x,y) => x+y); // error Do we think that the type inference is going to get better i ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFPOLEDB on 64 bit Operating Systems

  This is a bit annoying because there doesn't seem to be any reference about this on any of Microsoft's sites. Is the VFPOLEDB not compatible with 64 bit operating systems When trying to use it with either XP Pro 64-bit Edition or Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition, I get the "Provider not installed on local Machine." I find it hard to believe (sort of) that Microsoft would not specify that, nor get a patch out for it. Many of my ...Show All

  When I install Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and choose custom setup I can select the installation folder. When I enter now e.g. D.\visualcsharp\exped2005 only a small portion of all installation files are put into this folder. The majority of all files (>1GB) are put into partition C:\ despite my previous selection This is by far too much for my small C: partition.

• Smart Device Development Component inheritance bug.

  Hi I have come across a bizarre problem. I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. The steps I have taken to reproduce this problem are as follows: 1) Create C# Smart Device Application (Pocket PC 2003) 2) Add a new blank component called 'Component1' to the project in the solution. 3) Change the component to inherit from "Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.Notification" instead of "Component".

• Smart Device Development Silly issue with running the emulator

  I don't understand it! I have tried to run an application on the Visual Studio beta 2 (the latest one) and also in other versions (windbay), but the emulator simply won't start.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Determining where I am in ThisDocument_SelectionChange

  Hi, I'm trying to determine where I am in the document within the ThisDocument_SelectionChange event. I have a document with XML tags in it, and would like to select which ActionPane Control I show based on which XML tag I am in. I thought that e.Selection.Range.XMLNodes(0) or something might do the trick, but it appears that the e.Selection.Range.XMLNodes collection is empty.
