• Visual Studio Team System .NET 1.1 FxCop 1.32 SDK Documentation

  Hi all, I am new to FxCop, and can clearly see its advantages. However, I am unable to find any documentation as to how to use the SDK that accompanies the application version 1.32. I am eager to delve into FxCop to utilise it, but without API direction, I can see that I will potentially be introducing more bugs into my current set.  Steve David's information is right on the mark. I've included it (and some additional details) in a new FAQ on this question (which comes up quite a bit <g>).

• Visual Studio Tools for Office HorizontalAlignment

  Hello, (Disclaimer: I am new to VB .Net) I am trying to create an application that automates a spreadsheet (creates worksheets, populates and formats). I want to center the column heading text. This seems to work: xlsheet.range("1:1").HorizontalAlignment = -4108 Why does this work (using -4108) I suspect this is not the obvious way to do this. Hi, The code that you wrote works because it is valid syntax, but it isn't a good way to code. Your question illustrates the problem; I can't tell what this code does by reading it because I have no idea what -4108 is supposed to mean. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Grid Control In VB Express

  Hello All, I have a bit of a problem here. I am in need of an unbound .Net Grid Control. There does not seem to be a grid control available in Express. I am trying to recreate the Permissions/Change Owner form in MS Access. In my VB6 version of this form I used the MS Flex Grid control. I am trying to stick to using native .Net controls in my design. Does anyone know of an unbound .Net grid control, or possibly have a suggestion for an alternate control that I can use for my purpose. I known there is a Data Grid control in Express. Can this control be used in an ubound mode and populated manually I known there is a Data Grid control in E ...Show All

• SQL Server How to use SSMSE to connect to instance service directly (without going through Browser service)?

  I have configured an instance to use static port, say 1435, and I turned off the Browser service. I would like to know if I can use SSMSE to connect to the instance database directly. The instance is listening at port 1435 and accepting connection requests from other methods. What I need to put into the "Server name: " field Normally, it would be like: <serverIP>\<InstanceID> with Browser turned on. Now how do I add the port information to it, I tried <serverIP>:<portNumber>\<InstanceID> <serverIP>\<InstanceID>:<portNumber> <serverIP>\<InstanceID> < ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Display text at certain time?

  I need help with a certain part of my app. All I need to do is have a textbox display "Open" between the time "9:30AM" and "4:00PM" and then display "Closed" during the rest of the day. Any help would be great! Thanks Set a timer to go off regularly and to check DateTime.Now to see if it's between those two times, and show text accordingly. So, the code would go in the Tick event code for the timer, the timer would be set off in your load event, or similar, and would keep firing while your app runs. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic ComboBox ItemsSource

  I have two ComboBox controls on a dialog. I would like the first ComboBox to control what items are shown in the second ComboBox. When the selected item of the first ComboBox is changed the items available in the second ComboBox will change. The solution I have right now works, but not always. I handle the SelectionChanged event of the first CheckBox and change the ItemsSource of the second ComboBox to the XMLDataProvider that I look up based on the selected item of the first ComboBox. The first time I change out the ItemsSource of the second ComboBox nothing is shown. Every time after that everything works as expected. I have two que ...Show All

• .NET Development How to override DataRow.Tostring()?

  Hi, I'm adding a DataRow to a listbox. The listbox displays the string "System.Data.DataRow" because that's what 'ToString' returns for the object type of DataRow. How can I override what DataRow.ToString() returns I tried creating a derived class of MyDataRow but the DataTable.Rows functions would not cast from DataRow to MyDataRow. Thanks. A DataRow is an object which contains an array of elements and therefore you can't simply utilize the ToString method and expect it to return what you want. You are thinking implicitly and you've got to have a more explicit approach. Before I get into that I just th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why is "stderr" not constant in the second scenario??
