• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Databinding problem

  Hello, Could you provide some ideas on how following problem could be solved.

• Visual Studio How to listen keystorkes in VS.Net IDE

  Hi, I'm writing a add-in for helping our development team. Something like live templates, templates will be stored in a xml file with keyname. Like forloop, ifcondition and so on... So when the developer types forloop in the codewindow, then a tooltip should appear on the window, saying press some key to fill the template. For doing this i tried using add-in, but in VS 2003 only LineChanged event is available for texteditor events in DTE. So I don't know how to track the keystrokes happening in the current window.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# - DirectX 9.0c - Creating a Basic Hexagon

  I was wondering if someone could walk me through drawing a basic hexagon using DirectX 9.0c in C#. I've been using the Vector3 structure, and I am having problems understanding how to initialize the view transformation matrix for a hexagon, as well as what input vectors will represent the hexagon (understandably 6). Thank you in advance, Owen If I were you I would not purchase the book by Wendy Stahler. The book by Eric Lengyel is very good ( although I do only have the first edition) it provides enough of mathematics and physics to play with for a long time. ...Show All

• Visual C# GetType from instance that has a null value

  Hello How can i detect the type of an instance that has a null value Test test = null; System.Type type = test.GetType(); returns a nullreference exception..... The Watch window in the debugger of VS.NET is returning the correct type, so it should be possible.. Thanks Marco Hi, VS saves info about all symbols in your project, and it even saves information that you don't have access when running it, when debugging and that's probably the reason why you can get its type in the debugger. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Subfolder overwrite issue in Team System RTM

  Hello, We've run into a frustrating problem with the Team System RTM involving drag and drop operations in the IDE that overwrite files in subfolders. The issue is illustrated here with an animated GIF movie: http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/teamsystem/archive/2006/03/31/Subfolder_overwrite_issue_in_Team_System_RTM.aspx James Manning confirmed this as well, so I think it's a bug in the RTM.
