• Visual C# Printing A Windows Form

  I've done a bit of research and it looks like there is no real easy way to print a windows form. What I'm after if the ability to print my form, which contains only labels and one image. The main technique seems to be redrawing all of these controls to a graphic object, then sending that object to the print dialog. My question was, is there an easier way to print just a windows forms with labels, that has no buttons, or textboxes, etc on it Are there any free or relatively cheap components that can make this easier I've looked at the PrintForm for $299 but was hoping for a cheaper or easier way of doing this. Is there something new ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device Emulator Manager

  I'm probably just not following instructions correctly... WinXP Pro SP2 ActiveSync 3.8 Downloaded standalone DeviceEmulator050419.msi.  Following the Installation and General Usage Instructions.  Step 1, Install Emulator, done and no error messages.   Step 2, Register Device Emulator, done and no error messages.  Step 3, Select Device Image.  Done, either Cold Boot image seems to work just fine.  Unit shows up and OS launches.  No apparent problems. Step 4. Choose Options.  Appears to be fine.  No current reason to change options, so nothing done with this step. Step 5.  Here's where I hang.& ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot access Documents in Team Explorer

  I have the Beta 3 Refresh of TFS installed. I logged in as TFSSETUP and created a new Team Project (AdventureWorks). In addition, I added my personal id to the admin groups in the Team Foundation Server Security Group and Windows SharePoint Services Role. In the server/reports server, I added BUILTIN\Users to the Properties\Security (this was not enabled by default and thus everyone other than server administrators received security errors for the project portal web parts... which was not well documented, btw) When I connect in Team Explorer as TFSSETUP and access the Adventureworks Team Project, everything is fine. However, when I log in ...Show All

• SQL Server Row and column count in SSMS

  When you execute an MDX query the Messages tab displays the number of rows and columns returned. However, that includes the rows and columns used to hold the member names. Personally I would prefer it only returned the rows and columns in the cellset. Anyone agree/disagree Discuss!!! Also, a minor point. I'd like it if the rows and columns were displayed on the results tab like the number of rows are in a SQL query. Anyone agree cheers Jamie Hi Jamie, The row and column counts returned for empty axes are also a bit inconsistent : >> select {} on 0 from [Adventure Works] ---------------- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Start page question

  On the start page, there's a list of recent projects. I to remove projects from this list to remove clutter. The only way that I found was to move the directory and then click on the link. VS then asks me if I want to remove it since it cannot find the directory. Is there a better way Thanks, LGuy I think the existing project list in Start Page come from MRU List stored in the registry, but the Start Page script is checking if the File/Project exist first before the script will display it to the Start Page. The location of ProjectMRUList is in this path: HKCU/Software/Microsoft/VisualStudio/<Version>/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Asynchronous Sockets

  2 part question: 1.)For the asynchronous socket methods in visual basic .net, what does the size parameter pertain to For example Socket.beginreceive(data,0,5,new asynccallback(addressof Foo),0) Does this mean Foo will be called when I receive 5 bytes, that Foo will be called when I receive anywhere up to 5 bytes, and if I receive more than 5, are the others loaded into data or lost or do they wait for me to call beginreceive again 2.) Is it correct that you cannot send data using beginsend when beginreceive has been called but endreceive has not been called. And if so, endreceive requires a parameter iAsyncResult which is an int ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WEB Test Setting Environment variables inside IDE

  I notice that VSTS has the ability to import & export settings. Is it possible to import environment variables as well History: I have been working on creating a method to set context variables that will work both in console mode running MSTEST, as well as from within the IDE. Console mode is easy - set Test.FOO then run MSTEST. Setting an envronment variable from the properties window of my computer is almost as easy, and can even be done with a simple program using Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable but requires that visual studio be closed and re-opened. What works the best (for me) is to create a web plug-in and use th ...Show All
