• Visual Studio intellisense customization

  In VS2005 or VWD while working on ASP.NET project, after you type a name of a control, intellisense presents you with a list of members for this control. Among the members are numerous properties related with appearance of control like "Font-Size", etc. I prefer to deal with presentation using CSS and skins, so these properties just clog the list for me. Is there a way to remove these properties from intellisense members list ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Locking down the toolbars??

  Hi everyone I'm enjoying the product so far, however I have one little quirk I'm trying to fix. Currently, whenever I click on a file in the Solution Explorer, I lose the "Text Editor" toolbar. Then when I click on a .h/.cpp file I want to edit, I get the toolbar back again (which re-adjusts the toolbars, forcing the editing pane to lower a bit) So what ends up happening is that the UI workspace is constantly growing and sh ...Show All

  SQL 2005, 2000 Server SP4, IIS 5, .Net Framework 2.0 My SQL Server lives in two networks separated by a Netscreen firewall.

So I can ping the Server at one address 'A'- but the Netscreen routes the traffic to the Server at the address the server knows itself as 'B'. The Server can't ping A (the address the outside ...Show All
