• Visual Studio Team System Could not connect to application tier.

• Windows Forms ComboBox.DataSource initialisation difference between framework 1.0 and 1.1

  Hi, I'm trying to get an application that was written in C# with the 1.0 framework running using the 1.1 framework and it seems there is a difference when the ComboBox.DataSource property can be set. In the origninal 1.0 app it is done after the ComboBox is added to a ControlCollection however using the 1.1 framework it seems as if you can't set the DataSource property after the ComboBox has been added to the ControlCollection. Has anyone else encountered this behaviour and does anyone know why it was added Thanks I've managed to get round this limitation by using the items property instead. If I add t ...Show All

• Windows Forms designer can't load form. Where is 'more information'?

• Visual C# MS, MVP feedback, question: casts / conversions -- some way to automate?

  Is there some way to adjust the warning level and other compiler flags so that the c# compiler is 1) not so darned finnicky about expressions using mixed floating point and integer types and 2) actually performs automatic conversions more correctly than it does, like a 'C++' compiler some feedback on this also -- requiring explicit casts in so many situations is all downside, as far as I am concerned: Its very time consuming having to add all the (float) casts required now, and the casts make the code much harder to read. I find I code far more errors than I would otherwise because of the visual distractions added by all the pa ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Color values related to the RGB color modell

  Hi All, Could you please tell me the relation between the RGB and the ScRGB color modell. What is 255 in Sc Is this 1.00000 or 0.00000 What is 128 in Sc Is this 0.5.... Or is there another way to compute the Sc values from the old RGB modell Thank you!! RGB and ScRGB are two different color spaces. RGB is a subset of ScRGB. but the values that represents the colors in the color spaces are differet. If R = 1, then ScR is not equal to 1. The Color class in WPF has properties A,R,B,G (Alpha,Red,Blue,Green) which represents the color components of the RGB color space and properties for ScA, ScR ...Show All
