• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) intellisense issue

  the toArray and toList methods on sequences does not show up with intellisense var foo = new int [] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; foo.Where(x => x % 2 == 0). ToArray (); foo. ToList ();         We disabled that feature for the LINQ preview because it would tend to interfere too much with what you were typing (since we really don't have a good understanding of LINQ code). You can re-enable it by going to: Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# | IntelliSense | Show completion list after a character is typed. -- Cyrus (http://blogs.msdn.com/cyrusn) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can the Perf counter "PhysicalDisk: % Disk Time" be greater than 100

  I had used PerfMon to collect "Physical Disk:%Disk Time" for my perf-run. "Physical Disk:%Disk Time" is the percentage of elapsed time that the selected disk drive was busy servicing a read or write request. Can this value be greater than 100. I see the following values in perfmon log ie (103.4638,175.2998,100.3468) etc. Thanks, JReddy Yes, strange but true.

• .NET Development Weird IsDbNull issue with MSSQL/ADO.NET

  Hi, I have a problem selecting date-columns from a user defined function in MSSQL, in short: When I do a SELECT on a table, my datareader returns the correct date (IsDbNull returns false). When I wrap the above table in a userdefined function, my datareader returns NULL (IsDbNull returns true). When I wrap the above function in a view, my datareader returns the correct date again (IsDbNull returns false). The error occured after I upgraded to VS 2005 Beta 2 (.NET v. 2), everything works fine in VS 2003 (.NET v. 1.1). Has anyone else observed this   Hi again, Me bad ... after some more investigation, it seems that i was a lit ...Show All

• .NET Development holland culture

  Hi , Can any one of you please specify the culture which should be used for Holland. I used nl-NL. With this if I want to add a minus figure to some number it gives the minus sign after the value. eg 200,00  10,00- Please note that this is not to minus 10 from 200 but to add "minus 10 " to 200. I think according to holland this "-" sign should come infront of 10. Can any one please specify why this is coming behind the 10... Thank in advance Bim Culture-based format strings are controlled from  Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel . For the Dutch culture, the minus sign is indeed a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Combo box control

  Does .NET2.0 support a Combo box control with a provision to increase its height and aligning the text in vertical fashion I have used the ComboBoxRenderer class and a list box to simulate the behavior specified as in point.1.

When the parent control’s height is smaller than the height required to display all the list box items without a scroll bar, then the list box is getting cropped in the bottom. Not able to place the cursor in the textbox control associated with the Combo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting raw visibility of a control not based on parent form visibility.

  Hi all I'm struggling with this one but hopefully its simple. I need to get the "raw" visibility of a control irrespective of whether the parent Form is visible or not. As far as I can tell, looking at the Visible property of a control will always return false if the parent Form isn't visible. Regards Jero That's how Window Manager does it; it checks the parent and child is visible (with WS_VISIBLE flag set). The same also applies to IsWindowVisible API function. If you want to get the "raw" visibility of a control, then I suggest you need to extract the styles of the control, and check ...Show All
