• Visual Studio Where's the MSBuild Project Type?

  There's a Makefile project in the VC project system which is handy for integrating old (non-VC) stuff into Visual Studio.  I would like to the MSBuild equivalent.  That way, I could move the old stuff over the MSBuild files.  I would then expect the integration with VS to be at least as good as it is with makefiles (if not somewhat better - files in item groups would just show up in the project). Yep, that was the solution I was going to suggest We actually use such a task internally in the build process for parts of Visual Studio itself. It just hasn't been cleaned up for shipping.

• .NET Development Serializing an Array

  Ive been trying for 3 hours to try and serialize an array.  First as an Arraylist, then converting the arraylist to a normal array then serializing.  Actually the serializing seems to look OK, all the data is in the file as it should be *i think*, but the deserializing is causing problems. ACProfileData is a class that contains properties, strings, ints, etc. xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ACProfileData[])); sw = new StreamWriter(AppSettings.appPath + "\\aircraft.xml"); ACProfileData[] array = (ACProfileData[])Aircraft.ToArray(typeof(ACProfileData)); xml.Serialize(sw, array); sw.Close(); xml = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ACProfile ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form Clicks etc

  Hi Everyone, I forgot to ask this question... is there a way to set clickable areas of the form without a picturebox or button If there is, how do you find out or determine where on the screen the pointer is when you set up the points I tried to turn the GRID feature on but it never works. I'm using a map as a FORM background, but the pix boxes are slow to load when the form is called. Thanks again, Elgee El Gee wrote: I tried to turn the GRID feature on but it never works.

• .NET Development Compiling for CLR1.1 in VS2005

  Hi guys, First off apologies if this is the wrong group - I've spent some time searching both with google and MSDN for a solution to my problem, but have had no joy, and this group seems the most appropriate. I'm working on a Visual Studio AddIn.  I'm moving up from VS2003 to suport VS2005, and as such I'm now building from within the VS2005 IDE.  After a reasonable amount of work I now have the AddIn working in VS2005.  However, it no longer loads into previous versions of Visual Studio; and as far as I can tell this is due to VS2003 not being able to host CLR2 addins (the error I get is ' First chance exception 0xE0434F4D (U ...Show All

• .NET Development Dynamic AppDomains

  I have an application that uses the FileSystemWatcher to monitor for the "drop" of certain files in a folder.  Custom actions are then executed based on the file name, size, etc. This application can listen for an unlimited number of files and therefore, runs an unlimitede number of threads that implement the FileSystemWatcher. However, if a critical error occurs one of these threads, the whole app crashes. Is there a way I can create an AppDomain (therefore, another process) for each file listener   I guess I am trying to simulate what IIS6 does when you add an applications to different ApplicationPools so that the crash of one wi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Invalidate() - NotSupportedException

  using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 / Compact Framework 2.0 I simply call Invalidate from a method within my Form and i get this -> "An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll Additional information: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found" Any idea Hi Adiraz, Note that SerialPort events are handled by a ThreadPool thread so if you need to update any properties for a GUI control, you would need to use Control.Invoke() instead of setting them directly.

• Windows Forms How form resizing works?

  I have been searching a document about form resizing and anchoring. I want to learn logic for them and what is happening internally. Do you have any document suggestion I searched in a lot of web sites. but I couldn't find my answer.. with best regards... As far as resizing goes, I don't think there is much internally going on. Of course when form is created, it is given a height and width. When you resize, all it is doing is automatically changing the height and width for you, so you dont have to go in and manually enter in the new values. As far as anchoring goes, I'm sure it's just doing something alon ...Show All
