• Visual Basic Loading and showing a form in a Panel control

  Is it possible to load and display a form inside a panel control using Visual Basic 2005 and if so what code do I need to handle this. Regards Dipendra Hi. I don't think it will be possible. I tried to make a panel be the parent of a form and I received a huge exception. It doesn't sound logical to me to do that but as far as I tried it didn't work. What are you trying to do (if we can know of course) Are ...Show All

• Visual C++ Has anyone at Microsoft actually used VC++ Express B2?

  I haven't used Microsoft's Visual C++ since version 6. I've always thought Microsoft makes the best software development IDEs by far, but the compiler was extremely lacking. I figured I'd try Win32 GUI development again (I do mostly Unix or cross-platform non-GUI), so, 1) I downloaded Visual C++ Express Beta 2 and installed it. 2) It didn't compile anything successfully, including  "Hello, World" (See this thread for those looking for a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to get VSTS ?

  I have an MSDN subscription, which means I have the full VSTS IDE and server. I am about to start a project with someone on the other side of the world, and I was keen to use VSTS, to evaluate it's effectiveness, to (hopefully) better control our work flow, and so on. However, it seems to me that this guy will need to buy his own MSDN sub in order to get the VSTS IDE, there are no other options unless we buy 5 licences in bulk. Is this true Is V ...Show All
