• Windows Forms Removing a tooltip from a control

  How can one remove a toolrip from a control There are occasions when, having done a SetToolTip, I now don't want the tip to appear. There doesn't seems to be a RemoveToolTip(Control) functionality. Thanks Vikram - worked a treat. I was worried that it would show an empty box, in the over-literal way that computers tend to work. Now, let's hope that this gets into the documentation. ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies %s

  When entering a web address to search I get redirected by the %s that appears in the search bar. This only happens when using MSN. Not when searching from rogersyahoo. Thanks Hi thanks for responding. As an example only, if I search for "westjet" (without the quotations) using Google , which is my search engine in explorer, a window comes up with a list of over 10million web sites that are totally unrelated. In the address bar is the symbol %s not westjet. It doesn't seem to matter what I search for, the same thing happens. If I switch to RogersYahoo I don't have the same problem. It really ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Baseline existing violations using Visual Studio Team System

  I have a question regarding basline existing violations. In our organization we are migrating existing projects to VSTS and TFS. When we have done this we want to enable static analysis for our projects. The problem we have is that we don't have the resouces to fix violations in the old code. I have found a number of posts describing the posibillity of creating a baseline of violations and ony emitting warnings on new violations. What I can't find is a description how this is done using the VSTS environment. Could anyone point me in a direction where to look for more information in this matter. Regards, Christian ...Show All

  Is it possible to filter data in a measure group Do I have to create multiple cubes and data source views For example, I have a huge Fact table but I want to restrict certain rows base on the user.

• Visual Studio VS2005 breaks on unhandled exception in asynchronous code

  I am using BeginInvoke and EndInvoke on a delegate to call a function that throws an exception. There is no error handler in the delegate function, because I want to catch the exception when EndInvoke is called. This works fine with both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, but in VS2005 beta 2, the debugger breaks in when the exception is first thrown warning me that I have an exception that is unhandled by user code. Is there a way I can stop the debugger from breaking in in this scenario VS2003 did not do it, and in any case it is debatable whether the exception is in fact unhandled. The actual bug report number is FD ...Show All
