Have any of you experienced this odd behavior This has also happened in other apps in W2K, and XP Pro as well. Thanks All! Elgee I have seen someth ...Show All

• Smart Device Development #Define Replacement (C++) in C#/NETCF

  I'm used to the world of C++/C where i had access to #define. This was great, as I could define a keyword during development, and this keyword would be overwritten with an actual value at compile time. I notice c# doesn't have this (for obvious reasons), however, what is the recommended replacement I understand that I can use a constant (within a single file), however I'm working in multiple files. Should I use a constant within a singl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug: using a bool property in WHERE doesn't always work

  Hi, I think I've found a bug in the DLINQ expression tree-to-SQL mapper. It's an obvious enough one so I guess you've already fixed it, but I want to make sure it doesn't continue to bug me in the next release . The third sample from 101 LINQ samples, when the condition "!p.Discontinued" is changed into "p.Discontinued", produces a strange SQL like "CONVERT(Predicate,[t0].[Discontinued])". It does work when &q ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why new items don't appear once the listview is sorted?

  I defined a class that inherits from ListCollectionView and calls OnCollectionChanged whenever the underlying list changed. Then I created a listview and set its ItemsSource to be bound to an instance of my custom ListCollectionView. When a new item is added to the underlying list, ListCollectionView.OnCollectionChanged is called and the new item is displayed in the listview. Then I implemented sort, using the usual mechanism - not th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is it possible to generate a single setup file?

  I created a deployment project for deploying to the desktop. The project generates two files: setup.exe and the .msi file. Is it possible to get VS to generate just a single executable file rather than two files Or, would I need to go with a third-party installer A single executable setup file would make distributing the setup via a website easier as the user would only have to download a single file, or not have to deal with unzipping a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Feb 2006 - CTP and WCF Lab 1 issue with the 5th example

  I have been going through the WCF Lab 1 demo. I have been able to get all the demos working except for the 5th one. I get the error below. This Lab 1 really was awesome putting all the parts together for a person new to WCF. Plus I am more of a sysadmin than a coder that would implement this into an appliation.
