Is there any way to marshall the data (progress, completed) info, back to a WinForms assuring that my WinForm controls will be updated on the thread upon which they are created as to avoid CrossThreading issues.

• Windows Forms Another DataGridView Bug in VS.NET 2005

  Hello there, I think I've run into another bug within the DataGridView control. I've got some kind of bigger project here where I use DataGridView in several forms. But everywhere I use it, I can't get access to its properties. They simply aren't displayed. The property explorer remains empty when I select one of those DataGridViews. It seems to be a bug 'cos VS.NET crashes when I select the DataGridView via the DropDown list right above the property explorer. I can't continue my work if I won't be able to access the properties of my DataGridViews... so please, if there is anybody who can help... any kind of help would be greatly appreciate ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Customizing NavigationWindow and using Property Aliasing

  PROBLEM: The main window of my application will have 3 areas: 1) A header where there will be diferent controls such as links, menus, images, etc, besides a previous/next navigation button with customized appearance; 2) A footer with more controls on it; 3) A content area where different pages will be displayed. SOLUTION CONSIDERED: WindowsFX provides a build-in NavigationWindow that can be customized using ControlTemplate mechanism. It comes with a default Header (with buttons) and a page area. I decided it would be convenient to inherit from the NavigationWindow, define 2 DependencyProperties: one to hold a cont ...Show All

• Visual C# Attribute refuses cast

  Hi! Edited to rephrase question: The following code is driving me nuts! I am trying to read the IDEiconAttribute   from each class (e.g. ConsoleInput ) in a library. But, I cannot access the attribute (object) I retrieve as my IDEiconAttribute  , so I can't call the IDEiconAttribute. Icon property. It refuses to be cast to IDEiconAttribute , even though when I print out the type, the type is IDEClassLibraryNS. IDEiconAttribute. In fact, I get the bizzare message "cannot cast IDEClassLibraryNS. IDEiconAttribute to IDEClassLibraryNS. IDEiconAttribute". Why does this work (in my case)     obj ...Show All

• Visual C++ fstream issue in VS 2005

  Hi I had a project in VS 6.0 in which I was using fstream to get and put data into a file. After conversion to VS 2005 there is a problem with the fstream functions. I manage to open the stream once and read something from it, and then I close the stream and reopen it in binary mode and now the get operation returns an empty buffer. is.get( szBuf, 10000, '|' ); Maybe I'm doing something wrong and I would really appreciate your help because it's an important matter for me. Can you create a 10-line reproduction of the problem, along with simple instructions for creating the file, so one of us can take a closer look Thanks. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem building DLL project with VS 2005

  Hi. I had a fairly large project that I was developing with eVC++ (SP3). I used the handy conversion wizard to upgrade to VS 2005, and, for the most part, it worked nicely, with the exception of a few minor tweaks in the settings. However, I'm having a consistent problem that I can't seem to find any good advice on. Whenever I try to build, I get two errors (though the second is dependent on the first): error LNK2005: DllMain already defined in corelibc.lib(dllmain.obj) fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found This project built before the upgrade, so I'm assuming this is a setup issue.
