• Windows Forms ZOrder of dropped control incorrect?

  I'm using VS 2005 Beta 2, and I've built a usercontrol that consists of 2 other user controls as the 'default base'.  The problem is when a user drops a control in my container control, it goes BEHIND the background image control!  I can manually correct this by doing a "Bring to Front" to the newly placed control, but I need it to automatically be on top, and not allow the user to move it behind the main graphic control. Any ideas or recommendations Thanks! Is the control used at design time or at run-time . If the control have a designer behavior, you need set its Parent property to the DesignerHost's RootComponent (Se ...Show All

• Visual C++ Err: Attempted to read or write protected memory - only in VS2005, works fine in VS2003

  Hi all I am wrapping an unmanaged c++ win32 dll functions (  export naming decration is c++ ) into a managed c++ dll using IJW. While calling the managed wrapper from C#,  it crashes at line where I call the unmanaged function and saying the error "Attempted to read or write protected memory.

• Visual Studio Team System Using Unit Tests to drive the Profiler

  I have several operations that take a long time, and I'm trying to determine what exactly the bottleneck is. I have created tests using the testing infrastructure that allow me to run the same operation over and over, so I can see trends in how long the operation is taking. What I really want to do is have the Profiler run while the Tests are running, so that I can figure out what portions of the code are taking a long time. So far, I can't figure out how to do this.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Audio device mapping

  The mapping of kernel streaming WDM audio devices to waveOut, waveIn and mixer devices appears to be quite different to previous versions of Windows, and is causing problems with multichannel sound cards. Each output pin seems to map to a waveOut device named only by the pin type (for example "Speakers"), each input pin on each input miniport seems to map to a waveIn device, again named only by the pin type, and all the topology miniports created by a multichannel card are lumped into a single mixer device. This is going to cause great difficulty for application software that needs to be able to find its way around the various outp ...Show All

  need information about 1. how the remote login can be accomplished in Windows Vista if it is being disallowed. With the advent of Windows vista, it seems that the remote Registry service is disabled by default and a local policy is set to disallow administrators to login remotely – when vista is a part of workgroup. This effectively means that each computer has to be reconfigured mainly, defeating the benefits provided by the remote deployment methods. Thanks in advance ...Show All

• .NET Development problem with dataset in combobox

  I am creating a dataset from two tables. the combobox datasource is set to this dataset. but when I try to set the displaymember and valuemember properties, the drop down window is not displaying any column names. only "none" is available. If I use only one table, the columns of the table gets displyed properly. why I am not able to view the columns in two tables together Hi, Ok, tried it and it displayed none. Actually, what your datasource here is not really a dataset object, instead a BindingSource object. I don't really know if the combobox supports this at runtime. What I did was drag a DataSet object ...Show All
