• Visual C++ Visual C++ 2005 compliance with The C++ Standard

  Despite a boat-load of documentation on Microsoft extensions to the C++ language, I have been unable to find a single page describing how VC++ 2005 differs from VC++ 2003 (7.1) with respect to the serious non-compliance issues that plagued users of VC++ 2003 (7.1). This document http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vclang/html/vclrfNonstandardBehavior.asp is available for Visual C++ 2003 (7.1). Does anyone know which, if any, of these non-compliance issues have been fixed in Visual C++ 2005 Is there an equivalent document for VC++ 2005 -- somewhere Something that says, in plain English, in what ways, if any, V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VB.net equivalent of "Selection"

  Hi I wanted to know what the VB.net (used in VSTO) equivalent of Selection is eg for Selection.Clearcontents Hi, I'm assuming you are refering to a VSTO Excel project   There are a couple of things you need to know about the Selection property.  First, that it is a property--it is a member of the Application class.  In Vba, Application members are part of the global namespace which is why you can refer to it without qualification.  Second, its return type is polymorphic; it can return a variety of different objects.  In .Net, this means that the declaration in the PIA will return an object type.&n ...Show All

• Visual Basic Loading Notepad as a Process

• Visual C# Forms datasets and folders

  I have a Windows project and would like to organize it a little better. It would be nice to have all my forms under a forms folder and datasets under a Datasets folder. I have tried doing things this way but have run into problems. Without me doing something different than what I am, my code does not always recognize these forms or datasets when they are in folders. Is this something that C# just doesn't like If so then I'll just have to get used to it. If not, what can I do to make my code recognize a form that is in a sub folder of the project. For example, this should work: AboutDlg3 dlg = new AboutDlg3 (); dlg.ShowDialog(); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Changing Dependency Properties from Code

  Hi guys, as I'm getting always the right answers here - I have another "simple" one. When I change a dependency property of an activity in code the WorkflowDesigner is not persisting it because it does not "realise" that the prop has changed. No matter if I do it directly like activityinstance.Property = "string"; or through activityinstance.SetValue(Activity.PropertyProperty, "string"); This is different if I change the settings through the UI using the Properties pane. Question is - what function or property will cause the WorkflowDesigner to persist the workflow definitions ...Show All
