My Employer gave me a MSDN License, not that I asked for it. I have been programming in the Java world all these years and on C++ in Linux. I am wondering what all I can do with this License, considering that I don't work on Dot Net ?? :-( ...
Often when I find an article in the SQL Server BOL I see that the article has an address of ms-help:// but I can't forward this "uri" to a colleague who doesn't have the Sql Server BOL --- so the question is is there a consistent mapping between ms-help:// and http://msdn.microsoft.com ...
I am trying to get the name of the winstation (for example "winsta0") that a separate process has opened using only its Process ID. I can't find anything that does this on MSDN. They only seem to have GetProcessWindowStation() which only works for your own process. Any ideas? UPDATE: Maybe this is part of the puzzle... BOOL ProcessId...
What does this from General Recommandation #3 mean? Don't control the execution of worker threads from your main program (using events, for example). Instead, design your program so that worker threads are responsible for waiting until work is available, executing it, and notifying other parts of your program when finis...

They are not fixed like others Javascript tree menu. But I am not sure, I just have doubt, is it true that the paragraph in Tree Menu of MSDN library is store in the dat...
The local help in Visual Studio 2005 never comes back with anything. Also, if I'm not connected to the Internet, of course I get nothing. When I run dexplore eventually it takes 100% of cpu. Also, the F1 help doesn't work (of course). I've repaired both VS 2005, MSDN in other orders. Any help will be appreciated! THanks -tim ...
I've heard about the Microsoft Action Pack, to get Microsoft licenses for a cheaper price. How do I enroll in this program? Do I need to associate myself to a Microsoft Partner to be able to subscribe to the Action Pack? Thanks ...

This is a XAML code sample taken from the MSDN library article for the ItemsControl.ItemTemplate property: <ListBox Width="400" Margin="10" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource myTodoList}}"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=TaskName}" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Descripti...
We are moving from Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 to Microsoft Development Environment 2003. In Visual Studio 6.0, the location of the file will be displayed if you go to the workspace, go to the FileView tab, right click on any file and select Properties. The full path of the file is displayed under File name. However, in 2003, the file ...
I have several projects, some using managed code and some using only unmanaged. All have the XML comments have been added and the XML documentation is being generated correctly (the generated xml file and intermediate the xdc files). Surely there's something that can take these files (the output of xdcmake) and generate MSDN style chm h...
I'm writing an array wrapper class that implements IList<T>. I’m unsure of what to return for IList<T>.IsReadOnly (inherited from ICollection<T>), though. My class disallows insertion and removal. It does allow modifying items via the this[int].set property. The MSDN states that A collection that is read-only does not allow the add...

Originally I was linked to this call so I could log all access to a certain file and capture all the changes to it. I have worked through several examples and have failed. Even the MSDN code doesn't compile for me. Can someone provide me with a small working snippet to monitor a file and record changes? Or at least some pointers? Th...
At the company i develop, developers typically run databases on their laptops. We also have an instance of a SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 servers running as virtual machines, under an MSDN license. I am not a MSDN guru and not really familiar with the ins-and-outs of MSDN, so the my questions are as follows. Would each develope...
Couple of customers are still using Visual Interdev and VS.net 2003. Now the only way i know to get those editors is by having a msdn premium subscription. Wanted to check can a MSDN professional subscription also get me older VS softwares? -Paritosh ...
Reading from MSDN: "A delegate is a type that references a method. Once a delegate is assigned a method, it behaves exactly like that method." Does then "delegate" mean a type or an object?! ...It cannot be both. It seems to me that the single word is used in two different meanings: a type containing a reference to a method of some s...
The Short Version: I want a single, comprehensive MSDN Library, up-to-date and integrated with F1 help in all Microsoft development tools. The Long Version: There are at least three products that want to install documentation on my workstation: Visual Studio 2008 wants to install MSDN Library. SQL Server 2008 wants to install Books ...
Hi, usually my employer purchases an MSDN subscription per developer, which allows the developers to install things like visual studio at home (provided all the license restrictions are obeyed etc). However now my employer is a Microsoft Gold Partner, and we don't seem to have our own MSDN subscriptions any more. I have tried to read an...
