I'm having an issue with the TreeView in Visual Studio 2008. I'm adding the TreeView to my form, loading it with data at runtime, and then the last object in the list ends up being farther down than the scroll bar will go. The only way to see this object is by opening up one of the other nodes and closing it. Does anyone know a way of...
It's a well-known bug that Visual Studio shows an error when you try to construct a FixedDocument in XAML. For example, the following snippet <DocumentViewer> <FixedDocument> <PageContent> <FixedPage Width="21.0cm" Height="29.7cm"> <TextBlock>Hello World!</TextBlock> </FixedPage> ...

Our TFS is divided to a "work in progress" directory and several branches of older versions. We made some major changes to the previous version and now we want to apply these changes to the current version. Now, the problem is that I don't see how it can be done easily: I can compare the two versions - but it doesn't let me copy the chan...
Hmmm. Okay after revisiting PInvoke, I'm sure that I don't quite get it :-/ (just asked this question) Let me illustrate the code I need to handle. It works when I use "Add Reference --> COM --> Microsoft Shell Controls and Automatation" ... but sadly it places a reference in my project that looks like this: "C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Visu...
On a project we are working on there is an SQLite.DLL file that we are linking which we need to link the correct version (32 or 64 bit) depending on the host operating system. If we link to the 32 bit version it will not run on a 64 bit system, and vice versa. Thus, how can we create a configuration that will cause the system to build th...
I am trying to rid my team's Visual Studio projects of "My Project" folders. None of my team is using custom settings or anything that would need to be stored in the "My Project" folder for any of our projects.

Hi, I have built a treeview control that lists the directory structure of any drive or folder. However, if you select a drive, or something with a large structure of folders and sub folders the control takes a long time to load and in some instances shows an MDA ContextSwitchDeadlock message. I have disabled the MDA deadlock error mes...
I am very "lucky" to get to work with a VB application that was originally written in vb6 with an old version of Mysql ODBC connector. The problem is i can't open the project in my copy of VS2008 because i don't have the needed file MyVbQl.DLL and i can't find it anywhere on the internet and also Mysql ODBC connector versions 3 and 5 do...

Whenever I start a new software project I spend a good amount of time at the beginning drawing class diagrams and other flow charts to plan out how I see the application working. This part just takes a lot of thinking and testing. But at a certain point when everything is planed out I don't need to think about it so much anymore I just n...
I have a Winforms app that was originally created in vs 2005 and that was converted to vs 2008. When running this app in Windows 7, the menus don't look like the standard menus in Windows 7 (i.e., the formatting for the menu items is different than the formatting for other applications). This applies to menus displayed on the menu bar ...

I've got my build showing errors in the right format so that you can click on them in VS but the one step remaining for completely seamless integration is to prevent VS's "run" or "debug" commands from whining the it doesn...
