Good Day, I am working with a WinForms application and I need to programatically determine the height of a ListView row. I am able to determine the height of the text using Graphics.MeasureString, but there's some padding above and below the text. I am not customizing each row, I just need the height. How would I go about doing tha...
Hi, I want to compile the beecrypt library under VS2008. But several of the below structures produce a syntax error (C2059 syntax error: '.'): const hashFunction md5 = { .name = "MD5", .paramsize = sizeof(md5Param), .blocksize = 64, .digestsize = 16, .reset = (hashFunctionReset) md5Reset, .update = (hashFunctionUpdate) md5Update, .diges...
If there is a URL in a source file comment, I can "CTRL + click to follow link." However, when I do this, the link opens inside Visual Studio. How can I make it open in my web browser--in my case, Google Chrome? ...
Hello. I have the following code on a control of my own: MethodInvoker _mi; public MethodInvoker MI { get { return _mi; } set { _mi = value; } } I thought the IDE would recognize this delegate, and allow me to choose a suitable already implemented function or create a new one if I wanted, just like it does to events, although at least...
I am relatively new to VS and C# but have years of experience in Delphi. One of the my favorite components when designing GUI in Delphi is ActionManager - centralized way to assign event handlers for actions as well as enabling/disabling them. Surprisingly, I can't find anything like this in Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I am sure t...
I liked the grid points and the visible separation of the header/body/footer of the report on the design surface or vs2005. I hate the vs2008 report designer which is just a blank canvas with no grid lines/points and separation of header/body/footer... ...

I'm interested in doing a bit of code-generation based on certain files being present in the .csproj. What extensibility methods are available to me that I could generate a .cs file that would be compiled along with my project? Caveat: I immediately thought of using T4 templates for the task. However, this solution must be supportable...
I have a native C Dll that calls 'LoadLibrary' to load another Dll that has the /clr flag turned on. I then use 'GetProcAddress' to get a function and call it on dynamically loaded dll. I would like to step into the dynamic library in the debugger, but the symbols never load. Any idea? And I should have said I'm using Visual Studio 2...
Hi guys I'm pretty aware that Visual Studio 2010 works with C# 4.0. But now I was wandering if I'm able to test C# 4.0 features with Visual Studio 2008. I did that one time, using C# 3.0 with Visual Studio 2005 hacking the app.config file. Did anyone have any success using C# 4.0 in VS2008? I've installed Net Framework 4.0 beta, rebo...
Edit: Creating a new module in the same VSMacros project fixed the problem. The following macro only works if I open the Macro IDE from Visual Studio and run the macro from there. It'd be much more useful if I could just right click the macro from the Macro Explorer from my Visual Studio instance. I must be doing something obviously...
I have a really small app that I put together in VS 2008 Express to try out .NET development for the first time. I want to send it to a couple of friends, however when I installed this on a second computer it went and downloaded the whole .NET 3.5 runtime, and I don't wish to force anyone to do this. My mistake as the default setting ta...
I have two projects in a Visual Studio solution. I need an application setting in one of them to be the version number of the other project's assembly. I thought of adding to my project1's app.config something like: <setting name="currentVersion" serializeAs="String"> <value> !(bind.project2.Assembly.FileVersion) </value> </set...
For brevity purposes, this post relates to ambiguous references in a Silverlight Page.XAML.CS file, whose project contains a service reference to a WCF service and a MyClass.cs file added as a 'link'. The Solution contains the Silverlight Project and a Web Project that contains a WCF service and a MyClass.cs file (along with the aspx fil...
Is there any way to hack visual studio so that it displays the line numbers in smaller font size like the way Notepad++ does? I'm using Consolas at size 12 and the line numbers just look so ugly. Thanks. ...
Is there a way in Visual Studio (any version) to embed the content of a file in another file upon compiling? For instance, if one wanted to embed an xml file in a vb code file how would it best be done? ...
I have a pretty complex UI with hundreds of control/label on it. I want to set tabstop value as false for each label as below //in MyForm.designer.cs Label myLabel; private void InitializeComponent() { this.myLabel = new Label(); this.myLabel.TabIndex = 1; ... } // in MyForm.cs this.myLabel.TabStop = false; But it is not work...
I have a library project that has some content files (e.g., XML and schema files, image files, etc.) all with Build Action set to Content (copy always). This library project lives in a Visual Studio solution that also has a test application (WPF) that references the library. When I build the solution, all the content files from the dep...
