Visual Studio 2005 Windows Forms has some new extended provider components that allow ToolTips and validation error messages to be assigned to individual controls, but the process requires a fair amount of developer time in large projects. A better way is to automate the process to make the ToolTips and validation rules table driven so that non-developers (QA, Support, and even end users) can make changes easily and extend the Binding Source component to attach them to a form....

Before all, this is my very first contribution (and it is NOT a classic application!) and I want to take advantage to thanks many of you that are helping so much the development. I will try hard to write down something useful in the near future, but at the moment I only drop this issue... Today I have found a dirty bug in the Visual Studio 2008 Sp1 IDE or, at least, in the Visual C# Express since I am using it. The problem itself is tricky, because the (really useful) Intellisense tip showing th...

A Global Positioning System (GPS) device captures lots of interesting information that can be used in many ways. This article presents a custom application built with Visual Basic that collects data from a GPS satellite and charts the course of a user relative to the satellite. Such an application is obviously well suited for use on a handheld PC and porting the original application to eMbedded Visual Basic for Windows CE is described. The differences between Visual Basic and eMbedded Visual Bas...

This tool is a simple search utility I developed to search all my source code, regardless of language. The tool integrates with Visual Studio 2008 so you can kickoff a search while writing code. The utility will search any directory for files that match the extensions specified and it will match search strings (supports Regular Expressions) inside the matched files. Results are presented in a clean treeview format and allows you to take various actions with the results....

Any time an upgrade of a favorite tool is released, questions about compatibility, versioning, and changes in methodology abound. The release of Visual Studio .NET 2003 is no exception. Developers will be relieved to learn that breaking changes have been kept to a minimum, and delighted to learn that important new features, like Visual J#, have been added. These and other new features of the .NET Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio .NET 2003, including mobile support and improved debugging, are disc...

When building the UI for a Web app, one of the first items of business is designing the overall structure of the Web site, which includes all site navigation. Navigation controls are typically placed on the left or along the top of Web pages and might include the increasingly popular breadcrumb navigation (which shows the path the user has walked through), creating an overall menu system. To implement navigation, there are several technologies available, but they are often too labor-intensive fo...

In Visual Studio® 2005, when I create a new Visual C# Project from the File menu, I don't see the template ASP.NET Web Application in the template window. If I choose to create a new Web site following the menu path Files | New | Website | General C# and I choose the template ASP.NET Web site, I'm missing many files such as Webform1.aspx.cs, Global.asax, Web.config, AssemblyInfo.cs, and so forth. Why is this happening?...

Iset out to write this article about Visual Basic® 2005, but that left too many things to choose from. I could wander through the entire feature list, giving you a bit of information on cool IDE features like Edit and Continue, IntelliSense® Code Snippets, or the Exception Assistant; skim over the advanced language enhancements like generics, partial classes, and unsigned types; and barely touch on all the cool Microsoft® .NET Framework enhancements around Windows® Forms, data binding, ClickOnce...

One of the features that distinguishes Visual Basic® from the other languages in Visual Studio® is its use of a background compiler (BC). The BC runs from the moment you start up a Visual Basic project until the time you close the last one down. Whenever you type in a line of code and commit it, the BC picks up the change and compiles it, adding the resulting information to the internal representation of the application you're building. The BC reacts to external changes as well, keeping its comp...
