if this is not the right area to be posting this. I couldn't find an area dedicated to discussion about IDE features.Somehow one of my .vb files is not showing the nice formatting that is default in VS2008, such as the text colors, etc. how I can get this back? I don't know what to search for, as I don't know what its actually called. On the left you see what I want, and on the right you see what I have right now.

Does anyone else wrestle with getting VB.NET Linq code formatted the way they want it in Visual Studio? What are some tricks you have for how do you deal with it? I know that Visual Studio lets you uncheck the option for "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code", but most of the time it's a really handy setting to keep on. And with a team of developers who could have other settings, that's not really a viable solution. So my questions are:How have you dealt with formatting multiline Linq statements in VB without fighting with Visual Studio's code formatting?Is there a particular style guide for Linq in VB.NET that is recommended? Something that is readable, and that Visual Studio likes without the reformatting nightmares? My original question may not have had the clarity I desired. Here's a more concrete example. [code]
Everything is all nicely formatted and lined up, but any changes to the query result in Visual Studio borking the formatting and only an immediate CTRL-Z will stop it. Which is fine if there's a standard way that VS would like to see multiline Linq formatted, but if not, then the constant reformatting VS tries makes no sense. I'm trying to see if I missed some standard or how others in the community deal with this effectively. (BTW - using tabs instead of spaces for indents.
I have a windows application that displays a multi-line message box to the user during the course of the program.This particular application is run on various machines running either XP, Vista, or Windows 7.When the application is run on an XP box, the formatting of the Messagebox looks great. When the program is run on a Vista or Windows 7 machine, the text in the messagebox is eschew and the formatting looks sloppy.Is there a way in Visual Studio to ensure the formatting of text in Messageboxes is consistant between XP and Vista/Win 7?

View 2 RepliesI'm try to come up with a way for a user to enter a date and time into a textbox and for that value to be saved as a datetime variable back into a database. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a clever way to restrict what values a the user can enter so that the datetime datatype isn't corrupted. I've been playing around with the date time picker but I cannot seem to get that to work for me. I'd like the user to either pick the date and time from a picker and save that into a variable. Or I've seen applications where the textbox will automatically have a formatting type of template that makes it hard for the user to enter an invalid date and time.

View 2 RepliesI have a Visual Basic project and when working and modifying code, the compiler will crash and then a message will say something like "Microsoft visual studio encountered a problem and was shut down." I've tried editing code from the solution and the project. Both produce the error. Usually occurs when adding an "IF...Then..." condition. May work for hours but then crash. Solution will compile and build.
View 3 RepliesI've a solution with 15 projects (14 class libraries and one web application). Each class library has corresponding test project (i.e. if I have MyApp.Services project there exists MyApp.Services.Tests -- using NUnit). Everything is written in VB.NET. The problem is that when VS tries to compile any of *.Tests project it stops responding (the bigger the project the longer the period without reposnse). I don't know where to start looking for an issue. I'll add that I've R# 4.5 installed.
UPDATE 1:Is there any way to benchmark a build in visual studio? To get build times for every project?
UPDATE 2:It seems that there is no difference after disabling R#.
I am switching from Winforms to WPF in April. I am also going to be in attendance at the Visual Studio Launch in Las Vegas.I have a real need to get up to speed quickly in WPF, so What sessions are going to be the best use of my time?I've got some picked out already, but I'm looking for some more advice on how to wade through all the marketing fluff and get some real educational value out of these few days. I have not been to one of these events before, so I don't really know how much is marketing hype, and how much is solid content/A couple of the workshops look interesting (VPR02 and VPS02), but I don't know enough about the actual content of these to justify the extra expense right now. I do have WPF learning planned other than just these few days in Vegas, but since I'm going to be there anyway, I want to learn as much as I can in the time available.

View 5 Replieshave a really annoying VB 2008 problem and I'm hoping someone knows how to solve this. I implement the following code:
Code:
DispArrDate = MonthArr & "/" & DayArr & "/" & YearArr
DisplayArrDate.Text = DispArrDate.ToLongDateString
So basically, I'm getting date information from the user and trying to convert it into a date format, and show it to the user in a text box which is obviously named "DisplayArrDate", and "DispArrDate" is a date variable and "MonthArr" & "DayArr" & "YearArr" are strings which are always numbers because they are selected from a drop down combo box.
Now, the code works perfectly on my computer and some others, but for some unknown reason, on some computers, even if they have the same local date settings, it gives me the error: "Conversion from string "4/13/2009" to type 'Date' is not valid.", that's just one example, where "13" is obviously the day. I use the month/day/year format because, in the toturial I'm reading, it tells me, that no matter my local date settings, when using VB 2008, the month/day/year format should always be used and it will display a date in the local format automatically. It seems that on some computers, this isn't the case, and the month/day format is creating errors.
formating a date here
Dim dt As DateTime
dt = dsTitles.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("servicedate")
lbldate.Text = Format(dt, "dd/mm/yy HH:MM")
The original date is - 19/08/2008 00:00:00
the date that variable dt gets is - #8/19/2008#
the final result is - 19/00/08 00:08

I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.
I have a component which hooks up with the paint event of assigned control and draws on its surface, Whenever i make any changes to the component i need to resize the form or control at design time in order to see the changes.
I want to ask if there is any other way to refresh the contents of a control at design time which forces it to redraw.
