Found a bug in Visual Studio.Net 2003

[scorpion]

While designing GUI for FXFisherman Server, I found a bug in Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2003. At first, I thought I did something wrong myself as context menu went gray quite often. I just realised that it was a bug from this webpage complaining about the same problem.

I've attached two screenshots. First one was taken when the bug took effect, and the second one was taken after I workaround the bug by reopen the form designer.

It's very frustrating that I have to close and reopen the designer again and again.

If you have not already found a fix or a work around for the problem, how much will this bug effect things? Can you do a button instead of a menu item?

I have a thought to speed up testing, have a very simple (maybe even text) interface, and after things are going well then do a GUI. If nothing else trade the system yourself, so you make money and then can spend more time on the server client system. (I hope this comment is not taken negitavly, but if you have a system that makes money, why don't you trade it?)

Well, I prefer GUI at first since I am not fimilair with commandline interface. It's easier for me to debug and get status of every component at once without typing lines of texts.

Okay, I guess I grew up on text, so I feel it still has a place in the world.

Actually, commandline interface best suit with server application like fxfisherman server as it's faster to do telnet with text than remote desktop with graphic.

Thanks! Good suggestion.

Glad I could help. Speed is a great thing for servers.
