• .NET Development Error when executing Process.Start() when running under SYSTEM account.

  I have an ASP.Net page using the System.Diagnostics.Process class to execute an Excel file with no arguments, I/O redirection, or direct impersonation. I have setup the web app to run under the SYSTEM (Local System) account via an Application Pool in IIS 6.0. The Excel file has a macro that will run automatically when opened. The web page is actually going to start a ProComm session, executing a script, to telnet to various telcom exuipment and gather info then call. Once the ProComm script has gathered all info it calls the same Excel file. The ASP.Net page needs to run under the SYSTEM account to allow the ProComm process to interact with ...Show All

• Visual C++ Child dialog of a dialog app - why won't focus pass and why are they not talking??

     This is so simple yet is driving me crazy. All I want to do is to open a child dialog from within a dialog based app, enter some figures into the child, total them and pass the total back to the parent dialog. I can get the child dialog to appear, but can't get it to total or pass back to the parent. Any help would be much appreciated....... Apologies to mod if this is not the correct place to post.... This is a little short on details for anyone to really take a stab at helping you. Can you add what exactly you tried and in exactly which way it failed A small repro case would be great. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I love DLinq. Really need n-tier support though.

  In section 7.4 of the DLinq guide it mentions that that's something you guys are looking at. Do you guys have an idea if that functionality will get in there before the product is given the green light to go-live Since most apps these days are designed as SOA, there will need to be a distributed notification mechanism. Thanks CZ The type of n-tier support we have for DLinq is simply an API that allows you to introduce objects to a new context after they have been round-tripped across the tiers. You still have to move the objects or data across the tiers yourself, and you have to figure out how to squirrel aw ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic Install Error - Document Explorer "Unknown Error"

  Hello. I have tried installing Visual Basic Express Beta 2 numerous times (I have removed all the programs from the Beta 1 version), and the Install does complete, but two error messages appear during setup, both with the text "Unknown Error." (no error numbers; the first is titled "Microsoft Document Explorer" and the second is titled "Microsoft Visual Basic Express Edition Beta 2"), which the installer seems to take no notice of. The same message appears when trying to launch Visual Basic Express Beta 2 (only one error, with the title being "Microsoft Visual Basic Express Edition Beta 2", like the second error encountered during ...Show All

• Windows Forms Odd ComboBox behaviour

  Hi, I'm getting a strange behaviour with a ComboBox control, I'll try to make the situation clear: I have a DataTable, wich is correctly filled by a SqlDataAdapter, used as DataSource for my ComboBox. I correctly set the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties and the ComboBox displays and it also returns the correct value after the user has clicked on it. The problem lies here: I need to set the SelectedValue property before the user can do any interaction (I have to display a specific name) but before the ComboBox has been clicked, no matter what I do, the SelectedValue has always a null value!!! I even tried something like: c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Tests and Nightly Build

  Using VSTS for Developers. I have a solution with a test project for my unit tests.
