• Windows Forms Abort Startup, when Error occurs in Me.Startup

  I am using the ApplicationEvents to prepare global data for my Windows Forms application. If I have a critical error during this startup, I want to shut the application down. I can use the e.Cancel = True, to stop the main form for opening. But I can find what command I can call on the My.Application object, that will force it to start to shut down. I know it is going to be something silly simple, but I am just drawing a blank. Thanks After I set e.Cancel = True; the Startup SplashScreen stays up. I take it that I must specifically close the Startup SplashScreen then.... (Yester ...Show All

• .NET Development XML serializer does not serialize values of properties if value contains only spaces

  Hi all, I have a field of type string in a type that is serialized to XML. If the field value is just one space, the resulting XML is this: <FieldName /> This creates an issue with deserializing, because in the context of the application, " " is not equal to string.Empty. I've looked for options on the serializer, and for serialization attributes that would control this behavior, but I could not find any. Any help is appreciated. SA. [Edit: changed subject to be more accurate description of the problem.] Please, consider that XML "normalize" whitespaces in the attribute ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trap Errors from SS label command line calls

  We use Command line batch files to do automated builds.  We have seen several issues lately where there is an error while running the SS Label command. Is there a way to check the errorlevel returned from the ss label command and cause the build to fail if the label is not applied. Here is a recent example: SS label $/A/B -l6.3.1209 -i- Comment for $/A/B: PCS_NEWDEV_V6 File \\server\share\data\v\vodaaaaa is already open We do have an "If errorlevel 1 goto failed" after the ss label command, but this is not working.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Unable to rebuild my project

  Hi, I've produced a C# automation addin for Excel and all works well. However, I'd like to be able to recompile the addin without closing Excel and reloading the addin.
