• Visual Basic A Tough One

  ok, I don't know quite how to explain this, but I will try. I want to make a program that essentially logs what files the computer accesses, and when they are accessed. Does this make any sense for example: if you are playing a computer game, and a sound is played, a file is accessed. I want to know what fille is accessed, and the exact time it is accessed. That is the simplest way I can explain it. does anyone understand this --redcrusher FileSystemWatcher does not have a hook for "accessed". I would recommend using a third party tool if all you are interested in is watching these events. Check out ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Erroneous "Avoid unused private fields"

• Visual Basic Detect Internet Connection - VS 2005 BETA 2

  Hi, I am using VS 2005 - BETA 2. I'd like to use My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable to detect whether an internet connection is available. Is this the best "new" way of doing things or does the above method above detect network connectivity of some other type There seems to be a delay capturing the disconnect-connect events when I do use it, is there a way to shorten this delay In essence, what does this method wrap   Can I use it to properly detect an internet, not a network connection Regards, Giovanni P. This seems unusal in my experience with the classes that I've worked with. If the net isn't avail ...Show All

• .NET Development Framework 2.0 breaks app, supportedRuntime does not fix

  Original Environment Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 1.0.3705 1.1.4322 Application written using VS.NET 2003 and 1.1.4322. Application calls unmanaged code. Everything works. Breaking Change One change was made, installation of 2.0.50727. It was expected (hoped ) this would not affect a 1.1 application. Details of unsuccessful workaround Added this to the application's config file: < startup >    < supportedRuntime version =" v1.1.4322 " /> </ startup > This workaround was an attempt to have the application ignore the 2.0 framework. It did not work, the same error occurred as before. Deinstalling the 2.0 fra ...Show All

  What is the optimal way to convert all the solution files from 1.1 framework to 2.0 framework  I migrated a lot of project's from vs 2003 to vs 2005 so far with no probleme, except for a application that consumes a web service.  You only use the open project, and the conversion manager does all the work for you, any errors are raported back to you in a log.

• Visual Studio Team System Command line itemspec (sometimes at beginning; sometimes at the end)

  There seems to be no ryhme or reason as to where the itemspec/filespec shows up in a command line.  Some command line LOCK want it at the beginning and others like UNDO want it at the end.  Does it matter   If so, how about picking one and sticking with it.  :-) Arghh!  Now I can't repro it.  Something weird must have happened.  If I see this again, I'll post and hopefully it will be reproducible. ...Show All

  Hi, I'm developing an application that show document information in a Task Pane. I did it with a VSTO but I have the problem that this solution only applies to one document, but i need the application loads for every word and excel document opened. How is the best way to solve this situation 1- Create directly a shared add-in that handles events related with Open/Close/New Documents and show the Task Pane 2 - Leave the VSTO solution and create an Add-in that handling the same events only change the properties assemblyLocation and assemblyName of the document to attach the VSTO dll 3 - Your idea here :-) Regards, J ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListView.Update() blocking the app?

  Hello, I have a listview with largeIcons. The imagelist is filled in a separate thread which works quite well but after setting the items imageindex to the correct index of the image in the LargeImagelist I call myListView.Update() right after invalidating the image. This causes the images to be drawn as they are rendered but this Update() call blocks the entire app as long as the update takes place. How can I change my code to not provoke a blocking of the application Greetz Sven. Take out the update statement. Update causes all pending paint messages to be processed.
