• Visual C# proxy problem

  Hi all, VS 2003, windows application that uses Internet. I create an application to merge pdf files downloaded from Internet (which give me one file for one page). I'm behind a proxy server. The problem is: when i request a file, the web site creates a temporary file with the page (xxxx.pdf, where pdf are numbers). So these files are also on proxy server and sometimes i have some error because (i think) the page is got from proxy server. How can avoid this problem Turning off the cache of proxy Or from code (c#) Thx   manuel0081 wrote: Is it possible also not cache file from a particular site... This high ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce with programmatic updates only

  Hi, I want to deply a ClickOnce app with automatic updates. But automatic updates should be initiated programmatically (through ClickOnce API), not before/after the application starts. Does somebody know how to disable updates before/after the application starts PS. Setting update every 999999 weeks does not look good to me :-) Go to the Publish properties page, and click the Updates button. Uncheck the "This application shoudl check for updates" checkbox. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How Do You Preview a Report In Design Mode 2005 Beta 2?

  In Visual Studio .Net 2003, you could preview a report in design mode by clicking the Preview tab.  There is no Preview tab in 2005 Beta 2 or no similar menu options.  Is there a simple way to preview a report in design mode without having to run the application   I am working in a VB .Net Windows application.  Thanks. There are two "flavors" of Report Designer. If you are using the Report Designer included in SQL Server 2005, the Preview tab is still available. If you are using the Report Designer included in Visual Studio 2005, you have to run your application in order to previ ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to set Font Size in code?

• Visual Studio Team System reverse engineering

  I have been trying to reverse engineer a Visual FoxPro (VFP) 6 database with Visio for Enterprise Architects with not much luck. I'm thinking I need a Visio driver for VFP because when I run the reverse engineering wizard I get a list of "installed Visio drivers" to use but VFP isn't on the list and when I use the ODBC Generic Driver I get the warning: "You are using a Visio 'ODBC Generic Driver' to connect with a 'Visual FoxPro' DBMS database. By using an incompatible driver, it is possible that the catalog information retrieved will be incomplete." Can someone help me to find a driver for Visio to use or even with the r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suppressing warning for entire ASP.NET project

  Hello: I am trying to set up the development environmont our team will use. There are several code analysis warnings we wish to suppress for the entire project without applying the attribute everywhere in the code. For a class library project you can set the suppressions in the project file for the class library. Since this is shared with all developers the suppressions are consistent. Since a web site project doesn't have a project file there doesn't appear to be a place to specify suppressions that will be shared with all developers on the team. I know I COULD got to each machine and go to the Website | Code Analysis Configuration menu ite ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005, adding an InputPanel to CF custom control.

  I have derived from DataGrid to make an editible datagrid.  All is well and it appears in designer and I can add it.  I decided that I want popup input panels so I add Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms to the reference list and add the 'using' tag.  As soon as I decare InputPanel ip; in the class, when I try to go back to main project and view it in designer ( the custom controls are already in place), it claims that my class no longer has the property 'TableStyles'.  In fact it still does, nothing has changed to affect that as far as I see.  It is still derived from datagrid.  I dont see how the input panel object shou ...Show All

• SQL Server Best practice question

  I have a aspx page that needs data from sqlexpress. When I installed sqlexpress, I installed it with "mixed-mode" security. When a user visit's my page, by default the username is IUSR_MyMachine. So, I added this user to the SQLServer2005MSSSQLUSers$MyMachine$SQLEXPRESS group. I have a connection string that looks like: "Data Source=MyServer\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=True" At this point I can go on my merry way and log in and do my thing. My question is this, is this the right way to do this Should I be adding IUSR to the sql group Should I set up a sql user instead What's the best practice ...Show All

• SQL Server Calling GetVirtualInput within SetUsageType method causes error 0xC0047041 on return

  I've been trying to create an async transform component and one of the things I'd like to do is add a new output and/or columns to existing outputs for each input column that is selected. I thought that the SetUsageType method would be a good place to do this as it will allow me to delete output's and columns based on the user's selections but, despite the fact that my code doesn't actually throw or cause errors, when I return from the SetUsageType method I'm informed that error 0xC0047041 (DTS_E_OBJECTNOTINHASHTABLE) has occurred . I pared the method down to an absolute minimum and found that a call to GetVirtualInput is enough to push it o ...Show All
