• Windows Forms Custom control cannot be moved in VS.NET designer

  Hi all, I developed a custom control derived from ScrollableControl. After I dragged my control onto a test Form, the control can be selected, but I cannot use mouse to move it around or resize it as I can with normal controls. However, If I used the property browser to change its Location or Size property, it takes effect. What is the possible cause of this problem Thanks in advance If your TestControl works fine, then I have no idea what is the real cause of the problem. In my case, however, when I removed the line base.AllowDrop = true, it solved the problem. And it's definitely not b ...Show All

• Visual C# Access to path "path" is denied.

  Hello, I am writing an app that will sit on the desktop. It needs to be able to make a copy of a folder that sits on the server. It will copy the folder from the server and place it in the same directory on the same server. This is the line of code that I am using: System.IO.File.Copy(sDistinationFolder + "NewOrderTemplate", sDistinationFolder + myDate.Date + "_" + mtxtJobNumber.Text); So, as you can see, I am copying a folder called 'NewOrderTemplate' and the new copy will be called date_jobnumber. When I try to run this I always get a "Access to path "path" is denied." error. The root folder ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Custom Controls

• Visual Studio Team System How would we go about converting an agile project to a CMMI project

  How would we convert a project from an agile method to a CMMI project without losing all of our work items Amy, Is there any downfall using your approach versus the approach stated in the previous reply from Martin Woodward. We are fairly new in our use of TFS and began with Agile about a month ago. We have about 500 work items, many of them completed or closed. We are not concerned yet at this point in losing history since our development team just began using Tasks and Bugs last week after our migration from VSS to TFS Source Control. CMMI definitely suits our process better than Agile so we are going to migrate no matter what, bu ...Show All

• .NET Development Setting up a central folder for DLLs that all my sites can use

    Im trying to create a number of DLL's in .Net. I want them to be accessible by a number of different web apps, and I want the DLL's stored in one single folder. When I update the DLL's all of the apps should automaticlly see the changes without me having to rebuild each of the apps. I currently have this setup with ASP, VB6 dlls and Component Services, but I cant seem to get it working in .Net. I create the DLL, place it in the folder, and the web apps take a copy of it into the bin directory, meaning that when I update the DLL in the main folder, the apps will still use the copy in the bin folder.

• Windows Forms Problems binding to a run time created control

The first part of the page is binding to a particular order, this order has many rows, within these rows are accessories rows for thos rows. Quite complicated but the only way I think I can explain it. The order, the order row, and the accessories are all different tables. The order is displayed based on the SO number which is the primary key, the order row is linked to the order table by the SO number key, the order row's primary key is RowNo, each SO ...Show All
