• Windows Forms .NET LicenseProvider references?

  Can anyone point me to a good resource (online or e-doc preferably) that will explain how to use the .NET LicenseProvider. I am trying to license some usercontrols that I built. I’m especially looking for an A-to-Z resource with examples on how to use the lc.exe and .licx files. Also if anybody thinks there is a better forum than this one, please let me know.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't remove .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 1

  I'm attempting to install the VC# Express Edition 2005 Beta 2 package and have run into a snag. I previously had some of the Express Edition Beta 1 packages installed (VB, VC#, VC++), but removed them in order to install Beta 2. I also have the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 1 package installed, which refuses to uninstall. First, I tried removing it via Add/Remove Programs. The uninstaller complained that 'netfx.msi' could not be found, and quit. Then, I ran the Visual Studio Beta 2 Cleanup tool, but VC# still said that the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta was installed. I tried Add/Remove Programs again, but now the Add/Remove Programs applet itself said ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Defrag Continually accesses my Diskette drive

  Hello. I'm using windows 2000 professional. It's seems that in the past week that when I run windows defrag, the program seems to continually access my diskette drive. The diskette drive doesn't even show up as an option in the windows 2000 defrag. Then when I do start the defrag on my hard drive, it just pounds the heck out of the drive. I've done full virus and spyware scans with Symantec Corporate antivirus 10, spybot and lavasoft ad-aware professional. It's really annoying because it seriously slows down the defragging process and it's making a lot of noise from the diskette drive. If anyone has some suggestions I'd really apprecia ...Show All
