• Visual Studio Questions on setting share permission on the VSS database folder

  Dear experts, Just several questions on the share permission setup of VSS database: 1. It is necessary to set the share permission of the VSS database folder to "Change" to to users that needed to check in / check out files, am I right 2. If yes, users may access the files / folders in the VSS database folder by enter the share path in exploerer. (e.g. \\server_name\share_name ) They can even delete or destroy all the VSS database files without security control, am I right 3. If yes, can you please suggest any security control over this case please Thannks. Hi Yes you are correct about the security req ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Focus after bookmark insert?

  We are displying a Word Document in a Iframe on an .aspx page.  This Document was created using VSTO and in it we have an ActionsPane.  We use it to insert bookmarks onto the Document by double-clicking in a listbox.  All that works fine, but my problem resides in the foucs after we insert a bookmark.  The focus remains on the listbox, NOT the Document, which I need. I have tried this: doc.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument It works fine in just the Document, but in the browser it doesn't.  I know it is not meant to be in a browser, but does anyone have any ideas   O ...Show All

  in computer management, when i expand the branch of my sql2005 express, i got a error message. it seems i cant register my server, but i cant login in sqlcmd i also installed sql2000, and it works fine... could anybody help really strange This will never work.  You need to use Management Studio (full or Express) to connect to SQL Server 2005.  We have a bug file on our side to determine why the server is being registered.  If we fix the server registration problem, you still will not be able to connect to SQL Server 2005 through this means.

• Windows Forms Is there a built in Most Recently Used (MRU) class?

  I want to implement a MRU list for recent files in my Windows Forms application, and I want the data to be stored in the user.settings file.

• Visual Basic Accessing images stored in Access database with VB.NET 2003

  Hi, I am developping an employee management application with VB. I used an Access database to store employee information and the pictures. However I have a difficulty at displaying employee images. I have found some code to add images and display them on the form. The code, first reads the image stored in database (in binary form) then writes in a temp file and then uses a picturebox to display the image on the form. Code is working fine but when I try to add a picture for an employee and then try to change (another add operation) the employee's picture right after addition, program crashes because the temp file is already in use. Can y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB + SQL server vs Access

  I am very new to programming etc so I may be misunderstanding the situation, but my question is this: VB.Net Express is a programming language which comes with database functionality via SQL Server Express, whereas Access is a Database which is programmable via VBA. So, if one is developing a (fairly simple) database based application what are the pros and cons of using one set of software tools versus the other Thanks for any insights. Eric It really depends on your field of expertise. Personally, I'd crank out something faster using C# and SQL Server, because that's what I do. But, Access is definately e ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I make my user control dragable?

  I have a user control look like a panel.  I want to make its dragable so that user can move it to other location.  How to do this Many many thanks I have earlier asked but got no response so I had to delve into it myself.  It can be tricky because it is easy to get into an infinite loop with MouseOver over yourself. I adapted the solution from a book but I can't remember the title of the book now.  Basically, it involves noting down the mouse position and setting a flag on MouseDown. Note that MouseMove fires even if the mouse moves outside the object after MouseDown has been fired from that object.  A ...Show All
