• Visual C# Threading in C#

  Hello Everyone, I have a tab application, which initially I made single threaded....I added a dll which has a form. Now when I change to a tab method in that dll gets fired and form comes up, which makes everything else unresponsive.... Whats the best solution to implement thread to solve that problem.... Secondly, I tried doing something this way..... namespace something { public partial class Some : Form { public Some() { } // Then here more procedures } // Here I created another class which fires the method from dll.... public partial class Test { public DLLFire() { } } Now If i ...Show All

• SQL Server Digitally Signing

  I have two questions. 1. Has anyone ever digitally signed a PDF coming out of Reporting Services 2. When will you be able to generate a Word document from a Reporting Services Report Dave Currently there is no real way to sign a PDF in the true sense of the word - The best you can really do is generate a hash off of the fully rendered PDF and then store the hash somewhere else...later you can use the hash to make sure the report hasn't been modified. There is no ETA on SSRS being able to render to Word...SoftArtisans has a product which will do this now, though ( http://officewriter.softartisans.com/ )   ...Show All

• Visual C# How to set Background Image in a multiline textbox/richboxcontrol or any other control

  Hi, I need some pointers on how to go ahead with it. Thanks, No, you cannot override OnPaintBackground. The events are not fired by default by TextBox or RichTextBox, so even if your custom control can override them, nothing is accomplished. The only way I know to get the Paint events is to set the UserPaint style for the control, but at that point the control will never redraw itself... which means that if you want to change the background you also have to reimplement the entire painting of the textbox (which IS a pain). The only thing I ever found that comes close to a solution is in this article ... which is very cl ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Help! Installation not working

  I downloaded the HD DVD Programming Guide, installed it, but then couldn't find the program file or document anywhere on my computer. Is it a document or is it a program I went to Start:All Programs on my XP Pro PC and couldn't find it. Is it somewhere else on my computer Thanks, David Hi David, The current download is just some documentation and an object model diagram. You can this in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft\HDDVDProgrammingGuide (Assuming you used the default install path) Stay tuned for more interesting downloads soon...

• Visual Studio Express Editions cannot open form in design view

  Hi i saved a visual basic 2005 project containing two forms. When reloading the project the next day, i could not get the design view of those forms anymore. I only see the code in form1.designer.vb, i do not see the form with the usercontrols itself. In the solution explorer i see a node form1.vb with an icon which looks like a small textfile and "VB" in its corner. When i click on this node two files appear: Form1.designer.vb and Form1.resx. I also noticed that in a project where i do see the form in design view, the icon of the node form1.vb looks different from the icon in this project. What has gone wrong here or do i need to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Automatic check in

  I'm running VSS 2005 with VS 2005. 1) When I open a project under source control it used to ask me which files I wanted to check out.

• SQL Server Connection Timeout - Need Help

  Hello, My app uses sql express on the client work station and has been installed by our application installer as a part of the prerequisites. The sql express install in standard and we've not changed any settings or brought in any tweaks. All is well in our dev center. However, some of our clients are experiencing a problem when the app starts up. After the PC has been restarted, running the application causes it to crash with a connection time out. However, running it a second time will work with absolutely no issues. Overall - after a restart, the first sql express connection will time out. I had a post on this earlier here -> ...Show All

• SQL Server What are user instances?

  Hello, I want to know whats the difference between managing the databse with management studio or directly putting the MDF file on the app_data folder in visual studio 2005. I tried to put one MDF file and tells me that users instances are not enabled. If I put an mdf file onto my project it will be part of the installer and it will automatically install my database on the remote server If not why its useful if I can go to server explorer and see all my databases, tables and so on. Tks    In a nutshell, "user instance" allows a non-admin user to start an application which start a sql server instance. Here are some explana ...Show All

  ODMA is a standardized, high-level interface that enables you to transparently access a DMS from your desktop program, such as Microsoft Word. We have a DMS product we would like to integrate with Microsoft Word and Outlook.  We understand that Outlook isn't fully ODMA compliant.  We would like to know whether future versions of Microsoft Office will still support ODMA. Hi Barb, Per the Word team, they have not removed ODMA support from Word and have no plans to. If I find out more on this I'll post it. -brenda (ISV Buddy Team) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Accurately setting the font size

  Hi, I have a Rich Text Box in a windows form and I set the font type and size by grabbing information from a database. This rtb eventually appears in a Crystal Report. I use various methods to make sure the comment in the rtb fits into the box on the Crystal Report when printed. I have noticed recently that it is not 100% accurate. I am not expecting it to be 100% but I need it as close as possible. One problem I am having is that if, for example, I set the Rich Text Box font type to Comic Sans and the font size to 8, the text is appearing slightly smaller in the Crystal Report. I have noticed that if I copy the text from the RTB into Word, ...Show All
