• Windows Forms Can't run ClickOnce

  I can't seem to run ClickOnce applications (or at least the ones I've created).  It seems AppLaunch keeps crashing when I try to run the ClickOnce app.  When I go to the directory that all the files are saved, and run the main app, it runs just fine.  Haven't tested any other ClickOnce apps, or had other people test mine yet, not sure the problem.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug? InvokeWorkFlow activity used with Sequential Workflow hosted in Console App

  I've been experimenting with InvokeWorkFlow activity and found what I think might be a bug with the logic in hosting code for the console app.  In the Main method, the WF runtime is instantiated and the started passing in the type for WorkFlow1.  Before it starts the workflow however it wires up a handler for the WorkflowCompleted event that when called sets a AutoResetEvent which the main thread uses to terminate the WF runtime and en ...Show All

• SQL Server sql server express loses ability to write to database

  After a period of use (typically 1-2 hours), an application using SQL Server Express stops writing to the database, whilst still continuing to read from it. As far as I can tell, no error message is generated by any operation. The application is written in VB Express and is executed on several machines, with SQL Server Express on a central machine. Re-starting the application on the affected machine restores normal operation. The problem ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Window Stay On Top?

  I was trying to get my form (the main form Form1) to stay on top all other windows windows(such like the Windows Task Manager) but with no luck. I tried Google and came up with several approaches: One used the SetWindowPos API call but that generated some insanley cryptic message that the call '...unbalanced the stack...'. I also tried setting the form's TopMost property to true, but that only made the main form stay on top the other fo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Add connection wizard fails with Access database

  I'm unable to install SQL Express 2005 on a windows 2003 server.  I have installed it on several 2003 servers, but for some reason, the one I need it on will not install.  I have tried the manual install, and the command line install.  Both give the same error.  Setup gets to the point where it is configuring the server, and then I get the following error.

• Visual C++ Question About Headers

  I want to use VSC++ for programming C. I know C isn't fully support cause the lack of MS deciding not to add the c99 which i believe is stupid. But I was wondering is there a way I can use my own C headers and libraries to build that are c99 and use it with VSC++. I have the Visual Studios Professional version. And change the compiler cause i don't wanna think i spent so much money for this and I can't use it. Cause of this problem. ...Show All
