• Software Development for Windows Vista User Administration

  I am not a programmer by any means, I've been a Help Desk tech for a couple of years now and have a question about the way Vista is going to handle permissions. In my job function and as a Domain Admin i regularly have to log on to end users' PC's to install software, make changes, etc. We have pounded security into our empoyees and they are all quite good at locking their workstations when they leave their desks. We would love to see the ability for an administrator to log on as a user with proper administrative credentials. We would then have the ability make sure, say, that all of the user's documents are saved and applications are close ...Show All

• Visual C++ Link problems for Dll

  I just started using Visual Studio 2005 and tried to merge a project that previously was built using Visual Studio 6. I get lots of linking errors regarding stuff that should be in the runtime librarires, like this one: 1>IVSTD.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp____iob_func referenced in function "void __cdecl iv__assert(char const *,char const *,int)" ( iv__assert@@YAXPBD0H@Z) This has to be in the run-time library but even if I add the one that seems reasonable (msvcrt.lib since it's a multithreaded DLL) I get the same errors.

  Has anyone else experiance really slow debugging in VB.Net Beta 2 Yesterday was the first time I used it to step through code line by line and I was shocked.

• .NET Development Application level Dataset and the form designer

  What is the best way to do an application level dataset that all forms can share and at and not break the form designer   Using the DataSource to drag controls on really works nice but the dataset is local to the form. However if you point the dataset of the form to point to a Global/Application dataset the form designer does not work.   I have used conditional compilation which seems like work around but you have to add and remove the conditional flag, kind of a pain.   private void InitializeComponent() { ... #if Designer           &nb ...Show All
