• Windows Forms Assembly redirection during application launch using Reflection

  I am trying to launch a windows application App1.exe (based on .Net 1.1) using reflection from another windows application. App1.exe has an associated .exe.config in which I put assembly redirection for few assemblies. The assembly redirection is working fine when App1 is launched individually. But when launched using reflection, it is not working. It still expects the original version of assemblies. Is there a way to make it work Thanks. I found a way. I just copied my other assembly's .exe.config file in my host application's directory. It just worked! Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio knowledge of classes within project

  How does Visual Studio know about Classes within a project For example if I had 2 source files, each being a class library, Class1 and Class2. If I add an instance of Class2 in Class1 intellisense knows about Class2's constructor, methods, etc. I'm wondering if this will be a problem with the Package we are creating that contains our own proprietary language. Currently we call an assembly that uses reflection on the project references to validate the objects used in the program. How would we validate objects used by other source files in the same project Hi, I have the similar problem and i am actually ...Show All

• Visual Basic Static Constructors in VB 2005

  Hi I got the following problem: I need some code in a Class library executed when the library is loaded by another app. As I am coming from Java, I looked up some similar feature in C# that seems to exist in VB 2005 too: A shared constructor that gets executed when the class is loaded. However even the simple example below doesn't behave as I intended. However, If I uncomment line 4 then it works as expected. But this is not sufficient for me, as I need classes to register automatically on startup of the application.

• Visual Studio Gathering output files into a property

  I'm trying to put all the outputs of the build into an itemgroup. Immediately after the Build target I've got this: <ItemGroup> <ZipFiles Include="**\*.dll" <ZipFiles Include="**\*.exe" </ItemGroup> But when I print it it's always empty. Are ItemGroup's evaluated in the order that they're written (in this case after the Build task that creates the .dll's and .exe's) or are they evaluated before any tasks are done Is there some other stupid mistake I'm making that's preventing this from working AFAIK, <ItemGroups> are evaluated when the project file is loaded, (an ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. An extension to the visual C++ fatal error c1083: cannot open include file 'd3d9.h' etc.

  I'm just trying to compile the empty project from the sdk in C++, but it can't find all included files... how can I add the reference to these include files I am able to compile it in C#, but not in C++... The Visual C++ compiler has a number of directories that it will search when looking for #include'd (or linked) files. Quite simply, you haven't configured yours to search in the correct place Usually, if you install the SDK after you install your IDE then it will configure it accordingly. In Visual C++, go to the "Tools" menu, select "Options". ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C# Express, Help disappeared

• Windows Forms What's the story on UseCompatibleTextRendering

  So I rebuilt my app using VS2005 and it worked beautifully except for my labels being moved down a few pixels.  I came across the property UseCompatibleTextRendering and if I change it to true then my app works fine.  I can find almost no documentation on what are the impacts of changing this property.  Why is the default behaviour not compatible with previous versions of winforms and what is the difference I also read that there exists a compiler switch that allows you to change this globally, but I can find no documentation! Darrel I found this thread while I searching for a discussion of UseCompatibleTextRendering, a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Updating read-only columns in bound GridView

  I have a bound GridView where the SqlDataSource SELECT command consists of a join of three tables (which is not uncommon in a normalized database scenario).  My intent is to allow the user to update the values of 4 specific columns in "EDIT" mode.  Through the use of Columns BoundField attributes "Visible" and "ReadOnly", I have been able to "open up" only the desired fields for editing (all from a single table); however, in addition to updating the user's input field changes, I also want to update a couple of other columns (such as LastUpdated - a datetime column, and LastUpdateBy - the userID of the the person updating) .  T ...Show All
