• Software Development for Windows Vista "LoaderLock was detected"

  I get this message after closing any VS2005 application in Debug mode.... VS2005 stays in debug mode until I explicitly kill my app. At first, I thought it was only on Avalon apps, but I get it on any regular WinForms app, even ones that I am recompiling on VS2005... Any idea what it means LoaderLock was detected Message: Attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or ...Show All

• Visual C# UserControl Terminate or Close Event

  Does anyone know of an event for a UserControl that fires when the UserControl is closed by the user In VB6 there was a terminate event. In windows forms there is a close event. I haven't been able to find an equivalent. Thanks in advance for you help. Provided you are sure that the Dispose is being called on the user control when it is closed you could listen for occurrences of the Disposed event. Otherwise I’d have to suggest implementing ...Show All

• SQL Server Will PPC 2003 DLL's for SQL CE work on WM5 PPC

  Writing an installer to handle switching the DLLs depending on OS version is somewhat of a pain. The SQL CE dlls that we are told to install for PocketPC 2003 and WM5 PPC are different... but I noticed that the 2003 DLLs seam to work fine on a WM5 PPC. Is there a perf hit or some other problems I will run into for doing this that I just haven't hit yet Will this work for any WM5 PPC thanks This might work, b ...Show All

• Smart Device Development ActiveX for PPC 'Hello World'

  I'm starting to get desperate on my quest to find a simple, decent "Hello World" example for how to create an ActiveX control that can be hosted in PocketIE. If anyone can point me to some good articles (with source code, preferably) I'd be more than grateful! It looks like the Windows Mobile v5.0 SDK contains a sample for using an ActiveX control on a web page that is opened in Internet Explorer Mobile (which ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2 Textfiles in DataSet

  Hey there I have a problem: I import 2 textfiles (they are saved in the same folder and TabDelimited) with the Visual Studio 2005 wizard into a DataSet. Now I'd like to do a SQL query which gives me all the records that are in one table but not in the other one. But here I got an error. I tried some ways in query builder but it seems that a query through 2 textfiles isn't possible. When I select a row from only one textfile the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Font Issues February CTP

  I am seeing a number of issues with fonts in the February CTP. I cannot set certain font families.

• Visual Studio 2.0 deployment?

  It looks like gacutil.exe does not come with the redistributables. Sounds like Microsoft is encouraging me to build a deployment package I’m not familiar with deployment packages so where do I start Not sure what your question is. gacutil.exe comes with the Framework or Windows SDK.

• Windows Forms Need to enable/disable ToolStripMenuItems when shortcut is activated

  I have a common scenario: items with associated shortcuts on a dropdown menu. With the old WinForms menu system, when the user hit a shortcut, the Popup event fired for the dropdown menu and you could enable/disable the items according to current conditions. E.g. if the shortcut's associated item became disabled, the item wouldn't be actioned. This wonderful scheme doesn't work for ToolStripMenuItems, because shortcuts don't seem to fire any ...Show All
