• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Web Developer Express install problem

  I am fairly new to the web development/design world. I am trying to view an .ascx file, and it appears that VWDE may allow me to do that or at least determine what information that file has in it. The current website I am trying to work on is one designed by my webmaster who appears to have lost interest... so I am trying to pick up where he left off. I have downloaded the VWDE program on my XP Home SP2 computer, but when I try to run the vwdsetup application it loses a connection with the server or something. I get past the user agreement, do not check either of the optional products to install, select the install destination, and click ...Show All

• Windows Forms A Couple Of things

  Hey,   Umm there are a couple of things that i need help with, the first is a window dependency. I have created an internet browser but when i maxiumize the size of the form the window that the website displays its self in stays the same size.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office addins Project Creation Failed

  Hello! When I try to run the Office addins templates in VS I get " A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007045A)".

• Visual C# Selected a listviewitem

  I have found a ListView control on the web that has been extended to include additional functionality. Unfortunately it now has a problem. When you click on a ListViewItem it does not select it. i.e. it does not highlight the item like it would normally in a normal ListView control. Could you tell me what events and methods I should change to make it select an item when the user clicks on one item Much appreciated. Howdy.. Do you have the source code for this control You cant change anything like that unless you do. Did you pay for this control If so, you should get some sort of customer service for it and hopefully som ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ServiceEndPoint.Binding

  Is there a way to serialize a Binding so that I can deserialize it some where else and use it with a proxy. SomeProxy proxy = new SomeProxy(DeserializeBinding(bindingBytes or Xml), new EndPointAddress("....")) I can turn all the metadata into xml through ServiceMetadataExtension, but not all binding information comes across. On one of my binding I set the maxMessageSize to something other than the default and when I deserialize the metadata it is still set to the default ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problems with tabs when sending mail from C# winform app

  Dear All, I have a C# winform app that sends email through Outlook 2003 referencing the Outlook 11 Object Library. On the main form I have a series of textboxes, comboBoxes and numbericUpDown controls that present the user with data read from an XML file using the XMLTextReader class. It all works fine apart from one slight little niggly issue. First of all, below is a snippet of my method that sends mail that is invoked when the user clicks on a button so you can get a feel of what I’m talking about. private void sendMail() { Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application(); Outlook.MailItem ...Show All

• Visual C# Transferring data from one form to another, is it possible?

  More specifically, I have a form that has as combo boxes on them. When this main form loads, it retrieves data from SQL and I bind these combo's to data tables. However, I manually put an item named <create new customer>. If the user selects that option from the combo, I popup a new form that contains all the customer fields they need to populate. When they click save, what I would like to do is either save the data back to the sql database at that time but at the same time take the values the user entered and transfer it back to corresponding fields in the Main form without making the main form make another call to SQL if at ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF apps slow for some reason

  Everything is slow for some reason. I tried Max, and that ran decently (aside some weirdness I'll explain below), but I try running some of the sample code and other stuff I compile on Visual Studio, and it's unbelievably slow. I tried the samples here  on XamlPad... I can click on a button at a rate of about 2-3 times a second, and my CPU usage will jolt up to 100%. Most other sample applications run just as slow. Max runs okay, except that it takes about 40% of my CPU time even when it's minimized. By the way, is there something I can do about text being blurry Here are some of my machine specs: Pentium 4c 2.4ghz HT 1gb DDR 400 dual ...Show All
