• Visual Studio Express Editions Managing exceptions in a backgroundworker

  Hi, I'm using a backgroundworker (in VSE2005 for C#) and have the following problem : In the 'dowork' method I have a try/catch that handles exceptions that might occur and then rethrow them for the 'workcompleted' method have a proper error state. The problem is that when an exception occurs, I get an unhandled exception error message pointing to the 'throw ex;' in the catch block (see code below), because of course ex is not being handled, at least not right there. The problem is that in order to test for the error status of you background _dowork method in your 'workcompleted' method you rely on the RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Showing a form over the PPC Password screen

  I'm developing a Pocket PC app that runs at defined times, the device I'm testing on (SPVM500 or HTC Magician) has the Password configured to 'lock' the device after a number of minutes. I'd like my app to be able to display its main form over the Password screen, without the user unlocking the device first. Currently if the device is locked the app runs fine but the form is not shown untill the password (pin) is entered. Is this possible If so how I'm using VS.net 2003 with PPC2003 SDK.  If this isn't possible can it be done using bubble notifications, again I've tried this but the notification is not shown when the pass ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ Directories - my entries ignored by compiler

  Hi. I'm using VC++2005 TE. I added an include directory and a library directory to the environment's list. Tools>Options>Proj+Sett>VC++ Directories (paraphrased UI path). Anyway, when I compile, it can't find the files listed in my new directories for it to look in. When I add those to the project's build settings, it works. I used the browse feature, so I know that my new entries are correct. To be specific, they are "C:\library" and "C:\library\include". I closed the IDE and reopened it -- my new directory entries where still there, but still being ignored. And you used #in ...Show All

• Windows Forms I need to install sqlExpress as a named instance on the client PC

  hiya, I made the fatal mistake of naming the instance of sqlExpress that is installed on my dev machine. Now, all the connection in the appConfig is "myName/sqlExpress" I am also using some RAD databinding, so the servername is in numerous places in my code :-( Can I configure the smartClient to install a named instance of sqlExpress If not, Is there an easy way to: 1) rename my devMachine instance to the default "SQLEXPRESS" 2) overwrite all the places in my code where "myName/sqlExpress" exists. I want to do a simple smartClient install, but I realise that I have made it more difficult ...Show All
