Visual C# Set RegistryKeyValue For All Users?
hi how i can set keyvalue on registry..so it will be read for all users..on system..for example if have 2 users (administrator (default)..and (user))..i want to set key value on registry..and be seen by the two users without setting the keyvalue twise... please help.. Thanks Bassam Basamad There is no All Users key for the registry. If you want to store a value that all users see then you should use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Otherwise you have no choice but to enumerate the HKEY_USERS subkey and set the entries for each user. However security may cause you problems here. Fortunately however, barring security, the code is a si ...Show All
.NET Development Assembly Reference Problem
Hi, When I try to use ModuleName.GetTypes() method it throws an exception. Later I found that this method tries to load the types that are referenced in this assembly, which were not present in the current directory. I don't want to load all the types from the referenced assemblies. How do I overcome this problem Thanks. By the very definition you do want it to load all types because you are asking for the metadata for all the types defined in the module. There is no direct way around this. Why would you not want to load all the types if you wanted to get all the types from t ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
Hi! In my windowed control, whose rendering is done completely in Direct-x, I provide the means for the user to change the font. For this reason, my object includes the function SetupFont(), which is called at least once on startup to set the default font, and then it may be called whenever the user decides to change the font. The mobjFontDirectX and mobjFontGDI objects are defined at class level: private void SetupFont(System.Drawing.Font objFontGDI) { if (!objFontGDI.Equals(mobjFontGDI)) { if (mobjFontGDI != null) mobjFontGDI.Dispose(); mobjFontGDI = objFontGDI; if (mobjFontDirectX != null) mobjFontDirectX.Dispose() ...Show All
Visual Studio Extending a DSL post-deployment
I'm exploring the possbilities for allowing end users of my DSL to add metadata beyond what I know of when preparing the product. There are places where it would be useful for people to add metadata specific to their environment to the DSL. For example: say one end user's deployment environment is such that all decision points in a workflow can be resolved with reference to their proprietary or third-party rules engine. I can provide a DSL that describes the workflow generally, but there will be no space in there to capture the information specific to the user's own rules engine. Now it is not a big task to create a new class or struct to ca ...Show All

Visual C++ Changes from VS2003 to VS2005, e.g. COleDateTime::Format
Hello there, We are about to migrate from VC7.1 (VS2003) to using VC8 (VS2005), and we have of course run into a couple of obvious problems (which were mostly due to small corrections in the C++ syntax). We have also encountered some not-so-abvious problems, like this one: Trying to do a COleDateTime(0.0).Format("%Y/%m/%d") in VC7 rendered a CString with the content "1899/12/30", as expected. Doing this with VC8 causes the application to crash. Without notice with a Release build, with some Debug Assertsions on a Debug build. This arises two questions: Is there a possible workaround for the COleDateTime problem, we have millions of lines of ...Show All
Visual FoxPro hiding Logon information....
I have an online MySql Database that I will be connecting to in a distributed app. The user will Log in and all remote views will be filtered based on the userid. I have set up a user for my app that can access ALL the data. I can’t figure out how to hide the user name and password in the connection object in the DBC.

Can this be Done How I know I can do it with ADO but I prefer to use remote Views. ...Show All

SQL Server Gurus: Please help! SSIS package using custom dll fails on server
I have a SSIS package that has a script component. In the script I reference a custom dll that contains some functions. The dll is registerd with a strong name in the GAC on my machine and the SQL Server 2005 box. The package works fine in Visual Studio. The problem lies when I deploy the package to the server. (note: several other packages created without the dll work fine on the server). Is there something else that has to be configured on the server to be able to reference and use the custom dll Thanks for your help.
