• Windows Forms Missing system.resources.dll

  Hi All, I have a small problem which I cant find answer anywhere. I wrote a small applcation in C#. It support english and German, So I am using resouce files for german and they all stored under the "de" and the "de-DE" folders. My Application loads through Internet Explorer ( IIS ). when I connect to my page from a German client console and check the IIS log files i see that a lot of GET command failed (404). the strage thing is that those dll are : system.resources.dll and mscorlib.resources.dll. My application is still working BUT I cant figure out why it searches for those file (.NET files) and if there is any way to solve this annoying ...Show All

• .NET Development I'm sure this isnt the right place for this question but ....

  I was wondering if microsoft is ever going to make drivers available for Windows XP 64-bit edition. I just purchaced a fingerprint reader (a microsoft product) only to find it does not work in XP 64. I have searched everywhere I can think of to find out if there was a driver available but it doesnt seem to exist. Then I looked at the microsoft hardware site and randomly looked at driver downloads for their hardware and none NONE were available in a 64 bit version. How can microsoft sell hardware that is not compatable with their own operating systems and how do they expect people will want to buy the 64bit edition if nothing works Please ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling a C# executable from windows explorer shell context menu

  I have written a simple application in C# (2005 Express Edition) / Windows Forms that displays diskspace usage for a given file/folder as a pie chart that I wish to access from the windows explorer context menu. I have managed to add an item to the context menu for all folders using the file types tab in the folder options dialog within windows. This is sufficient for me as I don't intend to distribute this application, it is only for my own personal use, so adding it manually is OK. My problem is that I don't know how to find out which folder was right-clicked from within my application. Is the folder name simply passed as a parameter ...Show All

• SQL Server W2K3SP1, IIS, Forced directory browsing

  My Reporting Services broke when installed W2K3SP1. Users can get into the report list but when they select a report the request is translated into a request for a directory listing from the Report Server. If I enbale directory browsing for the report server the directory list is returned. If disable directory browsing then a 403 error is returned. I am also getting this error with OWA services on my exchange server. Any ideas This is really frustrating... No ideas I tried rolling back W2K3SP1 but then IE6 became configured to download url's intead of displaying them. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error 28100.Error loading Event web service.

  Hi,   During installation I got "Error 28100.Error loading Event web service.". Any idea what is going wrong TFS is being installed on a Virtual Machine.   Please feel free to contact me if you need any more information. Thanks, Bart ps. Is it possible to upload the setup log I went back to some lessons learned when installing tfs beta 2, one of which was to install wss before sql server (even though the install guide says to do it after).  I installed wss, stopped the default web site, set the sharepoint site to port 80, then installed sql server.  Then I manually configured report ...Show All

  Why can I only have 1 scalable vector graphic reference file saved with-in a xaml file and thats the only view and detail the glpyh/icon can have... if you scale-down a 256x256px graphic to like 16x16px it looks bad unless the 256x256px is very simple which brings be to my next point that if you would make a simple 16x16px graphic and scale-up to 256x256px the graphic would look to simple and not rich enough which would make that size pointless to scale to... wouldnt it be a better solution  if you could set a scalable vector graphic reference file for each square number example ..., 16x16px, ... 32x32px, ..., 256x256, ... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista When adding a bitmap to a popup menu the item goes black when selected.

  I added a bitmap to a popup menu as a menu item,  however, when the item is selected the area of the bitmap goes black (instead of blue) while the rest of the menu stays blue. Is this a problem with transperancy Laura Since you haven't provided any more information I had to write my own program. Works for me on Windows Vista exactly the same as on XP; I don't see how this is a peculiarly Windows Vista UI question. Start with the scratch program and add this function: void OnContextMenu(HWND hwnd, HWND hwndContext, UINT xPos, UINT yPos) {  HMENU hmenu = CreatePopupMenu();  if (hmenu) {   static const ...Show All
