• .NET Development Dynamic AppDomains

  I have an application that uses the FileSystemWatcher to monitor for the "drop" of certain files in a folder.  Custom actions are then executed based on the file name, size, etc. This application can listen for an unlimited number of files and therefore, runs an unlimitede number of threads that implement the FileSystemWatcher. However, if a critical error occurs one of these threads, the whole app crashes. Is there a way I can create an AppDomain (therefore, another process) for each file listener   I guess I am trying to simulate what IIS6 does when you add an applications to different ApplicationPools so that the crash of one wi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Chart/graph controls on form

  Hi, Can anyone help me with my problem. I want to place some graphs/chart controls on my form. I want to place a treeview control on the left of my form as a navigation control and on the right I want to place some graph/chart controls that will show respective figures/position. In the controls list, I can't find any genuine chart/graph control. Have they been moved to some other namespace different from 'System.Windows.Forms'. I know this is not an exact answer to your question, but maybe this link helps http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/graphcontrol.asp Marinus ...Show All

• Visual Studio Change a connector's from and to endpoints at runtime

  Is it possible to change a connector's from and to end points at runtime I've tried creating a partial class for my connector and setting the FromEndPoint and ToEndPoint properties during the OnShapeInserted event however after committing the transaction they revert back to thier original settings. I notice there are Move and MoveByRepositioning methods but I don't know what parameters to give them. Hi Russell, Yes, it's possible to set the From/ToEndPoints. You were on the right track by setting the FromEndPoint and ToEndPoint properties. However, end points also have a fixed flag. By default, the Fixed ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do you include a folder that has been excluded from a project?

  I have a couple wizards that create classes in a specific folder. For example the Forms folder. I've created an action called EnsureProjectFolderExistsAction that will return the folder's ProjectItem if it already exists and create the folder using ProjectItems.AddFolder if it doesn't exist. The problem comes when the folder already existed in the project and was excluded from the project. When I call ProjectItmes.AddFolder, it throws an exception because the folder already exists in the file system. I saw a post from a couple years ago that suggested that you use Visual Studio commands to include the folder back into the project. This seems ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Communicating with Outlook like ActiveSync

  My goal is to create a Windows service that can communicate with Outlook to synchronize .pst files. The main difficulty is the dreaded (but necessary) Outlook object model guard. It's my understanding that the best way to avoid the ensuing dialog box (when implementing restricted properties or methods) is to communicate with an Outlook add-in. To do this Outlook would have to be started programatically with no UI and the service would make calls to the add-in. I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Any general info on the architecture required to make this happen or specific info on how to implement this would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual C# Dynamic assembly loading with static functions

  Hello, I have a program which is dynamically loading in several assemblies. So what I am doing is creating instances of the assemblies just to extract some data (constants). obj = Activator .CreateInstance(typeTemp); //Create the instance then typecast it to access some method   But what I want to do is to access a static function instead of having to create an instance of the class and calling the method. Is there a way to dynamically invoke a static method with no instance of the type Thanks, Mish Sure, you just need a reference to the assembly (type System.Reflection.Assembly).  On the assembly reference ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C++ Locks up the computer...

  Shortly after I start coding in VC++ my entire computer locks up and I have to restart it.  This has happened every time I have tried to use the program.  I am really disappointed because VC++ 6.0 isn't supported anymore, so this is all I have to use unless I want to spend lots of money...  I like Microsoft's products a lot more than compilers like dev-cpp and stuff, but this really sucks... So anyway - does anybody know why this problem happens, or does anybody have the same problem I looked at the system requirements, and I have well over what is required.  However, I am running an AM ...Show All
