  hi, my app stores some settings data in the user.config file. this one is located in InstallRoot%\Documents and Settings\ username \Local Settings or appdata. How can i modify this location of the user.config file (for example i want it always to be in the same dir of my app or a subdir of it.

• Visual Studio .Net 2.0 SDK install problems?

  I have tried several times to install this on different machines. I have installed the framework first, and when I try to run the install program, it interupts with the message "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory(low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file." I have tried several solutions including deleting cache files, temp files, and other things. Has anyone encountered the same problems I am having Thanks for any help you may offer! I figured that would happen... my next idea would be to make sure that your version of Windows Installer is up to date ( http://www.microsoft.com/dow ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Portal Reports only showing top selection criteria

• Visual Basic Dynamic windows form loading

  Is there a way to dynamically load a windows for based on a value from a database query   I want to use late binding instead of a big case statement to load the window. Thanx, Robert Beaubien President Kool Software Of course, you can do that.  However, you need know the Full class name and what assembly implements that class through your database.  You can load the assemlby (System.Reflection.Assembly), if the assmembly is in GAC, and you have the full name of it, or you have a path.   You can call Assembly.GetType to get the type, and call System.Activator.CreateInstance to create an instance of the type.

• .NET Development Javascript, Web Services and WSE

  Hi, I have created a Web Service and I want to add some security with WSE. I would like to know if there is there any posibility to use Javascript to call the methods from the Web Service using WSE. I would appreciate any help or any internet resources you could provide me. Thanks in advance. I'm not sure if I understand your question. If you want to use JavaScript to call a WebService implemented in WSE, yes you can but you will not have a Javascript implmentation of the standards supported by WSE, and it's hard to implement them. But if you have a .JS file in your machine and you want to ...Show All

• Visual C++ Dialog Resizing in Japanese XP

  In an 8-year old MFC/MDI project under Visual C++ 6.0, I use the default 8-Pt. MS San Serif.  For the first time I have heard from a Japanese XP customer that the dialog is being resized and labels are being shifted and/or truncated.  Experimentation showed that I could easily reproduce the behavior just by changing font dialog.  I assumed that XP was replacing an unknown font with some more universal font.  However, 8-Pt. MS San Serif was resident on the system and reinstalling it made no difference.  I suspect that this has been a problem all along, but it took all this time to hear about it.  Anybody know ...Show All
