• Visual C# Blocking ALT+CTRL+DEL in your application!

  Hello all How to block ALT+CTRL+DEL or ALT+F4 in your c# application. Thanks for your help. I assume that you work on the windows form. If so, there is a way to prevent ALT+F4 from happening. In the properties window, double click on the KeyDown Event and it will take you right into the source code. Then, you want to type the following highlighted code down below. private void (name of KeyDown)_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F4 && e.Modifiers == Keys.Alt) e.Handled = true; base.OnKeyDown(e); } PS let me know how it works out for you. ...Show All

• SQL Server Fail to run report made with report builder

  Hi, I am completely new to Report Builder. I created and deployed a report model and opened the Report Builder, and created a very simple report by dragging a table into the report. When running the report i get this error: Keyword not supported: 'provider'. ---------------------------- Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'. ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing. The data source name that I used in the report model was not called dataSource1. Approximately the same error is displayed if I deploy (save) the report to the report server: An error has occurred during report processing ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How many source files are needed to publish a VB program

  I have put Form1.vb and Form1.Designer.vb for a small serial port program in our knowledgebase, but it seems that these two files are not enough. In some examples I have seen Form1.Designer.vb inserted in the beginning of Form1.vb to form a complete source code. How do you do that This is the project settings and resources, available to all forms. It also contains things like what form to start up first. You might store some general messages, connection strings in the project settings instead of a individual form or class. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Multiselect listbox for Compact Framework

  I'm developing a VB.NET PPC application using VS2005 Beta 2.  I've noticed that the SelectionMode property (which allows you to specify a single or multiselect listbox) for the listbox control is not available for smart device development.  This seems like a fairly basic property that has been omitted from the Compact Framework.  (By the way, I'm porting this application over from the Palm OS, which has had this capability for many years). Any idea whether the SelectionMode property for the listbox control will be available in the released version of VS2005   If not, is there a recommended alterna ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC displays XP visual style only when VS2005 installed

  HI. I'm writing an MFC app and trying to use visual styles. I added the manifest file with the various lines, including: [...] name = " Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls " version = " 6.0.0.0 " [...] My problem is that although this caused the application to render correctly in testing (e.g.: white menus), when I run the application on a machine that has XP, but not VS2005, it renders in the old style (e.g: grey menus). Anyone know what is causing this Thanks! edit: I have the MFC libs linked in to the app - not using the shared DLL.   I'm sorry but you must be confusing Vis ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing property localizability via TypeDescriptor

  Hi. I'm using some third-party control, which one of its sub properties isn't localizable. By "sub property", I mean that the property doesn't belong to the control itself, but to some other object in its property hierarchy instead. I'm trying to replace the PropertyDescriptor for that property, with an inherited one who adds the LocalizableAttribute(true) attribute to its AttributeArray virtual property. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck. The value of the property is still serialized to code instead to resources. Can anyone give me some guidelines how to implement this Thanks, Yaakov ...Show All

• Visual C++ Code to compile???

  Hi, I need my program in C to compile a .c file. I remember that there is a call of system to do that. Something like system("compile the file",file.c,file.exe) I dont remember how to do that. please can u help me :D thanks You can just execute the compiler from straight ahead assuming that you have the compiler binaries in the path. system("cl.exe a.c") should compile a.c. cl.exe is the compiler driver. You can test that by going to the VS command prompt and executing cl.exe yourself. Hope this helps! Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All
