  Hi, I am generating several files from one TextTemplate just the way is posted in this forum, I  would like to know if there is a way to include the generated files automatically inside the project, how Can I create a Web Application dynamically inside the text template ans add it to my solution file      Luiz, In answer to your first question, you can add new items to a project programmatically using the ENVDTE.DTE.ItemOperations.AddExistingItem(...) method, and you can get a reference to the DTE object using the GetService(...) method of an object that implements IServiceProvider (depend ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2 Projects in solution not compiling to the same directory.

    If create two projects in the same solution and add a Ref from one to the second and compile the second, and compile sol I get both compiled to the second's directory. Exactly as I'd like. And if I create Solution3 with Project3 and add the first project and add ref in Project3 to First project they also both compile to the same directory (Project3's compiled directory).   But it's not working for an existing project.   I know I can set each project's output directory (via property>Compile>Build Output Path) but in a working example that compiles all projects to the same directory the individual project ...Show All

• Windows Forms scrollbars in windowsforms

  I have a form with a maximum height, the width always the same. When the maximum height is exceeded, scrollbars automatically appear. I want to keep the vertical scrollbars, but a horizontal also appears, because the vertical one is placed inside the form. (the width of the vertical scrollbar is the width which the horizontal appears for) How can i solve this problem Adjusting the width of the form doesn't help. I really want the horizontal scrollbar to go away, because it's very ugly. I think it's a combination of changing some values but I can't find it. Thanks! I don't know if this ...Show All

• Visual C++ Refreshing an rich edit box

  Hi all, I created a Rich Edit box using MFC and am trying to do a refresh on the edit box. I did an UpdateData() function but it keeps overwriting the current data with new data. I don't want to do that. Basically, I want to keep the current data as well as add the new data on to it. I tried the append (+=) function, but when I call the UpdateData() function, it takes a while to update. I am appending large quantites of data which slows the update function. How do I make it appear quickly Is there way to go about this You need to us ethe function ReplaceSel. This function allows you to add data into th ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro n-tier design

  I am designing an application and I want to start using n-tier design. I have no problem with the user interface but have some questions about the business and data tiers. My application will probably be all in one vfp exe so I don't particularly have to get into ADO or XML. Am I correct in assuming the actual data reading and writing statements (eg Replace, Insert etc) go into the data tier I am thinking that I would need some sort of data handling class at this tier and a class for each table/entity (customer, transaction etc). Each entity would have a property with the name of the table's fields and the data handling class would then use ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CameraCaptureDialog

  Has anyone used the CameraCaptureDialog successfully on a PDA with camera to capture an image to a file I tried the following code on my O2 Atom (running Windows Mobile 5.0) but all I get is a static image in the dialog. After clicking OK in the dialog, nothing happens. The image is not saved (which should not be the case). Doing a trace in debug mode shows that the FileName property is an empty string immediately after the ShowDialog() call. CameraCaptureDialog c = new CameraCaptureDialog(); c.DefaultFileName = "test.jpg"; c.InitialDirectory = @"\My Documents"; c.ShowDialog(); (I've posted the same message to another thread.
