• Visual Studio Express Editions Missing documentation: System.ComponentModel

  Hej! I cannot find anything about the classes in System.ComponentModel in the MSDN Express edition documentation that came with Visual Express C#. Is this intentional Cheers Hej Bernardo! You just made my day! This solved the problem. This is most likely not the way it was meant to be done by Microsoft, but what the heck - it works. Perhaps Microsoft will react to the bug report I filed. Thanks a lot! ...Show All

• SQL Server best approach

  I've been banging my head for a while now, and it is sore! :-P I'm a best practice/Microsoft approach type of person and want to make sure I do things correctly. I have a database, kind of like a forum. Obviously executing multiple queries in one "batch" (stored proc) would have an impact on the performance. Now, I would like to give a more detailed/specific error back to the caller (either by aid of error code or w ...Show All

Seems like this should be an easy thing to do.  Win Form is what something like: Forms.myForm.windowstate=maximized or something like it... So al ...Show All

• .NET Development Using FileWebRequest for downloading/uploading files

  I need to have 2 methods -- one that downloads and one that uploads -- that rely on shared files on someone's computer. I noticed that the FileWebRequest code might help, but I cannot figure out how to download/upload files with it.
