• Windows Forms External component has thrown an exception

  Hi, I'm getting this error really sporadically in my Winforms app. Seems to happen when trying to display a form with a call to .ShowDialog(). It doesn't seem to happen on any particular form, just pops up now & again. I can close the application and restart it, then I can view the form without the error The application is running in a Citrix terminal server environment, the assemblies themselves are running from a network share. Can anyone think of what would be causing this error - why is it only happening every now & then (the worst sort of errors!). One post mentions a faulty network connection to blame, but our network ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ MFC static library producing a link error

  I have two projects that are part of a solution (Microsoft Development Environment 2003) that builds and runs fine when using MFC dlls. I would like to produce a standalone version that does not need the MFC dlls. I assumed this was done by setting "Use MFC in a static library", but when I do this I get a couple thousand link errors.

• .NET Development first WebService - HelloWorld - AccessDenied

  Hi out there, am cautiously attempting to set up a first WebService completely on my own XP and the basic HelloWorld won't work due to HTTP 403: Access Denied. the consuming application is a visual.net Windows application. Have put all folders on sharing. Have turned off the XP firewall and the 3rd party firewall too. Have gone thru the IIS manager to put 'none' permissions on the Web Service folder. I find that wrestling with the mechanics of this kind of stuff detracts from the programming experience.....primarily because I really haven't even gotten to the programming of it yet..... not sure what is left that can be causing A ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using my own DLL in a new VB.NET project

  I have made a DLL in VB.NET (class library), and wanted to use this DLL in a new VB.NET project. (VS 2005) So i create a new project, and add a reference to the DLL. The problem is, that i can't acces the methods or members of my class. I switched to VB for a few weeks, and used to create my DLL's in C++, so that's why i don't know how to solve this one... The DLL only consists of a few simple classes (members, properties and some basic methods). Can anyone help me out here THX Kenny all the classes are declared public, so it's very strange the members and methods aren't accessible... ...Show All
