• Visual C# Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings'

  Hi, I just have just deployed a ASP.NET 2.0 website, on a live server with other ASP.NET 1.1 applications.   The website seems to generate the error Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings' on repeated visits. The framework versions is already set to ASp.NET 2.0 in the IIS. Any help   Regards, Adnan In the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0\CONFIG folder there is a machine.config file. In this file (or in your web.config file for your application) there is definitions at the top that define what is in the config file. Make sure that you have these definition ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Regarding the "Business Opportunity for Building Applications with Windows Live and MSN Messenger"

  I was wondering if the Kanoodle program was available for Canadian Developers. http://msdn.microsoft.com/live/gettingstarted/businessopp/ Thanks in advance. Yes, the Kanoodle program is available to developers around the world, but currently only for applications that are monetized by users within the United States. The background here is that Kanoodle currently only has ad inventory in the US. But that means you can still build a cool Messenger app w/Kanoodle ads, and you'll get paid for the users in the US that click on the ads in the application.

• Visual C# form collecting

  I have the following line of code in my program that grabs all of the open forms on a page. FormCollection tmp = Application .OpenForms; Now I need to get at the forms that are open. I have a hooker that I need to pass it to but I don't know how to get at the individual forms inside of this list. How do I get to it At its simplest the FormCollection class is just an array of Form objects and because of that you can easily iterate through each one in a foreach loop ala:             foreach ( Form f in tmp)       ...Show All

• Windows Forms Customize built in components, how?

  I checked that out and it does seem more like what I want. I have been trying to learn as much as possible and I think I might need to re-phrase my entire first post. What I think I'm really trying to figure out at this point is how to customize the look of the built in components. For example, I need to have a tabbed MDI. I could create it all with Panels, but I'd have to code the logic for all of the switching. I'd rather take advantage of the TabControl and customize just the parts I want. In this application, the tags look completely different. The tabs have an image background. Additionaly, the "Page" of the tab connects visually in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration benefits

  I just read the announcement about the benefits of registration. I already had registered so of course it didn't let me register again.

• Visual Basic Virtual PC 2004

  I currently use WS 2003 for my operating system.  I am preparing to purchase a new AMD 64 bit  computer and am interested in suggestions for setting it up for both 32 and 64 bit operation.  Is the "Virtual PC 2004" technology a good way to for my 32 and 64 bit operating systems. Thanks, Fred Virtual PC does not support 64 bit Windows. But you can create two partitions on your hard drive, install a 32 bit OS on one and a 64 bit OS on the other. If you really need to, that is, because most 32 bit applications run just fine on 64 bit Windows. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Compiler sending back null exceptions

  In my Try Catch, sometimes the exception returned looks like it is a NULL or space (I can't really tell, just that when I print it out in a MsgBox, it is blank sometimes which causes problems later) sometimes. how can I check the exception for length or something then if it's null, replace that blank exception with some sort of text i I have to pass the execption to my email function and my email function cannot take a null like this...so I need to convert it to a valid string if it is null or blank like this first that is the CLR returing the ex as exception correct string.isnullorempty is what will check if the string has anything ...Show All

• Visual Basic Activex reference problem

  I have a project with a reference to MSWINSK.OCX, which runs fine on the system it was written on. But when I try to make the executable, and run it on another system, I get an error (runtime 429) that the Activex object cant be created. Any help with why this is happening and how to fix it would be great. I already checked and the other system does have the OCX file in the right place. Okay, registered the ocx, restarted, and still doesn't work, anything else I can try ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Additional binaries don't get shadow-copied

  i have three assemblies (class libraries) in my solution: the first one contains classes only (1), the second one contains the interfaces (2) and the third one works as a plugin (3) for 1 (implementing the interfaces from 2). at design-time 1 only references 2; i then have a post-build command that copies the binary from 3 to the bin-folder of 1 (2 gets copied anyway because of the reference). that works fine using my app normally. but when i run a unit-test for 1 the plugin 3 is not found. i checked the log and saw that the assemblies are shadow-copied to some temp folder in the users application data directory. that's a good ...Show All

  To Whom It May Concern: I am about to study Visual Basic for Applications and I entered the article "Visual Basic for Applications 6.3 Features" ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/vba/features/default.aspx ), and apparently VBA 6.3 is on "parity with Visual Basic 6.0". Since I am studying the efficacy and effectiveness of Visual Basic 2005 Express, as well as beginning the exploration of Visual Basic for Applications, I wanted to know, specifically, is Visual Basic for Applications 6.3 "behind" Visual Basic 2005 Express Thanks.

  Can anyone tell me if this is correct ........................ if ( (strcmp( returnVal, "<name> %s </name>" )!=0 ) ) { ................ where returnVal a char*.If not is there any way to correct it This line looks fine to me, as long as returnVal is declared as: char *returnVal; or const char *returnVal = "foo"; don't forget, strcmp returns 0 if the strings are equal, and something other than 0 if they're not (this will reverse the boolean tests). ...Show All
