• .NET Development ApplicationSettingsBase and Default Values

  I want to specify a default value for a property specified in my hand crafted class (based on ApplicationSettingsBase). The property returns a custom type for which the attribute DefaultSettingsValue does not apply. i.e. it is a list of custom objects. Something like: [ ApplicationScopedSetting ()] public IList < CarrierBase > InsuranceCarriers{ get { return ( IList < CarrierBase >) this [ "InsuranceCarriers" ]; } set { this [ "InsuranceCarriers" ] = value ; } } I could add some custom initialization in the constructor (which I'm not sure will work yet) or is there a more &qu ...Show All

• SQL Server The Poor VB6 guy - database help

  I have a production applicaton today ran by 120 businesses across the nation. Today our application is a VB6 front end with an Access 2000 backend. The problem.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook localization problem after install

  I'm developing an add-in for Outlook 2003 in C# that uses localization (two languages: one default and one additional). The user can change the display language via a menu in the application form. Everything works perfectly in debug-mode and when the add-in is installed on a computer with Visual Studio and VSTO. However, when I install the add-in on a computer without Visual Studio and VSTO the change language-function stops working, i.e. only the default language is accessible. The language resource is placed in the install folder just at it should be, but for some reason the add-in can't access it. Does anyone have any idea wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions [VWD] Deleting a website

  It's really easy to create a new website.  But, how do I delete them, once I'm through playing with them   I can not find a delete/remove option anywhere.  I tried removing the files, but VWD just re-creates them again. -Larry Hi to anyone reading this. I babbled a bit above as I had spent a fraught 2 days trying to get VWD to operate as the blurb says it would. Then having created loads of dummy sites I like the users above found there was no way to delete them. I tried FelixFlores86 method and for me it partly worked - eventually once i realized I had to also delete the sites from IIS (I'm u ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What books to get

  I have looked at the local book store for books on programming. There seems to be a selection of books on VB6 and also on VB.Net.

Whatever book(s) you get, get those that cover VB2005. The other versions, won't help you with VB2005.
