• Visual Studio Walkthrough on class designer

  I can't find a good walkthrough on using the class designer.  The library has lots of How Tos but they are circular and never show an in depth example of using the designer to create a new class or module or any of the other choices.  I looked at the channel 9 programs but a walkthrough is much more useful.  Can anybody point me to an in depth article or walkthrough dennist Your references should keep me busy for quite a while.  Thanks for your help. dennist ...Show All

• Visual Studio ReportViewer control - protected memory error when printing

  Hello, When me or my users try to print from the Windows Forms ReportViewer control to a specific printer (using PCL), the following error appears in the ReportViewerControl client area: Attempted to read or write protected memory.

The error appears after choosing the printer to print to and selecting "Print" from the dialog. The "Printng page x of <reportname>" window never appears. Does anyone know of this or a similar problem occuring elsewhere or if there are any down ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Robot Invaders: terrible SDKs, please allow others/self-written ?

  I think it's a great idea to have a contest about creating bots. Bots are growing very popular, and a contest like this is a great way to show off what messenger can do. The criteria are very acceptable too, especially integrating activities would be a lot of fun. I had some great bot ideas, and I was very very eager to work them out, but there was one major thing that spoilt it all: You are forced to use one of the three SDKs on the site to be eligible for the prizes. This might not appear to be a very controversial rule, after all it's Microsoft's contest, so microsoft makes up the rule. However, I am quite certain that anyone that actuall ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce file extension registration

  In the ClickOnce FAQ at http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx PageID=2&ItemID=17&CategoryID=24&tabindex=2 it says: "Some low impact tasks such as file type registration can be achieved with first time app-startup logic in your application" How can I register a file name extension which will invoke my ClickOnce deployed application If one can find the .exe on disk and register this one then ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed is false. So this seems like a dead end. Any help would be appreciated.   /Lars Given the restrictions, how about an MSI file as a prerequisite which w ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF and WSS (Windows Sharepoint Services) 2003

  Hi, I have to make a document's workflow that host in Sharepoint 2003. Can I use Windows Sharepoint Services 2003 with WF If not, then, must I use partner products like K2.NET Thanks in advance Ignacio You can use WF with pretty much any current Microsoft technologies -- it's not so much a 'is it possible' so much as it is a 'how much work is it.' You might consider hosting WF in a windows service on your host machine that receives messages from a document library event handler. You can also add smart doc capabilities to the documents that communicate with the WF windows service as well ...Show All

• SQL Server Send Mail Task Error

  Hi, I am using a foreach loop with a sql query to generate numerous rows of information. I am in turn taking each row and placing the information into an Excel SpreadSheed. The problem seems to be that when I am using a Send Mail Task and have the Excel sheet as an attachment, I cant delete it when necessary.

The problem stops only if I dont use the file as an attachment. Any ideas on how to fix this Got the bug, thanks. We're looking at ...Show All

• Smart Device Development OpenNETCF.Threading.EventWaitHandle not working in emulator

  Not too sure if this is the right place to post this issue. (Or is my question better directed over at the OpenNETCF forums ) I seem to be having a bit of an issue trying to get the OpenNETCF Notification Sample working on the Windows Mobile 5.0 (Pocket PC) emulator. I can set the event to run in 5 minutes, but nothing happens after 5 minutes has elapsed. My reason for thinking I may be an issue with the emulator is due to when I click on the "power" button and do a reset of the emulator (after the 5 minutes had elapsed), my "alert" kicks in. Very odd. Or is this an known issue with the emulator (I don't have an actual devic ...Show All
