  Can you give me a hint how to let my shellextension create symbolic links from explorer.exe More in Detail: My ShellExtension calls CreateSymbolicLink, which needs at least a manifest containing 'requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable"' or you get GetLastError=ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD from CreateSymbolicLink.

• Visual Basic MSComm32.ocx in VB.Net problem

• Visual Studio Visual Studio.Net and VSS Integration/Sharing Issue

  Hi. I'm sharing a solution between two VSS repository locations. Everything works fine except for the Deploy Projects (*.vdproj). Apparently there's something in vdproj files that is sensitive to its location in VSS and ends up in disagreement with the bindings in the solution file. Anyone else have experience with this What did you do Thanks. Sharing solutions/projects files between 2 locations in the VSS database is totally unrecommended. You're messing up with the bindings information, with the delete and rename propagation, with the checkout local version feature and with the merging information. In some cases it might ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial port properties NOT binding.

  There seems to be some problem (bug ) with the serial port properties binding. I have : Baudrate, Databits, Handshake, Parity, Portname and StopBits set up as binding, the little binding symbol appears next to the name and also they are all listed under the Application Settings. Of all the above only the HandShake (Flow control) is properly saved on exit and restored at startup, all other values for the serial port revert to the default state rather than the state on exit. Other settings for other controls are all saved/restored ok except the above. Can anyone one shed any light on this please Perhaps someone who uses serial ports can try it ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextBox input validation

  How can I validate input for my textboxes For example I have an application where I want to input several numbers in the textboxes. The primary validation constraint is that I want the user to be able to input only valid real numbers. Some of the textboxes should contain only positive real numbers. Also I want to be able to do comparisons between the different values (for example I have a minimum speed textbox, and maximum speed textbox, so there's one more rule here: min <= max). Also, if the user is currently editing a textbox, he should be able to cancel the modifications, by pressing escape. How can I do all these with Avalon/WPF Tha ...Show All
