• Visual Basic WebBrowser 2005 : Handling dialog boxes

  I am using the 2005 .NET WebBrowser object to automatically navigate through some pages. Occasionally, the web page navigated to will create a dialog box alerting the user to something that then requires the 'OK' button to be pressed.  Of course, this will stop my application from any more automation until the dialog is closed. I have tried using 'SendKeys.send' for the enter key and spacebar in the 'document_completed' event but that event fires before the message box has focus.  Even if it did work, it seems like a hack, since I am just blindly sending this keystroke. I would prefer to be able to either disable the message box.&n ...Show All

• Visual C++ different location for *.ncb file

  Hello, we have our *.vcproj files on the network. But all created files (*.obj, *.lib...) are stored on the local disc for performance reasons. But till now, I didn't found a way, that the *.ncb files (with VC 2005 they are really big) saved on local disc too. Not in the same diectories as the *.vcproj files. Do you any solution Thanks for your efforts Markus   HI: Browse Information is controlled via the /FR<File> or /Fr<File>. As with /Fo, the <File> portion can be a directory. In Visual Studio, select properties for the project you want, and under "Configuration Properties -> C/ ...Show All

• Visual C# locking write access to generic list

  Hi, I have a generic list that is accessed within a method for write access, as well as in a timer triggered method. The problem is when the timer triggers at the same time as the other method is triggered I get a CollectionModified exception while iterating through the collection. Thus I'd like to know if there is any way to lock the write access to the collection while one method executes and accesses it Thanks, Tom ah, I only had it in the one method and forgot it in the timer method ... that's why I was wondering why it didn't work :) thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I Create an Access DataBase Without Access?

  I don't own Access and this is for Learning Purposes.... Can I create an Access DataBase with my own Schema(I guess that's the word) with VBE or any Other Way I downloaded Northwind.... Can I change Northwind schema without Access Thanks   Yes. I know you could do it with DAO. I'm not sure about ADO. Since ADO.NET is a little less faciliated in persisting, the USE of ADOX has been recommended to me for things like table creation and storage and I find that it works very well with VB.NET. I've installed systems based upon access databases on on target systems that did not have access. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Most flexible deployment is to GAC?

  Working on a VSTO Word application. Users will need to be able to pull documents from a Sharepoint site that use the app as well as email them to each other, and also be able to work offline... Right now I have decided to install the assemblies into the application folder. However, I assume that if two users install into different app folders (or if Program Files is on D: for one user...) then they cannot email the document from one user to another and have it work (I haven't tested this yet). So it seems the best place to install the assemblies would be in the user's GAC and have them strong named and refer to them that way from the d ...Show All
