• Software Development for Windows Vista win32 api future???

  is microsoft going to stop supporting the win32api is it going to create a new api for win64 or will it stop with the unmanaged code. if so wont it kill the language because c++ is aimed towards performance not simplicity and that's what managed code is all about, so wouldn't c++ become history, and c# be the next ruler will microsoft create, maintain and support the win api for unmanaged code, using c++ Windows Vista contains over 4000 new Win32 style APIs so it's safe to assume that Microsoft will continue to support and possibly expand Win32 for years to come.

• Visual Studio Team System no notifications...

  see... this is where having an actual "Admin" is usefull... I dont know where the problem is, so be gentle. after getting TFS setup (which felt more like surviving a train wreck), getting users with the right permissions setup on the domain, and everything else under the sun that has to be done to get this bad boy up and running, I still have one last problem. from the sharepoint site, I'm trying to add users. I've used sharepoint before, and when I've added users for the site, it usually sends an email. also (I have no clue if these 2 things are related, but I have a strange feeling that they are), when I create work i ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom connection manager development sample?

  Does anyone has code/sample/tutorial/pointer to developing custom connection manager with a custom UI. And then developing a custom task with a custom UI that can point to this custom connection manager... and passing values during runtime from UI to the custom class.

• Visual Basic Auto Include referenced assemblies

  I have a feeling this is going to be one of those questions where I should already know this, but...

• Smart Device Development Date Time changing based on timezones??

  I have a application which passes dates/times back and forth via web services.  The server is EST.  The pda is CST -1 hour.  The PDA downloads the data from the web service and insterts it in SQL CE.  When the user views the info it is 1 hour off. If the user adjusts the timezone on the pda to EST it works fine.   Any help on how to tell the app to ignore timezones Thanks, Aaron OK, and just to be sure, this is right after sl.GetTickets returns And is the conversion 2005-09-27 -> 2005-09-07 a typo, or does this actually happen Anyway, it seems the PDA is misin ...Show All

• Visual Basic How Can I Access Other Open Application Windows?

  I am trying to write a program that interacts with another third party application window. They do not expose an API that I can use, so I have to hack my way through it. The sad thing is I have actually done this in the past (I had to process a large number of cases, so I wrote a routine that pulled case numbers from an open excel window, and then closed them out in this third party application). I just can't remember how I accessed and discovered the other open application windows! What I am really trying to accomplish is to be able to verify the appropriate application window is open, dock my application to the side of it, and read ...Show All
