• Visual C# MessageBox

  I kno I have posted this before, but I didnt get the response I was looking for. I have a messagebox, and when it pops up, I want every part of the computer to be inaccessable until the user presses ok in the messagebox. Can someone tell me how to do this I'm faily new to c#, but from what I've learned you can only make your application inaccessable with a messagebox not the entire computer. Thats what managed code is all about, so that your code doesnt interfere with other applictions. Look into unmanaged code. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Invalid Build Type

  I have a problem running build types through the IDE. I created our Team projects and added build types for each through the wizard. One project has no problem running the build type. Most of the others state "BuildTypeName is not a valid build type". And the last project states I need "update Build Permissions". None of my permissions changed in between creating any of these project, so I am not not sure why I get that last error. As far as the "not a valid build type" message, this happens with just the wizard generated code. I thought maybe I had edited some value incorrectly inside the XML, but even unedited build type files give this er ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sheduling API Feature Request

  Are there plans for a task scheduling API as in SQL Server I've seen many workflow applications written as a number of EXEs just so they can use the configurable Windows Schedule Tasks similarly people control workflow from SQL server because it has a powerful scheduling ability. This would be an extremely useful inclusion as a configurable managed API . There are many tasks which need activating at certain times but also need to check for other conditions and then be put to sleep for a period if not met. It is a chore writing these because they take a while to test and the business rules can change once implemented.  They alw ...Show All
