• Visual Studio Dynamically determining link type

  I'm just getting started with what may become a fairly complex DSL.  Assume I have a bunch of elements in my domain model, with a variety of link types.  In the designer, I'd like to be able to drag a "generic" link between two shapes, then have it dynamically turn into the appropriate link type (assuming there is a valid link).  If there's no valid link type between the two shapes, there should be a visual indication during the d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MSFlexGrid init fails only on some boxes with "Class is not licensed for use"

  My app has been using the MSFlexGrid OCX control for years. My install CD registers the beast automatically (an old InstallShield v6.22 app, but it works). Previous versions of the app have worked fine on all versions of Windows. Now it fails but only on one particular box. After porting to Studio 2005 the OCX fails to initialize in the call to it's class factory's CreateInstance function with the following parameters: clsid = { ...Show All

• Visual C# Query DataBase Pt. 2

  Ok. I've gotten a lil farther but I am still having problems. In my database, I have a column named "SongName", and in the records, I have a song named "Ashanti - Baby".

But when I put the following code: SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE SongName LIKE 'A*'; The query doesnt pull up anything. Can someone tell me what the problem is I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom Project Template: Custom Parameters that use scripts?

  I am converting a Visual Studio .NET 2003 custom project template to VS 2005.  So far it is working except for a tiny detail, and the new format is going to be much much easier for me to maintain, thanks for all the hard work the VS team has put into the redesign! With VS 2003, I had to make changes to a JScript file and if I called the method wizard.AddSymbol, I could create a variable that I could easily access in the program's source fi ...Show All

• Visual C# Installing Windows Services during runtime

  Aloha, I've been trying to install a Windows service during runtime in Visual C# without using any seperate programs like installutil.exe. The MSDN library barely gives any information on this, always referring to installutil.exe or a full MSI installer package, neither of which can be done in runtime. I'm wondering if it's even possible to do this during runtime. Perhaps it would be better (but messier) to directly alter the registry perhaps ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Where to get Setup Projects

  Hi,    I have read in the help files for VC++ Express about creating a setup project so as to be able to deploy my program. I have not been able to find the setup projects in VC++ Express.

• Windows Forms How to get constant pen width when scaling graphics?

  Hi! In the application I develop, objects consisting of lines are drawn on a control. Now i would like implement a zoom feature in my application. The idea is to implement the zoom by a scaling transform in the control's OnPaint method. This scaling will also affect the line widths of my objects, but I want the lines i draw to have the same widths always. I thought I could solve this by inverting the trans ...Show All
