• Visual C# ListView with CheckBoxes checks unwanted checkboxes

  I'm using C# 2.0, and have a problem with a listview. I've turned on CheckBoxes and have my View set to List. The problem that I'm seeing is that the spacebar always checks an item, even if it's part of another items name. For example, if you create a new form, and drop a ListView called listview1 onto it, then put this code into the form Load event: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { listView1.CheckBoxes = true; listView1.View = View.List; listView1.Items.Add("Apple"); listView1.Items.Add("Banana"); listView1.Items.Add("Bananas"); listView1.Items.Ad ...Show All

• Visual C# Detecting dead Out of Process COM server

  Hello all, Is it possible from a client application to quickly test if a COM server is dead I have a problem where I have a tray application to shutdown all components of my application cleanly, if one of my components (a windows service ATL based COM object) is hung then trying to clean up nicely in my tray application hangs also before I can even try shutting down the service. I guess what I am looking for is some kind of call which pings through RPC to get latency or something or barring that at least an API to control timeout in the RPC call itself, I believe it defaults to 8 minutes which is not acceptable for this application.

• Windows Forms Creating a shortcut in Startup group

  I have used ClickOnce to deploy my application and everything works great. However, I really would like to create a shortcut in the Startup group so that my application will run when they startup. I realize that this functionality isn't available on the install but I was thinking that I could write to the registry when the users click a checkbox in the Settings portion of the application, that would create a shortcut in that group (checkbox would be: Run program when Windows starts). Great concept...however...the application is installed in the ClickOnce cache and not a specific folder (Program Files...). So, my question is: how co ...Show All

  In the RTM of TFS will we be able to delete past team builds from within the IDE or are will still limited to using tfsbuild delete from the command line Thanks Thank YOU SO MUCH Ling!  Works like a charm!  One question though.  I'm assuming that the build list must contain at least on listitem   I tried importing a new global list for the build list and the schema doesn't allow an <GLOBALLIST> item with no <LISTITEM> defined.  Also <LISTITEM value = ""> is not allowed either.  Is this possible or by design Thanks again! ...Show All
