Visual Studio VS2005 Registration Benefits - not allowed access to Registration Benefit Portal
I just registered my copy of VS2005 Standard Edition that I received at the VS2005 Launch. One of the benefits of registering is free icons, components, etc. When I try to go to the Registration Benefit Portal to download them I get a page stating that the page is missing or I lack authorization. Is there a trick to this -Chris I encountered this same problem yesterday when I registered my copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite. However, when I returned today to the Visual Studio 2005 Registration Benefits Portal (accessed by clicking the "Registration Benefit Portal" link in my "Thank you for registering ...Show All
Visual C# Threading and events . with forms and other threads.
I have been using multiple threads a bit of late. I am using VS C#2003 at present - but may upgrade to 2005, especially if it helps solve this problem! Here goes: Class1 has a slow process going on in a thread. It Has a public event which fires to say how many percent are complete. It also has one to fire with included data when it finishes. Class2 is another slow process with its own thread. It subscribes to Class1_Finished. It also has its own Finished_Event. Form1 Subscribes to all the above events. To my way of thinking, to reduce the overhead of coding we should be able to make it so that the FireXXXXEvent() checks to see ...Show All

SQL Server Embedding literals in RDL that will come through in HTML
I am trying to create some reports that when rendered in HTML are supposed to have some interactivity built into them. I understand that there aren't any facilities in RDL itself that would help facilitate this process for me, but is there any way to embed some literal strings that will come through in the HTML The items I'm trying to finesse through are <script> blocks, checkboxes, and <object> tags. When I use the designer to put these items into textboxes, they get encoded with the HTML values (> instead of >, etc...) so that the code is displayed instead of interpreted. I thought maybe there would be a ...Show All
Smart Device Development SIP Control
Is there a way to enable and disable the SIP keyboard only. In other words I dont want the icon to display since I dont want users to be able to access the 'Options' selection. I have noticed that when I add the control to my form enabled, initially just the soft keyboard is displayed. But once I set enabled=false, then when I set it true again, the sip icon appears. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the design of the SIP is such that the keyboard should not be visible without the icon. My understanding is that this is an accessibility issue, but I am not certain. Sometimes, bugs ar ...Show All
