• .NET Development VB6 and CCW's

  Hi, I need to start writing a set of classes that will be used by our VB6 application. Because I have'nt done much in the past with COM interop, I was getting a bit confused as to what attributes I need to use on my managed classes. for example, do I need GuidAttribute and ClassInterface and ProgId, or just a few of these Remebering that these .NET classes will only be used by our VB6 code, nothing else. Thanks for your help Graham The attributes are optional, yes - as is defining a class interface - but these are important things to do or you will have development and deployment hastles. I've answered many, ...Show All

• Visual C# Open a file on a network resource

  I am trying to write an ASP.Net 2.0 (c#) that will open document files (.doc or .pdf) on a network resource (ie. '\\network_location\files\document.pdf") that requires user authentication.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to troubleshoot custom designer for sequential workflow

  Hello, In the post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=160891&SiteID=1 , Arjun describes how to define a custom designer for a sequential workflow.  As noted in that post, I've tried to imitate Arjun's steps but my custom designer does not appear to be loading.  I'm reposting the following to hopefully get some visibility: I've tried overriding the HelpText and ShowSmartTag properties but I don't see any change to the designer.  I also put debug statements in the constructor of the MyDesigner code and they don't get displayed.  I've attached to the devenv.exe process in another instance and set ...Show All

• Visual Basic Cookies are not retain in a new I.E. Browser window if created from a winform using AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser or WebBrowser.

  Hi, It looks like I am not retianing cookies. I can only assume this, becuase I don't have first hand access to the website that I need to use. I have used both (AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser - COM and WebBrowser - controler) in a winform and get the same results... The probem comes to play when a new window is created by a webpage (not my own and I do not have control over that website) from the webbrowser control and then the cookies are not sent to this new I.E. browser. But, note that if you remain in the same window (single instance of the web browser control) it seems that the cookies are sent to the next page. I need to display t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build failures after upgrade to RTM trial

  Hi, We just moved from RC to RTM trial. In doing so, we did not go through upgrade process but rather made a clean install of trial edition which will update with product key when our vendor gets them to us. Anyhow, I've added my source back to a new team project and created my team build and updated TFSBuild.proj to the one I had working in RC. I also created a simple test build for the same project via team build wizard. The simple build works fine meaning it gets source, builds binaries, and drops on unc. The build that I migrated gets source fine but then hangs in MsBuild.exe. If I kill the msbuild.exe on server then the team build will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to: Customize the build reports

  Hey there, I already know how to add lines in the build log file. But now I need to add information to the report that ends up on the project portal. I have read the SDK part about extending the Team Foundation Reporting Warehouse but I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for... Any pointers Thanks!!! If you want to add information that's already in the warehouse to the report, then you can just edit the report to include that. For example, if you want to add the number of bugs found in a build (and your Bug work item type uses the Found In Build field), then add the Cumulative Count measure, sliced by Found In.Build.

• .NET Development Problem with 'Oracle client' and 'ODPnetOnly'

  Hi all ! I have both Oracle Client and ODPnetonly on my system. They have their different homes. If the path of Oracle Client (D:\oracle\ora90\BIN) is before the path of ODPnetonly (D:\odpnetonly\bin), then I have a problem. In this case, my web applications (in C#.net) don’t work but my console applications (in C#.net) do. And if I change the path of ODPnetonly before the path of Oracle, then my web-applications work but my console applications don't. So please tell me what is wrong with my system. Is there any problem regarding installation of 'Oracle Client' or ODPnetonly (I installed 'Oracle Client' before the OD ...Show All
