• Windows Forms ClickOnce file extension registration

  In the ClickOnce FAQ at http://www.windowsforms.net/FAQs/default.aspx PageID=2&ItemID=17&CategoryID=24&tabindex=2 it says: "Some low impact tasks such as file type registration can be achieved with first time app-startup logic in your application" How can I register a file name extension which will invoke my ClickOnce deployed application If one can find the .exe on disk and register this one then ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed is false.

• .NET Development File access permissions needed by Xml.Serialization.Compiler

  I have an application that is trying to instantiate a class derived from System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol. I'm simply instantiating it -- nothing more. When the application is run by a user who has administrator rights on the PC, it works. But when the application is run by a user who does not have administrator access, I get a UnauthorizedAccessException. The stack trace is below. It looks as though Web.Services might be using Xml.Serialization.Compiler.Compile and at some point it needs to access or create a file in a location that the non-administrator user does not have access to. I thought at first that this might b ...Show All

• Visual C# StripMenu + Database

  How to create a dynamic strip menu with database provided data, where the itens was showed according user permission. Hi! Here is some sample from one of my projects. My application can work with multiple insurance companies and only one may be selected as active at single moment of time. I intercept DropDownOpening event to read SQL table with companies and build a list of choices. Last thing was to add "add/modify..." item. Or if you can prepare menus for all possible cases you may simply read from SQL enabled state and apply to each menu item's Visible property. SQL table might looks like these 2 columns [User,MenuNam ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I write a file longer than 2gb on ntfs disk using fputc etc. in VC++ 2003?

  Can I write a file longer than 2gb on ntfs disk using fputc etc. in VC++ 2003 I have created AVI files larger than 2gb on XP-ntfs disk but none of the media programs (WMplayer. VirtualDub) can read them. Any suggestions where to start looking for the problem. Thanks, RON C I would suggest for starters that unless it gives you this ability especially, that you should not use fputc ( unless you're coding in C ). Use iostreams instead. I've done the same ,written files > 2GB and found they could not be read. The tail end of your question makes me wonder if you're really asking if the files you create can later be read ...Show All

• .NET Development SSL on TCP Socket, how in .NET 1.1?

  Is there a way, using intrinsic .NET framework functionality, to open a TCP connection over an SSL channel   I'd rather not get into buying libraries, etc.  Java has the javax.net.ssl.* objects, and I'm not finding an equivalent in .NET. I looked all over the Internet, but nowhere a pointer/solution can be found. Please note this is a socket connection, not an HTTPS connection. Also, it's about .NET version 1.1. Any hints/tips/remarks/howto's (if even possible) would be greatly appreciated... Okay, that shines some light. The reason I was asking, is that I have to develop an EPP client, which ...Show All
