• Windows Forms Opening a website in a browser, in a NEW window

  Hi Rck   Process.Start works pretty much like cmd.exe. For that you have to use Process.Start("IExplore.exe", sLink).   If you want the same behavior as WinKey+R, you'll have to use Process.Start("Explorer.exe", sLink). -- Paulo Morgado MCSD.NET - C# MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/profile=D4A89909-0CCC-4D8B-8E7B-AB0F3DEB1E66   <Rick Hodder@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:97d52e82-7cd5-4a1b-bbeb-78f4df3d9829@discussions.microsoft.com ...

• SQL Server msdb..backupset.backup_finish_date -- changes from SQL2000?

  It appears that the behavior has changed for the backupset table in the MSDB database between versions. In SQL2000 backup_start_date & backup_finish_date were populated correctly. In 2005, backup_finish_date is the same as the backup_start_date value. Is this a bug or should I be looking for my backup timing elsewhere in 2005 Thank you. Your info helps. Our start/finish times do NOT include the time it takes to open the media set and prepare it for writing. The time only includes the time that is actually spent transferring data. This is the same logic as exists in sql2000. For exampl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cancel from an AddNew in DataGridView

  HI All, I have a win form with a DataGRidView bound through a BindingSource to a table in a Dataset. (All VS2005 of course). The way I would like the app to work is the user clicks on the new row (the asterix row selector) on the DataGridView to indicate they want a new row. This then pops up a dialog that lets them select which of an available set of entries they want to add. The list is potentially big, which is why its not just a dropdown on the grid. If the user then decides they do not want to add a row after all, I want them to be able to cancel the add, and the app should finish up with the same empty datagridview they starte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error installing under Checked XPSP2 - Win Installer 3.1

  Trying to install the final build of VS 2005 under the Checked/Debug build of Windows XP. My last try was a fresh install of XP followed by the Checked/Debug SP2 update. Cannot get past an error in the first step of VS 2005 trying to install Windows Installer 3.1. I downloaded the 3.1 Installer redistributable to see if it would install by itself.  It displays a message saying that the Checked version of XP cannot be updated with the Retail Win 3.1 Installer and vice-versa. Is a checked version of 3.1 Installer available I do not think there is a checked installer for MSI 3.1. I will find out if there is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Starting another program from code

  Hello. I am having difficulty finding out how to do something very simple I believe. That is, I want to start another application from within my application. For example, if I were to write my own menu app and I wanted to allow the user to execute "\windows\notes.exe", how can I do this Any help would be greatly appreciated. btw... I've researched system.diagnostics.process.start but my code editor does not seem to recognize this. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() is indeed what you want. It, however, did not exsist until .NETCF 2.0. Are you using v1 or v2 What code editor are you using If ...Show All

• .NET Development AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath Depricated

  I get a CS0618 that AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath is obsolete. The suggestion is to use AppDomainSetup.PrivateBinPath instead, but no matter how I set it, PrivateBinPath remains null. I am trying to update AppDomain.CurrentDomain after the domain is started. Is AppDomainSetup the correct way to go It seems this would only apply at creation of the domain, and I need to make this modification after the AppDomain has started. Thanks i have the same problem. is there no way of changing the private bin path of the base domain. i used to do this using the AppendPrivatePath, how do i do the exact functionality of ...Show All

• SQL Server Reference variables with identical names but different scopes

  Hi, I have a script task that can "see" 2 variables with identical names. The only difference is that they are scoped differently. As far as I know my script task will use the most locally scoped variable by default. Is there any way to make it use the other one -Jamie   DarrenSQLIS wrote: Give people a chance, you only posted a few hours ago! Saying that from all we have learnt about the “precedence” behaviour of variables and scope, I certainly don’t think it can be done. Did you suggest a fully qualified syntax to access higher variables I’d quite like that, but not a big deal for me (yet). Yeah I know, sorry,&nb ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mouse Hit Testing when primatives used not meshes

  I did search the existing threads and have read them - those that I can understand - but they do not seem to apply - at least with my limited understanding. I have a "2D" card game started in DirectX3D using managed C#. I read Tom Miller's book as the basis and starting point. I have several "playing" cards rendered as CustomVertex.PositionedNormalTextured that I add to a VertexBuffer. I draw them with the DrawPrimatives call. The are all "flat" (have the same Z axis) so that should help, and there is nothing "behind" them. Simply non-overlapping cards arrange on the screen. Everything works g ...Show All
