• Smart Device Development Simple way to "make single instance application" with a VB WinCE 5.0 App?

  I know that in a windows application written in VB .NET 2005 there is an application property to set that will allow only one instance of the application to run. How can I do this in a VB .NET 2005 CF program targeting WinCE 5.0 There is a aticle on MSDN, Creating a Microsoft .NET Compact Framework-based Process Manager Application dass that shows you how to get all running processes. Iterate trough alle running processes and lookup if your process isn't allready running, if so; inform the user and close. ...Show All

• .NET Development Sending Windows Messages

  I am playing around trying to send messages to windows (specifically close messages and specific messages to dialog boxes). I am using visual studio 2003, and am using the windows API to try to send the messages. What I have found is that FlashWindow and CloseWindow work, MoveWindow kind of works (it does respond, but does some weird things), but SendMessage and DestroyWindow do nothing. Following is the code I have been tinkering with, does anyone have any advice (eg. are there any .NET framework classes which can help me here): Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpW ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Access files names and directories

  Hi, I am trying to make a new rule that checks the files (and resources) names and their directories hierarchy inside the project how can i access the names and paths Have a great time. Regards, FxCop is a binary checker, unfortunately, so there's no good way to accomplish what you're after using our rules SDK. Again, you could dig around in method bodies looking for all source information that's located in PDBs, but this would be a very indirect way to go about things. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get field value in attribute constructor?

  There is a StringValueAttribute attribute.  The user can use it to associate string values with an enumeration field. In the first constructor of StringValueAttribute, two string arguments are passed and can be used to explicitly assigned to _databaseValue and _resourceKey.  This is illustrated in MyEnum.EnumValue1. My question is in the second constructor with only one string argument.  Since the resource key string is not passed in, I hope to get the enum field value EnumValue2 and then use value.ToString() as the resrouce key.  But how to get this enum field value   This is illustrated in MyEnum.EnumValue2 . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSF Agile: Primary Persona in scenario description template?

  Hi,     Where in the Scenario Description Template (Scenario Description.doc) is the primary persona set I couldn't find any placeholder for that! Is it missing     I think it would be great to have a placeholder for it in the first page, so that you don't have to read the scenario description just to find it out. Thanks! Hi Mariano,     Thanks for pointing that out! You are quite right, it is missing. We have an update scheduled to be posted on MSDN this week for the agile process. We'll have a fix for this that matches what you have described. Thanks again. Randy MSF ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio 2005 - "Generate Create Script" for SQL 2000 stored procedure

  Hello. I have noticed that "Generate Create Script" feature changed in VS 2005 (compared to 2003). In VS 2003 this feature was displaying dialog window where I could choose some options on what to include in script and where to place it. In VS 2005 this feature just creates SQL script in "Create Scripts" folder, without any intermediate dialog, and now it uses sp_executesql procedure in a script. Is there any way to change this behaviour (back to what it used to be in VS 2003) Thanks Iouri   I guess this is a wrong forum - I'll try to re-post this in "Visual Studio General". ...Show All
