Visual J# Editable Label in J#
Is editable label available in J#, or is there any source code available Thanks. Hi, If you are taliking about text box (something which user can edit in the runnnig app) then yes it is supported in J#. To use it... 1. Create a J# Windows application (File > New > Project). 2. Drag and Drop a Text Box control from ToolBox to designer. 3. Manupulate the Text property of this check box as per your need. If you want to have a static label (user can't edit the contents but programatically it can be changed) then drag and Drop a Label from ToolBox. Hope it helps. Post back if you have any issues. ...Show All

.NET Development How to send a string from one program to another?
Is there a way to send a (small) string from one program to another assuming that both programs are on the same PC I have tried using a tcp client and server connection between the two programs. This works, but I was wondering if there was a more efficient way to do this. Thanks for any ideas, MisterT Use System.Messaging namespace. One app creates a queue or both and use can send object to each queue. Just think in real world terms. The Message object under System.Messaging is a letter and the queue is the letter box.

Visual Studio Team System Team Build Test Config Deployment Issue
When we add a deployment folder to a test config the items will deploy without any issue locally. However, when we use the same test run config in a team build the build fails to deploy the items correctly and the build fails to run the tests. To reproduce this create a solution with a test project and a DB project. Add some files to the Create Scripts folder in the DB project. Add a unit test to the test project that passes. Under Solution Items right click on the test run config and choose properties. Add the Create Scripts folder from the DB project to the deployment items (Note: add the folder not the individual items). Run the unit test ...Show All
