• Windows Forms Can you "refresh" the property browser

  Hello All, I am extending a Window's control by adding a new Public Property named AltText which will replace the Text property in certain run time situations. At Designe time, I want to update the Text property with AltText if it is changed. AltText shows up correctly in the Property browser and if I drag a control onto the form's design surface it correctly displays AltText. I also update the standard Text property to the new value. The problem is the Text property in the Property browser is not immediately updated when I do that. If the Text property is not physically showing in the browser when I change AltText it is correct when I ...Show All

  Hi, How can I branch folder with all the DLL's files Making branch from the IDE does not copy the DLL's file (RC version).

• Visual Basic some question about shortcut

  how to know any shortcut --> what file and how to create a shortcut to a file i tried open .lnk file with notepad ,and i find it have " DATA: C:\windows\....... " ,but i can't "opentext" it and get that string The easiest way to create a shortcut is when you are using a setup project. In the File System Editor, right click on a file or project output group and select Create Shortcut. Then move this shortcut to the folder you want it to be in. I don't know of an easy way to do this via .NET Frameworks code. You might have to work with the Win32 API to do it. &n ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Removing junk characters

  Hi, I am reading from a text file into a textbox and then separating items which are separated by a vbCrLf, and adding them to a list box. When I do this, at the end of each item, a box character appears, which then affects my database search as the string has a box in it. Can anyone suggest a way to overcome this Thanks, James Like this: { 'Create an OpenFile dialog if neccessary If fdlgOpen Is Nothing Then _ fdlgOpen = New OpenFileDialog 'Save the file name strCurrentFile = "F:\Documents and Settings\James Tucker\My Documents\BSc Computer Studies\Year 3\Fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Hello World

  Hi Guys,  What version of the compiler do you ship.  It says it is version 13, but from what I've heard the latest compiler is version 7.1 or possibly 8.0. Regards in advanced Chris     That's a small piece of history . The Visual Studio IDE 2005 it's version 8.0 but the C/C++ compiler (and other related tools like the linker) predates the Visual Studio IDE so they have a higher version number. So you have: Visual Studio 2002 = VS 7.0  with C/C++ compiler 13.0 Visual Studio 2003 = VS 7.1 with C/C++ compiler 13.1 Visual Studio 2005 = VS 8.0 witch C/C+ ...Show All

• Visual Basic XP Firewall, Port Blocking and OneClick

  My app uses sockets to communicate, and Click-Once for installation (allowed to run locally.) After every update the XP firewall asks to unblock my app. Is there any way to tell XP that I'm the same app, even though (because of where one-click installs) I'm running from a different folder Users end up with dozens of instances of my app in their firewall exceptions list. Thanx! ---Mike There is no way to inform XP that two different exes comming from two different folder are actually the same app (or update to the same app in this case) I believe (never tried it myself) that using the "netsh firewall . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Beta 3 Supported OS List

  Per the Team Foundation Installation Guide ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=E54BF6FF-026B-43A4-ADE4-A690388F310E&displaylang=en ), Windows XP is a supported installation platform.  However, when trying to install Beta 3 on Windows XP Pro the installation reports that the prerequisite of Windows Server 2003 has not been met.  Is this a misprint in the install guide or just not supported in Beta 3 Thanks for any insight you can provide. Windows XP Professional is definately supported.  We recommend you upgrade to SP2 (as this is what we have been testing on) and any other critical fixes. If af ...Show All

• SQL Server Service Broker neophyte question: conversation_id and conversation handle

  within the context of the sys.conversation_endpoints system view, there is: 1. A conversation_handle    and 2. A conversation_id What are the differences between these two items Thanks. Doug    conversation_id uniquely identifies a conversation and is the same at both the initiator as well as target. On the other hand conversation_handle uniquely identifies a conversation endpoint and is different for a given conversation at the initiator and the target. You should use conversation_handles for sending or receiving messages on a conversation just like you would ...Show All

• Visual C# Sending mail with Outlook Express ?

  I have a program that sends email, using C#. The problem is, the client wants a copy of the mail in their outbox. I've made this work by sending the mail in Outlook 2003, but apparently, most of the users have earlier versions, or (predominantly) Outlook Express. I don't want to generate an email that they have to click 'send' on, I want to send the mail, and stuff it into their Outbox. It's bad enough that outlook 2003 makes them wait 5 seconds and click a button to make it work. Any suggestions on how to further automate this process, or to automate it for Outlook Express, will be met with much appreciation. Thanks for reading how ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Will be UDT's support in DLINQ?

  Now, in early look, it's impossible. For example we can't write something like this [ Table ] public class Line { [ Column (DbType = "UniqueIdentifier NOT NULL" , Id = true )] public Guid LineID; [ Column (DbType = "Point" )] public Point A; [ Column (DbType = "or may it must be Udt " )] public Point B; } and call db.CreateDatabase(); because of fact, that UDT's can be deployed only at already existing database.
