• Windows Forms Full-Trust and Internet Zone Workarounds?

  Hi all, My application requires full trust, but it's just a freeware application that I want anyone to be able to install from my web site. At this point the only way to install it from my site is to add the site to your "Trusted Sites" in IE. This, obviously, is less than ideal for Joe User. Is there any way we can get around this Could I, for example, allow them to download a copy of the deployment files and run them from a local folder, then have it check my web site for updates Or would the updates themselves mean that the site needs to be trusted It seems that for a little free application like mine I'm going to be forced away from Cli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Subfolder overwrite issue in Team System RTM

  Hello, We've run into a frustrating problem with the Team System RTM involving drag and drop operations in the IDE that overwrite files in subfolders. The issue is illustrated here with an animated GIF movie: http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/teamsystem/archive/2006/03/31/Subfolder_overwrite_issue_in_Team_System_RTM.aspx James Manning confirmed this as well, so I think it's a bug in the RTM. I need to figure out a few things now: 1) Can anyone can think of a good workaround for this bug In other words, how do we overwrite existing files in the IDE with new versions 2) Is there any ETA for a hotfix on this bug How long will we have to wai ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions cannot open form in design view

  Hi i saved a visual basic 2005 project containing two forms. When reloading the project the next day, i could not get the design view of those forms anymore. I only see the code in form1.designer.vb, i do not see the form with the usercontrols itself. In the solution explorer i see a node form1.vb with an icon which looks like a small textfile and "VB" in its corner. When i click on this node two files appear: Form1.designer.vb and Form1.resx. I also noticed that in a project where i do see the form in design view, the icon of the node form1.vb looks different from the icon in this project. What has gone wrong here or do i need to ...Show All

• .NET Development XMLHttpRequest in .NET ?

  Is there any class or wrapper or support in .NET of any version for Microsoft.XML components. XMLHttpRequest is an object from MSXML component. If i'm not mistaken MSXML is designed preior to .NET.

So your focus should be on javascripting at user side of the web page. Why would you need to have a managed version of such thing What's aim to accomplish ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Suddenly get "sql server does not exist or access denied" after connected for ages.

  Hi all, I'm developing a PDA app using the compact framework. It connects to a SQL server 2000 database calling stored procedures to read data and update it etc.. It all works absolutely fine for 10 minutes or so - reading and writing lots of data. Then all at once I get the error "sql server does not exist or access denied". In my error handler I try to reconnect - but it seems once this error has happened it's not possible to reconnect. I don't know whether it makes a difference but the PDA is connecting to a database on my machine via a USB connection and the ActiveSync (the very latest version) program. Any ideas would be much appr ...Show All

• Windows Forms I Don't Want To Hardcode Any Colors

  I am developing an application and I want to use the colors that the user has customized for his Desktop.  So I am using Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.xxx) to set the colors of the various parts of my form. However, I notice that the enumerations of KnowColor do not match the items in Advanced Appearance dialog box of Windows Display properties.  For example, in KnowColor I see InactiveBorder, InactiveCaption, InactiveCaptionText, but in the latter I see Inactive Title Bar, Inactive Window Border. May I ask where do I go and look if I don't want to hardcode any colors in my application. Thank you. ...Show All
