• Visual C# Creating a Process and passing in a string?

  Hello, I am trying to use our 3rd party fax software FaxPress. It requires this line of text to be called during a command line. Our old VB 6 app is doing this but using a shell command. I was told this could be done using the Process class in C#. Here is what I have: /// <summary> /// Faxes attachments to destination /// </summary> /// <param name="output">Output directory for FaxPress</param> /// <param name="subject">Subject Line</param> /// <param name="faxPress">Fax system to use. TACCFAX1*</param> /// <param ...Show All

J# is intended strictly for stand-alone client-side software ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- could anyone tell me if this is true I've seen there is no direct support for swing ( I think there are some implementations out there to be included in our projects) but ...Show All

  I've created a C# Pocket PC non-graphical application designed to run in the background forever.  Let's call it ShowReminder.

• Visual Studio Team System Context across multiple web tests.

  It appears that if I create a context that it only lasts to the end of the web test. Is there a way to create a context in WebTest1.webtest, then use it in webtest2.webtest, etc. If so do I have to do an ordered test for this to work Thanks, Tom It is true that the web test context is scoped to an individual web test. Depending on your requirements, you may be able to use an environment variable to have a context value span multiple web tests.

• Windows Forms Max Size of a Form

  Hello friends, i am using VS.Net 2003. I need a Auto scrolling in a form, so that i have change the AutoScroll property to True. But i can't change the size of the form larger than the available screen. Please help me. Thanks in advance. Yuvaraj How AutoScroll works is that the size of the "virtual form" (i.e. the one that you are going to scroll around) is determined by the controls in the form and the AutoScrollMinSize, whichever is the larger. Look at the control furthest down in your form, and the control furthest right. If they can fit inside the form without any scrolling, ...Show All
