• Visual C++ Modifying intrinsic property sheet inclusion

  Intrinsic property sheets like "Optimize for speed" seem to be added to all projects. It's strange seeing that under a debug configuration. How do I remove sheets such as that one when they're not what I want Thanks, Gary Ok, but why should a non-removable property page be attached to all my projects What if I don't happen to want it I can override its settings, but I'll have to look at it forever in the IDE. -Gary ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Custom Control, inheriting from TextBox Control

  Hi all, I want to create a simple Customer Control that inherits from the TextBox Control, but am not sure if the same rules apply for Controls in the CF 1.0 Framework as with Stand Win Forms Controls - What I want to do is to be able to add to properties to the TextBox Control that allows me to override BackColor of the Control (preventing the standard grey colour). does anyone know of any good tutorials Thanks Tryst The runtime aspect of a smart device custom control is similar to a custom control targeting the full framework. It's the design-time aspect that is different. The following article details how to create a smart d ...Show All

• SQL Server FTP Task issue

  The FTP Task I've created fails. It appears to be making the connection initially behind a firewall, but it suddenly switches from port 21 to port 3397. Anyone experience this issue Since my firewall is restricting the connection to just port 21, I can't make a permanent connection. FTP use 2 ports for it work - one for control connection (21) and one for data connection (any other, 3397 in your case, but may be other). ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating "installation" script

  Hi all, I’m newbie with SQL Server. I need to create a installation script SQL (creating tables, indexes, permissions, databases). This script calls other scripts. In Oracle I use @script_name.sql, but in SQL Server I don’t know to do this. Other question: Is there a way to call the Query Analyzer in .BAT file, where the .BAT file calls installation scripts SQL. Thank U very much, []’s Yes sure you can do this, you have to call the equivalent to sqlplus.exe for SQL Server, its OSQL.EXE. The -o Option takes an input file with the statements that you want to execute. Other options are described in detail -S for the server -U for the User ...Show All

• Visual C# VS.Net 2005 DataGridView problem - locked and uneditable in the inherited forms!!!

  This problem occures in visual inheritance scenarios when you inherits from a form that contains a DataGridView. Here are the steps so you can try it yourself: 1. create a Form1 2. add a DataGridView from the toolbox 3. assure that the DataGridView is declared as protected in Form1 4. create an inherited form that inherits from Form1 (Project->Add New Item->Inherited Form) The problem is that the DataGridView in the inherited form is locked - you can't move it in design mode neither you can access it's properties from the Properties window - all the properties are displayed as readonly. I've tried this scenario in VS.Net 2005 Team Su ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Beta 2 problems with any workflow & designer

  Hello, I have a Windows Vista CTP December 05 machine on which I had installed the WinFX RTC CTP December, the Windows SDK CTP December, the Orcas VS Extensions CTP December and the WWF Extensions CTP December.

Is that not enough to uninstall the WWF runtime components There was no entry in Vistas uninstall cons ...Show All

  Dear All, I am having trouble trying to send the escape sequence commands to the card printer in my VB 6 program. Could anyone lend me a helping hand on this. Help is very much appreciated. JT Hi JT, Here's the response from our support engineer: According to your description, I guess you are trying to send the printing command to your printer directly through LPT port in VB6 program; however, this is not the recommended way to perform a printing job if you do have a driver with your card printer. And if you don’t have one and you have to use the LPT port directly, please kindly let me know what problem are you ...Show All
