• Visual Studio Express Editions Installation Error on project - Global Assembly Cache

  I have a project which I have upgraded from VB 6.0. The project uses MS Word 2003 as an output generator. When I try to install the project on a computer that has MS Word 2003 installed, I get the following error: The application requires that assembly office Version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first. The class through which I direct all my calls to Word has an Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop line to access Microsoft Office, and the Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library (COM, Version 8.3) is included in the references. The program runs correctly in the development environment (development enviro ...Show All

• .NET Development WSE 3.0 Hands on Lab Security

  Hi All, I was trying to implement the hands on lab security  (WSE 3.0 ) on my system (Win XP SP2, VS2005 + .NET 2.0). I installed all the necessary certificates. At first run, it worked fine. But 10 min later it starts giving this error: "System.Net.Exception: The request Failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorised access".

• Windows Forms Setting Datagridview Styles Dynamically

  Hi, As part of my learning of VB express I am stuck at the moment on setting the datagridview styles dynamically. I can change the default formatting colours etc but what I would like to do is change the colour of a complete row based upon the value of a given cell within that row. I have in my datagridview a number of rows where one row has a cell with the value 10. I would like to paint this row's background red to highlight it from the rest. I have tried many ways of doing this but without the required result. I have used the .rowprepaint and .rowpostpaint events Any help would be very welcome   # Re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Editing ProcessGuidance.XML

  Hi, I downloaded the MSF Agile Beta and am looking at editing the associated Process Guidance outside of VSTS. I opened ProcessGuidance.xml in InfoPath and received an error about InfoPath being unable to locate the template.xsn file. I solved this by changing the href path to ".\template.xsn" using a text editor and then opened ProcessGuidance.xml in InfoPath again. Even without making any changes, if I try to save ProcessGuidance.xml, I get an error saying "The form contains validation errors". There appear to be a bunch of xsl files referenced that do not exist (WorkProductsMain.xsl, WorkItemsMain.xsl, for example). Have I broken somethi ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Connection error

  Hi, I'm having some problems when i try to open a connection and execute any command on my data base. When i create the mdf file on my application directory, the message error is that de file is already in use by another process. If i leave the file on the original location, the error is that i don't have permission to access the file.... Please, help me... Tks. Hi Leonardo, It sounds like you already have an mdf file, so you don't need to create it, you need to attach it. As you've found, you also need to have the file in a location where the Server has permission. A good location for database files is in the Data director ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Color Picker

  Hi everyone, I've been struggling for the past 2 days to get this straight. I created a DataSet with a DataTable called "Customers". This DataTable has a few columns and one of them is named "Color" typeof(Color) (I want to use this Color later on to actually display the customer rows with the colors specified). I created a new ColorCell, ColorColumn (to host the ColorCell) and a ColorEditingControl (for edit mode). First attempt was to inherit this ColorCell from a DataGridTextBoxCell however the Value is a String type and cannot be converted to a Color type. So I thought I could trick this by hiding the old one with a new Color type like ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I run a function as a different user?

  Hello,     I am making a small app and want to be able to perform some actions on a network drive based upon questions.  I would like to be able to copy some files and folders, change the NTFS perms on them, and then open a specific text file, make some changes and save it.  All of these things have NTFS permissions set for Administrator only.  Since the application is to be ran by Non-Administrators I need to run the code with higher perms.  I saw the impersonate command but the examples that I found were for asp.net and I didn't fully understand it.  Below is a snippet of what I'm trying to run. ...Show All
