• Visual Basic API GetUserObjectInformation

  All, I am currently developing a program that will enable users to create and switch desktops as they so please. However, I am having a bit of trouble with the GetUserObjectInformation API. I either get a value of 0 being returned or so many errors I am about to go nuts. Does anyone know the correct way of calling this in VB.Net 2005. I have tried many different variations but none seem to work. I do know that I need to call it once to get the lpnLengthNeeded which will then ReDim pvInfo(lpnLengthNeeded - 1) so that it will be able to hold all of the data. Now nLength I am not sure exactly what needs to go their as I am so lost right now ...Show All

• .NET Development Authentication options

  I'm working on a project that will use a web service over the internet. We'll control the endpoints. I don't know that it will be important to identify the actual user when authenticating. What I will need to do, is to determine that the message has not been tampered with. We may be able to use VS 2005. I'm looking for suggestions to impliment a solution that allow me to determine if the message has been tampered with. ...Show All

• Windows Forms CommonAppDataFolder in Deployment project

  I am building an application that needs to change a certain file in its own directory (under Program Files). This is no problem when the user is an administrator but when he/she has limited rights, that won't work. So I thought of a solution where the file which should be changed is stored in Application Data directory and create some shortcuts to it in the application folder of the setup project. So far so good. Problem 1: When I have these files stored in the Application Data folder of the user itself, the setup will install them there and that's it. When another user wants to use the program, at first run, these files aren't copied to the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Date Time changing based on timezones??

  I have a application which passes dates/times back and forth via web services.  The server is EST.  The pda is CST -1 hour.  The PDA downloads the data from the web service and insterts it in SQL CE.  When the user views the info it is 1 hour off. If the user adjusts the timezone on the pda to EST it works fine.   Any help on how to tell the app to ignore timezones Thanks, Aaron The proper way to solve this is to transmit all date/time values as UTC time, not local time. So, on the server, invoke DateTime.ToUniversalTime before sending the date/time value to ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can suddenly not close forms...

  This is a pretty bad situation :-) I am putting togehter parts of an editor that is transposed from .NET 1.1, and when putting the parts together I get a very bad sitaution. I can not close forms. The indication is this: In the Closing event handler that I add ON the form, the closing bool indiacator used to abort the close is already set. The form contains one MDI form and on this MDI form there are two user controls. On the two panels where are data bound elements. On the MDI form there is one databound element. Now, sadly my editing possibilitiy are pretty limited. It looks to me like something is subscribing to some closing event somewhe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Release on MSDN Subscriber Downloads (Universal)

  Hello everybody, Today Visual Studio 2005 Professional was released on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. We were unable to find the Team Suite Release. Any help Best regards Ralf Rottmann If you are an MSDN Universal subscriber, you should see a Visual Studio Team Edition download. That's the one you need. You also need to install the Team Foundation Client Beta 3 that has been out for a while. However, I would lay off doing that for a while until we know the status of the "Team Foundation Beta 3 Refresh" that was supposed to be coming out at the same time as VS2005 RTM.

  Hi folks I do a lot of work with address data. I have been using Acess 2003 as my database but now need to upgrade to SQL Server.

• Windows Forms use generic collection as datasource?

  I have a generic dictionary of my custom class and want to use it as a listbox datasource. Is this possible Actually, I don't really have to use it as a datasource if this is not possible. My custom class is an item in a listbox and combobox. If I change the description property in my class, how do I get the listbox and combobox to update (the tostring method returns the description) The only way I know to make this work is to add a FindByKey to BindingList<T>.  I don't know how to do this with Dictionary<> given you'd need to add list change notification to Dictionary<&g ...Show All
