• Windows Forms .net 2005 Setup Project ... help

  Here's my scenario. I have created a setup project in VS2005. Using the file system editor I have added some non essential files and folders in the application folder (image files, doc files, etc.). I also created a shortcut to the primary output exe and placed that shortcut in the user's desktop. After installation, if the user deletes one of the non essential files and clicks on the shortcut to the primary output that was created by the installer, the installer runs anew as if to repair the installation. If the user clicks the primary output or manually creates a shortcut the installer will not be invoked. ...Show All

• .NET Development Using System.Net.Mail class to send mail.

  Hi, I was coding a class to send mail via SMTP, but I found that in Framework 2.0 you have System.Net.Mail to do that task. The classes works fine to send mail on a server that does not require authentication. Unfortunatelly, I can't get it to work on a base64 encrypted server. The process of logging in that type of server is easy, so I expect an bool attribute, let's say, "IsAuthRequired", but it does not exists. From what I've read on MSDN documentation, the way to do that is to have UseDefaultCredentials to false, and Credentials must not be null. The problem is that my code do have both these requeriments, but I still can ...Show All

• SQL Server Transaction log keeps growing

  I have set the dboption 'trunc. log on chkpt.' to true; yet the transaction log keeps on growing. sp_dboption pubs_db does show 'trunc. log on chkpt.' to be set. I tried DBCC SHRINKFILE ( pubs_db_log , 100 ) and for a while, the pubs_db_log.ldf was about 100M and then it grew to 10GB. I have a process running that is inserting more than 15K rows per hour and I would like to keep the transaction log from growing. How do I control the tx log growth Jason -  Did you have a chance to analyze the problem and collect the data we asked for   Please let us know your answers to the questions aske ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help on choosing the right product

  Hello, I'm facing the problem of choosing the right product for my developer's group, and I find myself somewhat confused. First of all I'd like to use a stable and tested product, not a beta one, so I excluded the upcoming 2005, because the Beta 2 version to which I gave a try presents a long list of bugs and annoyances at the moment, and there's too much uncertainty on its real final release date. So let's go with .NET 2003, for now... We use only C (maybe C++ in the nearby future) to build a stand alone application for Windows; we don't need support for Web Applications and deployments, distrib ...Show All

• Visual C++ Need help with a program...

  Hey everybody. I've written this program and cannot figure out why it won't work. Here are my requirements... A teacher wants a program which will test students’ memory of the values of small integers squared. She asks for a program which prompts the students for an integer. It then asks them for that number’s square. If their answer is correct they are congratulated if it is incorrect the correct value is given. Because she wants the class to practice with this she asks that the program continue to prompt the students until they enter the integer: 0. The program will then thank the student and terminate.

• .NET Development TreeView Control Customization help

  I am trying to customize the TreeView control in asp.net 2.0 within VS2005 Beta 2.

• Windows Forms SplitContainer Resizing when dropped into a form

  I have a relatively simple test application to learn about Whidbey.  And SplitContainers are breaking all my sizes: I have a Main Form (main). I have a UserControl (uc). uc is AutoSize/GrowShrink. It contains a TableLayoutPanel which is also AutoSize/GrowShrink. It has one column that is AutoSized. If the cells of the table contain controls like labels and buttons, the width of the uc is 200. When I drag and drop uc into main, its width stays at 200. If the any cell of the table contains a SplitContainer of width 200, when I drag and drop uc into main, it's width jumps to 379. This width of 379 is only occuring in design mode of ma ...Show All
