• Visual Basic How do I run a VB .NET 2005 EXE from the network and not get all these security exceptions

  Hi, I'm trying to have my users run a simple VB .NET 2005 app from the network. It does not require any installation as its pure .NET. However whenever they run it they get security exceptions. If they copy it to the local hard drive it works fine. I believe its something to do with .NET framework security zones - but I'm not sure. Can anyone explain Regards Michael Green Start + Control Panel + Administrative Tools + Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration, Configure Code Acces, Adjust Zone security, Next, Local Intranet.

• Visual C# When Using a "C" style comment /**/ how do I disable the automatic * on every line?

  How do I disable or stop the IDE from adding a new * on every line after hitting the enter key when I am creating a "C" style comment /*  * I don't want this line to start with *  * I don't want this line to start with *   **/ Like This: /* My comment is now easier to read.

• Visual Studio Team System Beta 3 Refresh question

  Just looking at the article http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/b3rmigrate.aspx It doesn't mention backing up the TFSActivity Logging database.  Does anybody know what this db does exactly and what I will loose by not taking a backup of this before migrating. Cheers Darren, This database keeps track of web method execution.  Each Team Foundation component writes entries for each web method it executes.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Hardware Simulation

  Hi, I am developing a game (using VS 2005, C#, and Managed DirectX) as a final project for programming course. Although the game runs fine on my PCs, several of the people who have tried it (including my professor) have complained that it works sluggishly or not at all for them. I suspect that the system requirements of my program are simply too high, but because both of the computers I have ready access to are fairly high-end, I don't have a reliable way of testing whether changes that I make are actually improving the situation. I know that programs to simulate different hardware setups exist, but I'm not sure what my options are ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Developing full screen WPF applications

  How would I create borderless full screen applications with WPF Is that possible with Navigation Applications as well Thanks, Neno the way i had to do it is to use win32 interop to create a layered window which takes up the whole screen, then make that window topmost. the downside to this is that because there is currently no per-pixel alpha, unless you are drawing the entire screen for your app, you'll get jagged edges.   ...Show All

• Visual Basic Loading .txt files

      Hello, I am sort of new to Visual Basic, but I have completed some tutorials. I can't find information on how to make a menu with Open File for example, in it, then make it open a file such as .txt. Where or how can I script a menu to have an option called Load File that will load a .txt file or something else. So far I have made a menu with the Open File option, but I need to script it to load a file now. Thank You! An OpenFileDialog is the class you need in order to let your user browse for a text file to start with.  Once you have the path:      &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Style.Triggers and Template.Triggers

  Hello, I'm trying to customize the appearance of the selected listbox item. My problem is that the triggers defined in ControlTemplate.Triggers only seem to respond to EventTriggers and therefore don't know when the the listbox item 'IsSelected'. Conversely triggers defined under Style.Triggers understand the 'IsSelected' Trigger but can't get access to any of the UI elements I want to change. Hopefully the following snippet will make this slightly clearer: <Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="Tr ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi & SqlServer2K5_BOL.msi

  After I installed SqlServer2K5_BOL.msi, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP does not launch any more. How can I use both SSMSEE and BOL I would be very skeptical when downloading either of those files. MS download servers currently have a fairly serious (in my opinion) problem with syncronizing their mirroring. It seems to lead to some mirrors providing outdated files - it's meant to be transparent to the end user so you typically don't even know you may be downloading from a mirror, or receiving an outdated file.
