• Visual Studio Adding Project to existing source safe nodes

Now the problem comes in with that i want to put this project back into sourcesafe under the exisitng project folders etc. I want to load it as a totally ew version but in the same project folder.

The reason is that web projects in Vs2005 don't have a project file to track which files are p ...Show All

• Windows Forms Gridview validation problem

  I have a integer column on a gridview of a webform. The problem is that the user can put in a character (like an "A") in the field and when the update button is selected the user gets an ugly message. What is the best way to deal with this problem Well, to start with, convert your boundfields to be TemplateFields. In that way you can give meaningful names to your input boxes like "txtCompanyName" which can be used in the aspRequiredFieldValidator. For example using your bound field <code> <asp:TemplateField > <EditItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID=" ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DrawThemeBackground and Glass

  I have a custom window class that supports tool windows that have a slightly smaller caption than the standard tool window class (similar to Photoshop). When theming is available, it uses the DrawThemeBackground API to paint the caption area and min/max/close buttons. My app is getting glass O.K. in all other windows, yet DrawThemeBackground is displaying an opaque caption area and plain ol' buttons. I'm guessing I need to do something more. I watched Jeff's presentation ("Great looking apps...") several times. I don't know if DWM is the answer to getting glass in my custom captions, but it did prompt me to seek out more informa ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I write data to an access database through a form

  I have created an Access database with the fields/columns " Name ", " Entry time ", " Exit time " and " Date ". My objective is that whenever a person enters the computer (sort of a public PC), they have to type that info in the database file manually. But what I really want is a way of making them type it in a simple C# application, with four text boxes (instead of opening the mdb file manually). For that I created a simple form with 4 txt boxes and a button (and labels, etc). The person types the "name" in the first one, the "entry time" in the second one, the "exit time" in the third one and the "date" in the fourth one. When the person c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Unable to Reference office.dll in VS 2005 project

  I have created an Outlook addin in VS 2003 and wanted to port it over to VS 2005 and .net 2.0; however, I dont seem to be able to reference the office.dll in the project in vs2005.

• Smart Device Development Using an ActiveX control

  I'm trying to use an Windows CE ActiveX control in a C# Form. The documentation for AXHost states: You typically do not use the AxHost class directly. You can use the Windows Forms ActiveX Control Importer (Aximp.exe) to generate the wrappers that extend AxHost. When I run AxHost, I get the following error: AxImp Error: Did not find a registered ActiveX control in 'c:\wf\WMPCEOCX.dll'. Is there something else I should be doing Thanks Hello, There are, unfortunately, multiple problems with this scenario. First, CF does not provide an implementation of AxHost, and does not support ActiveX hosting "out ...Show All

• Visual Basic Process.start question

  When using a process.start command to start a media player and play a song at a file location, is there a way programatically to tell when the song or media has completed playing Fred This is a little bit of a tricky question because if a media player is in an executable file, chances are it's relying on an API at some level. When you have an application depending upon the API there are several ways to to tell if a song has completed. I've used the MCIsendstring inteface with the windows media player. There were several modes. I could tell the player to play the song... however the player with non-interruptible in the tha ...Show All
