• Windows Forms #develop

  I was justing loitering in the Community page of windowsforms.net and hit the following link: <A HREF="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/">http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/</A> This is the web page for an open source IDE for C# and VB.NET called #develop.  I was pretty excited to see this, and I was wondering if anyone has played around with #develop.  If  ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploying a Win Form via Web Server

  I'm trying to setup a web server on my intranet to deploy windows forms applications.  I've written a VERY simply app, the classic "Hello World" and have successfully tested launching the app from my local machine (ex. http://localhost/helloworld/helloworld.exe) When I move the app to the actual intranet web server (Win NT 4, SP 6, IIS 4, .Net Framwork  ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem after hiding an owned form

  Sometimes after hiding an owned form, another application will be activated as if "ALT-ESC"  pressed. Anybody knows how to prevent this happening I just got a workaround - before hiding the owner form, activate the owner form. It's simple and effectively works. I guess this is a bug from .Net Framework. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions XML, Lists and ListBoxes

  Got a few questions. I have a List<string> that populates a ListBox with data. If I delete an item at an index, would the data move down an index For example, I have 10 items in my list, indicies are 0 through 9, if I removed the item at index 5, would the indicies change to 0 through 8 and would the item at index 6 move to index 5 (so on and so forth for each item after) Or would I have to manually iterate through each item and move it down an index My next question regards XML. I can create an XML file and read through it, but every example I come across only gives information on creating new files. If I have an existing XML docum ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project Subtype from wizard

  Is there any reason why it shouldn't be a simple matter to start with a package project that is created by the wizard (new project -> other project types -> extensibility -> visual studio integration package) and add a project flavor to it using the ProjectSubtype sample as a guide I ask because I'm trying to do just that, but when I try to open the sub type's template, VS crashes without giving warning or description of the error. The debugger reaches the Package initialization code but it never reaches the ProjectFlavorFactory code. I don't understand what could be different between what I have done and the sample, which does wor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Some hardCheck rules to cope

  the david Kean rules sample helped me great to dig into the custom rule creation by discovering some of the possiblitities of the RuleUtilities class or formally from the Microsoft.Cci dll. I'm facing some difficulties to create some namming convention special's rules, maybe you can help me to find a solution: R1: local variable must be like : __localVariable R2: local variable used as increment are just CamelCase : increment I succeeded in creating the R1 validation but all my increment dont cope that diagnostic (of course you think). Is there a way to know if the variable is declared within a for,a foreach... if yes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Install TFS RC on a Domain Controller???

  We can no longer install TFS (RC) on a domain controller This worked in earlier betas and CTP versions. But now I'm told with the installer that this is not a supported configuration, yet the installation guide talks about installing on a DC. I wasted all this time setting up the DC system and get to the point of running TFS install and am told I can no longer do this I've seen Microsoft respondents in the past indicate that you can install on a DC in these forums. What is going on here This is annoying. Due to the issues involved in installing and setting up TFS to work on a Domain Controller, we ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SQL Server collation is not set to one supported by Team Foundation Server.

  I get the error: "SQL Server collation is not set to one supported by Team Foundation Server." in the System Health Check. I've reinstalled the sql server three times (I've tried both the developer edition and the enterprise edition). My current collation is set to "Latin1_General_CI_AI" so this shouldn't be a problem! This is the last "red x" in the System Health Check everything else is ok. I'm installing on a Virtual PC (w2003) and using RC1 I'm really sorry, but only allowing certain collations is a real pain. And it would be handy if the 'health check' actually said what collations were allowa ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Native error exception

  HI, My PPC apps working fine with my desktop. When i try to run the apps from laptop,getting some native error exception. 0x80000002. Just i tried to trace the error.

• Visual C# Convert a string (diffrent formats) to date

  Hi I got diffrent date formats from a database and I would like to convert the to a date. I don't have the option to work with the sql, since that query is fixed (long story) "20051231","2005-12-31","2005-12-31 09:29:52" ==> "2005/12/31". My first tought was to trim the string and remove "/" and " ", after that only read the first 6 char of the string and as the final step chope the string up in "2005","12","31". There after build upp "2005/12/31". It seems to by much work and not so easy either as I tought. Does anyone have ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get the old typed dataset

  When I create a new typed dataset on v2 by dragging the tables into a dataset component surface I get a lot of stuff that I don't want like dataadapters, queries, connection strings, etc.  I want a type dataset the way v1.1 used to do since I have my stored procs and I use SqlHelper for for all dataadaptor creation, etc. How can I get that   I can't work with this new way that seems designed for unskilled users but that makes things more complicated for me. Thanks, Luis C. Uribe That error doesn't ring a bell, Luis.  I wasn't able to cause that problem in the small sample app I created.  If you can provide steps to r ...Show All

• .NET Development Optimice save data in Ado 2.0

  I am beginning to use data modeling Ado 2,0 and I have found problem concretely with method Update of object TableAdapter of dataset. The Tableapdate of Dataset update all records of once, I think that this is an error, because if we want to only save a field of row or we have modified 2 columns in a table that has 20, 100 or more, this model creates several problems: By a side we are generating I on the other hand deal unnecessary when updating columns that have the same value and these have not been modified. if we have algun type of trigger type IF UPDATE(Name) this it was executed whenever update the row, with which trigger did ...Show All
