• Windows Forms Windows.Forms.Form becomes corrupted after editing a property in the designer

  I have a complex windows form coded in C# on the 1.1 SP1 version of the framework.  It contains menus, toolbars and several sets of nested tabs with controls on each.  Suddenly when I change a property of a control in the designer  the form becomes completely corrupted.  By corrupted I mean that all of the control positioning on the form becomes scrambled and the form will no longer compile (I get a "Key not recognized" compile error).  I was attempting to add a BeforeSelect event handler for a TreeView, when that did not work I reverted and then changed a Timer.Interval with the same result.  ...Show All

• Visual Basic Access an application in server by multi-users

  I am a new VB.Net developer. I created a standalone desktop window-based application to query SQL server database and print them in crystal report. It is running well on desktop. My problem now is I want to put it on server of my company so that other users can easily access it without installing it on each PC. So I installed it on server and share the folder. On desktop, I allocated the shared folder of server and run it. But an error came saying: An unhandled exception of type "System.Security.SecruityException" occurred in ***.exe. I don't have any idea on how to deal with it. I appreciate if anyone can give m ...Show All

• SQL Server FireFox 1.5.0.1 w/ SRS 2000 Toolbar Broken

  I'm having a problem with report rendering in FireFox 1.5.  For some reason the toolbar is about 200px high with some of the toolbar icons wrapping.  Worse, the toolbar doesn't work.  The first/next/back/last icons don't work and the page number textbox is disabled.  Export doesn't work either.   So basically it's not even useable.  I've read that offically the Find/Print features are not supported for FireFox, but nothing beyond that.    I also have had the same problem that I've seen in other forums where the report table itself is squished.  I was able to fix that by us ...Show All

• .NET Development How to use data available on Internet or some site in our application..

  Hiii, I want to list the prices of some products available on the internet everytime i open a web page in my application.. ex: I want to list all the printers available and their prices from internet in a datagrid on my page. Is it possible if so how.... Sachin, it is possible to extract prices of the products you are interested in from internet. You will have to write the control logic that will visit various different wepages and gather pricing information for the products you are interested in. Since different sites have different policies about usage of their data as well as different ways of extracting such data. Pl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Using MSTEST in a BUILD without VS IDE

  I see MSTEST lives in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE Might MSTEST be available so we can use on a BUILD server (along with part of the VS install for just the unittest framework) to execute the TEAM TESTS in a VS2005 Test Project as part of a BATCH BUILD Is it available without having to install the VS2005 IDE on the build server similar to how you can just select that UNITTEST framework option install without the IDE being installed from the VS2005 install Its nice to have access to MSBUILD via the Frameworks to use with BUILD options but for testing, how can we get that MSTEST functionality without installing th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista UI text that refers to UI labels/controls - Correct Style?

  Hello, My question is slightly outside the realm of this forum, but it's the closest. What is the correct usage and format when referring to a UI control label Do I bold (or not) the name of the control in the UI string For instance, say I have a control label called "Settings." In the UI text that describes the procedure that involves the control, do I write: "To configure your system, click Settings ." or "To configure your system, click Settings." In XP the UI procedure text that refers to the control is not bold. Is there a style for Vista Again, keep in mind that I'm ...Show All

• Visual C# how do i prevent "show desktop" or "windows key+m" from minimizing my program?

  hi, i don't want my program to be on "TopMost" but i also don't want it to minimize. Never. even if i disable the minimize feature, the program can still be minimized by clicking on the "show desktop" icon or pressing Windows Key+M. I'd like to prevent that. Can someone tell me a possible way to do it btw, the "show desktop" button doesn't trigger the 'resize' or 'changesize' event in the form. Thanks, For the heck of it...I tried to to do this with Desawares subclassing ocx. (the best I know of) You can stop the minimize event with this....but WinKey m...will always minimize it. Looks like the only way is ...Show All

• Visual Basic REALLY Weird "Threading Problem" - Hard to explain

  Hello all. I''m currently in the [process of making an audio player application that will read out MP3 tag information using the Speech library (the MS Text-To-Speech thing - like the one in control panel.)
