• .NET Development SQL strings and distributed applications

  I am building a solution in VB 2005 which uses SQL strings to determin varoius totals etc. It works fine on my machine - but when I deploy the solution and install it on another machine, it fails to show the totals at all. I am in no way an expert so i assume that I have overlooked something simple. I would be most grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. I would suggest to remove hardcoded path from the code and keep it in a config file. In this case you will not depend on it and can build your connection string on a fly. ...Show All

• Visual Studio MS ANtispyware blocks unit test tool

  Hi All, Have any of you experienced problems with the Unit Testing facilities of VS.NET 2005 beta 2 (on a C# project) being blocked by MS Antispyware It appears that the environment autogenerates a batch file each time the unit tests are to be executed. I am not sure how to stop MS Antispyware from objecting to this each time I run the scripts. Please let me know if you have a workaround (that doesn't compromise the security of my machine). Thanks In Advance, Andrew Matthews check http://www.xenopz.com/blog/bartdeboeck/PermaLink.aspx guid=02560aa8-78f7-4975-b714-58101b4738f8  this does work for me ...Show All

• Windows Forms Image of a web page?

  Is it possible to capture a complete image of a webpage in a webbrowser control from vb.net The short answer is yes.  If you are using v1.1 then it's a bit more work.  Bob Powell has a great article on this.  If you are using v2.0, it's as easy and an API call for a control.  I don't have the API right now, but I can get it later one and get back to you with it.  I do that exact same thing with v20 to grab the Montreal Canadiens front page to save for a screen saver I'm working on.   Good luck. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development /GR- cl.exe option causes WM_INITDIALOG not to fire.

  Project->Properties: Configuration Properties/C++/Language: Enable Run-Time Type Info = No (/GR-)  causes WM_INITDIALOG not to fire when invoking DoModal() for a dialog instantiated from within OnInitialUpdate() of a single document MFC application (i.e., from within OnInitialUpdaet() for a subclass of CView). Compiling with /GR does not produce this problem. To reproduce this, use VS2005 to create a single document app, use the IDE to add OnInitialUpdate() to your CView subclass, create a test dialog, instantiate and invoke DoModal() for the test dialog from within OnInitialUpdate() for the CView subclass. Build using /GR- and inv ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Spawning multiple instances of the same workflow

  I am currently using WWF v2.0beta and completed building a workflow project that handles one instance of the workflow.  I am interested in making this project multithreaded and have it handle multiple instances.  What is the correct process to do this What my program does is that it has a listener that waits for messages, when it gets a new message it should spawn off a new instance of the workflow.  For the single instance example the workflow is started in the Program.cs file with the following command: WorkflowInstance instance = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow( typeof (RecvMsg. Workflow1 ), parameters); in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is is possible to add classes from multiple projects into the diagram?

  I had a basic question concerning the Class Designer.  If you create a solution space containing multiple projects, is it possible to place a class from one project onto a class diagram that exists in another project within the solution space.  Greg, You'll also have to build your referenced project for you to visualize the types from that project.  In V1, we only get the information of types from referenced projects through the assemblies built for that project. Also, it will be good if you started posting questions on new thread instead of this post which is meant to be an informati ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setup/deployment project - conditional installation of shortcuts

  I've created a setup/deployment project.  I want to conditionally create a shortcut to one of my installed files in the user's Startup folder (for example).  I've created a checkboxes dialog box and assigned a condition to the first checkbox.  But there seems to be no way to make the installation of the shortcut dependent on any conditions.  If I do 'Properties' on the shortcut (in the file system view) then there is no condition property.  There must be a way to do this surely Boing!!! Surely it must be possible to conditionally create shortcuts Mike ...Show All
