• Visual Basic Creating a program that can save in a specific file format.

  Hello, I was wondering how (and if) to create a program that will allow me to type some text, make some selections, and then save it. What I need to know is how to save the program then be able to re-open it properly. Thanks for any help.   Hi X, I hope you don't think me picky.

• Windows Live Developer Forums MSN Best App Competition Prizes?

  Hello winners of the MSN Best App competition. Being one of the winners myself, I was wondering whether anyone has received anything (documents, forms, PRIZES) after they sent their affidavit of eligibility back to Microsoft I tried contacting Jennifer Johnson one month ago and she said that they are still in the process of sending out additional forms for us to fill out. She said that they are planning on having all of them sent out by the end of next week (which should've been April 14).

• Smart Device Development SCSI device mapping

  Hi all, We have an application (written in C/C++) for management of SCSI storage devices. Through this application, we are creating a logical drive (LD) using two physical disks and this LD should show up in the list of volumes in Windows. The job of exposing the newly created LD to Windows is done by the device driver for the RAID controller. So after this is successfully done, one can right click on My Computer, then Manage -> Disk Management, and can see the new LD there.  The problem is, in some cases (that is, for some version of the application) this newly created LD is not getting ...Show All

• Visual C# C# .NET Naming Conventions

  Does anyone know where I can find a list of naming conventions for UI elements.  I found a bunch of places where they have variable, property, method, event handler, formatting style, etc. conventions.  But I am having a hard time finding naming conventions other than the Visual Basic 6.0 Naming Conventions on Microsoft's website. As the programming world is rapidly moving away from hungarian notation, it's easy to state that you should not use it, or any type of prefixed notation. Naming textboxes "txtThisAndThat" or strings "strThatAndThis" is unnecessary, since the IDE can give you the type and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Open Team Explorer

  I don't have a domain, and I have set up my server so that I can connect via SSL over the internet.  I am running Beta3 refresh. I installed Team Foundation client on an external machine as well as the server.  When I first finished the install, I was able to connect on both machines.  Then I re-configured the server so that the Team Foundation Server website was on port 443 for SSL and 80 for TCP (although port 80 is not open on our router).  The Default Web Site is on port 8080 (which is open). I can connect from an external client.  Very fun :)  I can also connect via the command line on the server.  I ...Show All
