• Visual Studio Express Editions .Net framework 2.0 question (noob question be warned!)

  Hi all, I am actually considering downloading and installing the Visual Studio Express 2005 suite of programs, as I am already been working with .Net for the last 2 years, and the 2005 specs look enticing. I'm a student, and a junior developer for the firm that I work for, and both at school and at work we are still using .Net 2003. Now my question is: Will installing the .NET framework 2.0 (which is required for operating VS.NET 2005) affect my VS.NET 2003 I'm asking this as lately I've been checking the MSDN help for the .NET 2.0, and a whole load of new functionalities seem to have been implemented, some of which were not available with b ...Show All

• Windows Forms Overwriting BindingNavigator AddNew

  In a form, I want particular things to happen on the form when the user presses the AddNew button in the BindingNavigator . So I want to call my own code in the bindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click. I put myBindingSource.AddNew in the bindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click, followed by additional code. When I click the AddNew button I immediately get an error telling me that one of the columns in the table can't be null. Joe Stegman said " The BindingNavigator AddNew button calls BindingSource.AddNew() - there's nothing more to it." That's what I thought all along. So why is the data being validated before I enter anything if I make the ca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 - Help through proxy server

  just started using Visual studio 2005 Annoyingly the help defaults to using online content which doesn't work through an authenticating proxy. ( the type of web access that 90% of all corporate enviornments will have ) so you are forced to trawl the web looking for solutions First impressions 1. The install can be messy if you you want business intelligence also .. and undocumented 2. The interface is slow ( on a fast PC ) 3. Shared datasources do not seem to work for reporting services 4. Once you create a project the interface gives you NO way to delete one.. if you try to overwrite .. it simply says one exists already. So you have to use ...Show All

• Visual C++ Weird Debug-Exceptions window question

  I want to turn off Native Run-Time Checks whilst debugging using VS 2005. In VS 2003, I would go to Debug-Exceptions, and then for Native Run-Time Checks, make the relevant choices as to turning them on and off. Now in VS2005, I am having some problems. In the same window (Debug-Exceptions), some computers in my network have two columns of check boxes - Thrown and UserHandled Exceptions (the second column being the one you could use to control this feature), and some do not show the second column. How do I get those that are not displaying the second column (User Handled) to indeed do so Thank you very much ...Show All

• Visual C# Reading Emails using POP3 Server .

  hello all, I am searching for a atricle i.e Reading Emails from POP3 Server. any body give me good article or link for this. wll be appriciated. Hi, There are simply too many places to look at. There are really two different problems: the first is to download the email and manage the mailbox (see what messages you have there, delete what you already downloaded, etc). For this, I think the best source of information is still the 10-years old RFC 1939 you can download from www.ietf.org . It describes in detail the protocol and is very easy to follow and implement (after all, you only need a TcpClient on port 110 and ...Show All
