• Visual C# How to find a System Tray Process

  Hi, I'm trying to retrieve a process from the System Tray programmatically. My program starts the process and then saves the Process object. Later, the program tries to locate the process and bring it to the front (in focus). For all processes that do not reside in the system tray, I can do this with no problems. When I call AppActivate on a process that is in the SystemTray, the ArgumentException is raised. Does anyone know how to ret ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Strange behaviour retrieving field from Access DB

  Hi all, I'm retrieving a field from an access db (mdb file). This field is an int32 autoincremently. After read this data I put it in a combobox. The strange situation is this: when I look the list of combobox I don't see the number in sequential order, but first 1827 is correct, next one is 2005. After some range starts again 1828 until 2005. (Number goes until 6859) I don't understand why this could happen. I thought the problem could be some ...Show All

  On my forms with many (50+) controls it takes many MINUTES to load the form in designer view. The problem is magnified with forms using UserControl derived formss. I'm using a more than adquate system too.

• Visual Studio Team System Can we run tests from the command prompt without installing VS?

  It's probably mentioned somewhere within the documentation, but here is my question: Visual Test (good, old...) had an option to compile tests into p-code, which then could be run on another machine without having to install the full-blown version of VS. This is quite useful for certain tests (and test deployment). Can we do the same with the new MSTest.exe Which files do we need to install on the machine where the tests are to be run ...Show All
