• Visual Basic Migrating Access Form to .NET

  In the article found on this webpage ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/Deploy/accessmigration.mspx ) it says, "Re-create your forms using .NET and migrate your reports to Microsoft Reporting Services. For more information, see the Microsoft white papers , “How to Migrate Access Forms to .NET” and “How to Migrate Access Reports to Reporting Services.” But when i do a search on that article, i find nothing. I've tried to find something similar to no avail. If i could easily convert my Access form to a .Net webform i thought it might be easier than using MS Access. Any suggestions ...Show All

• Visual C# Refresh URL

  I want to find the user's public IP address. To do this I am using a hidden WebBrowser control that navigates to http://www.whatismyip.com/ . I then use a Regular Expression to get the IP. Every 10 minutes I want to check if the IP has changed. Currently, I am using WebBrowserControl1.Refresh() to get the new IP but it does not work - I always get the IP that was found when the program first started. If I restart the program I get the new IP address. How do I get the new content of the page rather than the old content using System; using System.Net; using System.Web; using Syst ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ToList() and ToArray() not found

• Smart Device Development Waking up from hibernation.

  When my Pocket PC wakes up from hibernation, sometimes the application only appears in the background and can only be seen under Settings > System > Memory .  2 questions: 1. Any way of making sure the application does not fall into the background of the OS. 2. If I can't prevent if from just being seen under Memory, is there a way my application can detect the PPC has been powered on again. Thanks for any solutions, You can do this by P/Invoking into the CE function CeRunAppAtEvent or CeSetUserNotificationEx (both wrapped in the OpenNETCF.Win32.Notify namespace - www.opennetcf.org/sdf/ ). This allows you to register yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot Create new project - Sharepoint permissions error

  I have successfully setup a dual server deployment.  I added myself to the admin group as per the installation.  It appears that Sharepoint didnt get configured.  When I try and create a new project in Team Explorer it seems to go through everything and then i get an error saying i dont have permission in Sharepoint to create a site.

• Windows Forms Challenging ClickOnce problem... writing to the data store

  Ok, I have a program whose solution is composed of (3) projects. I am using ClickOnce as my deployment method and have set the Security Zone to Full Trust. My configuration.dll, which is one of the (3) projects compiled in my solution, tries to write a config.xml file to the ClickOnce data folder. FYI: The file does not already exist, so it must create it on the fly. The problem: It doesn't create it on the fly. It tries to write the file to the correct location but a check of that location reveals that the file is never created and thus cannot be written to. Does this mean that I need to create a blank config.xml file and include it wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using NotifyIcon

  Hi, I've added a NotifyIcon to the mainform of my application, by clicking on it in the Toolbox. I've build a contextmenu etc. for the notifyicon and when I start my application, everything works fine, except that when I close my main form, the notifyicon also closes, and i want it to stay in the taskbar as long as the user didn't close it via the contextmenu of the notifyicon (then the whole app should close). I sthere a way to not let the notifyicon close when the user closes the form the notifyicon is on I've already tried creating another 'startup form' that contains the notifyicon, but that doesn't work either (it's an invisible form). ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote Connection problem on MS SQL 2000

  Hello, First, I want to say I read all threads similar this thread and I couldn't solve problem. My firewall is always off when I tried to connect remotly to SQL Server. I opened 1433 port from my router's configuration page and forwarded it to 10.0.0.4:1433. When I started SQL Server service and checking "netstat" with "-na" paramters. It shows only one row as "TCP - 0.0.0.0:1433 to 0.0.0.0:0". What "0.0.0.0" means and why foreign addres port is "0". I guess, It should like to be "TCP - 10.0.0.4:1433 to OutsideIp:1433". I removed forwarding from my router and used Windows's Network Connection to forward ports. I opened ...Show All

• Visual C# Access a SAMBA share via C#

  A search for "SAMBA" in this forum returned no results, so I am assuming that this question is not already covered somewhere else... I am trying to programmatically access a Samba share from a C# application. Is there any way to facilitate this using C#/.NET Or is the only option here to write a Win32 Shell app or dll Any guidance is appreciated... Thanks, Outsideshot Samba emulates the Microsoft CIFS and SMB protocols. So, you should be able to use it just like a regular Microsoft Windows network share. Use a path like \\sambaserver\fileshare\filename.txt ...Show All
