• Visual Studio Filtering the project list in Add Reference dialog

  Hi, My custom project type (VS2003/2005) handles project references to other projects (like c# project). I diplay the "Add Reference" dialog, using the IVsComponentSelectorDlg interface. My question is that how can I filter the displayed projects in "Projects" tab (e.g. hide the already added projects, or the reference to the custom project itself) Br, Gaspar Hi Gaspar, This is assuming that all the dependencies support setting VSHPROPID_ShowProjInSolutionPage property. Your custom project type should support this property if you want selective For the project that you are showing the references for get the IVsHierarchy interface an ...Show All

• SQL Server Managing Database Mail using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Mail managed classes

  I'm trying (or, more precisely, failing) to configure Database Mail from managed code using the classes in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Mail namespace. I can easily retrieve the SqlMail object and create a new MailAccount instance but I can't figure out how to set the name of the mail server. Once the MailAccount is created, the MailAccount.MailServers property returns a single MailServer instance and this is always configured as the local server. In my case the SMTP server used to send email is not on the local server but is located elsewhere in the network. I figure I need to change the name of the MailServer instance, but whenev ...Show All

• Windows Forms Running My EXE The Second and Subsequent Times Displays An Installer Popup

  I have a Visual Studio 2005 C# forms project and a Setup installer project which generates a .MSI that installs the forms project. I run the installer and install the forms project, then I click on the installed EXE shortcut to run the forms project code.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem: Install Vista 5308 on Virtual PC?

  I need to install Vista on a Virtual PC to test installation and running of some current apps I've developed. When I try to install Vista, it boots from the DVD I provide but when I "Install Now (->)", I get an error dialog box: I'm having the same problem, although with a different error message. In my case, it keeps saying that it can't find an accessible hard disk to write temp installation files to. I searched Microsoft's site for any hint that Vista 5308 won't work on VPC, but couldn't find anything. However, I found this thread that has a procedure for a possible workaround. Try it, they say it works. http:/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help with Selection.Find (novice with Visual Basic Editor)
