• Visual Basic Create a Progress Bar which follows the file's length copying

  Hi to all, I'm a french developper from south west coast in France. And I 'm creating a progress bar while copying a big file. I'd like to manage the progress bar while the file is being copy, and set it with the current length. I tried to do it with a thread but I don't succeed. And the threads in a form are very annoying, cos it can't use global declaration and get arguments in the thread function. I'm using msdn and visual studio 2005, and the information is not enough, that's why I' m coming here. I'm new on the forum so sorry if my message is not that fine, cos I know some of you like messages be nice and placed at the right place. tha ...Show All

• Visual C++ deprecated C functions

  When I compile my project in Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition (Beta 2), I get warnings about functions being deprecated.  I added STRSAFE_NO_DEPRECATE and _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to the preprocessor, but I still get all the warnings.  We don't have any one header file that I could use to disable the warning with a pragma, so is there another way to turn off the warnings Thanks, Cari  i don't see how the deprecated string function prototypes can be "left alone" given that wchar.h includes the following: #ifndef _CRT_INSECURE_DEPRECATE #define _CRT_INSECURE_DEPRECATE #endif i have a lot of code that has ...Show All

• SQL Server Missing Text in Notifications via SMTP

  Hello, We are seeing portions of text missing from our notification emails using NS 2.0 and the built in SMTP delivery protocol. The notification looks fine in the MS notifications table -- no missing text in the field that becomes the email body, so it may be a bug in the xsl transform code where the text disappears. Our xslt is very simple and it has been tested. The field is plain text. We run perhaps thousands of "short" notifications through the system each day with no problems. I can work around the problem by reducing the size of the message from it's original size of 2000 characters to 1600. Nothing in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS Add-in Missing after Installation

  I have installed Visual Studio 2005 RC1 and VSS 2005 RC1 on a machine that has never had a previous beta.  The VSS add-in is not available from within VS2005.  I did it on another machine and it worked fine.  I also uninstalled and re-installed VSS with no effect.  VSS works fine except that it is not integrated with VS2005. Has anyone seen this problem   How can I install the Add-in manually Thanks, Steve Wright You may need to register ssscc.dll file from VSS folder (regsvr32 ssscc.dll). If that doesn't help, we'll need to know - VS version (Express, Pro, Enterprise, etc) - a dump of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ...Show All

• Visual Basic Making a program perform tray icon + com tasks in background without service

  I am interested in porting my KeyStater ( http://keystater.berlios.de ) program to .NET (Originaly written in VB4). The main problem I will be getting is not getting the COM object to work but rather making the programs tray icon update even if the program is not in the foreground. The only viable way I could think about doing this is to make the program a service however VB.NET Express doesn't support making a service and since I am writing the installer using AutoIt I don't know the required command to make the service. Is there a way I can always get the tray icon to update even if it is not in the foreground without making a service I ...Show All
