• Visual C# Strange prolem with Culture settings

  Hi, We are writing the .net application that should always work in en-US culture, regardless of the control panel settings. I was able to force the GUI culture to be en-US by the following code Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-CA", true); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-CA", true); After that the DateTimePicker components are always displayed in en-US culture, which is good. But the PROBLEM is that if I retrieve the the DateTimePicker value in the code, it comes in Control Panel settings again. To retrieve the value i use the following: pickerDate.Va ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Working folder already in use by another workspace on this computer

  I am getting this message on a computer on which there are no other workspaces for that computer. In addition, all of the working folders have been deleted for the workspace that I am working in. We do occasionally log into that box with another user name, but there were no workspaces defined under that login either. (Besides, can't we see all the known workspaces if you log into TFS as admin anyway -- BTW: I don't particularly like that "feature" under the standard workspace editing location for admins because its easy to grab the wrong one.) You may want to try running "tf workspaces /server:[ser ...Show All

• Smart Device Development vs2005 compiler is fatally flawed: generates bad code

  In this very simple excerpted code, the compiler fails to do its job.  If you want it recreated, I propose someone there try to recreate it.  I've already got it happening here.  It's as simple as it gets.  From the type of failure, it looks like it's going to happen a lot. r12 is assigned the address of mc.decodePriority only if gDecodeMaxPriority >= 3, yet it, r12, is still used as the store address when it is not >= 3.  r12 is pointing to nowhereland in the code below, when, for example, gDecodeMaxPriority is 0.               if (mc.inWaveMode ! ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums MSN Best App Competition Prizes?

  Hello winners of the MSN Best App competition. Being one of the winners myself, I was wondering whether anyone has received anything (documents, forms, PRIZES) after they sent their affidavit of eligibility back to Microsoft I tried contacting Jennifer Johnson one month ago and she said that they are still in the process of sending out additional forms for us to fill out. She said that they are planning on having all of them sent out by the end of next week (which should've been April 14). On April 18 I emailed her again inquiring about the status of the documents since I haven't received any. I haven't heard back from her since. Th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Structure member definition not recognized

• .NET Development xml documentation

  Hi! I've a problem cos my boss wants to do a strange thing (i think so). i'm gonna try to explain it: He wants to know how the .net generates the xml documentation when you programmer with c#. I mean which classes of .net are called to generate this xml. Basically, how (I supose) the compiler read (I supose) the .cs file and take just the documentation tags (<summary>,<param>...). Once you've got just the tags you need, it's easy to generate the xml, but i don't know how to do the before step. I have an idea but i think it's not the optimal one. My idea is: open the .cs file and go ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Express Security?

  We are releasing an application built on SQL Server Express in the next few months.  Our clients are mostly small companies with little technical knowledge, and they will be using our application on desktop computers where everyone likely logs in as the same user.  As such, my thinking is that we setup SQL Server Express as in SQL Server Authentication mode.  This way they could select an Administrator password upon first installation, and manage user names and passwords from within the application itself.  Any thoughts   Also, how would we install this scenario   We haven't been able to figure out how to custo ...Show All

• SQL Server Attach Access Database to SQLServer

  Attach Access Database to SQLServer It seems it is necessary if I want to put it on the internet through IIS. I tried add data source through tools and tried most combinations, but nothing led in that direction. I also did a search. If not, the alternative is importing the data into sqlserver 2005.  What worries me about this is incrementally importing new tables, views, etc., and new rows.  Is this later possible dennist685 > It seems it is necessary if I want to put it on the internet through IIS.
