• Smart Device Development Stop connection balloon?

  Hi Guys, Anyone know if it's possible to hide or stop the connection balloon from coming to front My app dials a GPRS connection but this causes the balloon to appear on the screen until it's connected. I'd really like to stop that happening.

• Smart Device Development Installing CAB's on Pocket-PC.. Program not appearing in the Programs menu

  Hi I've created an application in VB 2005 and added a setup project for a SmartDeviceCab. My Target is pocket-pc 2003. I've added the shortcut to the setup project and all the dependencies. I get the CAB and install it on the PDA. I don't get any errors and it looks as if it installs correctly. However, the program does not appear in the program menu. I can find it in Program Files\Test and it runs fine if I click on the executable. What am I missing Pete pete@infonote.com ...Show All

• SQL Server Possible to use Reporting Services w/o Sql Server?

  This is a very simple question which very probably has an obvious answer. Is there any way to make use of the rendering facilities that Reporting Services offers without having to install SQL Server   The way that I'm planning to use RS is by supplying an XML Data file and reporting from that.  I never plan to report from a database of any kind. I haven't been able to find any evidence that I will be able to do what I'm asking for, but it seems reasonable that if Microsoft supports XML files as a datasource, that maybe the meta-data and configuration data that RS uses could also be stored in XML files. Thanks, Ken Daniel -- T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cyclomatic Complexity

  Hi, How can I view the 'Cyclomatic complexity' using VSTS tools Thanks, Praveen Praveen, I believe that the rule is in the maintainability section and it is called something like "Avoid excessive complexity." By default it will trigger a warning with cyclomatic complexity over 25 and it will upgrade that warning as complexity increases. If you want to configure that rule or add new code analysis rules I would suggest you drop by the FxCop (that is the standalone version of our code analysis tools) specific forums (link below) and ask them there. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowFor ...Show All

Can anyone out there lead me in the right direction thanks! Hi, You could write your own implementation of a sorting routine but a neat little thing I found was that you can use the properties of the List class to do your sorting for you like so: Dim ranGen As System.Random = New System.Random() Dim int1 As Integer Dim int2 As Integer Dim in ...Show All
