• Windows Forms Disappearing Controls

  I am using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition.  I have been using the Windows Form Designer to build a custom control using other controls (a combo box, tab control, and three list view controls, and a label control).  Strangely enough, the controls in the custom control have vanished in Design View, but when I go to the Designer.cs source file (which contains the InitializeComponent() method), the code for the controls seems to be there.  Is there a workaround that will get these controls which seem to be present in code to show up again in the Form Designer view Hi - I'm not sure I understa ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can it build win32 dll which calls c# .net assembly ?

  Hi, We need to write a plugin dll to integrate with a 'legacy' win 32 application using C++.  Sample files are in Dev Studio 6 C++, but we would like to use Visual C++  if it can do the job.  We also have a large library of Visual C# 2003 .net code which we would like to call from our dll.    Is it possible to write a dll (which we compile in c++) called by a win32 application (which is compiled by somebody else, presumably written in c++) which calls managed .net assemblies (which we comile from c#)  using latest version of Visual C++   Many Thanks Cheers Phil ...Show All

• Visual Basic Getting primary key of record just INSERTed

  Hi. What is the best way of inserting a row of data to an SQL Server database and getting the primary key (identity) of the record you just inserted - preferably in as few statements as possible I've not managed to find any examples of this on MSDN. Is there a method that does this without requiring another SELECT statement following the INSERT Thanks, Mark Using a combination of both answers above I went for the approach: Dim  sql As String = "SET NOCOUNT ON " & _   " INSERT INTO Table ( ... ) VALU ES ( ... ); SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()" Dim  cmd As SqlCommand = N ...Show All

• Visual Studio Please advice an event when user closes a document

  During implementation of the VSIP package for VS2005 I faced with the following problem. When user closes a document window I would like to know a file name of the project which closed document belong to. I used IVsRunningDocTableEvents.OnAfterDocumentWindowHide as event when user closed a document. Every time that event comes, the first parameter 'docCookie' always have value 0 and I cannot get any information about about a closed document. Please advice. Possible, I need to use another event in VSIP hierarchy to solve the problem. I think that should be something like "BeforeDocumentWindowHide". ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading files from Temporary Internet Files directory

  Greetingz, i'm trying to read files from the Temporary Internet Files in order to delete them in a .Net 2.0 app. Therefore I used for example My .Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(sPath ) in VB or System.IO.

I used that way of checking files out in a lot of other directories exspecially hidden directories and therefore it works fine. Now whats the matter with that "Temporary Internet Files" directory and is there a way get thi ...Show All
