Visual C# Extensibility
The new spacing configurations in VS2005 are fantastic. In fact, they are so great that they have inspired me with the desire to write an AddIn that allows me to perform even more spacing logic that I particularly like. Is something like this sound possible You might want to try asking this question on the C# fourms as people over there might have a better idea of the formatting tools that currently exist for C#. I'll look around and see if I can find a formatting example. In the meantime, check out the macro project included with VS as there are a lot of samples there that might help you get started.

Visual Basic Uninstall file
Hi, Can someone tell me where to find the uninstall file for any given program Where is it normally located Or else, if it has to be created, then how can I go about doing that Thanks a lot. As long as the program appears in the Add/Remove Programs applet, you can find the uninstall commands in the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Look through the subkeys for the UninstallString value. The DisplayName value gives you a hint which program gets uninstalled. ...Show All

Try creating a simple form with a MenuStrip, and add a menuitem (for example "Hello") with a shortcut on it (for example "Ctrl+H").

Visual Studio Code comments in MPF - How to associate derived Source class with VSPackage?
To associate new characters for code comments - single and multiple lines (blocks), the VSIP documentation says that you need to extend Source class and override GetCommentFormat method and return the appropriate CommentInfo structure. It also requires that the registry entry EnableCommenting is set to 1. I did the above, however I am not able to understand how to associate the new MyLanguageSource class with the Language service VSpackage to get the new code comment characters. Anyone knows how the association can be done Thanks in advance. Regards, Vinay Ahuja Vinay, Have yo ...Show All
.NET Development What type of security should I use on web app(asp.net)
Hi, Hopefully I've posted in the correct forum. I have a relatively simple C# asp.net web app that a user enters personal data it POST's back to the server and an email is sent to a specific user with that data. I have all the code and everything working, my problem now is security. I want to implement some on the POST and on the email, but hopefully with no cost$(third party) involved and conceptually easy to develop. I've looked at the Cryptograhy class in .net and I am just over whelmed, not too mention every site out there has a different way of doing it It seems like I either need SSL, DRM, PGP, Certificates or something to that ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Intermediary router and interoperability
Greetings, I am currently designing a solution which requires to have a high level of interoperability. The services will be used by external clients but also by internal applications. For me it would make sense to have 2 different bindings for both audiences. One would be wsHttpBinding for external clients and the other would be netTcpBinding so i can get the best performance for my internal applications. One thing though, is that i don't want to expose these services directly to the outside world. (They are deployed in a secured zode). Therefore i want to use a router similar to the one in the SDK (Intermediary router) that i will ...Show All

.NET Development Same data access takes thrice the time in .net than vb.
Hi, I have migrated my app from VB to VB.Net. A 3-tier app with remoting and COM+. I am experiencing a long wait time of about 3 times higher than what it would take in the VB App. I am using DataAdapter.FiLL method to fill the datatable. I have tried.
