• Visual C# how do i prevent "show desktop" or "windows key+m" from minimizing my program?

  hi, i don't want my program to be on "TopMost" but i also don't want it to minimize. Never. even if i disable the minimize feature, the program can still be minimized by clicking on the "show desktop" icon or pressing Windows Key+M. I'd like to prevent that. Can someone tell me a possible way to do it btw, the "show desktop" button doesn't trigger the 'resize' or 'changesize' event in the form. Thanks, For the heck of it...I tried to to do this with Desawares subclassing ocx. (the best I know of) You can stop the minimize event with this....but WinKey m...will always minimize it. Looks like the only way is ...Show All

• Visual C# 101 Samples for Visual Studio 2005

  Hi, I wonder if anybody can maybe help me. I recently downloaded the "101 Samples for Visual Studio 2005", from the following link http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/downloads/101samples/default.aspx I wanted to test and see how Datasets work in the new SQL Express. The application that I was testing is called "Reading and Writing Images from a Database", and is located in the Data Access folder. When I run the application, I can select a new picture and assign it to a group. When I click the INSERT button, the dataset is updated and the code that attempts to save the details. It uses the command <dataset>.AcceptChanges(). I have st ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP linked server issue

  We're using SQL Server for the majority of our applications, but our accounting package is still in VFP 8.0.  I need to make some costing adjustements from our inventory program.  I have linked the VFP database to SQL Server just fine and, using OPENQUERY, I can SELECT data without a hitch.  Performing an UPDATE or INSERT, however, is a different story.  I get the following error: "Server: Msg 7301, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not obtain a required interface from OLE DB provider 'VFPOLEDB'." Scouring the internet wasn't very helpful on this.  Can anyone offer me any suggestions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Graphics character of a checked checkbox?

  Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition: I want to print a checkbox in a RichTextBox. I don't expect the user to check or uncheck it, I just want to display the graphics character of a checked checkbox or an unchecked checkbox. I'm not really sure where you want to go with this. If you want to show a manual of some sort, you could load a "RTF" document containing both text as well as pictures directly into the RichTextBox. That would be the easiest way. ...Show All

• Visual C++ msvcr80.dll not found

  I've created a simple Win32 console application. When I try to debug it, I get the message:  "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80D.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem." The Release version runs fine. Any idea as to what the problem could be Thanks, Jonny This means several things. a) your console application does not have manifest. Either embedded inside or external. To check this, do the following:       `1. Check for <appname>.exe. manifest next to exe. If it is not there, it may be embedded. Go to step&nbs ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Media Compression support

  By supporting the next wave of high performance media, won't there be a need for a new way to compress video/audio streams Our current system is flawed, rendering entire videos into raw streams would require vast amounts of hard drive capacity. I propose a solution to the media storage problem. Given that Media currently is stored in a playable format, meaning you can click it and instantly start playing it in media player, or whatever player you use, why not develop a simple system for storing this content when not in use. Let's get technical, and talk a little bit of math. Let's say you transcode (hexdump) an entire video to a tex ...Show All

• SQL Server SqlDeveloper/SqlExpress Conflict.

  Hi, Background: I'm on a Pentium 2.4 with 1024 mb Memory and 160 Gb harddrive, running XPPro with SP2. I started a project in VS2005Beta2 with Sql2005Beta. When the RTM versions came along I ungraded to VS2005Pro, and tried to upgrade the SqlDeveloper. This ran amuck, but I could still access my database, so after three attempts I gave up temporarily. When it looked as if I was actually going to finish my project, I decided to sort out my Sql. Still had the same problems, but found the Cleanup Utility, which did a great job of cleaning up the residual stuff in the registry. I downloaded SqlDeveloper, and ended up with file reference ...Show All
