• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Wildcards in a "Save As" path string

  I need to be able to save a file to a specific location. Most of the "save to" string is easy to parse, but there is a small portion that is extremely variable. In a DOS box, all I need to do is use a wildcard (*), but the "ChangeFileOpenDirectory" function won't accept wildcards within its string argument. Or will it I suppose the real question is can you navigate to a path without knowing the entire name, but only a portion of the name For example, I want to get to the folder: "..\4700\4731 Best Customer\4731 Documents" . The entire string can be known except for the "Best Customer" part ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Concat variable names

  Hello, I create in my form on-the-fly objects (textboxes). Each object get a name, for example txtAantal1, txtAantal2, etc. With an addhandler, I couple a Sub.

• Visual Studio Team System Setting SharePoint security in sub-folders

  In Team Explorer we can add folders to the Documents folder. Each of these folders that are immediate children of Documents are considered Document Libraries. Security can be configured for these document libraries. Is there a way to setup security in SharePoint for sub-folders within a document library It seems that whenever we try to do just that we are directed to setup security for the parent document library and not the sub-folder. If this is possible for Document Library sub-folders, can security be set for Reports and Team Builds sub-folders Hello Leo, In WSS 2.0, it isn't possible to assign permissions at that granular ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Release troubles

  Hi I have a strange problem. I have compiled and build my project, a small computer game, and it runs fine on my system. But as soon as someone else who doesn't have Visual C++ 2005 Express installed they can't run it. I really don't know how to solve this. First I tought that it was because I was building in debug mode, but now I have made a release build and it still doesn't work. It just says something like, "This application can not start because its configuration is invalid" I'm using a free game engine to develope my game, called GameX, from were I'm using a lib-file.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Sort Data Before Storing in Dataset - Create Array?

  Hi everyone, I have a routine that basically follows the Microsoft article on getting installed software from a computer ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;821775 ). The name of each installed app is stored in a programmatically created dataset. Then at a later time the data from the dataset is filtered and presented in a listbox to show the installed apps. The problem is that I would like the data alphabetized in the listbox. I can't use the .Sorted method on the listbox due to it being linked to the dataset. My next thought was to add the data to the dataset alphabetically so that it would be returned that way. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB will not go on the net!

  I have installed VB 2005 on windows XP SP2.   If I try to select anything that may connect to the net it reports an error to Microsoft and restarts the application (with my permission).   However, if I run a minimal boot VB works just fine!   I have tried disabling every system, driver and program that I can think of but only a minimal boot will allow it to work.   Strangely if I have IE running on some sites that use Java I can use some (but not all) of the net related VB services.   I connect to broadband via 802.11g to a router.   Any ideas   Francis   I use v ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to Force the IDE Appdomain to recreate itself for a Web project

  When a web.config file is modified either during debugging or outside of debugging the appdomain that the ide is using to host the project is torn down. A new one is created on the next attempt to build / rebuild the project. I've occasionally run into an issue where the attempt to build /rebuild results in an exception in the IDE: attempt to access an unloaded appdomain Is there a way to hook the Build event and ensure/force the IDE to recreate its domain Thx There is no way to force re-creation of the app domain. The build system was designed to wait for the next app domain prior to building. I'll check a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System 2 Projects do I need 2 installs of VSTFS?

  Hi, I'm currently working on administrating a VSTFS. I have a Dual-Server Deployment on Virtual PC for learning purposes. What I have been asked to do is segment one project for a client from all of our projects on VSTFS. The client will want to take over the management of there own projects using VSTFS on their system. I will have to migrate our copy of the project to their system. Everything I've seen so far leads me to believe that projects are on the collection of DBs that were installed with Team.   These are my questions:   Is there a way to pull out one single project (with all the background work items and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Hyperlinks in Process Guidance text.

  Hi, I am looking at the Process Guidance from Build 97 and have noticed that links embedded in descriptive text are not being rendered as HTML hyperlinks. For example, in the Overview of the Identify Security Objectives activity, the word "adversary" in the sentence "...Prevent Marty (an adversary) from ..." should be a link--but it is not. I assume this is due to the XSL that renders the Process Guidance. Is there a quick fix for this Regards Allen Jones   Hi Allen,     You have come across a feature that we have been working to implement, internal links. Internal links are ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ReadOnly Vs Enabled

  What is the difference between ReadOnly and Enabled property of a TextBox. In what situations we can differentiate these two properties. Thanks In the context of a TextBox, readonly allows the user to set focus to and select and copy the text but not modify it. A disabled TextBox does not allow any interaction whatsoever. Use ReadOnly when you have data that you want the user to see and copy, but not modify. Use a disabled textbox, when the data you are displaying is not applicable in for the current state of a dialog or window. ...Show All
