• Windows Forms Sorting CategoryAttributes for PropertyGrids

  This is my first post, and I just want to say that I am so excited that I found this dev forum.  It will come in very handy for development.  Thanks everyone for being a part of it. I wanted to talk about Sorting Categories in property grids.  I have failed to find anything that tells me how to do it.  I have made a properties sorting class, but not category.  I have come across a way to do it.  Pardon my stupidity if everyone already knows this, but for the new devs, it will help.   Lets take my example: This is property grid data to be shown in a windows form property grid. I'm not going to go into the wi ...Show All

• Visual C# Registry Access

  Here's a case : I want to make login screen and it will block Ctrl+Alt+Del Combo. So far I've known that I need to alter registry key "DisableTaskMgr". It work well when I compile it on my PC, but when I try it on another computer as user, not as Administrator, I got message that registry access (write) is forbiden. So I think I need to know if program runs in Administrator mode or user mode. How I determine that using C# At first I think that Ctrl+Alt+Del is disabled for user mode, but at that PC, user can run Ctrl+Alt+Del and regedit, but still can't execute rktm = rkHKCU.OpenSubKey(TASK_MANAGER,true); so I can alter "DisableTaskMgr" valu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need help with Requests

  Is there any way to merge requests I want to try and get 1 request to click a button and then have a second request do the first request and a second button click. Not sure how to do this as the first request executes fine but the second request seems to ignore the first request which means the panel that gets shown in the first request is no longer visible therefor the second request fails. Thanks Gregor I think there's an underlying problem in your web test. Perhaps the first request is not actually executing properly due to some incorrect parameter value. It's just a guess, but can you check to ...Show All

• Visual Basic access class dll members

  I wrote a Class Library DLL. To check it I wrote a Windows app and referenced the DLL. I wrote "dim obj as new Class" which found the class ok. But I can't get any members by obj. I can see the members in Class View. I can take out the reference to Class and just add in the existing Class.vp and I can get the members from it. How come I can't do this with the DLL This is my first time to try this. Thanks for any help. I figured it out! I had to use WJH in the root when I created the DLL and then use "Dim obj as new WJH.Class" in my test program. When I went back and made the speci ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Print to upper tray in Access

  Hi! Could someone Please give me the vb code to print to the upper tray in Access. Thanks in advance Bruni Bruni, I am sorry you are having trouble with your Access solution. However, this forum is for questions more narrowly focused on our Visual Studio Tools for Office product. This product currently does not have Access-specific tools support. Thus, it would be best for you to consult the MSDN Office Developer Center for more resources and reference documentation for working with Microsoft Access. You can find out more here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/access/ Best of luck with your solution, and I ...Show All

• SQL Server Msg 6573 - method in assembly is not static - how do I make it static ?

  I'm using Delphi 2006 to create a DLL which will be integrated into SQL 2005. It's been a long road and I've made a lot of headway, however I am currently having the following problem creating the stored procedure: My dll name is 'Crystal_Reports_Test_01' In the DLL, my class is named 'Class01'.

• SQL Server How to Delete Files on Maintenance Plan

  Hello, I am creating a Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2005. The 'Back Up Database Task' has the choice 'Create a sub-directory for each database' as SQL Server 2000 does. But when I add a 'Maintenance Cleanup Task' I do not see a choice to delete files on subdirectories. Looks like it only deletes the files from the directory I specify. So, looks like SQL Server 2005 is removing some functionality already available in SQL Server 2000. Is there a way to delete those files without needing to specify each directory I do not see any documentarion about xp_delete_file either. Thanks, Ben Nevarez I am ...Show All
