• Visual Basic Running an external application

  Hi All: I want to program a button's click event to run a Windows batch program.  Is this "legal"    If so, could you either provide me with an example or point me to where I can find some documentation on this.  If not, please tell me how this little feat can be accomplished elegantly. Thanks. Thanks for running the code for me, David.  It turned out I did have a problem in the definition of strTextFile.  Once I sorted that out, the code worked fine. Sorry to have bothered you with something so elementary. Regards, Roraima ...Show All

• Visual C# Installing windows service without VS tools

  Hi, i have developed a windows service on my test server and i allways used installutil.exe to install my service. Now i want to install it on a real server, the problem is that i don't want to install Visial Stuido on the server to have access to "installutil.exe" that will install my service. I wonder if there is another way to install a windows service without having VS installed on your computer. AFAIK installutil.exe is installed with the .NET Framework runtime in %WINDIR%\Microsot.NET\Framework\<version>. You don't need VS to use it. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to split out table rows into 3 tables

  I imported all rows of my txt file using SSIS 2005 into a table.  I am now trying to figure out how to split out the header, payment rows, and maintenance rows.  First, some information. An example of table results is here: http: / / www. webfound. net/ split. txt The table has just one field of type varcha(100) because the incoming file is a fixed length file at 100 bytes per row The header rows are the rows with HD in them...then followed by detail rows for that header (see here http: / / www. webfound. net/ rows. jpg ). I need to 1) Split out the header into a header table 2) Split out the maintenance rows (related to the he ...Show All

• Windows Forms Clickonce online problem : Cannot download the application

  Hi, I made a small Windows forms app that I published with no problem as a disk install using clickonce. However when I tried to make that app available as an online only launch, I ran into problems. Namely I get a 'Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact applicatio vendor for assistance (sic!)" message. I notice something strange in the log : the url of the download start is correct (servername/foldername/appname.application) but the one in the error is not (server/appname/appname.application. Does anyone know if that's the problem and how to resolve it Thanks, MM OPE ...Show All

• Windows Forms PDF inside a Win Form

  I get a Byte[] with a pdf from Reporting Services and want to display this pdf inside a .NET Windows application. I work on Windows XP Pro with Visual Studio 2005 and .Net Framework 2.0. I see two solutions: 1) Use the included WebBrowser to display the pdf. If I open a pdf with an URL it works fine (it opens Acrobat Reader in the webbrowser), but if I make a stream of the Byte[] and uses the WebBrowser.DocumentStream, the webbrowser doesn't understand that it is pdf, and displays the binaries of the pdf. Anyone that knows how to make this work 2) Include some kind of Arobat Reader-container in my Winform so I', not dependent on the browser ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Migrating to Team System from an existing environment

  I'm looking for some strategy whitepapers or documents on how an existing development organization should go about planning a migration to Team System. My development organization has a bug tracking system, we have a source control system, we have testing tools, and project management tools, and we maintain and enhance existing products built with VS2003, VS6 (C++ and VB6), and a bit of Java. We know we will be moving to VS2005 at some point, and we have new needs that our existing bug tracking and testing tools will not handle. So Team System looks compelling. However, we clearly cannot just shut everything down and start over with Te ...Show All

• Windows Forms Icons not showing up on Treview

  I am using VS 2005 Beta and I have a Treeview UserControl that I built for a menu.  I added an imageList to the control and added some icons that I want to associate with the control.  When I build the solution and view the UserControl placed on a form in the designer,  I can see the icons. However, when I run the solution's executable I do not see the icons in the Treeview.  It is like the images are not getting placed into the output of the build or something.  I have managed to break this in two seperate places.  I cannot for the life of me figure out what I missing since this used to work. Anyone ran in ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help on choosing the right product

  Hello, I'm facing the problem of choosing the right product for my developer's group, and I find myself somewhat confused. First of all I'd like to use a stable and tested product, not a beta one, so I excluded the upcoming 2005, because the Beta 2 version to which I gave a try presents a long list of bugs and annoyances at the moment, and there's too much uncertainty on its real final release date. So let's go with .NET 2003, for now... We use only C (maybe C++ in the nearby future) to build a stand alone application for Windows; we don't need support for Web Applications and deployments, distrib ...Show All
