• .NET Development Posting Data to Internet Explorer using SHDocVw dll

  I have a scenario where I have to open a new instance of IE and navigate to a URL which requires some header information to be posted to it. I am using SHDocVw to do this, Following is the code I use. Whenever I call the navigate method, new instance of IE is opened and I could see the URL in the Address Location but the page is not displayed which I assume is due to the fact the header information is not posted properly. The same code works fine with WebBrowser control SHDocVw.InternetExplorer explorer; object oMissing = null; object headers = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" + "\n\r" + "sid:324w ...Show All

• .NET Development SecurityException when open a new connection

  I got an SecurityException when trying to open the database connection. I've found that it seems to related to the location of my project files which are located on a network drive right now. I'm just curious why the program works fine but only the data access part fails. By the way, how can I overcome this problem Thanks! when you run your application from a network-drive, your app does not run under the same security level like the one if you run it as from your local disk.

• Visual C# Where is Object Test Bench in Beta2 (VSTS)?

  I have installed VS 2005 Beta2 Team System - the full suite. And I can't find Object Test Bench any where.
