• .NET Development Deploying the .NET Framework with an application

  I have tried to deploy an application onto a computer which does not have the .NET Framework installed, and was soon prompted to download it from the Microsoft site.  However, I would prefer to be able to install the .NET Framework (Version 1.1.4322) at the same time as the application. I have since downloaded the plug-in and rebuilt the application, but this leaves me with the .msi file, the setup.exe and the dotnetfx.exe in the project's release folder. Which of these do I include in the installation CD-ROM, and if I include all of them, will it now install the .NET Framework prior to installing the application As a foot no ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Can you point me to an MSN Messenger forum (non-developer)?

• .NET Development console output

  I am making my first steps in C#. I am used to another object oriented language (VDbase plus) but not .NET. I designed a form under Windows Applications. There is a button on it. I want to print a short message to the console. I thought this function will do it on click. It does not print anything. The statement Console.Writeline ("hello") if placed in Main() body does not give any output either. I did set the Project->AppProperties->General->Output Type to "Console Application" and when I click on the shortcut to the released .exe file the windows form I designed as well as the command prompt window (Console) appear together but I ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Paint of DataGridView column headers

  Hi. How can I extends the drawing of the column headers of the DataGridView for instance, to create a GradientBrush on the background. I've found the DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell and I'm guessing it is the key, both how to use it on the grid You can handle the CellPainting event and for the RowIndex of -1 the paint event relates to the ColumnHeader cell. You can also derive a new class from DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell and override the Paint method. If you create your own class, then you can either a) set the column's HeaderCell property to an instance of your custom header class (you'll might want to copy so ...Show All

• Visual C++ error LNK2005: "void __cdecl bp5(void)" (?bp5@@YAXXZ) already defined in test.obj

  Hi All, I generated a simple SDI skeleton using the wizard, and tried to #include some of my libraries. It gave me a bunch of 'LNK2005: ... already defined ' errors. I repeated the basic SDI generation in another project and this time only tried to include a single, trivial header file: mytest.h #pragma once //#include "stdafx.h" void bp5(){  int a = 0;  a+=1; } I include this file in the testDoc.h file of my test project. Despite that this simple header file is so basic, and despite the #pragma once directive, it still gives me the same LNK2005 error! Can somebody kick me and tell me what's wrong Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System IDE does not open my main form automatically

  Hi My app is now under VSTS source control, and all files are there. VSTS even adds new files to source control, something I always thought SS should do. However, my mainform has a different icon in the IDE to the other files, it looks like a red circle with a dash in it. And, while I can check it out explicitly in the source control tab, if I try to edit it, it does not check out, instead it reports the file is read only. I've spent some time looking through properties to try and see what's different, but I can't find any reason for this behaviour. Obviously, there is a reason, and I'm hoping someone here can tell me what it is, and how ...Show All
