• Software Development for Windows Vista Breakpoints not working

  I'm running the February CTP on WinXP SP2 and Visual Studio Pro. I'm running my development environment inside of a Virtual PC VM. The problem that I'm having is that I can create workflows fine, but breakpoints set up on a workflow activity do not work. I see the hollow circle with the warning when running in debug mode. Breakpoints set on the code beside code such as a CodeActivity handler work. I've looked at the other posts on the forum about the same problem, but the solution doesn't appear to be valid for my issue. I'm not running workflows from another library. I've built a console application and have the workflows in the conso ...Show All

• Visual C# how to check the node's text, level and depth in a treeview control?

  For example, if I have a parent node Root and then child node Child created at design-time, I know how to add child nodes to Child at run-time but my problem is adding grandchild nodes to Child. Root Child ChildOfChild1 // created at run-time ChildOfChild2 // created at run-time How can I add child nodes to ChildOfChild1 or to ChildOfChild2 at run-time the children of Child are sorted randomly so their indices change. The child nodes that you add in run-time are also added to there Parent TreeNode. You can allways iterate over the nodes and add new TreeNodes wherever you want. Here is a little example that adds ...Show All

• .NET Development SignData function is detected by firewall

  Hi! I use the RSACryptoServiceProvider to sign some data. I instantiate the provider and its parameters, I read the key from a fixed string and the use the SignData function to sign the data. At the execution of SignData my firewall shows a warning that my application is trying to access a specific computer in my network. I think this computer is used as a DNS server. The SignData function waits until I allow or deny this from the firewall and then returns the results even if I press 'Deny'. I tried to use Encrypt and Decrypt function and they do not behave this way. Why is SignData trying to access the network Thanks in advance, ...Show All

• Visual C# program crashes when other users run...

  Ok, I created a simple program the other day with nothing complex. I have already been using it for a week or so and now another user wants to run this application. That is when the program crashes. The error I get when debugging is: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll It works normally when I (Administrator) run it but when I run it as another user (both Guest and Limited) the program crashes. I tested to see if something the priviliges were correct so i made this program 100% trust and therefore should be available to do anything, but still it comes.

• Windows Forms use a variable to cycle through textboxes

  I have about 15 textboxes, all of which I want to save in a string array. Right now I just code: array[0] = txtbx1.text array[1] = txtbx2.text.... and so on. Is there a way that I can use a for loop and use x  instead of 1 and 2. so it would look like this:   For( x=0;x<=15;x++) { array[x]=txtbx + x.text; } instead of writing it 15 times Thanks. Use the Controls property of the form to get a collection of all controls on a form. The following code iterates through all the controls on a form. If the control is a textbox, it adds the text property of the control to the ar ...Show All
