• Software Development for Windows Vista how to:hook up wpd autoplay for audio program?

  I also posted this on another dev board as well but... It appears the Vista does things a little differently for mp3 devices for the autoplay registry settings then XP did. I have looked for info on setting up autoplay for "WPD" and haven't found much. Anyone have a lead on this To sum up, when an mp3 type audio device is connected(usb) I need my program displayed in the autoplay choice listing. I am able to "manipulate" the registry, making this "work" but I'm really in the dark about the wpd device key. BTW, this feature worked for XP. Any info is appreciated. Thanks ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Uhm, what?

  I am trying to use a Custom Build Rule to build assembler files, much as described by Jeff Abraham and I am kind of running into the same problem. The rules files only differ on the extension used and some quoting practicalities. I don't agree with Jeff's analysis of what is going on however: An unfortunate side effect of this build rule is that you end up deploying the .obj produced, because it becomes a project output As far as I can see it's rather the case that a file called <projectname>.obj becomes a project output. I don't have any file by the same name as the project and so I will never have a .obj by that name, so d:\...\ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: Make mail properties readonly

  Is it possible to make Outlook MailItem properties (e.g. To, CC, Body) readonly so that the user cannot edit them after the add-in populates the fields Also, if the add-in inserts HTML into the body, is it possible to only allow the user to edit form fields in the HTML We are trying to build a system that allows you to submit structured form information via e-mail. Thanks! Josh Two things: 1) You can cancel the Write event on a MailItem so that it does not write. 2) Why not use Word as the email editor, use a schema behind the mail template and use this as your structuring framework It is a superior ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual C# Express Edition: Toolbox Components Disappeared / Reset Doesn't Work

  I have been using Visual C# Express Edition productively for a couple of months now - very impressed with the stability and only having to deal with a few minor quirks. Today unfortunately I am encountering issues with the Toolbox. Upon starting up the IDE today and loading my ongoing project, I found that several Toolbox categories had gone missing. For example the "Common Controls" category. So, I decided to try the Reset Toolbox option. When I did this (and it's happened twice now) I received the following error message (a dialog box): Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Microsoft Visual C# has encountered a ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you trigger the ProgressChanged event of the BackgroundWorker???

  I'm having problems with the BackgroundWorker I am trying to have the background worker refresh my RSS Feeds in the background and I want a progress bar to show its progress. I added the backgroundWorker object to the bar below the form in the form editor, setup the three message handlers and added the code below to my form's class. The first messagebox is displayed but the second isn't. As soon as my code hits the ReportProgress line it immediately jumps to the RunWorkerCompleted function.

• Visual Studio Team System Making work items forms read-only for a particular state.

  Hi, Does anyone know the simplest way to make work items read-only Let's take the bug work item for example. Suppose it has the following states: proposed, approved, ready for incorporation and incorporation complete. When the state moves to "read for incorporation", the bug form for that one record must not be modified. I endded up setting scoping rules for each field by state. (There must be an easier way!). I did not expect the rules would take into effect immediate once the state field changed. So, if the description field was changed, and then the state set to "ready for incororation", the contents of the de ...Show All
