• Visual C# How to have my webcontrols come with images in them

  Hi people, I would like to create a webcontrol that has its own icons built into it (basically, the images go with the code as a single file). I thought that a resource file would do the trick but the compiler complains about converting system.drawing.bitmap to system.web.ui.webcontrol.image. Any suggestions/ideas Thank you very much! You can just add the images to your project and set the build action to embedded resource. A great blogpot of Drew you can find here: Deploying Images with Custom ASP.NET Controls . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office IPropertySetStorage::Open() fails for some MS Word documents

  The following code fails with HRESULT 0x800300fb where wcFileName is a path to certain MS Word documents that contain embedded images.  I would be happy to provide examples of such documents upon request.  They are easily created.  Also, Right clicking on the document in Windows Explorer and selecting properties will fail to display the summary information for the document, so it looks like the Windows OS is running into the same problem that I am.  This appears to be a bug in the structured storage library or in MS Word. :I am working on Windows XP SP 2 with Visual Studio 2003.

• SQL Server Objects in precedence constraints?

  Is it possible to use objects in precedence constraints For example, I have a collection object that may or may not be populated in a script at some point and want to be able to execute different paths depending upon whether the Count property equals zero or not. I realize I could very easily just create another int variable and populate it accordingly, but I am just curious about this. I couldn't get it to work, but then I am really just starting out here and just not sure if I am doing it wrong. Thanks! Brandon Brandon, No, its not possible to do that. The expression language doesn't have tha ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can I do C++ device development in VS2005???

  I need once-and-all final confirmation that to develop applications for CE.NET 4.1 and 4.2 devices (in C++) - I MUST use eVC++ 4 and any version of VS from 6.0 through 2005 for desktop equivalents. (even VS 2003 does not work unless I'm using CF - which I'm not). I have received and read responses to this issue which are all over the map and as such it remains unclear and I remain hopeful. Attached below are snippets of these differing responses. Response from Jeff Abrahams to a recent post: VS 2003 does not support native (i.e. C++) device development; you will need to move to VS 2005 to get this functionality. When you are migratin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Start application as Administrator.

  Hello, Is it possible to run a program as a different user, like Administrator. For example: I define the Administrators password in the program, the program starts, and then runs with Administrator priveleges. I know about the option 'Run as', but i want the program to start at startup, run as an Administrator and do his work. Thanks in advance.
