• Windows Forms Publish Application Files

  I have an application that has 3 template files as part of the deployment package, and the user has the option to customize these files. If they do customize the files and a new version of the program is available, the customized files are overwritten by the stock templates when they update the program. How can I have the template files installed on new installs, but not on updates Thanks, Frank Use data file mechanism. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6fehc36e.aspx ...Show All

• Visual C++ setting compiler options programmatically.

  I am trying to simplify my life and set up all compiler options programmatically in a single file where I will see what is going on. I created a .cpp file and copied an MSDN function in there that is supposed to do it. My intention is to call this function eventually from the main routine. So far all attempts to compile the file failed with the errors described below. First the code: using namespace System; using namespace System::Object; using namespace System::CodeDom; using namespace System::CodeDom::Compiler; using namespace System::CodeDom::Compiler::CodeDomProvider; using namespace System::String; using namespace System::Object::Micro ...Show All

• SQL Server What happened to my newly created SQLCLR ??

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mimick Outlook 2003 Buttons

  Hi everyone, Hopefully this is an easy question to answer. I am looking to recreate the outlook 2003 left sidebar in Visual Basic 2005 (Mail, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, etc...). I was able to find the correct font (Tahoma) and point size that Outlook uses. I can't figure out how to get the gradient effect on the button (Blue or Silver theme). Do I have to supply the color and then somewhere select a gradient fill or do I have to supply the background as a resource (jpg or png file). I have looked all over the web and I am tired of looking. I was wondering if there are any good sources with demonstration code explaining and using button properti ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication Trigger Problem (SQL 2005): Assistance Please

  Our company is wanting to replicate a bunch of data down from our central server to tablet PC's. We really do not have anyone on staff with solid experience in replication, and have hit an error that we cannot seem to find any information whatsoever on. Here is the problem: When setting up a publication to replicate certain tables, we stop being able to do any updates on the tables. After some research, we were able to narrow the problem into the msrepl triggers the publication places on the table. In the update trigger of the table, the following line is being placed by SQL Server: execute sp_mapdown_bitmap 0x0000000040, @bm output ...Show All

• Visual Basic Overriding Equals Method Using Generics

  I've got a copy of an article from Visual Studio Magazine on my desk (May 6, 2006 "Build Better Collections with Generics" Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo) and I've a question about overriding the Equals method in a generic collection. For example, if I create a generic collection using a 'Contact' object (like one might use in an address book) I can use the default Equals implementation to compare two contacts to help guard against adding the same contact twice to my Address book. The choice is made to override the default implementation because the default implementation checks for equality of reference - if both contacts reference t ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework 1.1 conflicts with Windows XP service packs

  I have a VB6 application that incorporates a .NET componet (WebZinc from Whitecliff). It requires version 1.1 of the .NET framework. If I install .NET 1.1 before any of the critical XP service packs then the program runs nicely. If, on the other hand, I install the critical service packs prior to installing .NET 1.1, I get an error (Cannot find WebZinc.dll or one of its dependencies) when running the program. I've run depends.exe on the program in both cases and in the latter case, it seems to be looking for dlls in the wrong places - particularly dao.dll - and particularly in directories that don't exist like an "en" subdirecto ...Show All
