• Visual Studio Express Editions Indenting issue with code behind

  Hello, I am using VWD 2005 Beta 2.  I am using code behind and noticed that my code is automatically indenting 4 spaces.  If I try to delete the spaces, it automatically inserts it as soon as I leave the line of code. How can I change this to only 2 spaces and how do I stop the automatic indenting from overriding my changes Thanks in advance, sck10 1. Choose Tools -> Options 2. Under the Text Editor node you can change settings for all languages Each language has a Tab node where you can change tab and indenting settings. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to change the connection string property of a Web test datasource?

  Hi all, thanks in advance for your help. We are developing a series of web tests to be used for performance testing. These tests use a local database for parameter data. What I have not been able to change is the connection string of the web test datasource. If we move the tests to another testers machine, they have to create a new datasource, re-establish all of the bindings in the Form Post parameters and then delete the original data source. Is there something I am missing here It may just be a case of 'functions as designed' due to security concerns. Thanks, Shawn Thanks, ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpListener simultaneous connections give HttpListenerException

  Hope someone can shed some light on this. I have seen lots of similar posts, but they tend to point to a client side restriction of 2 simultaneous connections, but I need to know what I can change on the server side. I have a C# webserver which uses HttpListener Note the Thread.Sleep(100) line which is to simulate getting real data to return. The code snippet is HttpListener listener = new HttpListener (); while (true) { try { HttpListenerContext context = listener.GetContext(); byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("hi"); Thread.Sleep(100); context.Response ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions DataGridView isnt saving the data

  Me again... I am struggling with the datagridview. I have generated insert and update queries. When I try and save records by running the Update command: this .tblEnquiryTableAdapter.Update( this .functionJunctionDataSet.tblEnquiry); .... the data DOES NOT save into the database.

• .NET Development SerialPort Timeouts

  Hello It seems that there is a problem with SerialPort timeouts: For start there is no way of setting the ReadTotalTimeoutConstant and the ReadIntervaTimeout values the way we used to do with Win32.

• Windows Forms How do you save a webbrowser page as an MHT file?

  IE has a cool feature that lets you save a web page as a single MHT file.  How can you implement this in vb.net 2.0, using the webbrowser control Not having this exposed is simply silly. If you're gonna include a webbrowser control, how about exposing ALL of the events and properties The current control is about as useful as selling a car with no steering wheel. ...Show All

• .NET Development Just-In-Time Debugging not working through ActiveX script in DTS package

  we do a lot of our coding in ActiveX script tasks within DTS packages. Normally, you can type the keyword "stop" or "x=1/0" on a line, and when you run your script, it forces the JIT debugging window to pop-up and then you can step through and debug your script within .NET or Interdev. This used to work on all of our work computers. It now only works on one remaining computer and we have not been able to figure out what is wrong. We have checked all appropriate options under the debugging menu in Interdev and .NET... we have tried reinstalling by using the "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\v ...Show All

  Dear all My boss asked me to insert some text into the word Document. Let say I have a word document with content inside already and I need to insert some text (ABC) into the position of (Line 4, Column 2 or Left 60point, Top 60points) of this word doc.
