• .NET Development app.config for a DLL

  Hi all, I'm developing an add-in for Outlook 2003. My output is a DLL file which is hosted by Outlook. I'm using Microsoft Application Block called Updater which needs to read app.config file. The problem is that it gets the Office path and not the dll's. I tried to set: AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile = @"C:\Temp\AddIn\App.config"; But it didn't help. Any suggestions Thanks. Hi, DLL ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I restore a database from a UNC?

  It appears that Management Studio will not allow you to perform a restore from a UNC path. Is this true or am I missing the option to open the magic UNC door I am very new to SQL2005 and this was buried in SQL2000, but it was possible to do in Enterprise Manager. Not to be snotty, but you didn't answer the question. Your point is taken, there are other ways to do this. I can use a script to restore from a UNC p ...Show All

• Visual Studio external link checkers?

  Many of the method and properties links on my SSB SDK ActiveX version are broken. For example, Inkcolor method on Overview page.  Ran link checker in HelpStudio and it finds many broken links, but not the ones on the Overview page. My HelpStudio link checker shows extra links. Once these are deleted, there are no more error messages. Yet I still have broken links. The broken links all appear to be older (recent ones work). T ...Show All

• SQL Server impersonation and aspnetdb user instance

In order to connect to my datastore (a separate machine from my development environment) I need to impersonate a domain account which has permissions for the database on the remote SQL server datastore. However, I want to use role management. The default behavior seems to be creating a user instance called aspnetdb.mdf in the App_Data directory of my application's directory structure.

• Visual Basic Detecting end of Explorer Copy

  I am just learning VB but am pretty comfortable writing moderately complex code and using the help files. I am trying to detect when an Explorer copy of a file ends to start another process. The copies I am interested in are rather long, due to large file sizes and a slow internet connection. I have been able to detect when a stand alone process ends by using "Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcName)" then checking on exit with &quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What does MS use for Requirements Management?

  I know that Microsoft is dogfooding VSTS, but what are you using for requirements management I have seen on these forums multiple posts about Caliber RM for Team System and most say that if you are really serious about requirements, you won't use VSTS alone. I highly doubt MS is using Caliber for their requirements management, but I guess pigs do fly from time to time. When VSTS was used to build VSTS, did you just use scenarios to capture the r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to read data from a GPS

  I just got a GPS and wondered how I could read from it in Visual Basic. I never tried to recieve data from an external device before. I looked on the internet and found out how to analyse the data once I recieved it from the GPS. What I mean is that the GPS manufacturer's software controls the transfer of data from the GPS device to their application. If they provide API's for intercepting that data, you cou ...Show All
