• Visual Basic Ordinary users can't update MDB files installed in same directory as app

  I'm using Windows Installer 3.1 to put my VB 2005 application on user machines. The destination folder is C:\Program Files\my company\my app\. The application uses an Access DB that I have been putting in the same folder. The application and data are to be accessible to all users and the DB needs to be able to accept new data and modifications. All is well as long as the user is a power user or administrator. Ordinary users sometimes find that the default installation won't allow them to update any of the files since the folder, being under Program Files, is created without the necessary permissions. This yields the ever-popular "Ope ...Show All

• Visual C# Bug or intentional: aspnet_Membership_GetUserByName does not update LastActivityDate

  I've just begun to extend the membership framework for .NET. I've noticed that aspnet_Membership_GetUserByName has the potential to update LastActivityDate in aspnet_Users, but actually will not ever do the update. The "problem" (unless this is intentional) is that @UserId is never set in the select statement before the update statement, i.e. there is no "@UserId = u.UserId" in the Select. So is this a problem with my installation, a "bug", or is it intentional It seems I'm not the only person to notice this ( Membership.GetUser() doens't update lastactivitydate ), but that post didn't receive an answer.

• Smart Device Development Unable to run compact .net application on some PPC devices

  We are having trouble running .Net applications on an iPAQ rx1955. We have installed Compact .Net ( I thought all Windows Mobiltiy 5.0 devices came with Compact .Net). And when we run a simple Hello World application compiled for either 2003 or 5.0 they do not work. They do nothing. The thiking icon flashes for a few seconds and then nothing else takes place. We have had other people with this problem on other HP devices and never found a solution. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going on here Does anyone know what is the percentage of devices with PocketPC 2003 and 5.0 that do not come with Compact .Net as the default. ...Show All

  Hi, all! I have typed dataset, that contains (obviously) typed datatable. I've added one custom column that has an expression (concantenation of two other columns). Automatic dataset generator does not create public constructor for the datatable that initializes custom expression. I have to extend the class manually. Is there any way to set up generator to do that Thanks, Nikolay Ryabkov. Hi! Yeah, you are right, InitExpressions is called from DataSet contstructor, but not from DataTable constructor.
