• .NET Development Problem with Asserted Permissions

  I have code that is hosted in IEEXEC. The same code can be run from a local or remote file and it will work. When it runs from IEEXEC it fails because of code access permissions. (The code is trying to use remoting to connect to a host that is other then the one it is loaded from.) The assemblies are strongly named and fully trusted. I found an article that indicates the following line of code will allow code in a fully trusted assembly to do ...Show All

• Smart Device Development switch input method (details) - Transscriber

  I am just wondering and do not know if it is possible: I am working partially at an application that guides the user through a bunch of dialogs where he has to enter in a text box either text or numbers. While playing with the dialogs I used a PDA with no keyboard and used the transscriber, but it is kind of nasty to manually have to switch between the letter recognition and the number recognition, especially because the application "kno ...Show All

• .NET Development Where's the Web dev forum?

  Like the title says... where's the Web dev forum for us ASP.NET monkeys I think some people forget or do not know there are two specific sites for specific .net development I would always consider http://www.asp.net as the primary asp.net forums And I would always consider http://www.windowsforms.net  as the primary windows forms forums. Those site have been there since day one. These I guess would be ev ...Show All

• Windows Forms Passing params to a ClickOnce app launched from a file share?

  This seems like an easy one, but after much looking I yet to find the answer...   I have a ClickOnce client that I'd like to have talk back to a server via TCP remoting. User must be able to launch the client from a file share. Based on my testing, I believe that I won't be able to use ActivationUri to pass QueryString params. So how can I pass the remoting URI for the server to the client I found that ApplicationDeployment.C ...Show All

• .NET Development Hashtable and XmlSerializer

  Just a quick one for you; In Vs 2005 Beta 2 is it possible yet to serialize a hashtable property using the XmlSerializer. Thanks Graham You can always implement IXmlSerializable (now supported in .NET 2) and process the XML serialization actions yourself. Perhaps not what you'd want to do but I've used it to good effect. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Making my own Grid - Problems

  Hi All, I have made my own grid using labels. It works OK but can be a bit slow to draw even with suspend layout. My problem is this, after I start moving arround my grid it seems that my system is creating multiple labels and putting them over the top of others. As a result when a label click event is fired, it fires for each overlayed control as well. Clearly I need some way of knowing if the label has been made already and using that label in ...Show All

• SQL Server Consuming Multiple Messages In Parallel from Multiple Windows Services

  Hello All, After hitting limitations in the SQL CLR world that bar us from invoking COM objects we are forced to use windows services to read the messages off the Service Broker Queues. Unfortunately we loose the auto activation feature in the Queues, but we can still read messages and perform the SQL work under one transaction. We are going to attempt to take N messages simultaneously from the Queue, though N instances of a windows service. If ...Show All

• Visual Basic DAta Sources Toolbox functionality reversed

  When I am looking at a code window all of my data sources are visible in the data sources toolbox. When I am looking at a form, the toolbox is empty and greyed out and no options can be accessed. This is exactly opposite from how it worked in beta 1, 2 and RC1. Anyone know what the deal is with this As of right now I cannot drag/drop a table onto a form because all the tables are hidden when I am looking at a form. Thanks, Josh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Data from a Checked Listbox

  Howdy, I'm trying to use a checked listbox to choose some numbers to add and return the total value to a label. Here's where I'm at so far (i'll throw in as much code as I can). I want to step thru the checked listbox list and if a box is checked add it's value to the total and then return the total of the checked boxes to a label. I can do it with a bunch of If statements, but I've got 14 checked listbox items and would rather use more autom ...Show All
