• Windows Forms OLE, Drag and drop

  Hello board - I am trying to hook drag and drop for a seperate process than my own. Specifically, I have a proprietary application that 'hooks' the taskbar notification area "system tray", so that when text is dragged there the application can process it. I am dying to know how this can be done. If you call RegisterDragDrop and specify a window handle out of process, OLE yells at you... If anyone can help, you are a true Guru and it would be vastly appreciated... If you do find away, feel free to post in c++,vb, or c#. THANKS! .NET uses DragEnter, and please read the post again. The taskbar not ...Show All

• .NET Development COM+ LCEs Not Passing Across Network

  The Problem COM+ LCEs fire fine when we place the client on the same machine as the COM+ server.  They fail whenever the client runs on a remote machine using a COM+ proxy to the server. Background COM+ (aka Enterprise Services, Component Services) includes a system for "loosely coupled events" (LCEs).  This system provides two basic services: -- The ability to link two distinct subsystems together using a "permanent subscription", meaning that an event occuring at a COM+ server can activate and run code on some other machine. -- The ability to link clients to a COM+ server so that they can get callbacks, known as "transient su ...Show All

• Visual Studio Vs 6d - asks for database each time it's opened, after server migration.

  Hi Thanks in advance for any help. I had Vss 6d set up on server A, with my users set up so that Vss logs them in automatically when starting the application (" Use network name for automatic user log in" ticked). I have since moved my Vss to another server, B, and I cannot get Vss to log anyone in automatically anymore. I have: - Removed the old DB from the available databases list. - Added the new database to the list. - Ticked "Open this database next time I run Visual SourceSafe" - Ensured "Use network name for automatic user log in"  is ticked in the admin app. - Ensured the default database name is set in the admin app (tools, opt ...Show All

• SQL Server Uninstalling SQL Server 2005

  Besides going through add/remove programs then selecting the components you want to uninstall, is there anything else left over from the uninstall such as mdf files, registry keys, etc. that I need to take care of to feel 100% confident that SQL Server 2005 if off my server before I reinstall a fresh copy All "user data" is left behind. This includes all databases you may have created. It also includes the setup installation log files located at %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\log\. All reg keys should be cleaned up and all non-user data should be removed from the system. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I debug code in design mode (i.e. running under the IDE) using VS2005 RTM?

  I have a problem using the new RTM version of Visual Studio 2005. I write a lot of custom components and a lot of the functionality I provide is available at design time, which I need to test and debug. In previous versions of Visual Studio I would just boot up a second VS instance for the same project and attach it to the first to debug, but that does not work in VS 2005 RTM. If I try attaching a second version of the project (DEVENV.EXE)  to the first nothing happens, i.e. none of my breakpoints will be hit. However I have noticed that there is a {appname}.vshost.exe process running, but when I attempt to connect to that instea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Best Pracices for concurrent development.

  I'm a bit stumped on how to get this working. I've been told TFS will handle this, but the documentation I've read really didn't help all that much. Every week we release a new version of our products. Example. Week 1: Developers are developing version 1.2.3 Testers are testing version 1.2.2 week 2: Developers are developing version 1.2.4 Testers are testing version 1.2.3 As the testers are testing, if there are any bugs, a random developers will be given the task to rectify the issue before the release goes out. Now this goes on at the same times as the development for the next version. Before in VSS we were doing many ...Show All

• .NET Development FtpWebRequest usage

  Hi, I am trying to use FtpWebRequest and my program works, but very slow. I suppose it is bacuse FtpWebRequest opens connection every time when I try to get some information. So if I want to get full directory listing program creates instance of FtpWebRequest class tree times to make the following request Methods: ListDirectoryDetails, GetFileSize, GetDateTimestamp. (well, it's possible to get file size from directory list and this gives 33% less in connections number, but I want to use framework as much as I can - this is the purpose of FW, right ). I took this approach from 'FTP Explorer Technology Sample'. So, I am wondering if ther ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Locbaml doesn't work

  Wrote a XAML application very similiar to the sample from the devx website (and the same way as in the SDK). Used the locbaml tool to extract information. No problem. Got my CSV file. Translated it. Put it back into a new dll. Tried to run the application and it gives an exception saying that it can't find mainwindow.xaml (which is my primary window). Tried all sorts of things, but couldn't get it to work. Only time it worked was when I took the csv file and didn't modify it before I made the new satellite assembly. Then it worked. It has nothing to do with my editors messing up the code, because I opened it up in a hex editor and just chang ...Show All
