• Visual C# An input box in VCSharp

  Hi, I'm porting an application I created with VB in VC# and am having a little problem with an input box function. I use language dependent strings, which language is in fact an integer stored in the application settings. It takes for value 0 for english and 1 for french. So, in VB, i used to test the inputbox as following : If InputBox(Alpha(My.Settings.Language), Beta(My.Settings.Language)) <> StartPassword [...] Where A ...Show All

• SQL Server Background image based on Page number

  I would like to be able to change the background image of a report to a preset image based on the page the user is on. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to default the background image based on page number or should I make this custom Thanks, Tristan I think you are going to have to try something along these lines. I only know how to do part of this, so hopefully someone else can fill in the rest. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Latest VCBuild with VS 2003?

    Hello, Our current set up is about 150 projects building with VCBuild and VS 2003.  The build server, which is a dual Xenon CPU with HyperThreading on kicks a build every 10 minutes (if a new check in has been committed), and it takes about over an hour to get the results of our build (debug and release).  I'd like to speed things up a bit, and I believe that if VCBuild could take advantage of the multi-CPU & HyperThreading ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can I create my own BindingExpression?

  I have a situation where I'd like to bind to a system object, but that object doesn't support the property I want to bind to. I could subclass the system object, add the property I want (which would provide its value by "amalgamating" some existing property values of the system object), and then bind to that property. But I'd rather not subclass the system object. What I want is the ability to tell the Binding: "here's th ...Show All

  I'm using VS 2003. With a Dell Axim x51 (with Windows Mobile 2005) I have installed the CF 2.0 on it.  The project was built with VS 03, however I use {application}.exe.config to get it to use the 2.0 CF.  This was necessary to go through an proxy server that uses NTLM.  NETCF 1.0 did not allow this.  This process works until I try to post to a SSL HTTPS page.
