• Windows Forms ViewState

  I have a windows form where I'm trying to use ViewState but it's not working properly. do you have to enable ViewState in a config file or in the properties of the form Any examples would be great. thanks Serialization is the closest you come to viewstate in ASP.NET. You serialize the data in the class to disk. This can later be deserialized to create a new instance to contain same data as the time when it was serialized. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet09252001.asp frame=true ...Show All

• Visual C++ NT service returns 80070003

  Hello experts! I wrote a NT service that creates a text file in a folder specified in registry. To create a file, I use CAtlFile::Create method. The NT service is running under local system account. It works fine as long as the folder path specified is local hard drive. However if the folder path is changed to a network map drive and restart the service, CAtlFile::Create fails with error 80070003 (Path not found).  I know this will happen if the computer is logged off because the mapped drive will disappear. But the problems happenes even though I logged on and I can see the folder and create a file there. I changed the servic ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005 Express - Sub Main in Windows application

  hi, Is it possible to use a custom Sub Main on a VB2005 Windows Application project It was possible to set the entry point to Sub Main manually in VS2003, however in 2005 I can only set it to start a form. Thanks,     Hi Ryan, Well, in the full version of VS2005, you can. If you go into the project properties, you can uncheck the box labeled 'Enable Application Framework'. Once that's done, the 'Startup Form:' dropdown becomes a 'Startup Object:' dropdown, and you pick your sub mains and stuff. In VBExpress I'm not sure if it's the same deal - give it a try, and if not, then I guess you can't :) ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactional Replication Error

  Hello, I am a newbie to replication, I recently came up with this error. Cannot use DROP VIEW with 'dbo.vw_UndeliverableEmail' because 'dbo.vw_UndeliverableEmail' is a table.Use DROP TABLE. I tried running these two queries to make sure. SELECT * from syscomments where id = object_id('vw_UndeliverableEmail') sp_help vw_UndeliverableEmail I am sure that it is a view. I am not sure how to proceed since the object referred is indeed a view rather than a table as the Replication Error tries to point out.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Todd @ Devdays in Amsterdam question (about bots on MSN)

  Hi Todd, On the devdays confernce today in Amsterdam you mentioned that to make a bot on MSN you could either go through the Partners, or you could also talk directly through MSN (but have some limitations then) and parse the send strings yourself. Now browsing the forums and the messages about the Bots I see no where mentioned that you can also do it yourself WITHOUT using these partner platforms. Could you clarify how and where I could download an SDK to talk directly to MSN myself and setup a bot Thanks in advance, Reinier v Vliet There is no SDK to talk directly to Messenger.

• Visual Studio Team System Create Private Accessor and generic collections?

  Hi, the generated wrapper class to access private members doesn't contain any accessors for fields with a generic type, e.g. private Dictionary< string , CacheEntry> m_cache;   Does anybody know a workaround for this problem Thanks, Andy Thanks for the answer, Michael. I really hope that some support will be included in the final release, since things like private generic Dictionaries used as internal data structures are likely to become common, we already use them extensively, for the usual reasons (type safety, performance). It would be a shame if it would not be possible to access ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Export string in textbox to a csv file

  Dear all, I'm relatively new to C# so apologies if this seems like a dumb question. I need to export a string in a winform textbox control to a csv file. The csv file has already been created and resides on one of our servers.
