However, I run into problem when I have to pass the status of the board from the main thread to ...Show All

  Hi All, I have created an Windows Service where I am using App.Config for global variables.

(But the same thing if I am doing as a Windows Application then it's returning the right values.) Interestingly, this same Windows Service is working properly in another machine but not ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dialog Box Shadow

  Is there any way to get a shadow drawn under a dialog box with no frame. Prior to Vista I used a thin frame, which gives a shadow, but under Vista the thin frame is thick and allows selection and dialog box movement, thus I now have to use no border to get a non-moveable dialog box. Changing the Active Window Border width does not have any effect on thin frame dialogs in XP. They remain a single pixel. The problem your change causes is that ...Show All

• SQL Server Restore DB without Transaction Log

  Hi, How can I restore a DB without TRN log. As database transaction logs grows too much and I only want to restore the database. Thanks Shafiq You should be wary about just going to simple recovery model. This is not suitable for production systems where loss of recent changes (in the event of a problem) is not acceptable.

Once the project is chosen, the form returns the ComboBox selected index to the addin's Connect class to proceed. So, i made my addin project and managed to create my buttons wit ...Show All
