• Smart Device Development Install message -requires intallation of OpenNETCF.SDF.WCE4.ARMv4.CAB for it to run properly

  In my application i just want to use one of the opennetcf dll's so i've added it to my project so when building the cab file it will be included in the content. However each time i run the cab at the end it pops up the message box saying "requires intallation of OpenNETCF.SDF.WCE4.ARMv4.CAB for it to run properly. Install the Cab before using this application." So how do you prevent this message from showing.

• .NET Development Parameterized queries

  When using a parameterized query such as: SELECT LocationID, StreetNum, StreetName, rowguid FROM tblLocations WHERE (StreetNum = @StreetNum) AND (StreetName LIKE @StreetName) Is there a way to automatically add % to the beginning and ending of the parameter I've tried the following command: SELECT LocationID, StreetNum, StreetName, rowguid FROM tblLocations WHERE (StreetNum = @StreetNum) AND (StreetName LIKE '%' + @StreetName + '%') But I get a FormatException. I don't want the user to have to type % in the parameter field. Any suggestions Thanks, Lee Thanks Blair. You are awesome. VMazur & Fre ...Show All

• Visual Studio Shared files are not marked with any special icon

  I noticed that source safe shared files are not marked with any special icon in the solution explorer. This is very inconvinient, since anybody can forget that a file is shared and harm other projects using it! Thanks for reporting this. I opened a suggestion bug for this, but it's unlikely we are going to change this behavior for VS 2005 release. Hopefully we'll fix it in next realease... Thanks, Alin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Designer Rules Support

  Hi, I'm in the process of trying to setup a demonstration application which shows an example of workflow and rules management. I need to basically setup a workflow, set some properties, then run the workflow from the designer. Part of this demo include the use of an IfElse activity and a Policy activity which link with the rules engine portions. I've trundled through the examples and the current samples get things about 75% of the way there, and I've probably gotten another 5-10% there by looking at the threads here, but I'm still stuck. Here is what's happening: 1. Create a new workflow 2. Drop an IfElseActivity on the design surface, thro ...Show All

• Visual Studio 'Unable to find the report in the manifest resources' - Build Action is missing??!

  Hello, I have just upgraded my VS2003 project to VS2005. Had a million things to fix, but I'm finally down to the last few. The biggest remaining problem is my Crystal Reports don't work. The error message is below... On googling it the answer seems to be I have to include the *.rpt's as an embedded resource. However, and this is the really odd bit, the properties that should show up in VS2005 to allow me to do that are simply missing! No matter how I fool around with it, there is no Build Action property when I select a file in the Solution Explorer. I notice that if I create a Windows application in VS, the Build Action property ( ...Show All

• Windows Forms Accurately setting the font size

  Hi, I have a Rich Text Box in a windows form and I set the font type and size by grabbing information from a database. This rtb eventually appears in a Crystal Report. I use various methods to make sure the comment in the rtb fits into the box on the Crystal Report when printed. I have noticed recently that it is not 100% accurate. I am not expecting it to be 100% but I need it as close as possible. One problem I am having is that if, for example, I set the Rich Text Box font type to Comic Sans and the font size to 8, the text is appearing slightly smaller in the Crystal Report. I have noticed that if I copy the text from the RTB into Word, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions .NET and Oracle

  Well, I didn't find a specific forum where to post this, so I'm doing it here, at Installing and Registering. Maybe someone can lend me a hand. Here I go: I'm covering the role of IT Manager in an enterprise that expect to make a big jump in the forecoming months. We worked with Oracle technology for a very long time and I think it's time to make a twist in our old Developer Suite-made applications. We have just two options to go: .NET or Java. I know that Oracle, historicaly, supports Java and bla bla bla, but I find Java and all its world a little... sluggish about medium and big applications construction and deployment.
