• .NET Development ActiveX not showing up with framework 2.0

  Hello, I am using an activex control on my website. It was running fine with framework 1.1, when I try to run it on framework 2.0 it's not showing up. It's not showing any error message, just a "image not found icon" in webpage's body and "DONE" on IE's status bar. When switch it to framwork 1.1 it runs fine. What I think for the activeX not showing issue is that this might be some security issue because I had the same problem earlier with frame ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using the state of a button

  I've now got my serial communication program working. My thanks to those who assisted. What I now want to do is monitor the state of a button so that I can "listen" to the port continuously but "talk" to the port when the button is pressed.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Beta 3: Files and folders converted to lower case

  We have run a test conversion of our VSS database into TFS Beta 3.  During this process, the conversion has renamed nearly all of our files and folders to lower case names.  This is a problem as we have cafefully used PascalCasedNames for all of these items for better readability, and to match the casing of the class names that many of them contain. For example, in VSS we had \SolutionName   \FirstProject   &nb ...Show All

• Windows Forms extendeding the TextBox control

  I get the feeling we aren't supposed to extend the TextBox control very much because there seems to be a lack of functionality available that I want and cannoy find. Either that, or I'm looking in the wrong place. One things that I want to do is find out where the caret is in the text box because I want to implement an INSERT and OVERWRITE mode for the textbox. There are ways to see what is selected, but no way to see where the cursor positio ...Show All

Speaking of moving folders.  Moving/reordering folders at least manually in the project (text) file worked well before 2005 and is broken in 2005 (now all folders are sorted alphabetically no matter what you do - maybe the C# team pressured them for this, but we C++ guy ...Show All
