• .NET Development Embedding resources in a static assembly (Reflection.Emit?)

  I've been looking around a bit on the web now for information about how to embed resources into .Net assemblies, and everywhere, everything I find is about Reflection.Emit and about dynamic assemblies. I want to make an application which creates as it's output another application. This output application should always contain the same code, but different resources - so it's conceptually the same as a self-extracting zip archive. In this, the zip program would not want to programmatically build the entire executable - it would want to use a predefined program and simply embed the zipped data as a resource; precisely what I want to do ...Show All

• Visual C# System.Diagnostics.Process() help

  Hi everyone, small problem with the use of System.Diagnostics.Process() method. I am using the software OmniPeek and well it can be run via the command prompt to start up and autorun and do what I need it to do; I also have a few other pieces of software I want to run along with it. Long story short, I don't want have to constantly go into the cmd promt to do this, so I tried writing a lil widget. The code I wrote however, does not work, it just opens the program and doesn't execute the commands with it. Here is the code [code] System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process(); proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false; proc.StartIn ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Recent Work Items

  Is there a way to see the list of work items I have recently viewed I can go to a work item if I remember the ID, but I usually don't remember it. That is why it would be useful to see the last dozen or so that I have drilled into. If there's no way to do this out of the box, is there a way to customize VSTS to provide this functionality -Larry But can I add a grid with child records off the work item, including an Add button that would pop up a modal dialog to allow the user to enter information for the child record From what I have been reading in the SDK and seeing in the source code exampl ...Show All

• .NET Development MTOM wizard and usage

  I have couple of issues using MTOM: Please, allow Esc to exit the wizard. This is so irritating and it's there since WSE 2.0 at least. What does Require Soap Envelop First option mean in Messaging tab I know I read this somewhere and I have some guess, but I am not sure. The option Client Mode should be set only for MTOM clients. Is that correct Why there is need for such option Aren't processing of MTOM messages the same for both client and server I have set Server Mode to optional in client and server project, but all my messages go MTOM encoded regarding the content. In which cases or how WSE chooses when to MTOM encode t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Quick find and replace very, very slow

  I am currently working with a native VB2005 program that, when I look at the line numbers, is getting close to 10,000 lines. I have a new XPS laptop very fully loaded, and am running XP. When I am working with the app, the IDE seems a little pokey, but that is to be expected - until you try to do a "Quick Find" or "Quick Replace". These take in excess of 30 seconds at times, but usually hover around 10 seconds. Am I doing something wrong All I am doing is pressing the <alt>"E" followed by the <alt>"F" key when the program is not being run or debugged, and I am just looking at the code. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can I determine the listboxitem from a button clicked within an itemtemplate?

  I've got a listbox that is using an ItemTemplate. This template includes a button. When this button is clicked, how can I determine the listboxitem that contains it Here is an idea (but I don't know if it could work): Maybe you can try to find the ancestor of the button. Once you get it, you will have the ListBoxItem and so, you will be able to use it/determine which one is it. Remember that it's just an idea: I've nothing here to do some tests....

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) constructor not executed on deserializing

  When using wcf to send an object over the wire, it seems the default constructor is not executed on deserialization. My breakpoint doesn't get there. Also fields with initialization code are not initizialised on deserialization. I'm implementing [ OnDeserializing ]. After that the members that have been marked as DataMember are being set. At that point I noticed the wrong state. Constructor is invoked for ISerializable types and doc is referring to how OnDeserializing is called in such cases. Thanks for pointing this out. We should clarify this in the document. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Absolute Newbie - How do I know if I'm using Managed Directx?

  Ok I realise this may be a completely stupid question, but I'm very new to programing so bear with me. Basically I just want to know how I can tell which type of directX I'm using.. managed or unmanaged. I'm learning programing with the express edition of C#, using the latest (non beta) directX SDK, and a variety of tutorials I found via the Z-buffer site. If I'm making all my directX function calls from C# (which I assume is a managed .NET language), then am I automatically using Managed directX Or is it something to do with which exact reference and #using statement I include Cheers, TC If you are u ...Show All

• Windows Forms Typing in a ListView with check boxes causes beeps or unwanted checks

  I've got a ListView in a form that has some data in it, and check boxes enabled. For simplicity, lets say it contains the following items: Apple Apples Banana Cat Cat Again Cat Once More Dog If I have focus in the ListView and type a name, it will jump to that name and highlight it. If I type the text "Apple" and then hit the spacebar, it checks the box next to "Apple", and then beeps at me, telling me it couldn't match "Apple ". If I type "Cat" and hit the spacebar, it correctly selects "Cat Again", but checks "Cat". I would like to be able to select things hitting the spacebar, bu ...Show All

• SQL Server Alternative to T-SQL OpenXML

  Hi, Our application makes extensive use of XML to move data between ASP.NET and the backend SQL Server 2000 database. Lately we have found that the OpenXML statement is becoming a major performance bottleneck. Could someone suggest a more efficient way of 1) passing data between the web and data tier or 2) alternatives to OpenXml/sp_prepare_document. Regards Arjun Dear Arjun First, how does your OpenXML code look like There are some best practises that can have a large performance impact. Secondly, are you using Service pack 4 That also has some sometimes substatial performance improvements. ...Show All
