• Visual Studio Error When Deploying Application

  Hi, When I deploy my win app which includes a reportViewer control I get the following message. Unable to install or run this application. The application requires your system to be updated to Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms Version 8.0.0.0.

In certain circumstances, when the user selects a different item on it (index) I want to be able to prevent the index change and revert back to the originally selected item.

Thanks Actually, these is a simple way: Keep the index of the currently selected item. Everytime the user changes the index, you will receive the IndexChaged event. Check i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Missing database updates when running a Web Test

  When recording my Web Test I do some actions which add some posts to my database. After the recording the updates are as expected. But then when I run my Web Test it doesn’t perform any updates at all. I also added the Web Test into a Load Test, but still it won’t do any updates. Might there be some special settings in the test tool in order to allow database updates There is nothing special you should need to do.

• Visual Basic Making a program perform tray icon + com tasks in background without service

  I am interested in porting my KeyStater ( http://keystater.berlios.de ) program to .NET (Originaly written in VB4). The main problem I will be getting is not getting the COM object to work but rather making the programs tray icon update even if the program is not in the foreground. The only viable way I could think about doing this is to make the program a service however VB.NET Express doesn't support making a service and since I am writing the installer using AutoIt I don't know the required command to make the service. Is there a way I can always get the tray icon to update even if it is not in the foreground without making a service I ...Show All
