• Visual Basic DAta Sources Toolbox functionality reversed

  When I am looking at a code window all of my data sources are visible in the data sources toolbox. When I am looking at a form, the toolbox is empty and greyed out and no options can be accessed. This is exactly opposite from how it worked in beta 1, 2 and RC1. Anyone know what the deal is with this As of right now I cannot drag/drop a table onto a form because all the tables are hidden when I am looking at a form. Thanks, Josh Hi, This is a well-known issue with Visual Studio 2005 RC. However we have not been able to reproduce this issue and debug it on a clean machine. One possible reason for this is insta ...Show All

• Smart Device Development "No such interface supported"

  I recently received and installed Visual Studio 2005. When I create an empty Pocket Pc 2003 (or Windows Mobile 5.0) application and try to deploy it, I get a messagebox that says "No such interface supported".

• Visual Studio Express Editions Managing Related Data

  Hi i'm new to VB Express and am finding it slow to get to grips with the database side of things. As an example, I have two tables - publishers and books and I have created a relationship between them. I have created a simple form to display and allow maintenance of the data. If I try and delete a publisher that has any related book entries then I correctly get an error message saying that I can not do this due to the foreign key constraint. so far so good, now here come the questions: - 1. Can I manage the error(s) in a better way so that I can display a nicer message to the user 2. Can I easily test the 'constraints' of a ...Show All

• .NET Development Deploying the .NET Framework with an application

  I have tried to deploy an application onto a computer which does not have the .NET Framework installed, and was soon prompted to download it from the Microsoft site.  However, I would prefer to be able to install the .NET Framework (Version 1.1.4322) at the same time as the application. I have since downloaded the plug-in and rebuilt the application, but this leaves me with the .msi file, the setup.exe and the dotnetfx.exe in the project's release folder. Which of these do I include in the installation CD-ROM, and if I include all of them, will it now install the .NET Framework prior to installing the application As a foot no ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading from and writing to a single XML file using multiple appliacations.

  I have multiple applications that may be reading and updating a single XML file and at times my clash. For example, one application will be reading the XML file using SAX to read data and another process may be using DOM to add information to the XML. It appears that as one application is reading the XML another application is writing to the XML. This is generating an error. What are some approaches that I can take to prevent this from happening Thanks When you open a file you may specify sharing options: FileStream constructor File.Open By default, FileShare.Read is used.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using LUA/UAP in custom applicatons

    Hi, The December CTP of Vista has a modified version of UAP/LUA. There's a shield icon (windows colors) next to any setting that requires aleveated status (brings up the verification dialog instead of an earlier dialog that asked for admin password). Also, for other tasks such as opening a file, modifying registry, modifying the drive, etc the dialog pops up asking the user to verify the action. The question being, if I have several settings in my application that I'd like to be either Admin specfic or just out of concern I don't want the user to click on that unknowingly (i.e. might pose a danger to the system/security, etc) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# and application settings

  Hi all , I'm just starting to learn C# after learning a lot of Visual Basic. However, I have become a bit stuck! It's a really simple question but I really can't work it out. I added two settings to a project, X and Y, both integers. I set the scope to Application. How do I then access these settings I need to be able to read from and write to these variables, which is the problem I have at the moment. A site told me to use RocksnGems.Properties. Settings .Default.X //and RocksnGems.Properties. Settings .Default.Y to access the settings (RocksnGems is the default namespace for the project).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. OBB Collision Detection getting it to work

  I have some source for OBB (Orientated Bounding Box) Collision Detection. I'm certain the code is working correctly. However under only certain position will the two boxes collide correctly together. I'm sure i'm putting the rotation and translation data into the matrices wrongly. Though for the life of me i cannot see how the data was ment to be put into the algorithm in the first place. Both boxes are rotated (so both should have associated matrices) yet the function only accepts one RotationState class. Is there something i need to do to combine the two matrices. I was thinking transform one of the matixes into the co-or ...Show All

• Visual C# hiding console window?

  Coding an app to keep Tor open, due to a bug in my router or my ISP being annoying (not clear which) the tor client disconnects after about an hour. So every hour the Tor client has to be reopened; now I don’t want to have a console window sitting around all the time, so how can I keep the console window for the current app from being displayed (I figured out that I can do it by having one app asynchronously open another as a with WindowStyle.Hidden and then closing the first, but that’s so ugly) So how can I keep the console window from being displayed Don't use a console app. Use a window app, and simply ...Show All
