• Visual Studio Express Editions SendKeys Only Sending Once...

  Okay, I'll be quick. What I'm trying to do is use SendKeys( My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys(String, Boolean)) to sent text to one of my online games so I can play and not type all the time.

• SQL Server New to SQL 2000 Reporting Services - Need Some Help

  I am trying to get SQL 2000 reporting services up and running, and am trying to get a condensed explanation of what I need to do, and any other software I may need to purchase. I have already installed the Reporting Services, and after reading the help, it seems that I have to install MS Visual Studio 2003 in order to design the reports. Is this true. Anyone that can give me some help in getting this up and running - I would be grateful. Thanks so much - Joe This is correct, to design reports there is an extension project system that is available for VS 2003, you must install VS and then re-run ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Email alerts using Exchange (not SMTP)

  Hello, in our organization, we're using Exchange server and SMTP protocol is forbidden. How do I setup Foundation Server email alerts to be sent through our Exchange server (with Windows authentication) Hello enTyon, What Exchange server version is your org using As I understand it, if you are using Ex 2000 or higher, you cannot "disable" SMTP at all because Ex has SMTP as a dependency since all mail internal and external uses it as it's transport. Given this, how is your org "forbidding" SMTP via Exchange I'll need a little more detail please: - Version of Ex - How many virtual SMTP servers do you have - ...Show All

• Visual C# Incremental build?

  Hi,    It looks like incremental build is gone in beta 2. Each time I do a Solution Build, or build a project with dependencies, the whole dependencies tree is built.     Is there any way to restore the incremental build behavior Cheers, Juan Juan, There were a few issues in Beta 2 with dependency tracking that could cause, in upgraded projects, the entire dependency to be rebuilt on each build.  Those have been fixed and now you should see the behavior you expect. Thanks! Anson Horton [ansonh@microsoft.com] Visual C# IDE PM ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial communications outputting and receiving one byte of data.....

  Okay, I am on deadline here.... 3 days... and for the last 2 weeks I have been trying to find the answer. Apparently there is no easy way to use a serial ports in VB2005 express... Most of the code I have found is for the .net version. It really doesn't port well. I have gone through and for the most part changed what needed to be changed. No Luck.... With the code written below that was copied and I duplicated the form to match the text, combo boxes and everything else it just doesn't want to work correctly. I am trying to write one byte of data to a processor and a few milliseconds later receive the response. the outgoing is the addres ...Show All

• SQL Server No support for SQL Server Authentication and SSIS !!!!

  Hi I want to manage my servers from a central location and have the ability to manage my packges too.  Unfortunatley my servers are across domains which means I have to use SQL Server Login, which isn't a bad thing.  However for some bizzare reason I can't connect to Integration Services using this method, only windows authentication which is a complete pain in the butt from a management stand point as I have to copy packages to various servers rather than add them from a central point. Does anyone know if this bug/feature or what ever Microsoft is calling it will be fixed or know of any workarounds.  Thanks   ...Show All

• Windows Forms Automatic toolbox item service ignores ToolboxItem attribute

  The service that automatically creates toolbox items is not using the correct class: it ignores the ToolboxItemAttribute on the component that specifies which ToolboxItem-derived class to use, and instead creates a ToolboxManagerToolboxItem. The result is a bunch of unusable Toolbox items. We have already logic to populate the toolbox with a correct ToolboxItem whenever the designed class is opened in our graphical root designer. So we have good toolbox items placed there, in that circumstance. What we need: How to disable the AutoToolboxService for a Type If there is no way to disable it, how to get it to honor the ToolboxI ...Show All
