• MGorgone Deploying multiple EXE's using the basic publish mechanism of the IDE

  I have a rather convoluted project. The distributable will come in eight different flavors, each with its main program, libraries, datafiles, doco, etc. Each flavor will also have one or more standalone executables that can be called as tools from within the main program. To complicate matters I'm using VSS 2005 to track everyting and I'm trying to use links both within the IDE and VSS to minimize the possibility of error and to let the IDE do all the work at build time. This works great with the datafiles, doco, etc. (Though I wish that it were possible to use the content / copy mechanism to copy to directories parallel or even below bin rather than within bin. It's nice to have the readme file in the root. Anyone at MS listening BT ...Show All

• Keith Chapman Compiled app failing in InitializeComponent

  I have created a WinForms application that runs fine in Debug mode, but when I deploy it to a server, it fails when it executes InitializeComponent while loading its first form. How do you debug something like this Can you post a stack trace of the failure What's the exception that you get Is the .NET framework installed on the server if the .NET Framework is not installed on the server, the application wouldn't run at all (AFAIK). Perhaps some UI Component is not fully supported on a particular OS (it can happen but do not quote me) what OS is this server you are running the application on how are you deploying it As suggested, if you ...Show All

• John Kinghorn Add and remove data from file

  Is t possible to: Add data to a certain offset in a file without overwriting original data from that offset, thus expanding the file Remove data from a certain offset and length in a file, instead of making a new file of the two desired parts of data from the original file Thanks! Just to add my 2p... when you have the file in memory (e.g., in a string) you can use string.insert to add data and string.substring to remove... :) I would use a StringBuilder (with enough allocated memory) rather than inserting into strings, though - each time you insert into a string, you will create a brand new string (so if your 'string' is 2Mb in size, it'll copy the whole 2Mb to another string). This is what it means when strings ...Show All

• Mel V strategy to get around slow application startup...

  as long as I dropped controls onto the form designer, the application starts up pronto. Imperceptible flicker/painting as the form loads up with tab controls, toolstrips, text boxes, etc. InitializeComponent within Mainform.designer.vb works. The problem is when I add usercontrols in Form_Load. The startup performance degrades noticeably and precipitously with a dozen controls. OK, I am not in Oz or statically linked exe's anymore...the code compiles on the fly. As an experiment I thought I would move the ResumeLayouts/ PerformLayout to the end of the form_load instead of at the end of InitializeComponent. That helped somewhat but it threw into a tizzy some SplitterContainer splitterdistance preperty settings. It's getting comp ...Show All

• R.Tutus Resx designer class

  Visual Studio 2005 generates strongly typed classes from *.resx files that simplify accessing resource strings, etc. The classes are created as internal. I would like to be able to package these *.resx files and associated classes into an assembly that can be shared between custom web controls in an ASP.Net application (i.e. a satellite assembly). To use these auto-generated classes, I have to manually change the class and method definitions from 'internal' to 'public'. Is there any way to automatically generate these class and method definitions as public (I have moved your post to a more appropriate forum). Using the IDE, there is currently no way to automatically generate public classes (although we are planning this function ...Show All
