• vtortola Referenced DLLs - How to dynamically update the path of the reference dlls in another solution?

  Hello, I am working with 2 C# solutions right now, 1 is the main application we are creating (let's call it MainSolution.sln for now), the other is a unitTest solution (UnitTest.sln) created as a separate solution file, as the main solution consists of too many projects and compiling it takes a long time. It was created separately also because different groups of developers can work on the respective solutions they are tasked to do. In the UnitTest solution, we create unit tests for the main solution classes, hence, for each project in the unitTest solution, I've added references to the respective main solution dlls. A typical full path of the Main solution's DLL is C:\MainApp\<foldername>\bin\Debug\<filename>.dll I'm cur ...Show All

• tornin2 Typing in Visual Studio 2005 Text Editor is extremely slow

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. Basically, as far as I can tell by this entire discussion and my own experiences is that the ...Show All

• Wayne R Executable Resources

  So I've written this class library that launches an external application (.exe) and does something with the standard output provided back to it. This external application I have been packaging up in the installer and gets deployed in the same directory as the hosting application, however I was working with resources the other day, and I would like for that external application to not be accessable from the user, but only from within the calling application. The calling application makes use of the ProcessStartInfo class to start up an instance of this class, but I see it only calls executables that have a file path known to them. Question : Is there anyway I can add the executable as a resource by adding a new resx file, adding t ...Show All

• Jweige Calling windows service from a web service

  Hy! I've created a windows service, and now I need to communicate with it from a web service that is running on the local IIS. How could I do this Thanks, Bruno With ExecuteCommand/OnCustomCommand... you can't. If you do need parameters, I'd highly suggest looking into remoting . Thanks, that is one part of it...
