• RHunter1 Upgrade app over the net - versioning

  Please can someone point me to some samples of auto-updating one's C# app over the net by checking current version no off the website. Thanks for any help. Well the way I have done it is to create a webservice which your application calls, sending it information about itself, then the webservice would detect on the server if there is a newer version and if so, it will take the bytes[] of the new version and send it across to the client (your "old" application) I dont think there is a way of doing it "over the net" like Windows Update for example.   in order to create a webservice, I am unsure if the WebDeveloper Express edition of VS2005 has this option, but it is available in the full v ...Show All

• Mohan1 MS Project file in Sharepoint marked as read-only

  Hi, We are experiencing the same problem as this person (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=8011&SiteID=1). Even though no one has the project file open, MS Project says that the file is in use and is locked for editing (but no specific person is named, like when someone really has the file open). This happens even when I am the only one editing a MS Project file. After X number of minutes, the file can be opened in read-write mode again. This bug makes it practically impossible for us to use Sharepoint as it makes us re-saving documents in other filenames to be able to save the files, which means we could as well use a file system to save our documents in. Now, my colleague has dug up a KB article (http://support.mi ...Show All

• Sputnik_Johan Sending Page Down to WebBrowser control

  I have a VB.NET program that loads a web age into a WebBrowser window and I want to programmatically page down to a section of the page. I can get the page to load fine, it is the Page Down command that I am having trouble with. I tried to activate the webbrowser then send the {PGDN} with SendKeys method. It works intermittantly. The problem seems to be in getting the webbrowser to be actived before I send the {PGDN}. I have tried things like: WebBrowser1.Focus() Me .ActiveControl = WebBrowser1 active = Me .ActiveControl but I see other controls on my form get highlighted from time to time. If i manually click in the WebBrowser then send the {PGDN} it works fine. I even tried programmatically moving the ...Show All

• Beast Forever Deploying Across Domains

  A common scenario is to keep qa/production boxes out of the development domain.  I set up my TeamBuild service to run under a local user account and set up the same local username/password account on the boxes I need to touch as part of the deployment (TFS, QA and Prod box).  My build process copies the compiled files over and creates the virtual directory appropriately using the Web Deployment Project's dll -- specifically the CreateVirtualDirectory task.  However, my CreateVirtualDirectory task (not my copy operation) is failing in the situation where I'm using this local user account strategy between two boxes not in the same domain.  Is it something the CreateVirtualDirectory task is not doing; I'm not doing;& ...Show All
