• Crish Making Application Start on Startup

  Hi, how can I make my application start when a user logs on to windows (on start up) ClickOnce does not give you the ability to create additional shortcuts, or installation folder. Additionally, Express does not come with setup and deployment projects. You will have to upgrade to Visual Studio to get the Setup Projects or obtain an external tool to create Setup and Installation packages (e.g. Wise, Installshield). There are a couple of free ones also (e.g. Inno, NSIS). Additionally, before you start messing with the registry, be aware that you can cause serious damage if you don't know what you are doing. I dont understand now, If you want your program to launch at startup just add it the ...Show All

• tkrasinger Is it even possible to write a program to do what I need?

  Hello All, I am a classic ASP developer. I wrote an ASP app for a companies intranet. They want me to make a "portable" version of it for sales people who do not have access to the web/intranet at certain times on the road. My idea was to have them install IIS on XP (they are all on XP), and run the app that way. The issue becomes that we need to have some way to ensure they have the latest files on their machine. They also want to be able to run the app from a start menu or desktop icon. I wrote an app in VB Express Edition that once installed would open up an IE window and access the ASP files. Here is the code I wrote... very simple: Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Syste ...Show All

• NickNotYet Sample Templates

  I downloaded the MSF Sample Tempates v3 and tried to open the MS Project files. I can't see nothing in there, altough the files are prety big. Can someone tell me how can I see for example the Gant chart Hi folks,      Mike is right, there are only minimal artifacts in the agile template (to keep it lightweight). One of the things that you may notice is that some of the templates are empty. These are to be filled in by the Team Foundation Server. For standalone users (without VSTS), we will post another set (send me a little "r" if you want them).

• renyx Unreferenced component WebtestFramework

  Warning 1 The referenced component 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.WebTestFramework' could not be found. I have tried re-installing VSTS, but am seeing this when I try to build a project with a web test plug-in. While this worked at one time, I cannot say when it started failing.
