• skyliner34 Portable Apps in .NET 2?

  Hello, I was wondering if making Portable Apps (apps that doesn't require an installation. Run hard-copy) in .NET 2 was possible. If not, how is it possible (what programming languages, and frameworks ) Thank You Keehun P.S. Does this have to be done in pure C++ without any .NET stuff Thank You yes you can make an executable app without requiring an installer. The compiled application will be stored in your project/solution directory under the debug\bin or release\bin however in order to run applications created in .NET platform, the computer MUST have .NET framework installed. Oh, forgot about that Bin folder however, I was wondering if there is any way to embed all the .NET 2 stuff with DLL's so that the user doesn't ...Show All

• UncleSam89 Copy, Cut and Paste Functions in VS2005

  Hello-- I am trying to implement the copy, cut and paste functions in my program.

Is there an easy way to copy the selected text of any control to the clipboard Thank you for your help, Dave yes, once you selected the text in the textbox just do a Cut/Copy/Paste method call: Me.theTextBox.Cut() Me.theTextBox.Copy() Me.theTextBox.Paste() is this what you are after Many thanks Ken.

• DSent Overwrite Drop Location and keep output from project files!!

  Hi All, Is there anyway that I could by pass drop location and keep the output as I set in the project files Best Regards, Since Team Build hijacks the output directory, my recommendation would be to let it. After the compilation completes, write a custom target that will copy the binaries from the output and source directories to your custom folder structure. You can then zip up the whole structure for deployment. While not the optimal answer, it is the only reasonable one without modifying the Microsoft.TeamBuild.targets file, which I would highly caution you against. - Steve Hi You could also use the following to copy your binaries to the proper location <Target Name=" ...Show All

• ccal TFS Warehouse Processing Error

  First up, I have deviated slightly from the stock TFS install because we prefer to use Kerberos rather than NTLM for authentication. To that end, all TFS services and app pools are running under a domain account and SPN's for the HTTP service (both NETBIOS and FQDN) have been registered under that account.

• Cammyr Labeling and local files

  Hi I have a rather complex build process that should label all files upon successfull build. Since the process takes about 20 minutes I'm worried that new files might be committed during build and therefore be labeled wrong. My question is therefore: Is it the latest files in the tree that are labeled, or the version of the files that I have fetched locally Best Regards, Snorre Ah sorry, I'm not using team build, but cruisecontrol.net and nant to do the build. (Team build has proven rather useless in our Continous Integration environment) so the labeling is done manually (tf label ...). What I want to do is to label all files that I fetched 30 minutes ago, and excluding any changes committed ...Show All

• dreameR.78 Where is the download?

  can anyone help, I need to know where to download and install new templates. Is it even possible to get more other than starter kits with VB 2005 Express Example: Web Service or Setup.exe for microsoft installer Thanks! thanks! The Express Editions are by their very nature limited compared to the higher versions and one of the key areas that they are is in the area of add-ins. In order to build a Web Service in Express you would need to use Visual Web Developer and for MSI style setup programs you are pretty much out of luck as that is only available with the higher versions of Visual Studio.

• DamsDev2007 Access to Input boxes on URL page

  The overall objective is to enter account nos. or PINs in the target URL programmatically (or at least with some user navigation). I could have had a solution, at least with the user navigating to the input boxes, but this requires that I intercept the keystroke at the box. Unfortunately, the PreviewKey event for the browser doesn't permit the replacement of a character with anything (e.keycode is read-only). Any guidance on this is welcome. GordC GordC, The question can be turned into how to modify the certain part charaters in a URL, just related to input a string or the string substitution. However, when you open the TextBox with PreviewKey event, there is a set of characters that cannot be modifie ...Show All
