• RayCan process invisible

  Hello, I have designed a program with VB express that when run from the .exe file, it runs as a process. I have prevented the program from showing in the taskbar when running minimised as I want the program to be invisible to the user. I used the form properties to do this. But now when I run it it shows up as a tab down near the start button on the desktop. How do I make it invisible when running in the background Note: I still want it to be seen in the Task Manager so I can shut it down from there. Also: Why is my program showing in the Task Manager as a process and not as an application Thank you for any help. Harvs. If your application does not have a user interface then you m ...Show All

• Sergio Ortiz Problem with references in TFS

  Hi guys, I am having troubles with references in a projects under Source Control, VS2005. And because of them cant run TF Builds. The probem is that when I am finished with editing source code of some solution under SC and it runs perfectly, and I check in pending changes after that, but when some other guy from the development team `checks out for edit ` same solution, even though he clicked that `get latest version` before, he gets errors with references to dll files, custom made components, even though path is the same and they all point to valid and up to date dll`s. And every time someone else has to work with particular project, he has to remove all references manually and add them up from that same directory in order to bui ...Show All

• ijrr Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. I really like the product and have convinced my manager we should move to it but I can't really do that in good faith if the team is going to lock up frequently.

• ChandraP Rich text box help needed!!

  I'm pretty new to VB2005 Express and I'm trying to make an app with a rich text box and have no idea on how to code the 'save file dialog', the 'open file dialog', the 'font dialog', or the 'print dialog'. I would really appreciate help. you are creating a sub which appears to be wanting to return a string back to the caller but you can't do this as the signature is wrong. to return something back to the caller you need to make a function.... private function FileName as String end function again not entirely sure what you are wanting to do.

• Merie Cockrum Messages From site

  Hi All, Does anyone have anyideas on how to display latest news from a website into a vb.net app basicly I want to keep people updated when a new playlist is availiable etc. ive looked at rss, but dont need loadsa catagories etc. Is it possible to display a txt file on a server for example in an app Hope someone can help, Stuart Sure, debate is good. I just use my SQL server to stop the table from wobbling . Seriously, both approaches have merit: it really depends on some factors such as: how extensive is the updates list, are multiple users going to be updating it, how often, how many downloading, etc. My feeling is, get it working in some way to see how useful it is then if it's proving ...Show All

• Wilhelm Knutsen Data Generation - Schema changes

  Hi, In CTP5, is there a way to refresh a Data Generation plan if I add a new FK constraint directly in the target DB In other words, in the Column Details tab, it currently shows 'integer' for a certain column. I want that to change to 'Foreign Key' to reflect the changes in the target DB. Thanks, JGP Hi JGP Data Generation works off the schema that exists in the project system. Therefore you would need to update the table containing that FK in order for the data generation plan to be updated. In CTP 5 you will need to import the table itself via the import wizard. However in CTP 6 we will allow you to import the update table from target db into the project system via Schema Compare. ...Show All

• Jim Thatcher Adding new window during Checkin-event

  Hi.. I am trying to add a window which selects the reviewer during the checkin event. How do i capture the Checkin- event and how do i start the .exe file that opens up the window Thanks Aravind There is no check-in event on the client. There is a Check-in event on the server. But subscribers of this event will be notified after the check-in is complete (this is a post event) For your case you have to write your own check-in policy.

• Xelestial project creation failed

  I just got a new laptop with Windows XP Media Center edition on it. After getting rid, stopping, uninstalling, etc, all the extra stuff that the OEM fells compelled to install, I downloaded the VC ISO image and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition - I used all the defaults, so I got MSDN and SQL Server Lite as well. However, when I try and create a new project, I get a dialog box that says "The operation could not completed. The specified module could not be found." This occurs regardless of what template I use - General/Empty or CLR/CLR Empty or any other CLR combo. I've tried re-installing several times with no luck.

• pinoyz % CPU usage

  Hi. Hopefully, this is a very quick to answer question. I have a load test and want to measure % CPU used. I can't find which performance counter I can use to do that. I've read in the help files that you can do that, so I think I'm just not looking in the right places. Thank you. The % CPU performance counter is: \Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time In addition... the Processor,%Processor Time,_Total counter is included in almost every predefined counter set in the load test. When the load test is running look under the "Machines" node in the performance counter pane (upper left pane) to find Processors category. Thanks, Rick ...Show All
