• UtterMan Can Deployment Project Automatically increment build #?

  Is there a way to increment the setup version (Product Code is recommended also) automatically with each deplyment project build I've found that this is the only way RemovePreviousVersion will work. Of course, there's probably a way to edit the .vdproj file using a script during the nightly build. I'm looking for something more built into VS. Any comments are welcome. Thanks, Dave One solution.. Call the script to update the .vdproj file from a Post-Build Event on the EXE project that is packaged into the Deployment Project. I'm about to write that script. Hello, May you have already written this script Or perhaps may you direct me where I could learn to write it myself B ...Show All

• dougknows add 2 DataTables into 1 DataGrid

  hi, I have 2 dataadapters that fills 2 datatables i want to show them both in 1 datagrid How do i do it How do I do it I think detail steps to combine two tables depend on the logic how you want to combine them. If you just want to create a new table with all columns in those original two tables, use following code for example DataTable dt = new DataTable(); foreach (DataColumn column in northwindDataSet.Customers.Columns) dt.Columns.Add( new DataColumn(column.ColumnName,column.DataType,column.Expression)); foreach (DataColumn column in northwindDataSet.Employees.Columns) { if (dt.Columns.Contains(column.ColumnNam ...Show All

• Dvlnblk How to check weather .net framework installed in a system or not

  How tocheck weather .net framework and MSDE engine is installed in a system or not through c# Do you want to do it manually, programmatically from your own app or from an installer Offcourse through my c# program. there isnt a way from a .NET developed application...since it needs the framework to run the application anyway. you would have to use another language perhaps to do this check, or you can create a setup and deployment project in visual studio which will allow you to configure what prerequisites/conditions it should have on the system in order to install your app. the .NET Framework is installed automatically if it does not have it on the sy ...Show All

• Avi_harush "Foreign" msi files in a Setup project

  Hi there: Quick question: my application uses SMO, and I need to install that on the user's machine. I got the download from Microsoft in the form of a .msi file (the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=d09c1d60-a13c-4479-9b91-9e8b9d835cdc&displaylang=en ) . Is there any way for me to incorporate that msi file into my setup project I tried going through the prerequisites (I already have .Net 2.0 and Sql Server Express in there), but it is not dynamic enough to allow that. I could try and package the SMO assemblies one by one (the dlls were already added as dependencies), I'm just not sure how to force them to be installed in the correc ...Show All

• juergen.b Closing original Form

  If I have a startup form that allows the user to open other forms is there a way to close that original form or hide it until the user needs it again Thanks Thomas Changing the Shutdown Mode is what allows you to close the startup form without exiting the Application. To get a reference back to the main form, you can simply use the Forms collection in the My namespace: e.g. My.Forms.Form1.Show i wouldn't try to hide the main form. i do something similar to what you are looking for here from Program.cs/Main. instead of opening up forms from the main form, i open all forms from Program.cs. the initial form which decides which other form will run closes normally, but can be queried f ...Show All

• Jonathan Hart Making a scrollable panel scroll with mousewheel just by hovering mouse

  Hi, I have a particular problem with a possible solution and I am interested in hearing peoples opinions if it is the right way to go about it (or not  ) Some applications I have come across, such as Firefox, will allow the user to scroll the document window just by hovering the mouse over the display area and using the mouse wheel. You don't have to focus / select the display area first. With Firefox, the address bar can have the focus and the keyboard input but you can still scroll the document. Contrasting with IE and Visual Studio, you have to click into the document area before it responds to mouse wheel messages. In my winforms app, I have a tab control with several scrollable tabpages as well as scrollable panels in ...Show All

• Dennis Lackmeyer How do I display a PDF file in a VC++ .NET Windows Form application?

  The subject says it all! I have used the Choose Toolbox Items to add the Adobe Acrobat Control for Active X to the ToolBox and then dragged it onto the form. It works, but even though I have the very latest Adobe Acrobat 7.07 Reader Installed, the pdf.ocx control is only version 5.05. I checked in the ActiveX directory of my Adobe\Acrobat 7.0 installation and there was no pdf.ocx there. Also on Adobe's Web site, all their info. on pdf.ocx only mentions the 5.05 version. Is there a better way to display PDF files other than the pdf.ocx ActiveX control I had considered using the native .NET WebBrowser control and relying on the Adobe PDF browser plugin, but that seems a lot of overhead when I don't need a browser, only a PDF reade ...Show All
