• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Forms Auto Complete Stopped Working

  I’ve deleted by mistake the registry key: Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/IntelliForms/Storage1 As a result, IE7 Auto-Complete stopped working. I tried to fix the problem by recreate the deleted keys under IntelliForms: Create new Key: Storage1 Create new empty Value: C6FB044EC2BD401521D6B1082276415638196D8004 It didn’t work for me. How can cause IE7 to renew the Auto-Complete mechanism I had the exact same problem with passwords and user-names refusing to be remembered by the IE7 supplied with Vista. The only solution I found was to creat a new Account and copy the account settings over from old to new. Something like this:- ...Show All

• .NET Development Regex behavior

  I have the following regular expression: <%( <one>.+)%>(<%( <two>.+)%>) I apply it to the following: “<%this is one%><%this is two%>” After running the regex, one contains “this is one%><%this is two” and two contains nothing. Without the “ ” at the end, one contains “this is one” and two contains “this is two”. If I use the “ ” at the end and run the match from right to left one contains “this is one” and two contains “this is two”. This is what I expect. I do not understand why using “ ” at the end causes the match to skip the first “%>” and go to the ending “%>”, especially if it works without the “ ” and with a right ...Show All

• .NET Development Multiple elements in a configuration section

• Visual Studio Sandcastle - MRefBuilder and .NET 3.0

  How should I go about documenting stuff using .NET 3.0 framework I tried changing the mrefbuilder.exe.config appropriately (both using Sandcastle Help File Builder and manually) but I keep getting "Unknown target platform '3.0'" If I set it to 2.0.50727 then it "works" but links to 3.0 specific things are obviously missing Is this a known issue Either way, can this be fixed as 3.0 now is officially released regards, Simon Anand, Thanks for the reply and offer of help...

• Visual Basic registering filetypes to an app

  Hello, I'd like to know how to register filetypes to my application. It is a picture viewer program, and i'd like to register eg jpg files to it through an option in my program. the main problem is how to register the filetype. could anyone help thnx Hi Slyke, To do what your asking your program needs to have a main method, the main method is the first method to get called in all applications, VB hides it from you. You will need to create one. The main method is passed an array of strings that define the arguments used to open the application. You need to check the length and value of the arguments and process the applications parameters depending on what your looking to do. Here's an example... Public Modul ...Show All

• .NET Development Single time authentication while accessing different webmethods in a webservice

  Hi, I have to implement user authentication while using webservices. Sometime back i came to know that once yu get authenticated as a valid client of teh webservice, next time whne you access any webmethod of that webservice, you need not to send the username and password for authentication.Instead there is a way to save a flag in the soap header which is set by webservice after first successful webmethod invoing saying that user is authneticated. I read many articles about this on internet but none of those was runnable. Can somebody please provide me the fundamentals as to how it is implemented, where webservice keeps the flag in its own memory for checking with coming request etc. Also i need a runnable code for the same. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trouble installing the December MSDN Library

  I received the latest MSDN DVD distribution the other day. The package included the December 2006 version of the MSDN Subscriptions Library. When I try to install this updated version of the library my XP/SP2 system totally hangs trying to do something on/with the DVD. If I put the DVD in a system that does not have VS 2005 installed and does not have any previous version of the library installed I can read the DVD without any problems. My question is has anyone else seen this problem with the December library If so, have you found any workarounds other than to stay with the previous library version Thanks Neil I am having the exact same problem with the exact same DVD.

• Visual Basic Hard disk serial No

  Hi, how to get hard disk serial no in VB.NET 2003 . Under windows there are two different serial numbers that exist for a hard drive... one is the actual physical serial number (which doesn't always exist) while the other is one assigned to the volume by windows at the time the drive is created. When it comes to getting the Windows one, there are t wo main ways to do so... one is to Pinvoke GetVolumeInformation otherwise you can use WMI. In the case of the low level serial number... libraries like DiskId32 as described here . ...Show All
