• Windows Forms Using an icon for the assembly file AND the form

  Hello, when I want to add an icon to my application, I need to set it as the assembly icon in the project properties and then again in the form where it should appear. If I only set it in the project, the .exe file has the icon displayed in Explorer and the application's taskbar item also shows the icon, but when switching tasks with Alt+Tab, it's missing; not sure about the form title bar itself right now. When I only set the icon for the form, then it's displayed everywhere but not with the .exe file itself. So, to get this icon everywhere, I need to insert it twice, resulting in the double filesize, regarding the icon size. I've tried to use a resource file, but I couldn't add one to my project settings because the Designer only lets me ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ 2005 redistributable

  Hi, I'm trying to get an MFC application compiled with VC++ 2005 to run on a machine with VC++ 2005 express. There seems to be a problem with the manifest (which I don't fully understand despite reading the info on msdn). The original error in the event log when I tried to run it said Microsoft.VC80.CRT not installed so I installed the platform SDK and also copied over the atlmfc directory from the development to target machine. I also downloaded the VC++ 2005 redistributable and installed it. When I installed it, I didn't get any confirmation that the installation was successful, the installer appears to quit after displaying the progress bar. Is this the correct behaviour Now I no longer get any messages in the event log but when I try ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio express C++ forms controm template

    Hello, I'm trying to make a new forms control project but the template is missing in the new project screen. Maybe it's normal but I don't know, so I'm looking for an answer.

• .NET Development MSHTML DOM node -> MSXML Document

  Hi list! I'm working in Javascript on a page with a well-formed HTML table. The page is foo.html. I can do var node = document.getElementById( 'tableid'); which returns the MSHTML DOM node. However, now I want to perform XSLT on this node's html. Problems I'm having: 1) innerHTML returns (as we all know) not-well-formed code that I cannot load into an empty MSXML document (loadXML complains about the lack of quotes/form). 2) importNode from MSHTML DOM to MSXML DOM gives Type mismatch. 3) Looping across the entire element's DOM tree and reconstructing a well formed xml string "works" but it's really slow. 4) I could uplaod innerHTML to a web service running W3C tidy, but that requires a server request, and I don't want to require ...Show All

• SQL Server Identifying a table update / insert / delete

  How to find out that a table has changed. For example if a table has 50K rows, and if any update, insert, or delete was made it should be captured without using any trigger. Is it possible to get such information from any of the system table or DMVs This will not help, b'coz it also means that the sps that uses the existing tables should be modified. Someone pointed out that there is an existing system table where the updates, insert, delete row count are maintained. Is there any such info that is available with SQL 2005 ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using the Visual Studio buttons

  Hi guys I have been working on a project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Pro and now that its complete i wanted to optimize its looks but when i compiled the project and started my project.exe file all the buttons on it looked like those in visual c++(you know, those grey ones) although they should be white in color.(like those in Visual Studio 2005) Is there any way to use the visual studio 2005 pro buttons Thanks ah thanks for the replies guys but thats not exactly what i meant.

• .NET Development XML Validation Bug .NET 2.0

  Hello, In my recent experience with .NET 2.0 i faced a bug in of xml validation in .NET 2.0. I created a xsd that contains an simple element (of type xsd:int ) in one of its complex type, I passed few invalid alphabets and try to validate it, and it gets validate w/o any problem, Although the same xml file I passed to XmlSpy 2004, it threw validation exception. I know there in no problem in my code because the same thing worked for xsd:datetime type, when i passed invalid characters it threw exception (event ValidationEventHandler raised). here is my code string schemaloc = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SchemaAgentRegistration"]; string targetNS = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AgentTargetNS"]; agent.getDO ...Show All

• Visual Basic LEFT string function

  This is how you would use the LEFT function in VB6 ... str1=LEFT("This is a typical string",4) Can you still use the LEFT string function in Visual Basic 2005 I can't seem to get it to work. Hi, Terry,   MS.VB is essentially already imported, as is the System.Windows.Forms namespace.  Consequently, adding an import won't help you here -- they're just two imported namespaces which happen to have conflicting members (as might happen with any arbitrary imported namespaces).  However, you can set up an alias like: Imports VB = Microsoft.VisualBasic and then the call would be VB.Left, which is a lot easier to type.  (You can substitute whatever you like for "VB" ...Show All

• .NET Development I'm fairly certain I'm losing my mind....

  For the past 3 days, I've been spilling my brains all over my keyboard in an effort to do something that should be ridiculously simple.... What's really driving me crazy is the fact that I've done it before... Here it is: I have a datatable in MS Access. In an effort to copy all of it's records to a table in SQL that I can access and better manipulate, I created an SQL Database in my Visual Basic program and made a comparable SQL Table. I gave all the columns identical names and comparable data values as the columns in the Access table. Now, I just want to copy the records from the Access table directly into the new SQL table. Here's the catch. I'm doing all of this through the DESIGN interface because the last line of ...Show All

• Visual C# SQl server authentication issue in C#

  Hi Guys, I have a tool written in C# which connects to a remote SQl server 2005. Its working fine while I use "Integrated Security". However, I want to login the database using another credential instead of using the currently credentials associated with the tool. The reason for this was because not all the users using this tool have permission to access the database. So, I need sort of impersonation to allow any user using this tool to connect to the database. Is there any simple and efficnet way to do this Thanks.
