• Software Development for Windows Vista where is CEAppMgr.exe? - Unable to Install Windows Mobile Software on Vista

  I purchased some third party software for my Motorla Q Smart Phone. When I try to install the PC portion of it on my Vista RTM Toshiba Tecra M5, I receive an error dialog indicated that the setup program cannot find CEAppMgr.exe. Any ideas how to correct this Thanks, -Howard Hey Howard, There are a few things you can try on your own to make this software work on Vista. First make sure during the installation that you are prompted for administrator elevation. If you are not prompted for admin, right click and select "Run As Admin". If the installation is not a .msi file, but an exe then you can attempt to make it run under xp compatibility mode. To do this: right click and go to properties. On the compatibility ta ...Show All

• Visual C# Clipboard.GetImage() returns null on large images

  I've been using the clipboard to retrieve images for a while, works fine. But now I tried copying a large JPEG image from my browser (around 3meg) and suddenly the clipboard.getimage() or clipboard.getdata(dataformats.bitmap) returns null! i can still retrieve smaller images. what's going on here Thanks Johan Hi, swemaniac The object must be serializable for it to be put on the Clipboard. If you pass a non-serializable object to a Clipboard method, the method will fail without throwing an exception. See Serialization for more information on serialization. If your target application requires a very specific data format, the headers added to the data in the serialization process may prevent the application from recognizing ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Possible to aggregate results in a one-to-many way across TFS projects?

  I have a general question regarding management of multiple TFS projects. I've been working with TFS to get acquainted prior to the kickoff of a new project at my company. The project will be large with many facets. I would like to organize several TFS projects to support several subsystems, and a single "master" project to provide reporting for all subsystem projects.... Best practices state that it is preferable to have a single (or fewer) TFS projects rather than many. On the other hand, I can see how having several projects would be of benefit: * You could logically limit scope and security for a subsystem, while having the benefits of a separate portal and repository for developers * You could have work items managed at ...Show All

• Visual Studio Exception message for the enduser?

  Hi, me again ;-) Whenever an exception is thrown GAT shows an exception dialog with detailed technical information and offers to unload the whole package. However in certain situations I would like to show a more "end user aware" messagebox. For example if I create a new project item, TFS asks to check the project file out and say the user says no. In this case I would like to abort the processing, roling back all previous actions, but remain otherwise silent (currently the user has to deal with a COMException). If I create a new file and this fails because the file already exists I would like to show a simple message box rather than the exception dialog. You get the idea. Any idea how to accomplish that I still need to throw a ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView CalendarColumn example doesn't handle keyboard input

  Hey all- I have a DataGridView in which I wanted to host a DateTimePicker, so I used the example from: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx Has anyone gotten this example working properly for keyboard input It works great when you use the mouse, but under certain circumstances the value from the editing control doesn't get back into the datagridview. To reproduce: Enter the date cell with the mouse Type a new month with the numeric keys only Hit Tab or enter to leave the cell. Now, the above works fine if you leave the editing control with the mouse, or if you use the up/down arrow keys to change the month value. I did some debugging in the editing control, and it appears that if the fo ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 issue with Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS

  Hi, I've a web application developed in ASP.NET which is hosted in a Windows 2000 server with only Integrated Windows Authentication enabled. This is to make use of Active Directory Services. Now, everything works fine with IE6. But in IE7, I get the Page Not found message. When I checked the headers, I saw the status as 401.1 which, if I am correct, basically is because of some Permission issues. Why do I get this if I use IE7 This above issue is with my Production server. Now, having said that, I've a test server which is also Windows 2000 on which everything works well. I just dont have a clue as to where the problem is with my Production server. Please help me on this ASAP as I am getting a lot of calls from my clients regar ...Show All

• Windows Forms Master Details with GridView

  Hi, I was wondering if there is some easy way to implement master details with a GridView which looks like a tree structure, let's say with only two levels. I mean having a grid with rows and each row can be expanded so that some details appear under it. And these details are contained in a GridView so that they can be edited easily. I think there is no such ready functionality coming with ASP.NET but still does anyone know something like that Regards, Anton http://www.denisbauer.com/ASPNETControls/HierarGrid.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/10/CuttingEdge/default.aspx http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/Tutorial/841522C9-FFBD-4C57-BD48-F62B55057FF3.dcik http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ ...Show All

  Does C# Have The Power Of C++, Or C++ Still The Best I Am Talking From 3D Application Side Hassan Ayoub wrote: So, I Can Use C# As My Mail Language, And C++ As The Hidden Language Again this Depends on the requirement that what kinda software you want to develop if 3D Applications then C# will provide you a fast track with the same power. In this Situation C# is the best. As I mentioned in my last post that C++ has a very limited use now a days which is Low level, like Firewall, Antiviruses, Secure Delete Software, Encryption etc. I hope It will help you to have a choice out of 2 languages, Cheers ;-) ...Show All

• .NET Development Going through every element on a page

  Hi, I have elements dynamically created on a Web page (using ASP.NET). Some of them have a special attribute set. On the page load, I'd like to scan through all the elements on my page and if the attribute exists and is set, do some action on that element. All this in JavaScript. There must be a way to do this recursively right Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Skip. I think that the .NET "Controls" array is just what you are looking for. In ASP .NET the "Page" object contains a property called "Controls". It is an array that contains all of the controls on the Page. You can find all of the controls on the page by writing a program that loops through the Pa ...Show All

• Visual C++ windows.h not found...

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work and would raise the flag to the appropriate people so they can take the steps to fix it for their users.  Or at least document it on the very first page where it is downloaded, or the very first page of the documentation.  A user shouldn't have to hit forums to find out how to make a product ...Show All
