• Visual Basic how to uninstall my own application

  I have a vb.net program that runs invisibly - no task bar, no icon, no VISIBLE form. It can't be shut down by the user outside of the standard windows shutdown. This part works. If the user wants to uninstall this program, they need to open up the application and enter an uninstall code that turns off the program so it can be uninstalled. A tray icon is not an option. QUESTION: If I have a program that is running invisibly, is it possible to click an icon that makes the program become visible Yes, you can make another application that when it is executed (by clicking its icon) it searches for your application and activates it (makes it visible as long as you provide a mehtod for doing so) ...Show All

• SQL Server Can we alter system views in SQL Server 2005?

  Hi, all experts here, Thank you for your kind attention. Would please anyoneh ere give me any advices about if we can alter system views in SQL Server 2005 With best regards, If that is your intent I would suggest that you add extended properties on the table columns. Take a look at this feature at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190243.aspx . or look it up in books online. In short, extended properties let you add a description to any object in the database such as tables, views, schemas, columns etc. e.g. To add an extended property to a column of a table you could do something like sp_addextendedproperty 'property_name','your description','schema','schema_name_of_table','table','table_name','co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Easily Edit Static Tables...

  Ok, I'm making a program that needs a list of links and names and I want it to be held in the program itself, and uneditable by the user. I would like it to be editable in a nicer interface. Is there a way, its using a dataset with one table but in order to add items I need to create Rows for each one. Could I set an xml as a resource and do it that way Yes, an embedded XML resource is a good way to go. Project + Add New Item, select the XML File template. In the Properties window, change Build Action to "Embedded Resource". You can use the built-in IDE XML editor to edit your data. To retrieve the XML data at run-time, use code like this: System.Reflection.Assembly asm = System.Reflection.A ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Cannot display local XML files in emulator

  Using IE in the Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator, I can view XML files over the Web (i.e. via a URL) but not local XML files (i.e. file:\\...) that are on the device's storage card (i.e. a folder on the host machine). Is this a limitation of the emulator, are local XML files displayed properly in actual devices, or I am doing some wrong Nothing. IE is totally blank when I attempt to view a local XML file. Same applies to the WebBrowser component in Visual Studio 2005. When I try viewing an XML file via a URL, both display it fine. ...Show All

• SQL Server Change Dataset on existing reports

  Hi All, I have a set of reports already built. I want to use the same reports using a different dataset(different server). I have tried to add a new datasource and data set, then set the data tab of the report to reflect the new dataset. All seems fine, but when I deploy the report, it is deployed with the new dataset into the new location, but the data displayed is from the original dataset. Any pointers regards I have done what you suggested. Still not working. Odd thing is, if I go to the report properties in the RS website and look at the data sources, both data sources are listed. Let me be clear on what I am looking for here, so I dont waste anyones time. I have 2databases I want to access ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Hi, about class member's access level~~~

  Hi All: I want to create a Rule, the detail is: "Programmer should explicitly declare the class member's access level." For example: A class like: namespace Microsoft.TestFiles { public class BaseTestSample { String a = ""; int tryMethodA() { return 1; } public int tryMethodB() { return 2; } } } the class member a and tryMethodA violates the rule, because they didn't explicitly declare the class member's access level, but tryMethodB, it explicitly declared the access level " public ", so it fulfils the rule. My question is: I had tied to view the IL code to find the access level, but unfortunately, when the pr ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance counters

  Hi, I am trying to figure out how the performance counters work and I'm having some difficulties understanding some of the types. I have a very simple application that creates a counter instance and then I use perfmon.exe to see the values generated by my program. I successfully tried the AverageCount64 type, using the AverageBase. Although I continuously increment the counter I see the average in perfmon, as expected. When I try RateOfCountsPerSecond32 for instance, I increment the counter in the same way, but instead of seeing the rate per second in perfmon, I see the raw value of the counter being displayed. The curve keeps going up as long as my applications is running. Now since RateOfCountsPerSecond32 doesn't have a base typ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Help required for DataGridView and data binding to a SQL server database

  Hi, First of all, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional (C#), SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Since yesterday, I have been looking into databinding as a complete beginner. I am currenty playing with the DataGridView which I have been able to get to connect to one of my many databases and specific tables, but I am unsure how to communicate the data from the DataGridView back to my SQL server database. The only problem is that a lot of topics covered on here are to do with the designers and they do a lot of automatic work for you. My program on the other hand works with hundreds of databases. I select them from lists that I have filled (combo boxes, pick lists etc) and the program does the majority of creating new databases wh ...Show All
