• Windows Live Developer Forums Pushpin Onclick Event?

  Hi has anyone managed to handle the on click event of a push pin yet because i cant find any events for such a thing You can tell something happens because (in IE at least) you can hear the normal "tick" noise just like when you click a link, when you click on a pushpin, I need to be able to handle this even so I can action the users click on the pushpin teh best way to handel that is to place an invisible div over the pushpin that has been clicked on, this div can have its own onmouseout event which will work jsut the same. ...Show All

• Visual C# Read binary, convert to hex

  Ok, i have an executable that i want to be able to edit the hex values of, but i can't find anything that will read the hex from the file... I was wondering if it might work if i did a regular BinaryRead and just converted whatever it read from binary to hex, then edited that and converted it back to binary and do a BinaryWrite. Would that work the same as if i had directly edited the hex I'm pretty new to this, but im just trying to basically end up with 1. Read the hex of the file. 2. Change it according to what the user enters. 3. Write it back to the file. thanks a lot! Ok, thanks alot so far, you've answered my main question, and i've gotten alot further. I've gotten to the point where i've read the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CreateFile on PDA filesystem?

  How can I find the string to call to get a device handle on a PDA either from a PC or from inside the PDA itself In general use in .Net on a PC you can call CreateFile to get a device handle on a HardDisk by feeding it something like " \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2 ". However, this does not seem to be the case on a PDA. I am trying to either A. gain access to the PDA as a USB device when the PDA is in the cradle, or B. get access to the device with a .Net compact application. Either way will do, but I am stumped as to how to find or lookup the string to access a create a handle. Thanks in advance Jeff Well the what i tried was "DSK#" 0-9 and "DSK#:" 0-9, ive tried grabbing a handle on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office HELP:Installing VSTO on Windows Vista with MS Office 2007 installed?

  The subject says it all, I am trying to install my VSTO Original Edition, I have Visual Studio 2005 Std. Edition installed, and that is not where the problem lies. I received the following error message: Office 2003 SP1 is not present; and the only thing I can do is exit the install. Then I had the bright idea to try VSTO 2nd Edition, but of course if you do not have VSTO installed, the minimum Visual Studio version is Professional, and as I stated above I only have the standard edition. Is there any work around, without say installing MS Office 2003, installing VSTO, and removing or upgrading Office or buying VS 2005 Pro. If anyone has an idea I would love to hear about it. Thanks, David Baker   Harry, Thank ...Show All

• .NET Development Consuming .NET Remoting Objects From COM Client

  Hi All! I have a peculiar situation where I must consume a set of remote managed objects (written in Fx 1.1) from a COM client (written in VB 6). In order to accomplish this, this is what I thought of: A managed interface library ( Interfaces.dll ) to be used by both the remotable objects as well as the COM client. This library is also used to create a .tlb which is registered on the client for use by the VB/COM client. (I had to customize the tlb created by TLBEXP, since it was not correctly converting multiple levels of interface inheritance.) A managed concrete class library ( CoClasses.dll ) that contains the implementation of the interfaces. This class is also registered as a COM class and contains all the classes that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Drilldown comboboxes

  Hi, Please can someone point me to a C#2005e solution for access-style cascading comboboxes where users drilldown their selection to find what they want. eg: Combo1 : Country -> Combo2: State -> Combo3: City An example is found here : http://www.candace-tripp.com/download/2table_cascadecombo2k.zip or http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/DrillDown.asp Thanks ! OK, I did not understand the difference between display member and value member. So I set the display member as Country and value member as CountryID. So cmbCountry.SelectedValue.ToString() will contain the countryID. Now I get it. I will keep trying and post back. Thanks for your patience. I am still having strange ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Vista?

  I have been spectacularly unsuccessful in getting an add-in to work in Vista. I tried a managed shared add-in created in VS 2003 or VS 2005, with the ominous "failed to load at startup" message in the COM add-in dialog. Then I tried a VSTO (VS 2005) add-in with the message that the manifest failed to load at startup... All three add-ins just worked fine in XP. How do I get any managed add-in to work in Vista Or is Vista not supported for add-ins Thanks, Patrick .NET add-ins for Office 2007 B2TR will only run under Vista RC1. Later Vista builds will only give you crashes. Patrick ...Show All
