  Hello everyone, I have VS2005 Team edition with SP1 and SQL 2000 with SP4.

• Smart Device Development Serial Port problems

  Hi. Running Imate SP5m with .NET CF 2.0 SP1 I have contacted Imate (on the side: poor support) who confirm that Raw/Serial IR access is possible and is on COM3. In the registry it says COM4. Anyway... If I use the serial Port class to open COM4 and write to it, I have the issue where when we do a serialport.write("hi");, the application does nothing. it just hangs, no exceptions are thrown. It does not even get to serialPort.Close(); If I use the serial Port class to open COM3 and then write to it, I get an exception @ serialPort.Write("hi");: at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.WinIOError() at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.Write() at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Write() at SerialIrTests.Form1.mnuStart_Click() at System.Windows.F ...Show All

• Windows Forms Column header painting - text margins

  Hi, By default, there seem to be 6 pixels between the column divider and the first letter of a column header. I'm trying to reproduce the exact look & feel of another application, which has 3 pixels in its grid headers. So I need 3 pixels, (left and right), not 6. Is there an easy way of setting this I looked at the FAQ, which had a section on "Row Pre Paint and Post Paint". I'm not familiar with GDI painting, is there any simple code I can use to get this effect I don't really have time to try myself at the moment... Thanks! Thanks Ye, I adapted your code to handle text overflows (the text in the headers may vary and not fit in the header). Made a custom class, header column height... It looks how I wanted! pub ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to start process in session before user logs on?

  I have a need to start a process in a session before the user logons on. On XP I used a Windows Logon Notification Package to do this. When a new session was created, Winlogon.exe in that new session called my WLNP and it was able to start the process before the user logged on. The process is used to support smart card logons for that session. I'm trying to find out how to do something similar on Vista. I know logon notification packages are no longer supported. I know how to write a service to get session creation notification, but I don't know how to start a process in the new session before the user logs on. Is there a function I can use to start a process in another session If so, I could have my session tracking sevice start th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Writing byte arrays back to a VB app

  Hi Guys, I'm trying to create a C++ dll that will take a byte array from a VB app and return the results into another byte array. I'm having no problems in reading the byte array and processing the data. However I am at a total loss as to how to get the temp_buffer data back to the VB app I have verified that temp_data contains the expected results by outputing the data to a result file, however no matter what I try, the odata array remains empty in VB. I've included some sample code to show how im declaring everthing, does anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong int __stdcall encode(unsigned char *inputdata, const int ilen, unsigned char **outputdata, int *olen) { unsigned char *temp_buffer; int temp_len; ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2.0 loaded 1.1 needed

  On a new system I loaded Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, now some of my applications need Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Of which I can not load, even after unloading 2.0. Using XP Pro SP2. Any Suggestions Ordinarily a .NET application will try to run by the same framework version as it was compiled for (provided no overrides exist) and it is strange that installing the 2.0 Framework caused your 1.1 apps to try to run in 2.0 and stop working. Have you tried reinstalling/repairing the 1.1 Framework Also worth noting is that when you have multiple versions of the framework installed and you absolutely want to have control over the framework that your app runs in (provided it is installed) you can modify the apps config fi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Accessing the value of a a DataRowView from a ListBox (How)?

  I'm trying to use a form with a ListBox to select from and populate another ListBox depending upon the selection in the first. The first is populated by a query to a project resident .mdb file. I'm running into a problem when it comes to figuring out the value of the item selected in the ListBox. I can see that the object selected upon the firing of the SelectedIndexChanged event is of type System.Data.DataRowView, but try as I may, I cannot figure out how to get access to the actual values ( strings " Core" and "Special" in this case). Am I missing a necessary cast somewhere, or is it just a property or method that I missed Am I trying to use something entirely wrong for the situation Any help would be greatly apprec ...Show All
