  Hi, I am having this issue while developing a WebBrowserApplication(with full trust) using .Net FX 3.0 June CTP.

• .NET Development .Net framework 2.0 on windows XP Embedded

  I cannot see Windows XP Embedded on the ". NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable Prerequisites ". Is it correct (I hope No!!) Thanks Juul Windows XP Embedded includes a separate component that allows you to install the .NET Framework 2.0. You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=c4837dad-5719-4b63-8752-cb0a65802329&displaylang=en . If you want to install the MSI-based .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows XP Embedded, that will work as well, but you will need to make sure that your XPe image includes the correct set of dependencies to allow installation to work correctly - things like Windows Installer, etc. Thanks!

• Windows Forms Hooking into ClickOnce Application

  Hi, How can we hook into the ClickOnce application. I need to get the information about the control on which user clicks in the winforms application. My code works fine if winforms application is running on my local machine, but my code is not able to hook into the application when it runs using the command line like : "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\applaunch.exe" /activate " http://someurl.com/TestApp/MyWinTestApp.application#MyWinTestApp.application , Version=1.0.0.15, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b42e2150704f23fd, processorArchitecture=msil/MyWinTestApp.exe, Version=1.0.0.15, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b42e2150704f23fd, processorArchitecture=msil, type=win32" Any help would be appreci ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source Code Footer

  I'm looking for a way to automatically add footer information to source files such as author, modification time, comments during check-in. I recall that there was a way to do this in Visual Source Safe. I also recall that there was a way to use symbols or tokens that could be replaced automatically. Is it possible to do this in VSTS Unfortunately, no.

• Visual Studio Team System Enabling C# Test template in VS 2005 Team Edition for Software Artchitects

  Hello, I have VS 2005 Team Edition for Software Artchitects, and when I do New>Project>C#, I do not get the option to create a Test Template. The machine I'm using laready had the software installed when I got it, and I know that other people on the team (with same VS version) have access to this template. How do I enable this feature Thanks, To create a test template, you need either Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Testers, Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers, or the more comprehensive product, Visual Studio Team System. (If you have only Team Edition for Software Architects, test templates should not be available.) To be sure of which of these products you have ...Show All

• Windows Forms Moving an Object from one listbox to another

  Hi Friends, My form has two List boxes and the list boxes name is populated from Object .Variable. Now if the list item is moved from One list box to another, how can i set a flag to mention that the object is also moved. I am facing this problem as the Selected Index is not as same as the Object . To be clear, if the list items are {Name1,Name2,Name3} ( name need not be unique ) which are populated from {Object[2].Name, Object[3].Name, Object[1].Name }. Now if Name3 is moved from List Box1 to List Box2, i may be needing to set a flag to variable like Object .Location = Right List Box . Now the problem is that if i select the SelectedIndex of Name3, it would be 2 and on setting Object[2].Location=" Right List Box ", it might not ...Show All

• SQL Server grouping rows by customer

  my source flat file has many rows per customer, but I need to transfer it to database with only one row per customer and accumulated sales (and probably do other calculations and lookups). I understand how to do stuff with derived columns, but how can I read source file first, calculate, group and then save to database As I understand, the script offers only processing row by row: Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer) Thanks Vlad I tried this, but I do not think it would help :-( it is more complicated calculation, than just grouping. I would rather do it in the script load into a Collection, loop, calculate, replace, substitute etc. and then save to databa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Newbie needs help

• .NET Development Why am I getting OutOfMemory Exceptions???

  This is the second time I have asked this question. I will try to be more specific this time. I have written/deployed a service in C# using VS.NET 2003. This guy is getting OutOfMemory exceptions which I cannot explain. This service does consume (managed) memory from the heap. However, all pointers to the uses of managed memory are held in local variables with my class's methods. I don't have any class level variables (like arrays) which hold pointers to managed memory. So, when these class methods (that consume memory in local variables) go out of scope, then I expect that the memory becomes available for release by the Garbage Collect thread. I have added a call to the GC.Collect() method to manually initiate the Garbage Coll ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need to copy a project

  I need to copy one project including the form and create a new project. I will then make changes to the new project that allow the code to operate on a very similar manner but on a different data base. I don't want to clutter up the original project to make it do both. It would seem that the ability to copy an entire project and put a different name on it would be a simple way to save time and coding efforts. Thanks. It's easy to do with Windows Explorer.

• .NET Development Switching from access to sql server express in vb2005

  Right now im using an access database wich i connect to with oledb in VB2005. Now if in my whole program i want to change the database to sql server, is enough to just use sql instead og oledb (for example sqlcommand instead of oledbcommand, and slqconnetion instead of oledbconnection) Or is there something else you need to be carefull with To my understand, the sql language is almost the same so that shouldnt be a problem..

  Our developers trial period has expired and they're locked out of TFS. Is there anything I can do for today to get them up and running until I can test the upgrade Thanks, JT We've had enough people hit this problem that we have invested in a solution to get people unblocked. We'll be rolling it out shortly. It enables people to get one 30 day extension of trial so they can unblock themselves in the event they are in the process of purchasing TFS when their trial expires.
