• Windows Forms problems with the webBrowser control and focus

  Hi, I have a form which consists of a webBrowser control (over the whole form) and a listBox and a button, but those 2 are hidden on start. I'm using them for debugging and I want to toggle their visibility with a keyboard shortcut (alt+ctrl+X in my case). So I'm using the keyDown event of the form and keyPreview is set to true. Everything works as intended until I click somewhere into the webBrowser control (i.e. it gains the focus). I've tried alot of things, like using the gotFocus event on the webBrowser and then using this.Focus() to give the focus back to the form, but nothing work. It seems like the webBrowser control doesn't want to give the focus back.. I already did alot of googleing and also searched here but I haven't found any ...Show All

• SQL Server Stuck between "Failed to generate user instance" and "An attempt to attach...failed"

  I wrote an application using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 which uses a SQL Express .mdf file, included in the project, for the database.  After installing Visual Studio 2005 RC and the SQL Express that comes with it (I followed all of the uninstall instructions first) I can no longer add a SQL Express database to any of my projects, nor can I open the SQL Express database in my original project.  When I try either of these tasks, I get the "Failed to generate user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance.  The connection will be closed."  I read the thread which dealt with this error, and changed the connection string for the database file that had worked before to User Instance ...Show All

  Hi, Our team was trying to use the IPrintCoreHelper Interface in our filter pipeline code. Our code is unidriver based.We tried to use it in the similar way as shown in the SimplePipelineFilter example in WDK6000.

Also we noticed that there does not exist any symbolic name for IPrintCoreHelper property in the Print Pipeline PropertyBag and the GetProperty method passed it as a string.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Treeview and Imagelist Problem

  I am trying to use a treeview and imagelist. I added 3 images to the imagelist. I have set the treeview's imagelist property to the imagelist I added to the form.
