• .NET Development Windows App from .Net 1.1 to 2.0

  I recently installed VS 2005. I converted my 1.1 windows app to 2.0. It debugs fine on my machine (no errors). The release runs fine on host machines with 2.0 (and 1.1) but it crashes on machines w/o 1.1 installed. The release runs fine on my machine even after I've uninstalled 1.1. I don't know what the difference could be. The debug report on the host machines contains no useful info to me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. It's one of those send error report prompts so I can't copy the details of it. Below is all I'm able to give you...

• Visual Basic Intellisense description in VB.NET 2.0 - does it exist, and how?

  Just wondering if VB.NET 2.0 has the same functionality as C# in the idea of intellisense descriptions. What I mean is, if you hit the period key, and the list pops up, you choose/hover over a property, method, etc - and it gives you a nice detailed description of the method, and it's parameters. Now is it possible to do that in VB.NET And how. Thanks! Umm, it works the same way, comment above the proc. Here's another MSDN library article that makes that clearer. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Invisible Window

  Hi guys, I want to have an invisible window so it can exist in the foreground or background and not effect any other windows. Basically all it will do is handle global key events (a hotkey most likely) if and when they happen. If it can then become invisble, that's a bonus, but it's not a huge deal. There has to be a way to make an invisible window, but I've tried CreateWindow with so many different types of windows and had no luck. Could it simply be a matter of not doing anything with WM_PAINT events Would that let the window exist and receive events invisibly Cheers, Dan. I added a message loop, even though everything I've read says message loops HAVE to have a window to use them. It did t ...Show All

• Visual C# looking for somewhat simplified tutorial on marshalling

  greets. im in the process of trying to marshal a large C struct to a managed version for some interop. while im finding some references, some i parts i cant find. the main problem is finding a way to marshal a bit field in a struct into something similar in a managed version of this struct. from what ive seen, i need to create an enum on the managed side witht he Flags attribute and then set the values based on the bitfield is this the best way to accomplish this. better yet, lets say i have a struct with the following: struct myOpts { int n_val1; int n_val2; char s_mystring[15]; struct _otherOpts { int n_other; int n_other2; } otherOpts; char s_array[5][10]; struct _myBits { in ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Excel user form to select a favourite file

  I am trying to use a custom form for the first time and would like to select an excel file from the normal "File _ Save As..." window and once selected, save the path and filename into cell A1 of a spreadsheet called "My Toobar.xls". This will then allow the user to open this "favourite" file very quickly. Can anyone help me get this Windows "File _ Save As..." browser window embedded into a UserForm. Many thanks, Paul I'm sure Derek meant the GetSaveAsFilename ;) application.GetSaveAsFilename Both these methods just collect a filename and do not actually save or open anything. You would still need to use the .SaveAs method of the workbook. ...Show All
