• Visual C# Using Visual C# code in Visual Web Developer Express Edition

  for aspx development, I'm using Visual Web Developer Express Edition. Is there any way to share classes that I develop in Visual C# in Web Developer I know I can copy *.cs files to the "App_Code" folder, but I would prefer to have them both using the same file ( a la "add as link" ). Also, when I *do* copy classes to the "App_Code" folder, the web site runs fine in the Web Developer IDE, but if I try to navigate to it in my browser, I get an error message saying it doesn't recognize the class. ( This is more of a Web Developer question, I grant you, but since I'm on the subject, I hope its alright to ask... ) Thanks for any help, Kirk Lets say I've Declared MyClass in MyNamespace a ...Show All

  Hello, I have created a web browser and just having 1 problem. I have set my browser up in the registry as the default browser and that works great. You click on a link on your desktop or wherever on your computer and it opens up myBrowser not IE, but my problem is that when it opens up myBrowser it just loads the homepage and no the webpage of the link/shortcut that the user clicked, so somewhere in my code, it is not accepting the webpage url request from the computer.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Windows Live Contacts Control beta v0.2 Released

  Hi, Danny! I want to use "Windows Live Contacts" service in my desktop application - birthday reminder, that is written on VB.NET ( http://yurivolkov.com/yvReminder/index_en.html ). So I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to implement this, using your work (Control itself or its source code... by the way, source code is not commented and looks like obfuscated...) What's your advice about how to do this -- Yuri Hi, Danny, I had no time to hack your code, so currently I stumbled over the restriction, that HTML files, working with "Windows Live Contacts control" have to be hosted in the Internet. But I'm developing "client application", and not "server application", so in order to use ...Show All

• SQL Server Should I use indexes?

  I have a very large table (about 200,000 records), but there are only 2 fields in the table only one populated with data. I need to update the 2nd field with the first field's data. UPDATE Table1 SET field2 = field1 This is taking a really long time to run about 3.5 minutes. Is this normal Can I create an index What can I do to shorten the run time Thanks, Ninel 3.5 minutes is pretty much OK for 200 000 row update. as NNTP told, indexes will not help here. Let me add that they if you had an index on the table the update would take longer, because, beside updating the rows, server [maybe] had to update index structure also. ...Show All
