• Visual Studio Express Editions copy forms between versions of Visual Express

  Summary: Can we copy forms between versions of Visual Express If someone has a real nice set of forms in Visual Basic Express and I want to use the same basic forms in C#, and I don't want to manually enter all the buttons and boxes and labels and positions, etc, is there a way to import the form into C#. I don't expect to get to be able to use the code, but getting the buttons would be nice. I strongly suspect that the core engines that drive all the Visual Express products are the same, only the syntax and grammar rules differ for the languages. If so, the conversion should be simple. Besides physically copying the controls and layout as Weston describes you can use visual inheritence. This boils down to that you derive a cl ...Show All

• Commerce Server creating catalogs

  I cannot create a catalog for either the CSharp or StarterSite from the CS Catalog Manager on my development server. In Tasks there is no option to create a new catalog and the menu item under File..New is grayed out even though the connection was opened successfully Here's what I did (e.g. for Catalog Service-did same for Orders,Marketing and Profiles). This was not the ideal security scenario but I am just trying to get this product up and running so I can show my boss how it works.

• SQL Server how to configure TCP port for unattended install

  I've looked through every source of material on SQL Server Express unattended installs that I could get my hands on, but so far, I've come up with nothing that shows how to set the server engine's TCP port to 1433 . Since the SQL Server setup is part of a (considerably) larger install, requiring the customer to set this by hand is not really acceptable. Is there a way to do this with a command-line parameter (etc) Thanks in advance Josh No, I meant exactly what I said. For SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, static port 1433 is *not* the default. Its default is to use port numbers randomly assigned at run-time. Josh ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies SharePoint Security - Domain Admin Account

  It has come to my attention recently that the domain admin account has full access to each of our sharepoint site collections. i have verified that it is not set up as a site collection "owner". I went into central admin and confirmed it is not a member of the farm administrators group. However, when i select sign in as another user on a site, and use the admin account, i still have full access to every site collection it seems. currently we are running wss version 3 and sql 2000 on one server. is there another reason this might occur or something else i should check out the only other thing i can think of is the account i setup to use and edit the databases is the domain admin account. but i thought by default the admins grou ...Show All

  Is there way to create an interface where on a splitter bar triangles are placed and click on which expand/collapse left/right or top/bottom panel respectively, as we can do in Java Swing . Or perhaps it may be done somehow else TIA Michael There is not explicit control for that.But you can make your own implemntation.You can make us of a arrow image for showing the arrow icon.The expand and collapse can be implemented by changing the location (X location ofr left/right and Y location Top/Bottom) dynamically inside a loop.If we put some Sleep(),in the loop, a scrolling effect can be enabled ...Show All
