• Visual Studio Duplicating a Project in VSS

  I searched for ppl with similar objectives, and I found this one post that had a similar issue, but I'm not really sure what to think of it. In my situation, there is a VS .NET 2003 project stored away in VSS; this accesses dB's that I otherwise also have access to. I would like to upgrade the project to be used with VS 2005. However, I require the following constraints: 1. I need the original project preserved in unaltered form. I also require that to remain the primary version, and the version that other ppl will edit. 2. I need a local copy of an upgraded project -- a copy that I can work on by myself. How do I do this Thanks for any help! - Jason "DiZASTiX" Hi Jason, Wha ...Show All

• .NET Development MMC 3.0 and icons for Nodes

  I'm looking for ways to add icons to a MMC 3.0 snapin. I've noticed that the Node objects have a ImageIndex property, but I haven't been able to find info/docs on how to tie icons to these nodes. In winforms, I just add an imagelist then tie it to the control that needs the images. I haven't found anything like that for MMC 3.0. Has anybody done this yet Thanks! Hector It's LargeImages instead of BigImage there is a Color.Transparent but transparentColor doesn't do much for me. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development SendKeys() and the HTML File Upload widget in IE7

  My company has an ActiveX control which we use in a web application to keep track of some temporary files created on the user's manchine. When the user makes changes, we allow them to upload the changes "automatically" by using SendKeys() to fill in the current location of the temporary file into an HTML file upload control and then submitting the form. In IE7, sometimes the file path which we pass to SendKeys() is missing some characters when it arrives in the file upload control. The behavior appears on some machines but not others, and which character(s) are missing also varies. I have seen some comments online to the effect that SendKeys() is no longer reliable in IE7 (and possibly in Vista as well). Is this the case Is ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums local.live.com Interface

  Does anyone know of any resources to build an interface within VE similar to the local.live.com interface The site has a full screen VE control with menu panels that collapse / expand, icons linked to menu panes, links to routes etc. I really like the it and can see the logical step with custom VE applications is to move to this style of interface. Is the interface code for local.live.com available John.

• SQL Server Failed in installatio, ERROR:29503

  Hi, Folks My story is a bit of similar to some of the fellows. During the default installation, it failed at the last section which is "SQL server database service" because it cannot start the SQL service. The difference of my story is this is not the first time I install it on my computer or any upgrade from whatever other version. I'd installed it for a couple of weeks working perfectly before my computer seemingly infected by an adware. Since then SQL Server stopped working, then I decided to re-install it after I had the adware removed. So it shouldn't be the limitation of either CPU or memory, I think. I hope I could get an answer to it before I have to re-install the whole OS, PAINFULLY. OMG ...Show All
