• Visual Studio How can i delete everything from a destination directory?

  Hi folks, i've got a pretty simple MSBuild proj file working. It was a Web Deployment project which i've tweaked slightly to zip up the web site code and then copy the web site code to our development web server. all works fine. What i'm trying to figure out is how can i delete EVERYTHING from the development web site folder before i do a copy over eg. \\DevWebSiteComputer\WebSiteShare That share folder has some files in it and some folders with files in it (eg. \images, \bin, etc). How can all that be deleted, please Hi, The RootDir appears to be a constant. In my case, I need to set the value of a variable that would replace RootDir. Could you tell me how this could be done. Thanks, Mark ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug: Autoplay cancellation fails in Vista

  Our application needs to cancel the Autoplay for USB flash devices in order to update the device firmware and format the media. In XP, the cancellation works fine, but in Vista you have to be logged in as Administrator to be able to reject the Autoplay for MSC devices. Even being a user in the Administrator group doesn't do it; the Autoplay handler is never called. It only works if logged in to the Administrator account. The same issue is present in x64 Vista as well. Our customers do not want their users to have to close the Explorer window or anything else, and are complaining about this. If they don't close it, the app will fail by not being able to lock the drive. Logging in as Administrator is not a good solution to this p ...Show All

  Hi, I am pretty new to Visual Studio, but know enough about SQL. I am working on creating some applications with VB to access my SQL database. I created a listbox that is extracting some data from a table. I am trying to Save that data to a .CSV file, but I am having major issues.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to access a network shared folder with admin privilege when UAC enabled?

  Hello, When 1)UAC is off and 2)a folder is network shared with Administrators read only privilege and 3)share mode is classic - local users authenticate as themselves, it can be accessed from other computer after inputing admin ID/password. But when UAC is on, this access is denied despite correct ID/password input. The error message is " \\mypcname\sharename is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied ." Even when I try to access the shared folder locally, the access is denied. I suppose UAC may change authenticated admin privilege to least privileged account and so this least privileg ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Skins/Themes

  I want my users to be able to customize my program through xaml-files. I've seen that this is possible in WPF in some Login-example(found here[1]).

• Visual C++ WMI + Windows Services?

  Dear everyone, So. I'm quite new to programming and even more so to C++/Visual C++/Windows programming in general. I come from an *nix background, so bear with me. Because I'm really bored, I started playing around with Visual Studio 2005. What I'm trying to do is create a Windows Service that will monitor the CPU and memory usage and send a structrure back to a client when requested. It should be running perpetually, unless the user stops it or the computer shuts down, naturally. Now, I've already created the server as an usual application, and it works perfectly. I'm trying to convert it into a service, as it would be better for my project as a whole. I used the template to create a service (using C++), which is fine. I tweaked the prope ...Show All

• Visual Studio Forcing order of swimlanes

  I have the following situation: A neural network consists of multiple layers (modelled using swimlanes.) There are three types of layers: Input, Hidden and Output layers. I'm basically done with the modelling, but want to restrict the order of these layers in the diagram: The order should always be fixed: Input, 0..n Hidden, Output. E.g. if the user adds more hidden layers, these should be inserted between the last hidden and the output layer. I've managed to arrange NestedChildShapes this way and have looked at the Anchoring, which are both the way I'd like the diagram to appear. However: On screen the newly added hidden layers always appear after the output layer. Any hints what I need to do to change this ordering scheme Thank ...Show All

• Visual C++ TCP/IP Socket stops receiving

  My VC++ program has 3 threads, each establishes a stream socket to a legacy system. The one socket (derived from CAsyncSocket) stops being notified of received data every so often. This sockets receives the most data of any of the 3 but still not a HUGE amount. It works fine on our NT system but the OnReceive notification stops every so often. I do a peek at it and there is data there. My clug now is to peek every second, and if there is data there, process it all. It usually resumes working after that for awhile. Any time the OnReceive callback is notified of data, I Receive & process the data until there is no more data there. Here is my ReceiveMsg code: CMsg* CClntSocket::ReceiveMsg() { #define MAX_TRYS 20 #define BUF_SIZE 819 ...Show All

• Architecture Objects with many child object relations - Need design help!

  Hello, First let me start by saying that I am just getting started with OOP and Domain driven design so please take it easy on me. I am designing a domain model that consists of PROJECT objects that can contain ISSUE objects that can contain other objects like NOTES and ATTACHMENTS. There will be times in which my application will need to populate each PROJECT object along with all related child objects. However, sometimes I just need to get a list of PROJECTS to fill a dropdown or list UI control. In this case I just need some basic PROJECT properties like name and ID. I think it would be too much overhead if I populated all child objects just to fill a list (especially if there are many PROJECTs). Shoud I create 2 separate PROJ ...Show All
