• Visual Studio How do I delete a debug project from VS 2005's Start Page ?

  I know how to make a VS 2005 project disappear from the Start Page. I, simply, delete the project's files and that's it. I recently debugged a svchost app. Now it shows up in the Start Page, but I don't want it there. How do I remove a debug project from the Start Page I was told, in this thread : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=300505&SiteID=1 that "There should be a .sln file somewhere on disk. If you delete that file, then click on the item in the start page it will ask if you wish to remove that item." Indeed, there was a .sln file...*and* a .suo file in \Windows\system32. But, after deleting both the .suo and the .sln files, when I click the svchost project in the Start Page Project List, VS 2005 o ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Extract values from persisted workflow without instanciate it

  Hi there I'm trying to extract the initial parameters of a persisted workflow for comparison purposes, without the need to instantiate him. I'll try to explain it... I have a workflow that describes the life cycle of a customer inside a business home. When the customer arrive, they are admitted in the reception where a few personal information is gathered. A workflow is created for every one that is admitted. They pass through 3 different steps and talk to 3 different end users of the application until the workflow is finished. For every step I want the end user to have a display list of customers in list for that step by order they arrived. Throught SQLTrackingService I manage to track in what activity the workfl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Monitoring Changes on a Tab Page

  In my WinForms app I have a tab page with a bunch of controls on it (e.g. textboxes, checkboxes, buttons, radio buttons, etc.). Is there an event, or a few events, of the tab page that I can monitor to see if any changes to any controls on the tab page have been made Robert W. http://pocketpollster.com WinForms questions are off topic for the Visual C# General forum. Your question is likely to be answered quicker in this forum, where experts in WinForms are likely to be reading questions. I've moved this thread to WinForms General forum. ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to get the history of visited webpages from a tabbed webbrowser?

  Hi...Need your help! Anyone! I'm trying to create a clone webbrowser for vs 2005. I'm having a problem implementing the history under the back button like internet explorer. I'm trying this... dim collection as new array under documenttitlechange... collection.add(combobox1.text) but this little code up here works fine if the application has only 1 webbrowser...but if it has two, like in a tabbed kind, than there's where the problem starts, the array is adding both or all the webbrowser's history. so when i click the back button to open the combobox, I do not have the history of the current webbrowser that i'm viewing but I have all the history of all the tabbed webbrowser that I'm viewing. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Shared interface member

  Why can't interface methods be declared Shared in VB I have a controllerFactory interface that is used in a number of apps to dispense app sepcific controller classes for use in an app neutral framework. Currently I have to create an instance of the controller factory classes to invoke the GetController methods. Ideally I'd like to make this method shared and invoke it without creating an instance of the Factory. If I try to mark the implementation shared then Visual Studio shows the error "methods or events that implement interface members cannot be shared". If I mark the interface method as shared the error message is "'Shared' is not valid on an interface method declaration". Here's the interface definition: ...Show All

  This code doesn't seem to be working right. What I need to do is watch for left and mouse downs, and when both are down at the same time, show a window. This class should do it, but isn't working.

• Visual C# New C# Keyword - retry?

  I believe that C# could benefit from extending try-throw with retry keyword. Simple example of this would be: try { PerfomAction(); } catch(Exception ex) { DialogResult dr = MessageBox(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore, MessageBoxIcon.Question); if(DialogResult.Retry==dr) retry; // Jumps to the begining of try block } IMHO: This makes for cleaner-looking and less bug-prone code than the alternatives with goto or loops. This is almost right. You need to set retry=false at the BEGINNING of the try block: [code] bool retry = false; do{ try { retry = false; //default value if no exception exposed //do the stuff here } ...Show All

• Visual C# file down loader heeeelllp!!!!!

  can some one , anyone give me some direction in creating a simple file downloader if possible forcing the downloader dialog. thanx if anyone can help use the WebRequest/WebResponse classes to get the file you want or use the WebClient class, which includes events to show you the progress of the file download being completed.

• SQL Server Deploy Subreport

  Is there a way that we can set a property in de Visual Studio to prevent a report of being shown in the Report Manager. I know that we could control it from the SSRS side, but when a developper creates a Report that contains subreports it would be usefull to indicate that the subreports don't have to be shown, so they don't have to inform the site-manager to hide some subreports.

There isn't really another way as it is a file format that only realplayer will understand and if you want to work with realplayer, you need their SDK/development tools so you can create your player and realplayer acting as the background core module that plays the files, whilst you can design your UI or whatever it is. ...Show All
