• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 opening to Run Once page with error on it.

  I downloaded updates last week. I have been using IE7 for a while with no problem. I dwnloaded the updates. Now when I open my browser the page tries to go to http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx . There is an error reported for this page and it will not open up I get a blue screen. How do I eliminate this I have my home page set in the tools section but when opening it won't go to my home page until I hit the home button on the tool bar. So what do you recommend I do Uninstall IE7 from my computer and download another version as I originally got the beta version. Then turn of my security center and install it. ...Show All

What are you trying to achive What stack do you use if you use the sytem stack implicitly by use of recursion, the pop and push methods are not that demanding on the performance. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS simultaneous connections

  Using the Import/Export Wizard, it is easy to set up SSIS jobs to import multiple tables in one task. However, SSIS appears to grab a connection to the source database and the destination database for each table indicated in the task sometime prior to doing the actual data transfer. Even though the transfer seems to be done a few tables at a time, all the connections are held throughout the execution of the task. This has two effects: 1. The task may fail if the number of connections exceeds the limit of user connections set for the database 2. There is a severe impact on the other users of the databases (in my case, the source is a production system) Is there any way to control the number of simultaneous connections that SSIS ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista On Vista, iexpress launching the application window in the background!!

  We use the Microsoft's IExpress to package a bottstrapper and MSI file into a self-extractable installer package.The self-extractable installer extracts bootstrapper (setup.exe) and MSI package and launches setup.exe which in turn launches msi package. The problem is when self-extractable is launched on Vista machine, the UI window is getting launched in the background. I have to use ALT+Tab to bring it to the foreground. But when the self-extractable is launched on other OS (XP, W2k3 server etc), UI window is properly launched in the foreground. Has any one experienced similar issue Is this an issue with Vista Great, to know that. I'm going to make the assumption you are going for Vista Logo Certification. If th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change default icon on the application's exe file??

  I have been searching for the answer for this problem for a while now. I have been going through the settings without no luck at all. I have found out how to: * change the icon on the application window's left upper corner * set the icon that's showing in add/remove programs dialog * change the icon on a shortcut placed on the users desctop (by adding the icon to the programfolder and then change the shortcut's icon-property to that icon)... I hope that is how it is supposed to be done ! But how do I change the default icon (white with blue border) on the application's exe file that is outputted to the programfolder by the installer project I have added the icon i want to use in app.rc by using the "Resource View"-windo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WF in a Load Balanced environment

  I've directly copied this from my blog as no-one seems to know the answer, so I'd appreciate any thoughts... In WF, when a workflow instance is in memory, the "Locked" database field is set (of course assuming you're using the SqlWorkflowPersistenceService) so that it cannot be loaded concurrently by any other App Domain running the workflow engine. In the case of NLB (Network Load Balancing) this means that only one node of the NLB cluster can operate on a workflow instance at a time. Usually, assuming UnloadOnIdle is set on the persistence service, as soon as processing stops for a workflow it is put back into the database and unlocked, therefore making it available at any node for the next request. But when does this ...Show All

• Visual Basic ActiveX EXE projects in .NET

  We have a VB6 app that we've used the upgrade tool to upgrade to .NET. The original VB6 project was an ActiveX EXE, with windows forms as the primary code components. This proejct is not working since we've updated it to VB.NET - the EXE is not available to be called through COM as a COM object, nor is it being registered in the registry. What do I need to do to my project so that it runs the Windows Forms that I need (with the code in them) and yet still be able to call it through COM from other applications I've seen the references to using the COM Class template, yet i'm not sure how to integrate it into my application with Windows Forms in it.

• Visual Basic Problem with foreign key update

  Hello everyone, I am having trouble with a table I am trying to update. The table contains information about a client's cases, so it has a foreign key to the CLIENT.CLIENTID column. However, when a new record is created, the CASE.CLIENTID column is always blank. Note: I am using databound textboxes to show this information. I certainly don't want a databound textbox where the user has to manually enter the CLIENTID value for this particular case. So there must be a way to, before the commiting the new row to the list, setting this columns value, manually. After trying various ways to reference the new row's CLIENTID column, including using the BindingSource.AddingNew event, and trying to set the value manually into Bindingsource.Cu ...Show All

• Visual Basic Inserting a line break in a literal string

  I am just getting started with VB and I am sort of used to QuickBasic, and I wanted to open a text file such as "C:/File.txt" and add to it. I got the file open and all of its contents into a string, but I can't add line breaks to it. The line breaks display fine in a MsgBox command but I can't insert the line break string (which looks like two vertical lines) into a literal string. If I try to paste it into the VB Code window, it actually adds a line break just as if I had pressed Enter, and the symbols look different than the Shift + \ line ( | ). The program looks sort of like this: FileContents = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\File.txt") Now, a Sub for a button NewData = TextBox1.Text FileContents = FileCont ...Show All

• .NET Development Sharing 2 code bases

  Hi All! I have a Windows DLL containing code used in normal windows VB.NET projects. I want to create a DLL to be used in a Pocket PC Project that references the same code used in the WIndows DLL without cloning the code base. Any ideas how to accomplish this Charlie There isn't a real easy way of doing this, mostly because the compact framework and the main framework have a lot of differences. One option I have successfully used in the past is creating a separate project for the PocketPC library, but using "link to file" when adding the original files to the new project. I then use preprocessor directives to resolve differences between the two frameworks. Using linked ...Show All
