• Visual Basic Creating shortcuts

  I am trying to create a shortcut on my desktop and also in my startmenu. I have looked over the internet and could not get any of the examples I found to work. Is it really this difficult Thank you, Troy L. See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=699394&SiteID=1 The code only works when the project is published. It does not add a shortcut while being tested in the IDE. Solution works for XP, but can be modified to work for older versions. You need a PC with an older version to look at and see what it's shortcut file looks like. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Acess to IHtmlDocument2 from frame content

  Is there any way to gain access to the html document object model is order to handle document completed events on a Frame element FYI, WinForms CANNOT be hosted in the sandbox for anyone who didn't already know this so for pretty much ALL of the scenarios that involve COM in some form or another, WBAs are out of the question. Well what the heck do we do if we need some componentized functionality from the COM days Should'nt this technology be HTML++ and not HTML--. HTML + Javascript seems to give more functionality than XBAP in this regard ... why Also, not quite sure what the purpose of the same server boundary on web services is anymore. If I can use ajax to pull data from any web service accross domai ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating a line in the registration database in Windows, and the Using/changing this value?

  Ok. First of I am creating an application which does a lot of communication with a database. Several databases actually, and what I would like to do is have a couple of lines in the registry which contains the IP of these databases. Say, key Production=10.10.10.10 key Report=10.10.10.11 key Distributing=10.10.10.12 How do I create these using the windows installer How do I use this information in a connection from the program to a server How can I change this if the IP changes of one of these servers I don't know if this is the best solution, but I think the information is good to know stuff anyhow. Different ideas are welcome, but I think this is the way I want to do it. Sune Se ...Show All

• .NET Development Acessing an Excel Sheet from a .Net web application

  I have a requirement where i need to import Excel data into a web application. The catch is I don't know in what format the data is i.e. either the columns can represent fields or the row represents fields. In case the column represents fields I can access the data. However in case the rows represents fields I am unable to do so. Any idea how I can handle a situaltion like this Then you need to read schema information first about which columns and spreadsheets are inside of the workbook. You could use GetOleDbSchemaTable method of OleDbConnection class to get this information. Then query the data. But it is possible that method will not return all the information, since Excel files are not really databases ...Show All

• Visual C++ "Layered" precompiled headers

  Hi, I'm reading the book "C++ templates, the complete guide", and in section 6.5 the writers suggest to use layered precompiled headers. With that they mean to have multiple precompiled headers, but also to have a precompiled header to use another precompiled header, as if it inherits the other precompiled header. For instance, have one header containing all std includes like vector, list, string etc. This is a header that is unlikely to change a lot. You will create the first precompiled header from it. Let's say we put it in std.h. The second precompiled header need all stl headers and some of our own, which are likely to change every now and then. We want to avoid recompiling the stl headers when a change is made in t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unmanaged C++ and VS2005: Hidden .NET Requirements?

  Hi everyone. While developing some unmanaged C++ DLL that uses COM and ATL, I've been having issues with deploying the DLL to other machines - those without .NET Framework v2. I've found out after some digging that changing the runtime library from its default to one of the debug libraries (and none of the DLL ones) removed this dependency, but introduced some crashes that im not entirely sure are related to my own application's logic. What is the proper way of creating unmanaged c++ DLLs in VC++2005, Who use ATL and COM Thanks in advance. You make many valid points. I tend to agree, however, I'm trying to live by the other approach (dynamic) for a while to see how it works out. Who knows, I may switch ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Does the IE7 Favorites Import/Export Wizard support Unicode?

  I have Chinese names and URLs in my favorites list. When I tried to export the favorites using the Import/Export Wizard, I examined the output xml file (bookmark.htm) and all the Chinese characters are gone, replaced with " ". I have the various Chinese languages (zh-HK, zh-CN, zh-TW) in the list at Internet Options > Languages but apparently this didn't matter. Does the IE7 favorites Import/Export Wizard support Unicode, or is there a way to make it support Unicode Thanks! I've just tried this myself, with similar results. It appears as though the Import/Export Wizard outputs the HTM file as an ANSI stream. Unlike a page 'Save As' operation, I don't know of a way to force it t ...Show All
