• Visual Studio Project references basics

  I have a single solution and two VC++ projects.  I hope the MSBuild experts can help even though I'm only using the VS-integrated level of MSBuild.  (EDIT -- Maybe I'm not using MSBuild at all!  Seems as though it is used for managed code projects; I'm not using managed code.) One project ("A") depends on the output of another ("B") because the final assembly (.exe) of project A uses the output of project B as the source for an embedded resource.  (A custom build step in project A compresses the output of project B before the resource compiler actually uses the compressed file while building project A.) For now I have added the output file of project B to project A.  The problem is that th ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnced app exe path always the same (after updates)?

  Hello, I just finished updating my application to use ClickOnce deployment. My app used to contain a setting that would enable the users to just use a checkbox to "Run this application on Windows startup", and what it did behind the scenes was to save the application's full path in the Run key in the registry when the app exits. My question is, when ClickOnce updates an application, does it replace the original executable or does it save it locally with another path So, what I am currently doing, will it keep working Thanks in advance, Luis Alonso Ramos ...Show All

• Windows Forms Open IE and Navigate from VB.Net

  Can anyone tell me how to open Internet Explorer and navigate to URLs from vb.net When the user clicks a button on my windows form I would like it to navigate to a URL in Internet Explorer. If there is already an IE window open, I would like it to reuse it. Something like this: If (IE is not open) then Open IE End If Navigate to URL Thanks That almost worked but it got me started, I had to change it to the following: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe", " http://www.yoursite.com ") However, this opened a new window each time. I found that the following would reuse the browser, if available: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(" http://www.yoursite.com ") Now, as a follow ...Show All

• SQL Server XML into SQL tables with relationships

  Hi, I'm trying to find the most efficient method of importing XML files into SQL Server using SSIS. The objective is to read these files created in a source directory and potentially there will be a large number of these created every second. I've experimented with the XML Source data flow task and been able to import using either the OLEDB Destination or SQL Server Destination.Using the associated XSD file These methods work well when there are no PK or FK relationships, i.e. the target tables are stand alone. However when I use a schema that has relationships I need to be able to import and be able to return the key then use this key to import into another table to ensure the FK relationship and so on..... From what I know ...Show All
