• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Window drag while Window.Style="None"

  Hello! I have set Window.Style to "None" so there is no bar that can be used for dragging. I've tried to emulate dragging by myself using MouseDown, MouseMove, MouseUp events of the form, but that appeared not so smooth and accurate as initial dragging. Is there any proved method of window drag emulation. Thanx this might be of help http://blogs.msdn.com/llobo/archive/2006/08/09/Using_WPF_for_creating_gadgets_or_desktop_apps.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using SQL to get information from an MS Access database

  I am sure this is a pretty basic question but I am very new to using C# and connecting an application to a database in general. I have an application created and connected to an MS Access database (everything works great) and I can have a datagrid fill all the contents from a table in the database. What I want to do is have a user type in part of word that is stored in the database and than have just those words display in the datagrid. Also, before a user types in part of a word, they will select a category from a drop down box (they have three choices) Here is the code for that: if (cbBCBS.Text.Trim().ToLower().Equals( "mr breast" )) { } else if (cbBCBS.Text.Trim().ToLower().Equals( "mra" )) ...Show All

• Windows Forms RichTextBox help needed!

  Hello, I am writing a fully featured text editor. How can I code this: When the user clicks Save, it saves any changes to the current open file. If the file has not been saved yet, it launches the Save As code. Also, when the program exits, how can I make the program check if there are any unsaved changes, and ask the user if he/she would like to save the file. Matt Use a boolean flag for the current document if it has been changed since last save. Have another member keep the actual filename. On save event you do nothing if nothing has changed and if it has and no filename ask for a filename if it does not yet have one. Once it is changed and you have a filename you can save it. If you exit the ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to view a web page

  I want to do the simplest thing, just call a regular web browser from VB Express to view a page on the web. NOT embed it in the application, not write a web browser, not control a web browser - lots of info on those, but I just can't find anything in help or online to just open up a web browser outside the application and display a page from the web.

('view web page', 'call web page', 'view html', 'call html', 'call web browser' etc etc....Arghhhhh) Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 - Windows Service Project and Setup Project questions

  My solution consists of a Windows Library (that creates a DLL), an EXE that is the Windows Service and a Setup project for deployment. The Windows Service references the DLL project. Everything is installed and deployed. 1.

I am using a My.Settings config file (app.config) to store application settings for the DLL. How do I include this in my Setup project so that I can manually change settin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Remote Desktop still an issue

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session. I am trying to achive this, but the function returns error code 1307 (ERROR_INVALID_OWNER) = "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object."

When I use Remote Desktop to debug, the session id is 3, however WTSQueryUserToken() failed with the same error 1008. ...Show All

  I recently received and installed Visual Studio 2005. When I create an empty Pocket Pc 2003 (or Windows Mobile 5.0) application and try to deploy it, I get a messagebox that says "No such interface supported".
