• Windows Forms FileIOPermission on My.Application.Info.DIrectoryPath

  Hi all, As the title suggests, I am getting a System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission exception on this line of code: ... Dim path As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath ... I am calling this line within the Form_Load event of a Windows form. Do any of you have any idea as to why this is happening Thanks, Stephen. It sounds like your application is running in a security zone where the FileIOPermission is in some way restricted which doesn't quite work for DirectoryPath. What zone is your app running in Any chance of increasing it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions error trying program on other pc

  Hi I've got a program. It has 1 source file (.cpp) and 1 header file(.h). When I compile on my local machine the program works just fine, but when I try it on another pc I get the error that somethings wrong with the configuration of the program and that it can't be run. I have .net framework 1 till 2 installed and the microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistibutable on the other pc.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inherited Custom Image Control...

  I've been trying all sorts of methods, searching Google, this forum, MSDN, etc. for successfully creating and using a custom Image class, inherited from the base Image class... public class SidebarIcon : Image { private string iconTitle_x; private string iconPath_x; public string iconTitle { get { return iconTitle_x; } set { iconTitle_x = value; } } ... } Now, going from there, or taking a totally different approach from making this simple custom control... I want to use it in XAML just like I can the Image class, but with those added properties, iconTitle, and iconPath. I've seen and tried samples all over like, <cc:SidebarIcon/>, etc. But ...Show All

• Visual C# Windows Updates

  How can I check if windows updates are enabled Thanks, It would be nice to be able to post at the good old MSDN forums again, instead of the police state we're living in lately. Anyhoo, I think Windows Updates operates at two levels: the service downloads updates in the background and 'a component' pops up from time to time to ask you to install the updates. You probably disabled the latter but not the former. Sorry, don't know how the former works, I got tired of it quite a while ago and turned everything off... ...Show All

• Gadgets Force user to the Settings UI window

  I have a gadget that requires some user settings before it can function. I'd like to check the settings and if they are blank, say something like "Click here to change settings". Then when the user clicked the link, I would like to open the settings window just as if the user clicked the little wrench icon. Right now all I can do is tell them to click the little wrench thingie and hope that they know that that means. Unless I'm overlooking something in the Sidebar Gadget Object Model , I don't see a function for this. Does one exist It would be nice to have a System.Gadget.Settings.show() function to launch the settings UI. Donavon Sorry, but this is not supported.

• .NET Development Extending the XHTML schema

  Hi all, I''m with this question that maybe you could answer. I've extended some XHTML tags to add an form validation functionality in the client side (implemented with javascript ). I’ve created a set of attributes that indicates what kind of validation check is needed for the form field before it was submitted to the server. Like this: <input type="text" v:type="email" /> <input type="text" v:type="name" /> Then a javascript function processes all the tags and validates the form accordingly to the v:type attribute. Everything was fine. All the modern desktop browsers supported the extension, but that’s not enough for the project I’ve been working on. The code must be validated by some XHTML validators around the web. The c ...Show All
