• Windows Forms How to determine a control design mode?

  Hello, how can I determine whether my control is in a design mode or not Let's say I want to have the background color blue in designer and red when my application is running. I know there is a "DesignMode" parameter for Component objects, but for Control Hey, you could obviously use the DesignMode of the parent form of the control. Otherwise you could create a custom control and with its code define its behaviour in DesignMode by calling this.DesignMode. ...Show All

• .NET Development Max pool size reached exception when trying to open a new connection

  hi all, i am working on a asp.net web app and using ado.net 's SqlClient Data Provider to connect to sqlserver 2005. I am getting the exception " Timeout expired . The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connection s were in use and max pool size was reached." .

• Visual Studio Document Explorer takes 2-3 minutes to load

  When pressing <F1> inside Visual Studio .NET 2005, it takes about 2-3 minutes for the Document Explorer to load (when it not was opened before). (See image: http://magerquark.de/data/misc/vs-document-explorer-01.png ) This seems to happen since I installed the .NET Enterprise Library and those December 2005/January 2006 Beta blocks. I uninstalled it, but the slow load behaviour consists. Seems to me as if Document Explorer is trying to "recompile" some help files each time it is opened, like it does for the first time. These are the contents I have currently loaded: (See image: http://magerquark.de/data/misc/vs-document-explorer-02.png ) Question: Does anyone know how to speed up document explorer again Thanks Uwe Can yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Reporting Services/ReportViewer question

  Hello, We are working on a WPF/.Net 3.0 based application with some reporting needs and we are hoping to use Reporting Services 2005. Is it possible to host the WinForms ReportViewer control in WPF context I have learned that WinForms controls can be hosted using WinFormsHost, but I wasn't sure about ReportViewer control sicne it's not really part of the .Net framework (I could be wrong about this). If ReportViewer is not possible, are there any other options for report integration (any other tool) at this point Thanks for any help/advice. Murthy I cannot answer for ReportViewer in particular, because I haven't tried it myself. But in general, for a full trust app, there is no restriction on the WinForms control bein ...Show All

• .NET Development Authenticating client using SSLStream

  I have seen the MSDN sample code for implementing SSL in a TCP client/server application (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.security.sslstream.aspx) I then wanted to add the 'optional' client authentication piece to this sample by changing the client to use: I Added: X509CertificateCollection X509Coll = new X509CertificateCollection(); I Added: X509Coll.Add(new X509Certificate(@"c:\Projects\SSLStreamClient.cer")); I Changed: sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient(serverName, X509Coll, SslProtocols.Tls, false); it originally was: s slStream.AuthenticateAsClient(serverName); I created SSLStreamClient.cer using makecert.exe and placed it in CurrentUser.Personal and in CurrentUser.Trusted Root Certi ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Service Pack 2

  Can anyone tellme when SQL 2005 Service Pack 2 will be out It is a big problem when I can't look at an existing role and see what permissions are for a group of objects.

You may need to use the "Effective Permissions" button to see if the principle actually has permissions on the securable.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can't get most basic VSTO 2005 SE Outlook Add-In to load

  I have crawled all over the web to no avail. I have VS 2005, with VSTO 2005 loaded, and loaded VSTO 2005 SE. I try to run the basic 2005 SE Outlook Add-In template in debug mode from the IDE. I have not added ANY code, not even Hello World. On run, Outlook starts with a dialog box, Office document customization is not available. An add-in could not be found or could not be loaded. Clicking on the Details button gives no additional information. In Outlook under COM Add-ins, Load Behavior for the add-in states "Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in." There are no other COM Add-ins (I don't have Newsgator or anything like it - already read that answer).
