• Internet Explorer Development XP Style in C# IE Toolbar

  Hi, I've made a toolbar using the BandObjects article on Code Project : http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/BandObjects20.asp select=1819328&df=100&forumid=306921&exp=0 Unfortunately, the only way I have found of having theme styles activated is to supply an iexplore.exe.manifest in IE installation folder, which is not ideal for deployment... The google toolbar and other toolbars do have the XP style, without any manifest in IE folder! I have found articles saying that I could just supply a manifest for my dll , but I didn't manage to make it work. Here's such an article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms761394.aspx . I didn't manage to fill the manifest correctly, I guess In particular, I didn't know what to put as th ...Show All

• .NET Development CreateInstance throwing exception when creating "string" type.

  I have the following code that throws an exception when run: Object o = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType("System.String")); Here's the exception: Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: No parameterless constructor defined for this object. Sorry for bringing up this old thread, but actually I don't really understand why this exception is thrown, because String s = new String(); does work, so why do I receive this exception I'm asking, because I dynamicly create the object, so I just call: Activator.CreateInstance(aType). So do I really have to insert an if handling the String-Type because the Activator can't handle this ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem using managed C++ DLL in unmanged C++ project : Looking for XmlSerializers???

  I have an unmanaged win32 C++ project and recently tried to add a new managed C++ DLL to the project. When I do and run in DEBUG mode I catch managed exceptions. However if I select "Continue" the program runs fine. ALso if I run in release these exceptions never get thrown, or atleast never bother the application at all.

• Windows Forms Changing BindingSource.Position has NO EFFECT on anything

  I have a binding source that is correctly wired to a datatable in a dataset. I can get the list from the bindingsource and enumerate it so I know it is connected. However, I cannot get the bindingSource to change its position. It's like the g.d. thing is stuck on -1. It WILL NOT change to anything else by updating the position property. It continues to stay at -1. I have no idea what else to do to get this g.d. p.o.s. to work right. If there are 3 datarows in the bound list and I do something like this... MyDataTableBindingSource.Position = 1 and then I read the Position, it always returns -1 Any thoughts Yes, a Spread control is bound to the binding source. I have also noticed at a breakpoint that IsBindingSuspend ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista I need a way to determine whether a Windows Workflow is alive or not.

  I wanted to know there is a way to create a method to call to "poll" a Windows Worklow Webservice that I've created to determine if it's alive or dead. This doesn't mean actively running a workflow, but simply making sure it's ready to run one. (like a heartbeat) I'm using a Sequential Workflow and it's tied to 1 method currently that's called. Is it easier than I'm making it out to be If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it! Thanks! David, I'm not sure I understand 100% your question. The way I see it is this: If you don't want to check a specific workflow instance, then all you can do is ask the process/appdomain that is hosting the WF runtime for you (and which would be ...Show All

• SQL Server Easiest and performance effective way to store blob into varchar column

  Hi, My package dumps the errors into a table. The problem is, it couldnt dump Error Output column to a varchar field. I have added an script component in between to transform to string but no success.

• Visual J# Is it possible to make a form snap to the edge of the screen?

  Is it possible to make a form snap to the edge of the screen and the most imporant question is how do i make it impossible for other windows to become under it, like ICQ is snapping to the edge.. So far I just have my windows placed to the rightmost of the screen and it is "always on top". If this can't be done, how can I make it similar. Ahh, I didn't read your original post well, thought you didn't want other windows to come over it What you need to make is a desktop band control, if I remember the name well. You'll find lots of docs on how to do it on the Internet, but not sure of any such doc for how to do it with just managed code from .NET. You can do it from .NET too though, since you ...Show All
