• Visual C# Windows Service will not run on Windows 2003 Server

  Hi, I have developed a Windows Service that installs and runs fine on my XP (Pro) machine. When I install and try to run it on a Windows 2003 Server machine, it installs but does not run . Here is the eventlog entry: EventType clr20r3, P1 MyService.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 452baa7e, P4 system.windows.forms, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333aefa, P7 3d21, P8 ee, P9 system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL. May I also add that there are no references to System.Windows.Forms in my service. Any help is much appreciated. You might still be referencing System.Windows.Forms indirectly. For instance, Microsoft.VisualBasic does reference System.Windows.Forms (for Interaction.MsgBox, among others, I guess). HTH --mc ...Show All

  I want to create an application that opens a program that I have installed on my computer when I press a button on my form, e.x "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007\Acad.exe\". What object or methods should I use Thanks.. Hi Squire, Being an old VB6 user I think I understand what he's taking about. My trouble is remembering what it's like to a build without a Setup project. Main Menu Build | Build Project Name Should do it. As in VB, look under Bin/release Properly speaking, there is utterly no such thing as "standalone image" in Dot Net. A new user will be horrified to learn - The the "code" is partially compiled and optimized psuedo code or intermediate ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem printing with RawPrinter and Win98

  I use the RawPrinter class, as per MSDN discussions.  This has printed perfectly well from a Win98 client to a shared printer on a WinXP machine. I now get error 120 when I try to run the OpenPrinter.  All I know is that we have re-installed Win98 on the client, but I cannot find any info as to what might be generating the error. I can print to the WinXP printer from a WinXP client, just not Win98. Any suggestions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Yet another printing question

  Hi there everyone.... I have done tons of reading in this forum and others about the best way to print documents (word and pdf) and have mixed reviews. If anyone can answer my question I will be eternally grateful... here goes... in .Net's PrintDocument class, how do I print a word document using this class I have read that you need to stream text to the class, but if I open a streamreader of the word file, will it lose the formatting I know I can use interop to do this printing, but all documentation I have read indicates I shouldn't do this, and besides I don't get the printer control I need when doing this. any ideas or suggesstions will be helpful.. Thanks Justin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding KeyCollection of a Dictionary to a combobox?

  Not absolutely sure I've got the right forum for this, but I'm trying to bind the keys of my Dictionary object to be the source for my ComboBox, so that I can pass the other half of the pair as an argument to another function. Problem it, the KeyCollection won't bind directly and I can't find any valid casts to make it bind. Any ideas on how to do it or, as always, other options that are more sane ...Show All

• .NET Development deserializing without loading assembly

  Hello! I'm working on plugin framework, where each plugin resides in its own AppDomain. Plugins are configurable. Configuration variables may be different for each plugin, but should be accessible from main application. I guess discovering plugin's config variables via Reflection would cause loading plugin's assembly into main AppDomain, which is what I want to avoid. My question is: is it possible to serialize object defined in assembly "A" loaded into some AppDomain and send it to another AppDomain (as byte[], string or XmlWhatever), and then deserialize it in that AppDomain without loading assembly "A" into it In my current implementation plugins store their configuration variables in Dictionary, thus making configuration via PropertyG ...Show All

• Visual Basic Inheriting from Scrollable Control

  I'm working on a custom control where I'm going to handle drawing the entire UI with GDI+. The control class is inheriting from ScrollableControl, and I'm setting the AutoScroll property to True and setting the AutoScrollMinSize to 300x300 pixels, but this does nothing. What I want is for scrolling to happen based on the size of the drawing surface and not on the position of any other controls contained on the drawing surface (since I won't have any). I'm fairly new to custom control concepts, so I'm not sure how to go about this. Any tips you guys could offer would be much appreciated. The only idea I've had so far is to derive the control from the Control class, and then write a ScrollableControl derived control to house that control and ...Show All

• SQL Server Caching with Dynamic Security

  I defined one role in my AS database with dynamic security for each dimension. I am accessing the AS database in an ASP.NET web application which runs under a domain user and uses Form Authentication. Therefore I always connect to the AS database under the same domain user even though security should be based on the user logged into the web application. When I run a MDX query, I pass along the web user's security info as part of the connectionstring and uses dynamic security to get the AllowedSet for each dimension. However, I notice my user defined function is ran only on the first time I run a query, meaning the dimension security is cached based on the domain user in the connection string and not the web user. Sorry if this sounds confu ...Show All
