• Visual Studio After the Fire(fox) - how to set default Web browser back to IE6 in VS2005?

  Mozila Firefox is causing me headaches! At one point there was Mozila Firefox installed on my PC. It was uninstalled using Setup\Add Remove Programs. I also removed the directory from ...<user>\Application Data folder. (Someone suggested) Visual Studio 2005 (professional), however, pops up with error: "Could not launch "C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE". File or path not found." when I attempt to open VS5 menu "Website/ASP.net Configuration" with my Website project opened. I examined the "Tools/Options" in Visual Studio. I also checked "IE should check to see whether it is the default browser" option my IE Internet Options/Programs tab and restarted all. No ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compatibility Issues

  Hi Folks, I have a small network with a Novell 3.1 file server. There a four workstations running 98SE with Novell Client 3.1. I want to install an Access DataBase on a shared Novell server drive/directory and access it from each 98 SE workstation. I'll have to update the MDAC files, install .Net Framework 2.0, and install my VB Express DataBase application on each workstation. Are there any known compatibility issues that I should be aware of with any of the above Thanks. Last time I checked, SharpDevelop would run on 98. This was with the version that worked with the 1.1 Framework. The latest version Corsavy which works with Framework 2.0 may or may not work. It is a pretty decent IDE ( a ...Show All

• Visual Basic GetPrivateProfileSectionNames

  I am officially at a loss. Now, please do not inform me that ini files are obsolete. I am not using them for application settings. My question: How does this work All the sample code I can find is for vb6 and when trying to port it, there are errors abound. I found one sample for vb.net but could not get it to do what I want. Here is the sample: Dim profiles As New Collections.Specialized.StringCollection Dim ptr As IntPtr = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(New String(vbNullChar, 1024)) Dim len As Int32 = GetPrivateProfileSectionNames(ptr, 1024, IniPath) Dim buff As String = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(ptr, len) Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptr) Dim sb As New StringBuilder For ii As Integer = 0 To len - 1 Dim c As Cha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What privs to I need to use witImport and witexport?

  I can use TFSDeleteProject fine, because it prompts for a username and password.  But witimport and witexport don't prompt for a username.  What am I doing wrong   My username is authorized as Admin.   >witexport /t 166.20.96.241 /p ERsim /n Meeting TF30063: You are not authorized to access 166.20.96.241. That post does seem to be the same problem as what I am experiencing.  But I do not understand the answer that Dan Kershaw posted.  I can do a TSFDeleteProject which does prompt for username/password, but this doesn't at all have any effect on getting subsequent witexports to work.  Nor does starting up VS and its prompting for username validation.  ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Array.Resize

  I'm trying to dynamically resize an array of objects and getting a error: Error 1 The type arguments for method 'System.Array.Resize<T>(ref T[], int)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly. D:\Code\CSharp\StuntFighter2000\StuntFighter2000\StarField.cs 89 17 StuntFighter2000 I'm confused what this means my code is: Array .Resize( ref cStarArray, 210); cStarArray is declared as: private Array cStarArray = Array .CreateInstance( typeof ( Star ), 200); Any thoughts Thanks, Mario and Mukuh, I found that Array.Resize is not implemented in Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0. This thread provides me the workaround over the problem. ...Show All

• Visual Basic send to a printer in VB.net

  Isn’t there a way to send an MS Word doc to a printer in VB.net We generate dozens of Word docs for our clients daily, and would like to create a simple app that will list the files in a selected folder and allow them to highlight as few or as many as they want and send them to their default printer. I can’t seem to put my finger on any information describing a similar task in VB.net. Thanks, Michael Nicholas Assuming a ListView with checkboxes enabled, and filenames as text entries (tags will work with minor alteration, if you don't want to cram the whole path and filename in the Text property). This snippet will print any file that has a Print association set up for that ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Managed version of lineDrop in Windows Mobile 5.0?

  I'm trying to write an application that drops calls from known telemarker numbers. The SystemState class in the Windows Mobile 5 SDK makes it easy to detect incoming calls and determine the number. However the matter of dropping the call is a whole other issue. AFAIK, there is no facility in the Compact Framework for this (correct ). I've looked at OpenNETCF and Alex Feinman's TAPI wrapper (which I don't believe works on Windows Mobile 5). Am I missing something or is there simply no way to do this Thanks, Matt When I use Alex's TAPI wrapper against the Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Emulator I get the following when I dial out a number (forget about receiving just yet): An unhandled exception of ...Show All

• Visual Basic former issues, revisited: FileSystemWatcher

  My understanding of the FileSystemWatcher is that it can only watch a single directory, and either one file type or all file types (nothing in between). If that is true, I am looking at a different approach, if it is not true, perhaps someone could expand my limited knowledge. In short, here is what I want to accomplish. I have big files being uploaded to our FTP server (located in our office), by various speed IP’s (including dial-up) to over 30 unique folders, and I want them swept into a central location. Obviously I have to be concerned about whether the files have completed their upload before they are moved. I was thinking about an app that has a timed event to check all of the files in each named directory for the “da ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Show of Hands! Is WF by itself a viable approach to addressing a customer's workflow needs?

  Like many of us in the forum I am in the all too often unenviable position to influence my client's decisions. I currently have a lot of customers evaluating workflow, many for the 1st time. I personally have avoided building "custom" workflow solutions whenever possible as I have had success in the past implementing packaged workflow or BPM offerings, both Microsoft-based and less recently non-Microsoft-based. It's allowed me to focus my energies on building solutions and solving real business problems, not building infrastructure. Granted, there are customer situations that don't require or afford you the opportunity to buy a packaged solution to address a workflow/BPM need, but I would argue those are/should be the exception n ...Show All
