• Gadgets Web Site in sidebar Gadget; Need to Refresh Every 10 Seconds

  I need to be able to display a web site in a sidebar gadget, and have it update every 10 seconds. It is used to monitor servers. The gadget needs to be about 500 x 600 pixels. I have seen some messages talking about using iframes to display a web site in a sidebar gadget, but I cannot find a way to successfully get it to refresh at a specified interval (say every 10 seconds). Any assistance and/or code samples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I had exactly the same problem, which I could not solve by adding a querystring to the image-source (as the Sidebar gadget would then display the annoying red X as it could not find the image when I'd add the to it.

• Visual Studio Team System Change in Team Edition / Team System Direction??

  I'm starting this thread because all of the threads regarding DB Source Control, being able to open DB Projects in other versions of VS and other questions have gotten me to thinking and researching what is actually the reasoning / usage of Team System It would seem to me that DataDude may have gotten off track compared to the other TS Editions. If we all think back to when TS was released, we were forced to make a choice as to what edition we would migrate to. Most of us probably chose Developer. More important, the original intent (as I understood it) was that ALL TS Versions would have - 1. the same development capabilities (all types of projects, all languages, all technologies (i.e. Windows Forms, ASPNET, Web Services, etc.) ...Show All

  I wrote a application with VB that is been activated from an other program, the problem is that when I open or close a form in my application, I lose the focus of my application. Is there a solution to keep the focus on my application until I close it Thanks. One way, if your application suits it, would be to make your main form an MDI container and make all the other forms children of this form. Then when you close any of the child forms the focus will remain on your application. ...Show All
