• SQL Server CE support from ASP.Net 2.0

  MS states that CE does not work with ASP.Net applications 'by default'. What is needed to change this default Bascially, my desktop app. is configured from a browser app. (ASP.Net 2.0) and I want to use CE as the datastore for the application. Thanks. I don't think this is such a good idea. SQLCe is not designed for this type of application and while it can be adapted for use with ASP.NET, I don't recommend it and (frankly) don't want to encourage you to do so. The information on how to use it on ASP.NET has been published... ...Show All

• Visual Studio ctc compilation failure - Error 9 CMDS: Unknown subsection header

  I have a VSPackage project and I'm getting the following failure after editing the resource file Error 9 CMDS: Unknown subsection header C:\\MyProject\\Project\\CtcComponents\\PkgCmd.ctc 47 MyProject The line number 47 is at fault, but it looks good. CMDS_SECTION guidMyProjectTypePkg The usual stuff is in the PkgCmd.ctc file, no menu or toolbar additions. I think the error is not pointing me to the correct spot. the Guid does exist in the guid.h and guid.cs files. Has anyone seen this before. I cannot build my project. I have noticed that there appears to be a duplicate PkgCmd.ctc file generated by the Ctc compiler, at least when I search for the guid two occurances of the same code appear in different files (VS locates the file at ...Show All

• Visual Basic Printing - skip a page

  I'm using the PrintDocument's PrintPage event to do my printing. All works fine, but I can't figure out how NOT to print a page of a multi-page document. Even if I never call DrawString inside the PrintPage event for a particular page, a blank page is sent to the printer for that page. Say you want to skip page #3. When the 3rd PrintPage event fires, just render the contents of page 4... ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form2.0 PixelFormat

  Hi there folks, I am porting my OpenGL control ( written in Managed C++) to C++/CLI, and for my surprise the PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR struct (which is valid in net1.1) that I pass to wglCreateContext() simply returns a ERROR_INVALID_PIXEL_FORMAT. Anyone had problems with that Are there new rules for pixel formats in net2.0 Thanks in advance I doubt it is any help but this code ran without errors in a VS2005 C++ Windows Forms project: System::Void Form1_Shown(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { PIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR pfd; pfd.bReserved = 0; pfd.cAccumAlphaBits =0; pfd.cAccumBits=0; pfd.cAccumBlueBits=0; pfd.cAccumGreenBits=0; pfd.cAccumRedBits=0; pfd ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do i do multipage forms

  Hi, i've been using asp.net 2.0 for a few months now and found it pretty easy to pick up coming from a web development background. However i'm developing a code generation script for my multi tier website and i would like to do it as a windows form. I thought this would be a good time for me to fully utilize visual studio 2005. So far i am able to add a new project and have two text boxes and a button which has an onclick event and adds the numbers together and displays it in a label control. The problem i have is that my application needs to be a little more difficult than this :). What i need is a multipage form which i can fill out and then finally click finish and then i handle the data. In asp.net i would simply use the wizard c ...Show All

• Visual C++ RegistrySettingsProvider

  I'm using the RegistrySettingsProvider MSDN example to save settings in my WinForms application, but I have a couple of questions. First, When calling SetPropertyValues(), the app would fail when using SerializedValue. I then added code to check for propval->Deserialized to determine if I should use propval->PropertyValue->ToString() vs. propval->SerializedValue. Why does this happen and why is this not needed in the MSDN example Second, I now have an issue where I can compile and run my code in debug mode, but in release mode I get an unhandled exception of type "System.TypeLoadException". Could not load type "Namespace.RegistrySettingsProvider" from assembly Namespace, Version=1.0.2531.22047, Culture ...Show All

Is this automatically trigger when you try to do a certain thing or maybe invoking a certain obsolete API or the OS is checking this against some data somewhere Can 3rd party use this feature if I want to force to block my app in Vista and force the user to download update ...Show All
