• Windows Forms Shell Extension Context Menu in C# strange error.

  Hi, i'm writing a shell extension in c# that will add two menu's to the right-click menu of explorer. Here is the problem.

• Windows Forms Uses Business Objects in Windows Forms App

  Hi all, I am developing Windows Forms apps that make use of several business objects/classes that need to be alive for long periods throughout the application live. Is the best way to do this to have a static Global class that then contains sub-classes which are the business objects I can only see Global classes (statics) as the way to go as declaring the classes on teh forms means they will only be alive for the live of the form, which is not what I want. Is this the right way, or is there a more elegant way of doing this other than declaring static classes Thanks in advance. Hi, You can either have a static class which contains collections of business object or use the singleton pattern to have a unique instance of a this data ...Show All

  Hi, I just installed Visual Studio 2005 on Windows x64 and when I open it up it keeps coming up with the error: Class not Registered. Looking for object with CLSID: {00BB2763-6A77-11D0-A535-00C04FD7D062} I've tried doing some searching and it seems thats the AutoComplete class but I'm not sure and I dont know what to do so I'm posting here.

I find it odd that I have no problem with Visual Basic 2005 Express at all. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSMS default database report error on export to excel

  Hi all, Recently started using, and loving, some of the default reports provided by the SSMS. My particular favorite at the moment is on Database, Object Execution Statistics. Really nice for reviewing what is running hot on the server! Right clicking on these reports gives the option to export the report - either to PDF or to Excel. While PDf is great for the management report, I want it out to Excel, so I can do some ordering, etc. Whowever, I get and error when I try to export the excel: ERROR An Error occurred during local report processing.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. your first game!

  Hi, just wanted to express my views on the 'my first game' section... guys, this is a waste of time. please don't do things like this in future. it explains nothing, it teaches nothing. it just lets me copy and past a load of code and then marvel at what the program does. you may as well just give us the file and say look what we did. It's not all negative. the tutorials on visualbasic express were wonderful. I couldn't believe at how insightful they were. is this done by the same people well thats my feelings on that anyway. if your gonna do any kind of tutorial, take some tips off the visual basic ones. and if your gonna ask us to copy and paste code, make it small chunks, and describe what the commands are doing. othe ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Caching policy in IE

  How does the browser behave when the cache is full Does it delete the cache periodically Or Is it a FIFO process trigerred only when a new object(say image) has to be cached IE has a scavenger process which clears outdated items as the cache fills up. The clearing algorithm is non-trivial, but basically, it removes expired items and not-recently used items first. I wrote a bit about caching here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwebgen/html/ie_introfiddler2.asp ...Show All

• Visual Basic Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V don't work...

  I seem to have globally lost the Windows standard Ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V (paste) functionality between the text boxes in my application. Their content is copied from, but not bound to, a database table. It's almost as if the application/solution itself has "a switch turned off" somewhere. Where should I start looking please Any ideas The textboxes are nothing clever, and their Read Only properties are left at the default "False". Thanks. (VB 2005 Express edition) Did you change the ContextMenuStrip property I believe the TextBox gets this functionality from the default ContextMenu. Tony ...Show All
