• Visual Studio Express Editions process invisible

  Hello, I have designed a program with VB express that when run from the .exe file, it runs as a process. I have prevented the program from showing in the taskbar when running minimised as I want the program to be invisible to the user. I used the form properties to do this. But now when I run it it shows up as a tab down near the start button on the desktop.

• SQL Server Auditing Status of a Trigger in SQL Server 2005

  I need to know when a DML trigger changes state (from enabled to disabled, and disabled to enabled). I **assume** this info is not in any of the standard SQL Server 2005 loags and find no entry relating to triggers being enabled/disabled. Therefore I also *assume* the best way to do this is create a DDL Trigger and populate a table when a trigger status is changed. Am I on the right track Has anyone done this Code samples/links to solution Is there a simplier way <i'm all about simple> Thanks in advance. Thats exactly the right direction, if you need a quikc sample for using DDL events, take a look at the DDL event definition in the BOL and perhpas at the slightly diff ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Changing width and height of controls

  Hi, I know that the WPF UI design practice is saying "...avoid setting the size of controls explicite..." and "...use min and max properties instead...". But there are scenarios when you need to set this properties. One example: The user has the possiblity to change the defined column width of the Grid (with an GridSplitter). When the application shuts down this value (columns ActualWidth) is stored. Now I get in real trouble if trying to set the width of the column with the new start and trying to apply this values. The width of the cell will be fixed and from that point will not react to any window or column resize actions... How should such scenarios be handled Is it possible to init the UI objects alr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Designing TabItems

  When designing tab items it will not let me move the controls with the mouse to position them exactly where i want them. I have mess with the margin setting and tweak it manually which is very tedious. Is there a way around this Yes. Unfortunately that's a well known and infamous limitation in the current Cider CTP. Cider doesn't yet support custom controls in preview mode, although I understand that it will be addressed in the first Visual Studio Orcas CTP, expected in "early 1997" (according to an MSFT poster). You might want to try using the Expression Blend beta ( http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/Expression-Blend/default.mspx  in conjuction with Orcas. Expression Blend does ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista AutomationElements with no supported patterns

  I'm attempting to automate one of our company's products, and I've run into a snag: I can get an automation element for all of the controls in the product, but many of the controls have no supported control patterns. IE: the menu bar and tool bar of the product have no control patterns supported, and no children. The product is built on .Net 2.0 windows forms, and uses primarily standard controls. Automation code will have to be done on the client side, as there are currently no plans to add server side support at this time. I've looked into the possibility of using client-side proxies for automation, but I'm not sure if that's what I need. (Especially since many of the controls in the product do have supported control patterns, and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Create Unit Tests: default template & IDisposable

  When using the Create Unit Tests dialog, the generated code doesn't properly call Dispose on my disposable class. Is there a way to modify the code template used by this command The style I've developed for dealing with this is to add a member variable to the test class for the target, and put initializaiton of it in a [TestInitialize ] method, and call Dispose in the [TestCleanup ]. This keep the [TestMethod]'s lean and easy to maintain, and the cleanup method gets called even if the test fails. Unfortunately we don't have code template that you described for test generation and I don't think there is an any easy workaround other then what you have done. What you have asked is a good suggestion and I would recomment ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Remoting - Server should forward an ObjRef from one to another client

  Hello, I'm developing a client/server application by using .NET Remoting. Client- and server-activated objects works fine. But now I want to to create an object (e.g. StreamReader) on one client and send an ObjRef to the server. Then the server should forward this ObjRef to another client. Afterwards the second client should be able to use this ObjRef and read the file opened on the first client. The problem: in the configuration-file I have to specify the server's url, where the object can be found, but it's different each time. Is there any way to realize this Activator.GetObject takes as parameters a type and a URL and returns a proxy to that remote object. It doesn't matter where you take the URL from ...Show All
