• Visual Basic SelectNextControl method

  Hi, I'm creating a enhance textbox control that can accept only numerical value. To do so, I've created a new user control that inherit the textbox properties and added my own code. When the return key is hit, I want to focus to be pass to the next control. I added the following code in my control class but the SelectNextControl method does not appear to work.

• Visual Studio Team System Sharing code projects in Team Foundation Server

  We currently use VSS for source control, we want to move on to TFS Source control as we want all the extra functionality of work item tracking, multiple check outs and the version control etc.. the problem I am having at the moment is how best to get round the issue of sharing code projects (libraries, c# projs whatever you want to call them!) between applications.

• Smart Device Development Locking an application

  Hi all, How would I go about locking an application so that one would need to re-enter a username and password to gain entry again. I know thats very vague so here goes; Background: Im new to C# and developing a C# mobile app which displays confidential info to the user. Ideally, if the user has not tapped the screen for x minutes, the application should lock itself and not permit the user to see what it was displaying. This functionality should also be available as an icon incase the user voluntarily wants to lock the application. This are my thoughts on accomplishing this: Have a thread that monitors for taps and if the time between last tap exceeds a certain ...Show All
