• Visual C# View console app before termination

  Hi everyone..... I have a very basic and probably stupid question. I am just learning C# using the C#Express software and have a problem trying to view the output of my console apps. I have started a console app project, compiled and run. I see a brief flash and then the app closes and terminates. Q. How can I prevent the console closing down so that i can actually see somthing. Thankyou all for the replies .... Akbar and Grant I like both your solutions, thanks once again for the fast and accurate replies to my problem. Both these solutions worked. Adam i am just starting out with c# so i could not fully understand your solution, which may well work, but i am not that advanced yet. thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Question about Logical containers

  What is the best control or method to use when you want a label & combobox to always display, but a third-party control to occupy whatever the rest of the drawing surface might be (dependent on whether the user resizes or moves it about etc.) I used to know this, but wrestling with some fairly arcane object models has caused me temporary amnesia.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deploying VSTO Word Project: could not find or load customization assembly

  Hello! I developed a custom task pane with VSTO for a Word2003 report and now I would like to enable access for my clients to this document. I copied the document to a server folder in my intranet and tried opening it, but I got the following error:: "The customization assembly could not be found or could not be loaded" "The customization does not have the required permissions to execute." Therefore, I need to grant access to a server folder where the document and the assembly will be located.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Temporarily Registering ActiveX Control

  We have an application that runs off a CD and uses an ActiveX control stored in a DLL (or .ocx, does not really matter). The CD is to be run on the client's computer, and the client may not necessarily have administrator privileges. Is there a way to temporarily register the ActiveX control for the duration of the application Basically do something like "regsvr32" on the DLL while the app is running, and "regsvr32 /u" on exit. Basically we would like to force the ActiveX Control (identified by a CLASSID) to load from a particular DLL, and that DLL is on the CD. Have a look at this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973913.aspx -- SvenC ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 protected mode hWnd problem

  hello, i'm trying to get the hWnd of a IWebBrowser2 control. if i'm working on xp, everything is ok. but with Vista - things different. hWnd returned is not valid. (IsWindow - fails) any ideas why It seems to me that because if you run iexplorer.exe in Protected mode, it runs ieuser.exe and it runs in its turn iexplorer.exe (with another Process ID). It seems that the hWnd is not of the second process... How can i solve this Hi there, Sorry for the delay in replying. As I understand it, the problem you running into occurs after the call to Navigate. When this is finished, a new instance of protected mode iexplore is started to handle the request. As a result, the spWebBrowser pointer is now d ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why can't I inherit from InvokeWebServiceActivity?

• Visual Studio SourceSafe integration and "Show Differences" dialog

  Having successfully developed a C#-usercontrol "VSSBrowser" using VSS OLE Automation, I was sad to see that it's impossible to invoke "Show Differences", "View/Edit" and "Properties" dialogs via OLE. And that's the last thing left to get a fully functional control. I googled a bit and found out that "Microsoft SourceSafe SCC Provider" (SSSCC.DLL) should be used to invoke those dialogs. I examined this DLL with "Dependency Walker" and seems I even found the necessary functions; at least two of them - SccDiff ans SccProperties. The problem is that I have no idea of how to use this API in my C# project. I couldn't find any samples or articles in the Net; at the same time I remember t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Recreate TFS site

  We were having troubles adding components to an existing TFS project so I thought I could delete the site and recreate it to the basic template. Is there a way to recreate the sharepoint / WSS again based on an existing TFS site We have files in source control so it will be difficult to create a new team project and migrate to the new project. Does anyone have any suggestions Thanks From Dennis Habib: One thing that can be done is to create a new top level site collection with the same name as the project, manually create the document libraries, then copy/paste the files from the process template into the appropriate document libraries using Windows Explorer. ...Show All

• SQL Server OLEDB Destination Error in SSIS Package not returning error column/desc

  I have a SSIS package that reads data from a dump table, runs a custom script that takes date data and converts it to the correct format or nulls and formats amt fields to currency, then inserts it to a new table. The new table redirects insert errors. This process worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. I am processing just under 6 million rows, with 460,000 or so insert errors that did give error column and code. Now, I am getting 1.5 million errors. and nothing has changed, to my knowledge.

• .NET Development Porting part of a large COM+ application to .net

  I'm a litle currious that I can't find anything on this subject in the forum. There should have been written lots of COM+ application, and it's very unlikely that they all are trown away, just because .net is the current technology now. Anybody have any experince with using COM+ component in a .net application (It's simple enough - in teory - but reality usally is not so simple. Is this the right forum to ask such a question BTW Thanks for your answeere. We have problems with a 3. party com component that we can not get to register, and this is used all over the application.
