• Visual Studio Team System Saving attachments

  To save an attachment you have to open it and then save it from within the application that has opened the attachment. In my experiences, IExplorer is always opening the attachments and sometimes failes to do so. For example: opening xml files for which the specified schema can not be found. Also for other file types like .jpg I rather want to save the files than open them in IE. I tried to change the file type associations as explained in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905703/en-us , but no luck. (What's more, for file types for which I changed the default open-application, the Advanced button is missing in the 'Details for .. extension' dialog. Only after pressing the 'Restore' button I can select 'Advanced' and then check/uncheck 'Conf ...Show All

• Windows Forms User Customizable Forms

  We’re starting to write a new application that in part is very similar to Microsoft InfoPath. There will be a form designer module that will allow the user to create their own data capture forms. I’ve written a similar application before that just added controls to a form as it loaded. Unfortunately this time round that is going to be too slow. Can anyone think of a better way of doing this I’ve thought about possibly making the designer program create an assembly from the form somehow and then get the client to load that assembly. But I can’t find a way of saving a form to an assembly Any assistance would be appreciated ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2 Instances of UserControl on Form Each In its own Thread?

  I have a User control that does some heavy Database work, I have two of them on the form, (a source and destination) being that they pull from different servers, I wanted to beable to let each one load at the same time, I'm not new to threading, but I'm no Expert. I tried putting Attributes on the UserControl MTAThread() I tried changing the ApartmentState of the CurrentThread . I was hoping to find a more professional method, than putting a timer on the control and having the button enable the timer, which fires the Load method. (Load just fills a DataTable, but its Thousands to Millions of records) Any Guru's want to take a Stab at it -Thanks ThreadConfusion I'd like to hear those hundreds of re ...Show All

• Windows Forms load an image from resx

  I need to load an image from the resx that I added manually. I have found that when I add an image (.png) to the resx corresponding to my form, then the designer will remove them if it doesn't use them. I then tried to add my own resx file but don't know how to load from it. My own resx only contains the few images that I need and is not associated with a class. This is C++/CLI. So, if I were to want to use the same images many times through the life of my form, how should I pre-load them and store a reference to them System :: ComponentModel :: ComponentResourceManager ^ resources = ( gcnew System :: ComponentModel :: ComponentResourceManager ( /*something here*/ )); button_OK -> BackgroundImage = ( cli :: saf ...Show All

• SQL Server waittype NETWORKIO blocking spid on SQLServer 2000

  I have a series of processes being blocked - after running sp_blocker_pss80 I can see that the blocking spid is coming from a batch program that is issuing a 'sp_prepexec' event and has a waittype of NETWORKIO. It looks very like the problem fixed by hotfix: 884554 in SP4. The db is SQLServer 2000 and running the following command: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') GO Gives the result SP4 So I guess I have the hotfix but I'm still experiencing this problem. The event that is 'blocking' is a select statement on a large table. Running the same batch process on identical data in a test environment doesn't give the same problem. I'm not certain that other processing on the test environment is identical though so it is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Emulator 2.0 error opening images with mapped COM port

  I am successully using the WM 5.0 MSF emulator to run TomTom5 (much larger picture than my PDA...). A bit slow and erratic to start (need 5 or 5 tries to start the image), but once started, it works. My question: since everyone says that 2.0 is faster and more stable, I installed it; problem is, it cannot open my images with the COM port once mapped (it opens fresh images with no mapped COM port) - same problem on my laptop, and 2 PCs. Problem both with bluetooth serial port and a wired GPS. Error #1: "Unable to open serial port "COM6" LastError=Access denied." Error #2: "The device emulator coud not start, possiblyif incorrect statup parameters" Any suggestion I would appreciate any help. ...Show All
