• Software Development for Windows Vista ActiveX installation

  We have an application that periodically downloads and installs new updates and plug-ins that can be implemented as ActiveX controls. Once ActiveX control is downloaded it is registered and plugged into application's components. Does the application need to elevate to administrator privileges to perform this operation or there are some settings where admin can allow standard user to install and register ActiveX controls coming from specific place ActiveX Installer Service provides mechanism that lets administrators define the Host URLs from which standard users can install ActiveX controls. Can we use this service programmatically (without IE7) Thanks for any help you can provide. Dmitry. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Manifest does NOT work,

  Hi, I have attached a manifest to a dll, which is loaded (I assume) with a LoadLibrary call. The library has a manifest attached with mt -manifest mfst.manifest -outputresource:.\ServiceControl.DLL;#2 The manifest contents are shown below (I have tried v2, and v3). What happens is that OpenSCManager fails anyway with a %$&*(@% permission denied even though I have asked that the privileges be made higher. My ServiceControl DLL is a plugin to a third party application that I would rather not run as administrator, although with the trouble I am having I am thinking of suggesting that my users just turn UAC off. < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " UTF-8 " standalone = " yes " > &l ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA - Microsoft lack of vision

  Its real sad that Microsoft, once again, shows this lack of vision for a games development tool: 1: Get visual: Don't force users to write such a lot of code to do just very little. It reminds the Charles Petzold's "Hello Window" hell of code days. 2: Provide visual tools: Let users choose the components, change their properties and write just the required code for the events. 3: Quick development means quick prototype and minimum learning curve. XNA has a lot of things to learn. Definetively it is NOT for students and hobbists. We will have to wait until someone encapsulates XNA framework into a group of visual components, that can be easily drag & dropped, inspected and tested very easily without having to learn lots of n ...Show All

• Visual C# Converting a string to an object reference?

  Hey guys, I have a text box thats named texBox1. I need to get this text box's text, of course using textBox1.Text but the problem is the name of the text box is defined by a variable... If MyVariable == 1, then I need textBox1, if the variable is equal to 2, then I need textBox2... etc. So to fix this, I tried converting to to a string; "textBox" + MyVariable.ToString() This works ok, I now have a string of the name of the desired text box. But how do I access its text from a string I'd need to transform it in some kind of reference to textBox1 from the string :s. The only to do this that I can see is String.System.IConvertible but I dont understand its working. So if anyone had any idea how to do this, it would be apreciated. T ...Show All
