• Software Development for Windows Vista How Vista detects antispyware or firewall from third-party firms?

  And what I must do to Vista detect my program as antispyware I search in web, but not find answer. Thank you very much From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883792 Q: How does Windows Security Center detect third-party products and their status A: Windows Security Center uses a two-tiered approach for detection status. One tier is manual, and the other tier is automatic through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). In manual detection mode, Windows Security Center searches for registry keys and files that are provided to Microsoft by independent software manufacturers. These registry keys and files let Windows Security Center detect the status of independent software. In WMI ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to cascade filters (BindingSource or DataView component)?

  Hello there, I have written a big control that has a DataSource property where you can assign a BindingSource. This control itself is made of several other controls that also consume this BindingSource (it is assigned to their DataSource property). My problem is that for example I want the outer control to filter by data rows where the "company" column has a specific value. In an inner control then (which uses the filtered BindingSource) I want to filter the same data one more time by another criteria. However, setting the Filter-property of its BindingSource (which is bound to the one of the outer control) will also set the filter of the outer BindingSource, to the effect that the resulting filter is not "company = x ...Show All

• .NET Development Vista and .Net 1.1

  Hello, I have the task of putting a machine build together for the Vista OS. One of the applications used by my company is a desktop management application. The install of which requires .Net 1.1 if it does not find it fails and will not install. Is is safe to install .Net 1.1 on top of vista which as I understand already has 3.0. Yes, it is safe to install the .NET Framework 1.1 on Windows Vista. All versions of the .NET Framework (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0) are designed to install and run side-by-side on the same system. Thanks!

• Visual Basic How can we see other applications open in windows and know when they are minimized or maximized

  Hi everyone I need to know if there is a way i can see other applications open in windows and know when they are minimized or maximized. So basically if there are five applications open like outlook, excel, word, a bowser, etc. How can i see this in vb.net code Is it possible then to know when that form is minimzied or maximized (event) Thanks in advance :) Hi, sorry no, I don't have any examples, I use SetWindowPos plenty, but not getWindowPos. In fact I'm not entirely sure that it will do what you need, but I do remember I have used it before to see if a window is minimised, so it must be possible! I doubt very much you can trap a minimeze event before it happens, the best you can do would be to have a tight loop ...Show All

• Visual Basic Validate textstring as DateTime

  Hello , Can this be done in VB2005Xpress Form elements: one TextBox, one Label (TextBox is used to receive Birthdate input, Label displays "<1", "1" "the age which is calculated from Today's Date - Birthdate" or " "). The age formula and the If statement for "<1", "1", "age" and " " is done. Here the TextBox is the choice for Birthdate entry. It is the most cost effective. DatePicker is excellent choosing a future date where the user want to be sure that the Day picked out do not fall for example on Sunday.

• Visual Basic optimise the project -> Exe finally

  What a are the steps to optimize the project so that it should be lightweighted [PE file] Thanks in advance.... well remove any duplicate code, make sure you are doing things efficiently and not creating your own way of doing things if the .NET Framework has a class that does it for you, or a combination of classes. Make sure that you are not P/Invoking as much as this can degrade performance and generally the functions are "managed" in the .NET Framework classes. Take advantage of using SQL Server stored procedures if your application is dealing with SQL Server and only open the connection when you need to as connections to databases, and executing queries etc... is expensive so be sure that you are not constantly open ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is it possible to change the Logo of my custom plug-in in the VS About form?

  We use VSPackage to package our plugin which includes some special features on the VS.NET Menu. After the installation, our plugin will appear in the about screen of VS.NET. Is it possible to change the logo associating with our plug-in in this screen I am not sure about VS packages but for add-ins there are two registry entries: AboutBoxDetails AboutIconData Check the docs about them: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/19dax6cz(VS.80).aspx There should be something similar and more for packages in the SDK docs, because packages can add icons to the splash screen while add-ins can't. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How do I open CSV using Excel without deleting leading zeros?

  Hello, Whenever I open up a CSV file or a Text file, Excel treats string like 05710 as a number and turn it into 5710. How do I open up a CSV file and still keep the leading zeros Thank you very much. One way to divine the inner workings of any office document and how to manage it via the interops is to record a macro of the process needed. Once done examine the vba code, it will show settings changes and other items of interest that can lead the way through the tribal knowledge of the interops. If no one has an answer...try posting it in the Discussions in Office Development or for a better responses or Discussions in Automation forum for interop questions. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Questions about ActivityValidator

  I created a custom ActivityValidator to ensure that a property has a valid value. For example, I have property called Tag that is of type int that must be set to a value greater than 0. In my custom validator i check that condition and return appropriate errors. However, I run into issues when compiling my custom activity library. The default value for an int is obviously 0 so when I try to compile my library I get compile errors as my activities do not validate. I assumed that the activities would only be validated when they are in a workflow but it seems that they are validated when compiling my activity library project. I have a couple questions. 1. Am I using ActivityValidator correctly 2. If so, are my assumptions wrong 3. How can I a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IGraphBuilder vs FilgraphManager

The C# application renders the HD mpeg file just fine and the C++ programs gives me the following error "An invalid media type was specified.".

• Visual Studio Team System Error connecting to report server

  After installing TFS SP1 Beta, I had troubles getting the SharePoint and reporting services working. So I thought I would back out and start over. At this point, everything is working except for reporting. Whenever I try to navigate to http://localhost/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx , I get the following: "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." Where do I start looking for the cause of this I've already double-checked the reporting services configuration, and everything appears to be OK. Any ideas It could be due to a bug in .NET frameworks 1.1.
