Also is there information about file versions kept with shelvesets Thanks See my post in another thread for a way to find a file's changeset version in a shelveset. ...Show All

• .NET Development E-Mail Program

  I am making an e-mail program with 3 forms. One is the "Main" form, another is a fullscreen window called "webView" that shows the e-mail in full view, and the last one is called "AccountInfo" which I hoped to use for the users account information such as the server, username, and password, and if the users account requires an SSL connection. I just don't know how to incorporate it with the main form. I don't know if I should save all of that data into a text file as soon as the user clicks the OK button. I need help please. Yes that is correct however, right now I only wish to be able to receive emails for now. I will upgrade this program later. I have a serperate form just for the us ...Show All

• Visual C# Running a console app from Windows Service

  I'm building an application which uses the console interface of the Nokia Multimedia Converter and passing in switches to control the resultant file. I can currently run this in 2 ways: 1. Straight from the command line (manually). Using this method it takes about 4 seconds to complete. 2. Running an application which starts the Converter as a new Process and passes in the switches through the command line arguments method. This requires a similar amount of time to 1. However, I actually want to run the app as a Windows Service. When I start the Converter off as a new Process from within the Service and pass the switches/arguments (exactly the same code as used in 2) it can take up to a minute to return the resultant file. Can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Debugging environment

  In VB6 and the old visual studio (and I am told also in Visual Studio 2005) there is a capability to run an application in the debugging environment and start another app that might be used with this one. I do not see the option to start another app on the VB express debug tab. The app I am building is a class library (dll) and will run with the other main application which is an exe. I did this all the time in VB6 to debug the program, although then the program was an exe. Project + properties, Debug tab, select Start external program. Hopefully available also in the VBE edition... ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development One Instance of Band Object

  Is it possible I have a vertical band object that plays an mp3 file... If newwindow2 pops another window....when closed...it will also stop my mp3. I have code to stop the mp3 in my quit event. TIA It appears that they are javascript windows... If I use cancel = true....(NewWindow2 Event)...it will cancel the window. But I'd rather open it ...in the existing explorer window to avoid this new window "attaching" to the band object. Or just have one instance of my band object. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DDS : 360, PC

  Will DDS files that are created for PC work with the 360 is there not some subtle difference between the two or is this something that will be patched up via the XNA runtimes on the 360 upon asset loading That would be fine if it was assumed that the included textures were png's, tga's or whatever, but if you were to add your own DXT's then it may be a problem, the only reason I'm asking at all is because I prefer if it was an option to use the nvidia dxt compressor, mainly because with the textures I use it produces less visual artifacts than when I've used the MS one (outside XNA) so, I just wanted to know if we did use outside DXT compression, would the same data work with PC and Xbox360, so I can basi ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView frustration

  I have been searching for the past couple of days for articles on the CheckBox in a DataGridView and I haven't found anything that is remotely helpful (at least to me). I want to allow the user to check the CheckBox in the first cell of a row. Then, when a button is clicked, I want the app t loop thru the rows in the GridView and when a CheckBox has a value of checked, the code will update the values of two other cells in that row. I hit the "last straw" when I went to this site (MSDN) and thought I had finally found a solution. But nope, the C# example shows how to perform a foreach loop on the rows of a DataGridView control http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewrow(VS.80).aspx So ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changed Underlying Table Structure -- How to Update Project Dataset?

  VS 2k5 using VB I'm still designing my Windows app and have made some changes to the underlying tables (keys, relationships). I can't seem to find a way to update the dataset in my project with the new table info. I created the db/tables in SQL Express. In Data Sources, I've tried using "Configure Dataset with Wizard" and "Refresh" to see if it will update the dataset with the new info. It goes through the motions, but the new table structure/info seems to be ignored. So far, the only thing that seems to work is to delete the dataset from my project and then add the db/tables again as a new data source... or, if I've only made changes to only one or two tables, I can just delete those tables from the dataset and add the ...Show All
