• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Opening a URL to a new browser instance

  Quick question... is the WPF recommended way to launch a URL in a new browser instance still to do this I'm just wanting the URL to open in IE or whatever default browser is used. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url); Or is there something new that is better Yes, that way you ensure the shell instantiates whichever browser happens to be the default on that box. If you don't require a new Browser instance for the navigation, and want to keep the user in the same application context, you can do for example System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationService.GetNavigationService(this).Navigate(new Uri(@" http://www.microsoft.com ")); (where this is used to get the navigation container). Note: either approach won't ...Show All

• Visual Basic using NonSerializedAttribute class with Visual Basic events

  I am having a problem serializing an object, in that it has events, which are handled by event handler methods in an instance of UserControl. Thus, when the object is serialized, those events are serialized, along with references to their handlers, which makes it try to serialize the UserControl instance, which cannot be serialized (even if it could I wouldn't want to). Apparently you can't just use <NonSerialized()> on an event. I saw the following example in C# on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.nonserializedattribute.aspx: "To apply the NonSerializedAttribute class to an event, set the attribute location to field, as shown in the following C# code. [field:NonSerializedAttribute()] public event ChangedEventHand ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Which SDK to use for Indexing Service Integration?

  I am developing a custom search engine for my .NET website that I want to integrate with the Microsoft Indexing Service. After doing some research, I found that I can really do it one of two ways; by manually creating the index using the windows programs and making SQL Statement calls to the Indexing Service, or by developing my own class library that will allow me to manage (create/delete) indexes on-the-fly, run searches, and use filters. I would like to build my own class library in VB.NET. After doing my research, I found the following info on using the Indexing Service libraries in C, C++, or VB. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692211.aspx I see that there is an SDK for just about everything, but I am having probl ...Show All

• Visual Basic List Folderames in a folder

  How do I list the names of all the folders inside another folder you would pretty much do a string parsing process: Dim theFolders() as String theFolders = Directory.GetDirectories( path ) for each currentFolder as string in theFolders Me.theListBox.Items.Add(currentFolder.SubString(currentFolder.LastIndexOf("\")) next that should do it hopefully. Another way would be: Path.GetDirectoryName(currentFolder) in the for each loop does this help ...Show All

• .NET Development Interop Thread Leak?

  Hi, I'm hoping for a few pointers for tracking down a resource leak. I developed a VB 2.0 indexing application which is using FileNet's Capture COM objects and we're occasionally seeing a fairly serious leak. It doesn't appear to happen consistently (one user has never had one and I can't seem to reproduce it in my test environment), but it does occur regularly in production. I've been using various tools to poke around in a mini-dump (w/ full memory) and I've seen a few potential problem areas, but I can't seem narrow it down any further. Using PerfMon I found that the leak appears to be in private unmanaged memory. When I open the dump in WinDbg, I get this message: This dump file has an exception of interest stored in it ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflows on .Net Framework 2 vs .Net Framework 3

  We are looking into doing Workflows with a MOSS 2007 implementation. I have read a bit and downloaded the Beta 2.2 components and the VS 2005 Extensions for developing these. My question is how does this all fit in with the new Workflow stuff coming out in the .Net Framework 3 (aka WinFX) I read that this will run on Windows XP, Server 2003 along with it packaged with Windows Vista but I am very confused. Are these Beta 2.2 versions early versions of the new stuff coming out but built to run on the .Net 2 framework currently or will there be a real release for the 2 framework and the New Vista stuff come out later running on the .Net 3 framework What are the go live options for these (I think I saw something on this I will check) bu ...Show All
