• Windows Forms "Specified <entryPoint> is not valid" while reading Application manifest?

  Hi all, I'm trying to deploy a .Net 1.1 application using ClickOnce. All clients have .Net 2.0 installed (on which the 1.1 application runs fine), its just that the client code *has* to be built on the 1.1 platform. Hence, I can't use VS2005 to generate the manifest and deployment files for me, because it will cause the client code to be built for .Net 2.0 before generating the manifest and deployment files. So I figured I should use the Manifest Generator tool (mage.exe / mageui.exe) to generate these files for me, since it doesn't require my code to be rebuilt first. This seemed to work pretty well: just have Mage create a .exe.manifest file that contains all assemblies used by my application, and then have it create a deployment f ...Show All

• .NET Development Error: Could not update; currently locked by user...

  To all, I created an application in Visual Studio 2005 using C++ that transfers data from an SQL Server 2000 database to an Access 2003 database. During this transfer, particularly when alot of records are selected, I get the error: Could not update; currently locked by user 'admin' on machine 'GSANTIN' I know I am the only one accessing the Access database. The error occurs whether the Access database is on our network or on the C drive. Let me describe the data transferred. The smallest transfer would involve the analytical data from one wafer. There are 4 tables appended in the transfer. The first table, Lot, will add only one record to the table. The second table, Statistics, adds one record. The third table, Site, adds a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing Remote Computer's Information

  Okay, I'm creating a Visual Basic .NET 2005 Windows Service. I need it to periodically access some remote servers for their information. Right now, I'm working with drive information, so I'm trying to get the total space and the amount remaining on the drive of the remote server. How do I go about doing that I'm trying to keep this service centrally located so that it can access 3 separate servers without loading and configuring it individually. I tried My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo() and System.IO.DriveInfo, but, predictably, they only access local drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I wasn't being too mean in my last post... I was just imagining someone asking for advice about b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Another "Which TFS to buy?"

  I have to put together for my manager a list of which products to buy for a group of 10 developers, one of whom also does double-duty as an architect. Reading all the product comparisons and pricing is confusing, to say the least. I know I need TFS. That's a given. My issue is with all the VSTS role-versions and the respective cost. What is the best (read: least expensive) combination of products that will give us full TFS functionality How does VS2005 Pro with a TFS CAL compare to VSTS for Developers Do I really need to buy the full VSTS for Developers for each developer Each of those licenses comes with MSDN Premium. Why would I want a copy of MSDN for every developer OK, enough of the stream of consciousness. It would be great ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Best Practices: Deploying new workflow instance

  Are there any best practices for deploying new / modified workflows For example, assume that I create a state machine workflow, with version number 1.0.0.0, and I deploy it. Then my application comes along and creates instances of this workflow, and not all instances are complete. Then at some point later, I add a new activity to my workflow and make the version of the containing assembly = 1.0.1.0 and recompile the workflow assembly. How do I deploy this new version of the workflow and what happens to the still running workflows that were created under v 1.0.0.0 of the workflow assembly. When you deply version 1.0.1.0 nothing will happen to the version 1.0.0.0 workflows that are running. They wil ...Show All

• Visual Basic New guy question, how do I do this???

  Ok, so I'm fairly new to programming, especially in .NET and VB. Everything before this was in MATLAB for me since I'm an aerospace engineer. I'm trying to build an sizing program for compressors, and I'm building a unit conversion class to take care of the obvious problem of inputs coming in as different units. I've taken care of the basics, ie: length, force, energy, pressure, volume, etc..., but now I want to do combinations thereof. The way my code works is it takes a ByRef value for either a conversion factor (for the combinations, since temperatures aren't always an absolute scale) which is initially zero or whatever, or a ByRef value for what you're trying to convert, and the input units, and the output units. The units were crea ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WaitForSingleObject alwasy Object_0

  I have a case where my WaitForSingleObject is used by the root thread and Some other thread started by this root thread signals the Event object which WaitForSingleObject is waiting for. But the WaitForSingleObject seems always signaled regardles of the SetEvent function of the child thread. I have tried Manual or Auto Reset and the case is always the same and my Event is started as Non-signaled. Ye that might also be the case. But because this is the design of a Core Component I rather wanted to use dynamic names because in the future those names might be useful for some kind of Event check from other programs. Because I once realised that same named Events are accessed from also different processes. So I think might use this la ...Show All
