• Visual Studio Error Logon

• Visual Studio Express Editions Flash Button in WebBrowserControl - Must click outside of flash to work?!?!?!

  Hello, all. I am trying to use flash butoons within the webbrowser control, but for some reason, you must mouseclick outside of flash (anywhere on the surrounding html page) before the buttons will work. I have to click outside first before every single mouseclick of the flash button. Is there anyway to fix this Thanks. -kaanuki- After reading around, it appears that this is a bug in the webbrower control. The only current fix is to use the older AxWebBrowser Control. Tested this and it works perfectly. However, AxWebBrowser is very limited, as it cannot disable the right click context menu like vb2005 webbrowser can. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System tfpt treediff - I'm missing "Get specific version..."

  Hi, Using the treediff feature in tfpt, could often be done with the purpose of detecting files, deleted by mistake in the local folder. This is nicely detected, but to get the missing file from the server, "Get latest" isn't enough - you have to "Get specific version..." and force the get from the server. It would be nice to have this command in the treediff view! Regards, Carsten Upon further investigation, we feel that Get Specific Version is nice to have but Get Latest Version is much more often used. In the spirit of keeping TreeDiff simple, we'll refer that functionality back to the Source Control Explorer. Thank you for your feedback. -Tan ...Show All

• Windows Forms A challenge. Text to binary, and back.

  In my windows forms application I need to develop a method to convert a string to binary and then back again. This is going to be a simple way of user authentication to secure the data. Aside from that conversion I will be doing another conversion with it to secure it even further. The only part I need to know how to do is the binary to text and back. Here's my logic: User inputs password -> Converts to binary -> my conversion -> finalized password User retrieves password -> my conversion -> converts to string -> original password Okay, it displays the full byte array in the second text box like it is supposed to. Now I am having problems getting its string value from the text box content. (This binary data is goin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problems with writing data to an Excel file

  I searched online, and find some materials about exploring data to Excel using C#, however, it usually relates to ADO.NET or datagrid... In my application, first I receive data from the COM port and then after some comparation, I should write each data I received to the desired column of the excel file.. I use the streamwriter to write data to excel file using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter((@"C:\" + DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString()+".xls"),true)) As I need to record the date when the application runs, I have to name the file as the current date, so it is quite different from many examples to create a new Excel application as: private Excel.Application m_objExcel = null; m_objExcel = new Excel.Ap ...Show All

• Visual C# Create newline in text box?

  Is there a way to create a newline in a text box I have tried "\n" but this doen't work in a text box. Thanks, Make sure that the TextBox’s Multiline property is set to true before trying to add new line characters. As for the newline character(s) themselves... in Windows \r\n is the proper string however you should think about using Environment.NewLine as it is a little more... platform independent. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System get latest on checkout macro

  We just started using team system, and were switching over from vss. We're used to the vss get latest on check out way of working. I know there's a million reasons given as to why this is taken out in team system...but our team wants it to work the regular way (it's to the point where superiors will can the product if a workaround isn't found). It's currently our only draw back to fully using team systems for all internal projects. I posted the macro mentioned on other posts to accomplish this functionality below. My question is how do you set this up to work Does it work automatically when you check a file out Do you have to bind it to a button that you hit when you check it out Any help or solutions will be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

  Hi! I'm facing another problem. I need to migrate a VoIP application from a normal Windows application to a Smartphone.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Image displayed based on content type

  This is what I want to do and I want to know the best way to do it. I have defined a custom list A with six custom content types. I want to be able to link that list based on its content type with another list B that contains 2 fields (content type name and the url to an image of the content type). I do not want to have to select the image when creating the list item in list A because I have already selected to create an item of that specific content type. Additionally I do not really want the image url stored in the list A list item because I want the ability to change the url to the image for the item and then the view will change for all the items of that content type. Further I would like to be able to add another content type for list ...Show All
