C# 2.0 I generate the report and all is OK but when the user try to print (print button in toolbar), the application open the printdialog, I select the printer and press Ok.

But you have to click on the box and do something first. That shifts the focus. ...Show All

• Visual C# Performance Monitor Counters and Windows Vista

  I am trying to connect to a Windows Vista machine from my Windows XP SP2 machine to read the performance counter data using C#, but I am unable to connect. Even using "perfmon" in windows won't connect, but I can connect to file shares on the Vista machine just fine. Has Vista changed something in this regard so remote computers can connect to collect performance data, or am I doing something wrong in my code or in perfmon The error I receive when I try to connect is "cannot connect to machine" - not very helpful. Thanks, Jon I have the firewall service disabled for testing, and I am still unable to connect. I have tried connecting from a Windows XP SP2 PC and a Windows Vista PC, but both of them won't connect. Does anyone have an id ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Creating a Website Project on Team Foundation

  I have a problem with creating a website project on Team Foundation. The problem I am having is, how do I tell source control where to test the actual project For example, I want to edit the files locally, add them to source control, which adds them to the database as well as puts them back in a website directory for testing. How do I configure this If you are doing individual development then you can test your project in Visual Studio itself. VS2005 provides a harness to do that. In case you are in a team doing the development then you will have to check your files in and then checkout the entire set of .aspx files, code behind files etc. on a web server and then do the testing there. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to use this API :StartServiceCtrlDispatcher

  hi. API: StartServiceCtrlDispatcher This API use to run services. but i cant use it in vb6. Please help me. Payman wrote: This API use to run services. but i cant use it in vb6. Just to be clear, StartServiceCtrlDispatcher doesn't run a service. Rather it is called by the service implementation to associate a ServiceMain function with a Service Name. If you really want to implement a service in Visual Basic, you might find it easier to use Visual Basic .NET and the ServiceBase class. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.serviceprocess.servicebase.aspx If Visual Basic .NET is not an option, there is an old article in the archives that describes one way to implement a servi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial Port. Problems in Storing received data

  Hello everybody. I'm still on the same project: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=714917&SiteID=1 It is quite easy to convert a byte array to a string. This is actually what our small program does! The Receiver subroutrine takes each received byte and convert the two nibbles (4-bit) to Char and store these in a Char array (RXArray). It then converts the used part of the array to a string by means of the "Dim RXString As New String(RxArray, 0, I)" statement. You only need to copy this code, but use the byte array for input instead of RXByte (conversion done later instead of "on the fly"). Then you will be able to display your array as hexadecimal characters. Hexadecimal characters are the best for test purpose, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint - Link child schedules (MS Project files) to a Master schedule (MS Project)

  Does sharepoint have the ability to link one file to another. eg: MS project schedules. Uploading a schedule that has links to other schedules does not seem to be work even if the child schedules are in Share point. Can anyone advise how this can be done As I am sure there must be a way. It would be no different to an excell file linking to other files. This forum is dedicated to the administration of the Team Foundation Server product. While we do use Sharepoint to help present information about team projects, I think the folks over on the Sharepoint newsgroups may have a better handle on the linking capabilities of Sharepoint.
