• Windows Forms TreeView doesn't cancel user check

  Hi, I have a tree view which holds directories and the state if the content is installed or not. The user should not change the state of the CheckBox - this is done by code. But if the user clicks quick enough (first double click is the encounter of this behaviour) the checkbox changes its state. This is my code to test that: private void tvDirectories_BeforeCheck(object sender, TreeViewCancelEventArgs e) { e.Cancel = true; } With this code - I cannot set the checkbox with code. But the user can that (after first double click). What's wrong with this code Thanks in advance. This is documented behavior of the .NET ListView control. It is on the "to fix" list but without a ETA ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Snippets with vb.net express

  I am trying to create a custom snippet (of a set of statements that I retype and retype). I looked up the subject under the help menus in vb.net express and got the following set of commands to start the progress. I'm a little lost. There is no new menu under file (just new project). I have looked under project templates and also new item templates and cannot find an xml file option.

• Visual Studio Dynamic Graphic Location does not work

  I use Visual Studio 2005 with Crystal Reports, and have a 'path' field where I store the absolute path of some images. I used the Graphic Location formula to change the image path for every record, as follows: formula = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\v2\catalogimages\"+{TestReport.Κωδικ : prodid}+"_1.jpg" The path is correct. When I use the same path in Explorer I get the image. However, when I run my report the image does not refresh and I see the default image (as if the file is not found) For testing reasons, I have also set the image to be a hyperlink pointing to a file using the same formula with the exact path, and when I click the image I get the correct image! How can I refresh the image object to show the correct image ...Show All

• Windows Forms Prerequisite not working?

  I'm trying to build a setup for my application using a Windows Installer project. I'm using VS2005. My Windows application requires SQL Server 2005 Express, so I marked that as one of the prerequisites. I built the installer successfully and ran it on one computer running XP. It successfully detected that neither .net 2.0 or SQL Server 2005 Express were installed and installed both of them before installing my application. My application ran just fine and life was good. I then took the exact same setup.exe and setup.msi and ran them on another computer - also running XP. It didn't attempt to install either of the prerequisites, and seemed to successfully install my application. As soon as my app was launched though it failed with " ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is there a recommended standard name for a C++/CLI member function to free resources?

  I have just been learning about finalizers in C++/CLI and saw quite a bit of sample code that duplicated the same resource-freeing code in both the destructor and finalizer. It seems obvious to me that I should put the resource-freeing code in a single place -- another private member function (see sample code at the end of this message). So I have to questions: Am I doing the correct thing in this sample code Am I missing any important concept Is there a recommended standard name for the C++/CLI member function to free resources Many thanks for your help! - Kevin Hall ref class Resource { private: // Is there a recommended standard // name for this member function void FreeResources() { Console:: ...Show All

• SQL Server xp_cmdshell and activation

  We are trying to use xp_cmdshell commands in service broker. If I kick off the process without activation, the process succeeds. If I enable activation, the tasks with xp_cmdshell fail.
