• Software Development for Windows Vista RecipePropertyHandler SDK sample - no index integration ?

  Hi all, After installing the latest Vista SDK and building the RecipePropertyHandler sample I have the following problem : The information in the sampe .recipe file will now show up in explorer - as extra preview fields and as property fields etc., but this information is not searchable by index, which I had assumed it to be. Is there something I must do in order to make the indexer pick up my .recipe file and index the defined properties I have added the file extension to the indexer from control panel, but it made no difference.... The propertyhandler dll is NOT locked by any processes (as I would have thought it would be), so I have the feeling that the indexing service never picks it up..... Thanx in advance Ole ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What is the equivalent of the ProjectInstaller.cs class?

  I am working on a windows service and I am not sure what the equivalent of the ProjectInstaller.cs class is for the 2.0 framework. Is there any example code out there for creating a windows service using the 2.0 framework. Thanks I don't think the C# Express edition has the Windows Service option - another limitation of the express editions :-) you could create one from scratch using notepad and compiling it using the VC# compiler in the .NET Framework directory in Windows, compiler names csc.exe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build Fails from Jan 01 2007. Versioning issue!! :-(

  Is it just me, or isn't the notion of versioning defaulted to by the AssemblyInfoTask http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegallery/releases/viewuploads.aspx id=93d23e13-c653-4815-9e79-16107919f93e  fundamentally flawed. Assuming major.max.build.revision. Everyone using this task, including Microsoft, seems to be using the strategy that the build number is specified to be DateString with a format of yymmdd, you get something like 061117 on the day of this post or the following if we accept the defaults: 1.0.061117.00 First of all, the actual number (since it gets converted to an integer) becomes 1.0.61117.0 when it gets compiled.  Most importantly, if this was next year (2007) at this time, you get assemblyinfo files u ...Show All

• Visual C# Newbie question - How to run a command line application using C#

  Hi, A couple of questions; 1) I need to open WordPad using C#. How do I go about doing this 2) I would like to populate the WordPad application with text. Is there a way of doing this using the command line or otherwise Thanks. Thanks for your responses. Just to complicate things; The reason why I need to use wordpad as a display and not, say, a textbox is because the data source (which is a file originally sourced from a mainframe) contains special characters. The application can handle these characters in a char array or a byte array. However, whenever the character is encountered in a string variable, the application seems to treat it as an escape character. The characters have a H ...Show All
