• Windows Forms deploy activex via msi instead of cab

  I have a old ActiveX that we deploy via a .cab file from our website. However, one of our customers needs a MSI so they can do a remote deploy to their workstations. The current .cab file has a .inf file which stores the classid and information about the files to be deployed. I can add those files to my current vs2003 deployment project, but how do I assign those files the classID specified in the .inf file please advise -Smit. If you add the OCX to the setup&deployment project, then in the properties you can just set the property to vsdrfCOM and it will collect the registration entries into the MSI file to add them during the install. Does the inf file name any dependent Dlls that need to be installed A .dep file Choose the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with using iostream

  Hi there I downloaded Visual C++ Express and the Win Server PSDK. Now I try to write some small command-line apps. I want to use iostream.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How: Animation when item of a ListView gets removed through data binding?

  I have a ListView which shows elements from an ObservableCollection through data binding. My business logic, which contains the ObservableCollection, fills the collection with data and removes some elements when a specific time expires. The UI then updates with the sudden disappearance of the removed element. Unfortunately this is not my desired behavior as I want the removed element to be animated before it gets dropped but I don't know how to do this. Can anyone help me out on this problem Thanks in advance! Well, ultimately, whatever logic you have for removing objects from your databound collection is going to have to handle this. Which is unfortunate, really, because that logic probably shouldn't have anything to do with UI. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Memory / speed issues with loading text file into SQL express database

  I put together a sub to stream a text file into a database using vb.net express and sql server express editions. The text file is about 1.5GB and consists of about 2 million rows which will be parsed into 122 columns. I setup the database with 123 columns, the last column being an autonumbered index. Each of the columns has a maxlength set to the width of the data in the text file, and I use that maxlength along with the mid function to parse the data. It all works fine, but I wanted to get some opinions as to the structure of the code to see if there's anything I could do to optimize it. It took about half an hour to load up 37,000 lines, which means I'd need to run it for a full day to get the file loaded. I also have 3 additional fil ...Show All

• .NET Development ADO.Net 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express & VB 2005 Express: How to Use A DataAdapter to Create DataTables in VB Forms?

  Hi all, In my SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express (SSMSE), I created a database "ChemDatabase" with 3 .dbo tables. In my VB 2005 Express, I created a VB 2005 Express Windows Application project (called it "AveRpd" ) and tried to use ADO.Net 2.0 to connect the database "ChemDatabase" that is in SSMSE and to create the 3 tables in the App_Data folder of the "AveRpd" project as a DataSet for my Windows Application. I studied the .NET Framwork Developer's Guide "Populating a DataSet from a DataAdapter" in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bh8kx08z.aspx , but I could not understand this article and the "Console Application" source code used in this article confused me g ...Show All
