• .NET Development How to Zip files within a folder?

  In my application multiple reports are generated and saved on server. I want to zip all these reports and keep a link on webpage so that user can download this zip. But I am not able to figure out a way to zip the files programatically..Please help me...thanks in advance.. Hi,   if you are using .Net 2.0 or above you can use the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream to compress/decompress your data, see: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.gzipstream.aspx   Mark. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there any way to make GetItems NOT to return itself as a child?

  Hi, when I do a GetItems it returns the list of child Items for a particular path in TFS. However, it returns also itself. Is there a way for this NOT to happen Thanks Little tips like this one are unlikely to appear in the official docs. I'll tell you how I found it: I ran tf dir foo\* from a tf.exe window that had logging enabled, then looked at the SOAP call. The wildcard was passed directly to the server, so I knew it would work for the API too. ...Show All

• .NET Development Possible to register a C# program to the R.O.T. for OLE automation?

  Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to "register" your own created c# program for OLE automation This would be the equivalent of accessing something in Excel via OLE. Like: Dim ExcelApp As Object ExcelApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application") Edit: and just to clarify, I understand how the GetActiveObject works (by looking up the object in the Running Object Table). I guess I need to know if it is possible to register a program with the Running Object Table. That probably is my problem then, because the Namespace and class are not listed under the COM tab. Corey Edit: I modified my code to: [ComVisible(true)]     [Guid("{6C3CCB0E-8968-4724-A ...Show All

• Visual C++ static const member variable initialization

  Hi, I want to initialize a member variable of a class by calling RegisterWindowMessage and i want to keep this variable as static so that this variable is initialized only once during the execution of the program. When i declare the variable as static, i am getting an error which says that only const static variables can be initialized within a class. When i make the variable as static const, i get the following error - Error 11 error C2057: expected constant expression I think this is because the value i am assigning to the variable is the value which the function RegisterWindowMessage will return and this will not be a const value. Could anyone please suggest a way out of this. Thanks in Anticipation, With regards, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Runtime requirements for published application

  Hi! I am a newbie to VB.net and I am currently busy working on one of my first projects. As I am nearing the end, a few questions have dawned on me. One of them is what the requirements are when I want to distribute one of my applications. I have used a few .NET references in my application, therefore: is it neccessary for the user to install the complete .NET framework 2.0 for the application to work properly Is there perhaps a smaller, "run-time" package (or something like that), that I can include with my application Thanks Johannes The entire .net framework needs to be installed on target computers for your application to run....you can download the redistributable package here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/de ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Enormous number of items to scan

  My indexing status shows 25,000,000 items left to scan and 19,000 indexed so far. I have chosen to index Outlook and My Documents (nothing unusually large about either). Is there a way to troubleshoot this I've resolved the issue by uninstalling WDS. I found that the disk queue length was permanently high until I stopped searchindexer.exe. What is irritating is that I now cannot search in Outlook, nor can I load Lookout anymore in Outlook 2007. Maddening. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem opening Excel Attachments

  I can open all types of work item attachments through the work item form without a problem, except for Excel.

• Windows Forms Fake key press

  Can I cause a form to simulate the tab key being pressed. And in faking this press will the focus switch and all the things that go along with it. Basically when I press the tab key the first time some things on the form change, such as UICues, etc ... and I want this to be done without the user actually having to press the key. Any suggestiongs, the RaiseKeyEvent does not do it. you *could* use SendKeys to send "keystrokes" to the application which has focus, so you could send the TAB key. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.aspx but this would send the keystroke to the application that has a foreground focus. when this tab key is pressed in your application, have you implement ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Parsing SearchTags

  I've just recently gotten into development with the Live Search web service. I've already encountered a problem. The Result.SearchTags property is documented as having individual tags delimited by a comma. But, if a search tag contains a comma, it's not escaped in any way; which blows parsing SearchTags right out of the the water. For example, there's a meta tag at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=542568&SiteID=1 in the form: <meta name="Search.MSForums.ThreadName" content="Process.BeginOutputReadLine() just fires events all at once, not in real-time! "> The comma causes anything parsing the tags to think "not in real-time! " is a tag all its own. ...Show All
