• Smart Device Development STAThread can not be found, but where is it?

  Hi. I'm writing an application with Compact Framework 2.0 SP 1. I want to apply the [STAThread] attribute to the main method, but there seems to be no such attribute. I get offered the MTAThread attribute, but not STAThread. Of course, the compiler doesn't find either. It just seems to be missing in the referenced assembly (System.dll, Version 2.0.6129.0). I didn't find anything about this problem on the web, so could anybody help me, please I'm quite desperate. I already reinstalled the CF 2.0, no success. Nobody else seems to have had this problem, ever. Help!!! Thanks! rudiman Thanks Ilya. Unfortunately my actual problem, which I thought had something to do with the STA-mode, remains. I describe ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Deleting write protected files

  I'm developing a VB application to run on IPAQ devices. I have two different models of IPAQs and I want to delete all the shortcuts in \Windows\Start Menu so only my program and one or two others are visible. I can do it via active sync on one of the IPAQ's but they are write-protected on the other. I would like to put code in my program to delete all the unwanted shortcuts every time my program runs because I'm sure the shortcuts will reappear if the user does a cold boot. Does anyone know how to delete a file that's write protected I'm not sure if you want to delete shortcuts or the files itself. In any case, this link deals with both - http://www.bostonpocketpc.com/modules.php op=modload&name ...Show All

• .NET Development Typed DataSet Class not exposing its members

  Hi all, I've made a Typed DataSet and create 2 DataTables manually. I added few columns for them and a relation between them. The ParentDataTable has a primary key which we can call Id and that field also is contained in the child parent. This field is the one that creates the relation between both tables. If I get to the code, I can declare a variable of the Typed DataSet type, but when I call for the methods, it does not show me those methods. I think it is not being generated so, I can not access the class members, like typed tables and row collections. I'm Using VS.NET 2005. Does somebody knows what it may be the problem thanks in advance Luis Diego Rojas Excelsus ...Show All

• .NET Development How does the .NET FCL work?

  Does the .NET framework function off of Win32 API methods or something Sure, C# and .NET languages use .NET, but how does .NET do what it does Hello All. xRuntime: Basically (and over-simplified), it goes like this: 1) .NET code compiles to MSIL instructions -------------------- Native processor boundary------------- 2) MSIL compiles (via the JIT) to native machine instructions 3) native code either calls WIN32 library functionality (via .NET wrappers) or newer .NET library funtionality --------------------Windows device-independent boundary--------- 4) operating system library code (either WIN32 or .NET) calls device-dependent code (device drivers). 5) application runs (or, crashes ) That's it in a (ve ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Word 2003 Includetext XPath

  I have a word document that has an includetext field. The text is extracted from an XML file that is generated from an external database. I want to load it into word and insert text from different sources that is formatted data into different elements. I do not have problems extracting data from a n element when using a raw xml document. But if I add random text with formatting to an element, I need to save as a Word XML. If I save as raw data I will lose the added formatting. I can't seem to make the xpath statement work after that. Shouldn't it extract all text with formatting as long as I make sure the namespace and node name is correct. I would appreciate any suggestions Hi Mary -- I sent yo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista uac elevation by a service

  Hi, I have a service running as local system which sometimes has to spawn another process running as the currently logged on administrator user. The spawned process needs elevated admin rights in order to perform its task which could be a software installation or configuration job. The question is; how does the service do this without the user having to click the uac dialog The problem is that the user may be logged on but could be away (perhaps the job takes place at night) so there could be nobody to click the dialog. The way it works at the moment is that the service gets the token of the admin user then calls createprocessasuser. The spawned process, of course, runs under restricted admin rights which are insufficient for the ta ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Creating field which is a value dependent on other fields

  I would like to have a field called weight or multiplier which takes the rank and priority and multiplies them together to populate this field. Does anyone know how to do this I think that the way I could do this is by having a conditional value. Basically this is what I will need to do...1. have a field called Customer which will be by default 0, if there is a customer assigned to this work item, then set to 1.2. Create a query which will sort first by the field Customer, then by Priority and then by severity.This way, developers could come in in the morning and see their highest priority bugs (i.e. those associated with a customer) and do their work accordingly.Does anyone know how I can do the first par ...Show All
