• Visual Basic How to register off line

• Visual Basic How to sign exe with digital certificate to suppress security warning from IE7 when executed from a client

  Hi newsgroup, I searched a lot in many newsgroups today, but now I'm very disappointed not to find an answer to my question. I know, that this is not a VB5 forum, but maybe my problem is useful for .NET users, too. I would appreciate, if you could point me to the right newsgroup, if this is not the right place. An old Server/Client software, developed with VB5 many years ago and still in use, is installed on a server and executed on some clients through a network share. Server and Clients run with every operating system Microsoft has released the last 10 years (Windows 95 to Windows 2003 Server). For many years this approach worked fine. But since the latest Updates from Microsoft for Windows XP SP2, especially IE7, a security war ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 3D Performance and Caching

  I made a little 3D example that you can see at http://thewpfblog.com/ p=35 . Everything works great except that my system starts to bog down when a lot of letters have been created. This makes sense since there are more and more visual elements for WPF to display. Is there some kind of bitmap cache for object that you want to be displayed but which won't be changing position or appearance In Flash there is a property called cacheAsBitamp . Does WPF have a similar capability Thanks, Lee There is a an object called a RenderTargetBitmap which you can use to render a visual into a bitmap form. You might be able to compose a background bitmap yourself that you gradually update with new letters. Each new letter that you'd like to put in ...Show All

• Visual C++ The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

  Ive been getting this message when trying to load my C++/CLI DLL. This DLL loads just fine when I try to use it from my Visual Studio Extensibility project, but fails to load when its attached to a stand alone application. My first guess was a WinSxS problem so I installed vcredist_x86.exe just to make sure I wasn't actually failing to find the run-time. This did not result in any kind of change, so I opened up fuslogvw and set it to log any bind failures, the result was empty in the default category and in native it shows the msvc runtime but just says that its using the "IL" version instead of a native image. So as far as I can tell I dont really have any kind of load failure. My C++/CLI dll is completely self contained and rel ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Installation Error

  I am trying to install CF 2.0 SP2 on my HP iPAQ 2210. When it reaches the end of the installation process on my device, I get an error messages saying "Installation error. Stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3." I don't have anything running, and I have adjusted my memory allocation so that I had about 20mb free for storage (I even tried adjusting so I had just as much free for programs). I've uninstalled, did a soft-reset, and tried again. I've removed unused programs, basically I have done everything short of resetting my device to it's initial state. When I had v1.1 on my device, any programs that used it would not work at all (they wouldn't even load ...Show All

• Smart Device Development program output string to textbox on WM5.0

  After highlight a textbox on a webpage, users go start then select a program which will automatically enter a string text on the textbox. Can this be implemented with visual studio 2005 I am using a Imate jasjar which is running WM5.0 Many thanks Let me try and understand your question.

• .NET Development DateTime interpretation between ADO.Net and SQL Server

  In my application I write to a table in a database a DateTime field (which happens to be a primary key) by executing a SQL command, e.g. INSERT INTO MyTable (MyDateCol) VALUES ('8/22/2006 4:20:21 PM'). Then, I insert the same value into another table (in which that same field is a foreign key) by using ADO.Net's SqlAdapter->Update(), where in a DataTable in a DataSet I had stored that same System::DateTime object. I am getting a failure - foreign key constraint violation - when trying to do that last write. When inspecting the value of that field in the DataSet from within the debugger, the date looks like this: "22/8/2006 16:20:21" (same thing, just different representation). This is all on the same computer so the culture is the same ...Show All
