• .NET Development Common Question: How can I clean a machine which has the .NET Framework 2.0 or 1.1?

  Since this question seems to be quite common, I will post this sticky thread and will update it periodically as new information becomes available. The following is from Aaron Stebner's WebLog : "Removal tool to fix .NET Framework install failures I wrote an application late last year that is designed to clean up computers that have problems getting the .NET Framework 1.0 or 1.1 to install correctly. I have been working on refining the tool for the past couple of months, working out some bugs, adding additional cleanup features, etc. The .NET Framework setup Product Support team has been using this cleanup tool for the past few months to help resolve many cases, and the internal Microsoft helpdesk has also started using it to ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem with Device Emulator

  Hi, I encountered a problem with Device Emulator in VS2005. When I open Device Emulator Manager, I found nothing in the treeview except a single "other" node. And when I debug an application, the Device Emulator could not be connected. But It works well days before. Very appreciate you to help me. I have same situation, too. After I uninstalled Windows CE 5.0 Evaluation Edition (JPN). I tried that (1) removed "C:\Documents and Settings\<my username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0" directory (2) did regsvr32 DeviceEmulatorBootstrap.dll (3) then restart Visual Studio 2005.

• Visual Studio How to create setup project that installs without user interaction?

  Hi all, Just developed my first shared add-in in Visual Studio 2005. This add-in is for Project 2003. I created a setup project just fine, and we are planning on deploying it with an installation of Project 2003. Problem is, the setup project that is created requires the user to answer a bunch of prompts during installation. I included the Shared Add-in Support Update for the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (KB908002) with my add-in - so when the user goes to install the add-in - it prompts the user if they want to install this update. I don't want any prompts to show during the install. Also, is there a way for the setup to detect if the user already has .NET framework 2.0 and not install it if it exists (as the update already includes . ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic form layout

  Hi, I think this could be one of those embarassingly simple questions. In a web app a column in a table can size to its content. Is there a container type in WPF that does this for a windows app I was thinking of allowing the user to define certain strings in my application. One such string could be the label to some textbox. Now, if they choose to replace the default string with a longer string I want the text box to move right to accommodate the label. Maybe this is bad UI design Is there a better suggestion (appart from don't let users modify UI text!!!) Thanks Graham you can try < StackPanel Orientation = " Horizontal " > < Label > Name </ Label > ...Show All

• Visual C# tabPages troubles again.

  I've been working with tabcontrol and tabpages thanks to OmegaMan and other fellows. I can create them programmatically, I can set controls like buttons and surfaces with grids on them. I get graphics. Now I want to destroy selected pages on Click. There is a Cancel button on each tabpage that is supposed to do it. I attached a _Click event to it--it works fine. It is the only thing that works actually as fart as this problem goes. In order to destroy the tabPage I have to get a refrerence to is as an object. The code inside the Click event must be able to figure out which page it is. I cannot seem to get a handle on it. This is what I've done so far. I've attached a GotFocus event handler to the tabPage and when it fires I am ...Show All

  I'll try to make this simple, but first, a few requests & info for you: 1) Do not ask the "why", just help me with my question, how to change my SQL 2) I will try to explain this in as simple terms and with enough info that I think is needed for this post 3) Do not tell me this should be done more easily in an OOP language..I have already realized this but, I don’t have time to turn back now.
