• Windows Forms sample code for programmincally install the "correct version" of .net framework?

  Hi, I wrote a very simple window form app, all it has is a label and couple buttons. When I send to exe file to another machine, it pops the famous error message: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminiate the application. Then I learned, the target machine needs to have .net framework install and the version of the framework must match where my app was built. My question: Does anyone have sample code for my program to determine if the target machine has the correct version of .net framework installed, and if not then my program would automatically download from msdn and install for user...etc etc etc Or if there are better ways to handle it (such maybe using the deploy option from vs. ...Show All

• Visual C++ error LNK2001

  Hi, (I saw the post on same subject but it seems to be a little different. so I'll use some word from that post!) There is a project earlier written in VC++ 6.0.  I opened the same project in VS.

  Hi everybody! First I apologize for my english, then I apologize if I make stupid questions, but it's few days I started using Visual Basic. I'm trying to make an application using serial port: I need to send from an external device data and text to PC and I have to distinguish between data and text: if I send a Byte 30h to the PC, how can I tell to my application if it's data (30h) or text (30h = "0") I was thinking to using CTS, DTS, CD, etc. etc. pins to tell PC if it's data or text and I've seen in this thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=627321&SiteID=1 these pins have to be enabled; does enabling one of these pins auto-enables the handshake for serial port How can I clean the ReceivedData buffer ...Show All

• Visual C# Copy and paste data between 2 notepads in C#

  Hi All, I need to open 2 notepads programatically. If I copy data from one notepad, and try to paste it in the next notepad, it should not get pasted. Can anyone suggest me a solution for carrying out the above one. I'm working in an e-publishing concern. Here we process a lot of 3b2 files. When we start a 3B2 application, scripts are generated. These scripts generate data. This data is copied from one file to another file. But the data should be unique for each file. Since people are copying and pasting this data, we encounter certain problems. So to overcome this problem, we need to find a solution. Can u suggest some other solution for this problem Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server more membership in "master.sys.login_token" than "net group"

  Hi. I'm investigating whether I can lock down a feature exclusively to only those who belong to a certain domain group. From what I understand, the master.sys.login_token view holds information on all the groups I'm a part of. However, I'm looking at the output from SELECT * FROM master.sys.login_token and see a number of groups that I can't verify I have access to. I have even run the DOS command " net group <domaingroup> /dom " and don't see myself listed in its output. Is this normal Is the output a culmination of everyone logged in at the time @@version = 9.00.2047.00 Thanks for your quick response....

• .NET Development How to consume webservices if you dont know where they are.

  Hello, this is my situation. I have a page, where I need to load a list of products in a dropdownlist. That list of products may come from differente webservices, for now, lets suppose that all the webservices have a method called SelectProducts() and that it returns a dataset. The problem is that I may have many providers of the webservice so I got a table with this information user, pass, domain, endpoint, typeofauthentication.
