• Visual C# Live Update?

  How could I add a live update to my application using: WebClient client = new webClient(); client.DownloadFileAsync(Uri address, FileName filename) I can download the file and run it with a dialog box, but I need to check the version of the file I have just downloaded. And if the file version is higher than the current, it runs, else it shows a MessageBox. Ahh, I ask because you hadn’t answered the first one and we generally ask that new threads are not created that ask the same question when a earlier and unresolved one still exists... because both of the threads provide some different information on the issue/question I have merged them. As for determining the file version (after downloading) you could pinvoke GetFileVe ...Show All

• .NET Development Relationships in Typed Datasets

  Hello I am just woundering about something, which i will be doing in the near future but have not got around to yet, and just thought i would ask the question before i approachs this. Lets say i have 2 Typed Data Tables Orders OrderDetails Now in the SQL Database these 2 tables are related by a foreign key relationship. Which have the "Enforce Foreign Key Constraint" for Update and Delete Rule. (Meaning that when i delte an order, SQL auto deletes all the Order Details for that order) Now say in .Net aplcation i have my Typed Datatables with the same relationship, and also have the Casade rule set. Now does this meen that when i delete an order from my local typed order table, and it auto deletes from the loc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CMMIParams.XML

  Customizing MSF Process Guidance, Part 6: Building HTML Content Pages with MSFWinBuild describes use of CMMIParams.xml as a command line parameter for MSFWinBuild. I've exported the CMMI method from Foundation Server and also looked in the source version of the CMMI Method but can't find this file. Please can someone advise where I should be looking for an example file. Thanks, David Thanks for that but it turns out that having CMMIParams.xml is not the complete solution. MSFWinBuild does not work successfully with the file ProcessGuidanceMap.XML provided as part of the most recent MSF CMMI download.

• .NET Development Strange XmlSerializer error

  Dear all, I am programming in VB.NET , using the .NET Framework 2.0 on a Windows Vista machine running VS 2005 with the SP1 beta applied. I have a VB class which was derived from an .XSD schema using the XSD.exe tool. I am able to instantiate objects from this class and build by "XML" object up using it, without too much difficulty. However, when I come to serialize the output to an XML stream, it fails, with a FileNotFoundException on the serialize line, e.g.: Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer( GetType (eGov.IRenvelope)) Where eGov is my class namespace, and the IRenvelope is the class within the namespace that corresponds to my object which I am attempting to serialize. The interesting thing is, tha ...Show All

• Visual C++ Catching Unhandled Managed Exceptions from MFC

  Is there any reasonable way to get CWinApp to catch .NET managed exceptions in the Windows message loop using its standard facility ( ProcessWndProcException ) at the moment they seem to throw all the way out of the appication without hitting that handler. Andrew Raymond Mitchell1 Sheng, As it happen's, that's more or less exactly what we're doing. We are actually hosting two MFC applications in a manner which is slightly different than that article (and we had them working about six months before it was published.) The problem here is that I need to prevent the application from crashing when either of these fragile legacy exceptions throws an unhandled exception (managed or CException derived), particularly when it relates t ...Show All

  Hello! I have a windows service which monitors a UNC share path for any incoming files and moves them to a new loaction on the same UNC path.
