• Visual Studio Express Editions Start & close detecting application

  Hi All.. I'm new in C#. I would like to write in a txt file the date and time when ACAD.exe is started.. and same when closed. Any suggestions thanks. For this process, you can implement an Exited event, once implemented, this will automatically fire off and you can handle your exiting approach of that application the way you want to. In addition, there is a property in the Process instance called HasExited, which returns true if the application in question has actually exited and I would also think that the end time would be stored in the ExitTime property. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.exited.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is there a way to have the IDE wrap to the current tab indent?

  If I have a line of code that is indented (say withihn an IF.. THEN loop, etc.) and the IDE wraps the line, the line gets wrapped to to the left margin, not the current indent. This makes the code a lot harder to read. Is there a way to get it to wrap to the current indent Example: Else If Answers.Count >= AnswerNum + 1 Then 'Recycle the ones we already created for previous exercise.

• Smart Device Development Smart device Cab project issue

  Hi, I have created an 'Smart device Cab project' to install my application , how can I set the '%InstallDir%' to be an Storage Card, by default the cab file install the application in Program Files directory. Regards Mario What macro are you talking about I want to have my cab install in \Application. So When I created my smart device CAB project I put my files in the Application directory (and NOT in Program Files). Yet, when the cab builds, if you look at the .inf file, it defines the InstallDir as %CE1%. I tried changing the %CE1% (which equals \Program Files) to \Application and saving it. When I rebuilt, it got overwritten anyway. And sure enough, upon installation, the app is in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Field.IsEditable is not showing as editable for the Title/Description type.

  Hello, We want to get all the editable fields from a particular work item. When we iterate over the fields and use the Field.IsEditable property, for Title and Description it returns FALSE. We are using the standard Agile project template for our Task type. When we query the FieldDefinition.IsEditable is returns TRUE, however, for many fields this returns true on fields that shouldn't be editable. (Such as CreatedDate, etc.) How can we really determine if a particular field (on a specific work item) is editable or not Thanks, ~Joe Hi Joe, Unfortunately, .Open() does a round trip to the server so it is quite slow. I'm a little surprised that PartialOpen did not work for you. That is exclusiv ...Show All
