• Visual J# J# application, when destributed wont start

  I've created a J# application on my windows xp machine (SP2) runing visual studio 2005. I have built a release version of this application and have tried running it on other windows xp sp2 and windows 2000 sp4 computers. All these computers have .NET framework 1.1 (i think) and definatelly have .NET 2.0. My father, who is a software developer can run this application on his machine which has visual studio 2005 but these simple office machines cannot. I have made sure that all windows updates are up to date and would greatly appreciate some help: Here it is when I tried to run it on the win2k SP4 machine. I've tried 'repairing' .NET 2.0 with no luck on my winxp sp2 machine. Help please. Brendan Grant wrote: The PC's you ar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions process invisible

  Hello, I have designed a program with VB express that when run from the .exe file, it runs as a process. I have prevented the program from showing in the taskbar when running minimised as I want the program to be invisible to the user. I used the form properties to do this. But now when I run it it shows up as a tab down near the start button on the desktop. How do I make it invisible when running in the background Note: I still want it to be seen in the Task Manager so I can shut it down from there. Also: Why is my program showing in the Task Manager as a process and not as an application Thank you for any help. Harvs. Hello, I have show in taskbar set to false and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to make Project Wizard/Templates?

  Hi; I want to make a Project Wizard/Template to eliminate the need to hand edit configuration settings. If someone has worked with Sharp Develop should know it has a template for DirectX Project. How can I make a template wizard like that for Visual C# Express 2005 Thanks you very much. Thank you, it works perfectly. It was what I've been looking for. Now a question. When I exported the Template, it automatically added to the Visual C# Templates and create a .zip folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\My Exported Templates. If I want to share that template with a friend what does he needs to do to add it in his Visual C# Express ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dataview filter on Double data type fails

  We have a DataTable with a column of type Double. We create a DataView based on the DataTable and specify a filter string like: "[ColumnName] = 15.03". The resulting DataView does not contain the row for which the column value is known to exist. We suspect type conversion is causing the problem, as the filter works correctly if the column is of type Single. We require double precision columns, so how do we work around this filter problem Thanks. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Accessing SQL Mobile DB From a Windows App

  Hello, I am using VB 2005 to create a Windows app that will sync a SQL Mobile DB to an Access DB located on a pc. In design mode I can access the SQL Mobile db on the device just fine.

• SQL Server Ongoing problem connecting to SQL Server

  Hi, I am getting the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) whilst trying to connect to a database on SQL Server Express from an ASP .NET application. I'm trying to connect locally for testing purposes, so there seems to be little relevance in the "not allowing remote connections" error. I was kindly helped out the other week by Jimmy Wu who gave me links to some resources to read. This allowed me to connect without an error via th ...Show All

• .NET Development not quite sure what .NET technology to use for this

  I have been tasked with developing a system similar to trading software that is used by brokers to bid and sell stocks. I have never developed a .NET application so this is to be my first. I have over 3years of programming though, so concepts are not that hard to grasp. I have read on web services, gone through a bit on threading and am not quite sure if it should be client server based. I have chosen c# as a language of choice. In brief, there are people in a room, each on a computer, bidding and selling for certain things. none of those people can see whats going on on the other's computer but each can choose to buy whats on offer, sell what they have or bid for something on sale. I think it is a typical in a stock trading floor. Its not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Developing for both 2003 & 2007 with VSTO 2005 SE

  Okay, maybe this is a stunned question, but I want to make sure I'm crystal clear before I head too far down the wrong path. I did a search, and I understand all but one thing... I want to make an add-in for both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. I *do* understand that the best (only ) approach is to make a "stub" add-in for 2003 and another "stub" for 2007, and have them each call into common assemblies. No problem there. On my development machine, I have Office 2007 installed. That means I don't have the Office 2003 PIAs (since you can't have both Outlooks installed at once). So if I make a new VSTO 2005SE project for an Outlook 2003 add-in, it obviously bitches that it can't find the Office 2003 PIAs. My question is: is ...Show All
