• Smart Device Development How to open Inbox (pmail.exe) from a compact framework app

  I need to launch Inbox from with in my application. This is a relativly simple thing in .net. I have found several ways to open an external .exe in the full version of .Net but, have been unable to find a way to accomplish this within the compact framework. Any ideas Thanks! If you are using the 2.0 Compact Framework you can use very same class to start new processes as you would with the desktop framework, the only difference being which overload of Start() you use: Process.Start() Process.Start(String, String) Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo) ...Show All

• Visual C# How to merge in new data from second dataset

  If you fill one dataset with data wait a while and then fill another dataset with a later version of the same table: How do you find which rows have been modified, deleted, added without looping through each one in two foreach loops (for the two tables) foreach datarow in the first table { foreach datarow in the second table { itemarray_1.equals(itemarray_2) } } But all rows will have the state "unchanged" since they're both loaded into two separate datasets using the ADO.NET method "Fill". I can update and add rows with LoadDataRow. But how do you handle deleted rows without running two foreach loops /Lars ...Show All

• Commerce Server "The catalog web service is currently unavailable. The web service might be experiencing technical difficulties"

  Hey All, I have a persistent problem that i can't seem to shake off and am hoping someone has a solution. I've tried setting up Commerce Server 2007 on a Windows Server 2003 machine in the office and i've been using the Installation Guide that came with the setup files from the Microsoft website and it has failed on both occassions that i've tried it.

I've tried unpacking the CSharpSite that came with the installation and as i open up the CatalogManager it tells me "The catalog web service is currently unavailable. The web service might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your connection settings." If I try to access th ...Show All

• SQL Server Records not updating in Script Component

  I am seeing a strange behavior in a script component that I can't figure out. Basically, there is a field in my script that checks to see if a string field is length of 1. If it is, it updates the field with some value. The strange behavior is that it picks up some of the rows but not others. If Row.FieldValue.Length = 1 Then Row.FieldValue= "Some Value" End If I've tried variations such as: If left(Row.FieldValue.,1) = "-" Then Row.FieldValue= "Some Value" End If But I get the same results.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Userform Controls

  I have created a data request form for the company in Excel. The form has quite a lot going on (e.g. frames, option buttons, tick boxes etc). I've created all the necessary code and event handlers so that the form behaves as it should. In an attempt to record the user's input, I've then gone on and written a bit of code, which executes when the user clicks OK after completing the form. This bit of code loops through each control on the form and, depending on the control type, writes its caption or value to a blank spreadsheet. The issue I'm having is the order in which it loops through the controls. The tab order for the whole form, including that within frames, is spot on, yet this bit of code loops through some of the controls in ...Show All

• .NET Development Whats up with the EventLog class?

  I am trying to iterate through the EventLog, here is an example: EventLog appLog = new EventLog("Application"); foreach(EventLogEntry entry in appLog.Entries) { } First error I get is that no overloaded EventLog type accepts 1 string parameter. So I try all of the different overloaded constructors (stringName), (stringName, machineName), (stringName, machineName, sourceName), but all of them give me the same error. So I create the class without using an overloaded constructor, but I still get this error: EventLog does not contain a definition for "Entries". It is documented, it is in intellisense. I have tried it on several computers with the same outcome. What am I missing Have you got another class is ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista What happened to the HelpDeskSupport sample app in .NET RC1 and WinWF CTP5?

  Dear all, The HelpDeskSupport sample was in the SDK up until Beta 2.2, but it seems to have vanished. It looks like it exists on the web, but the links to the source code from the documentation are broken. I used it to obtain classes for "simple" communication between asp.net and a state machine workflow. This seemed to work ok, so I didn't look into it to any degree, but under RC1, using manual scheduling, it crashes because the communication interface uses a class global static to keep track of the DataPipeList and this does not persist across re-starts. The idea of a class that abstracts to data pipes with defined message formats is a good one, although the implementation of it here is a bit clumsy. Is there a samp ...Show All
