• Windows Forms USING PROFILES WITH WINDOWS FORMS, HELP!!!

  Does anybody knows what can i do to using asp.net profiles with windows forms , I dealed with doing just like in asp.net 2.0 but the application does not work, the profile is not recognized and nothing seems to work. (Moderator: Thread moved to this forum for better responses) James, thanks for your help, but I think that I do not explain myself very well, which happens is that desire to use the option of profile provider of ASP, but specifically to keep information related to the user (the authentication is already did it), to be able to create and to store its profile in the data base. The use of profiles in ASP is enough useful, since with the single modification of the Web.config file in the ap ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Sample sdk code "Mapirule" works only on PPC. Facing problem on SP 3.0 and 5.0. Need help

  Hi, I am working on the sample application "MapiRule" supported by Windows Mobile SP0.3 and 0.5, PPC0.3 and 0.5. It will be available in \Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\SMARTPHONE 2003\Samples\Win32\Mapirule This is working perfectly on PPC 2003 device but not on Smart Phone 2003 and 2005. After deploying it on PPC3 it helps me filter sms messages with subject/msg as "zzz" . It displays the sms in message box and later deletes it. So it helps me filtere the sms message for which i register. This filtered sms is thus not seen in PPCs native Inbox. In case of SP3.0 and 5.0 its doing the registery entries as mentioned in msdn help but its not calling the processmessage() which actually recives the sms ...Show All

How can add the image in the print preview You can use the ListView's DrawToBitmap() function to generate a bitmap image of the control, then use e.Graphics.DrawImage() to print it.

• Visual Studio Express Editions MouseDown on a Panel, Steals the MouseUp Event, and Stops ANY Enter\Leave Events of that control.

  Just like the title says, On a panel, when I mousedown, and move the mouse outside of the panel's range, and release the mouse on a different panel, the sender for the mousedown, and mouseup are identical, and they shouldn't be. Also, the mousedown event stops the enter & leave events, at least of that control, I need to get this to work right so that I can easily inventory system w/ inventory slots, that when dragged to and from each other, will change its' value in an array, the only alternate way I currently know of, is to use locations instead of senders, hopefully, it will not come to this. P.S. Sorry for the quadruple or greater than threads a page or 2 back, it kept saying that an error occured, so I kept clicking it :) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merging Problem

  He is the scenario I am hoping to find a solution for: Say I have a source branch called the trunk, T and a branch from T called A. I want to create a parallel development branch called B from T to have the merge relationship from the trunk T but I want A's current code to merge into B. I know I can use a baseless merge from A to B to accomplish this. The problem is that some files in T have been removed from A and therefore I do not want them in B as well. However, since we initially branched from T, those files exist in B and using a baseless merge from A does not mark the files in B for deletion. Without, having to manually do diffs on directories to find files that have been removed and then delete them manually (which is a huge ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) i WCF, netNamedPipeBinding, and Citrix - BUG?

  We have an interesting issue on our project. We are hosting several WCF services as netNamedPipe, hosted in the same process as the Windows UI. When run locally (Windows XP or Server 2003) everything is fine. However, when run under Citrix, we have found that the Citrix user must be granted the SeCreateGlobalPrivilege in order for the application to run. I believe this is because the netNamedPipe-bound services are creating a named pipe without the "LOCAL\" prefix in their name, which, by default, creates a global pipe. Has anyone been able to run a client that hosts a netNamedPipe service locally on a Terminal Services or Citrix system without setting the SeCreateGlobalPrivilege privilege It seems like this should not be nec ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Win CE 6.0 - Serial port enumeration and ioexception on serialport.open()

  I'm developing using VS 2005 and CE 6.0 Platform Builder and C#. My target device is an eBox-2300 CEPC with two physical serial ports. All of my code thus far works on the development PC, but I have problems when I try to deploy to my device. I have two immediate issues that I need help with. First, I have a routine that attempts to enumerate the serial ports on the system. The code is as follows: ******************************************************** public static string SetPortName(string defaultPortName) { string portName; Console.WriteLine("Available Ports:"); foreach (string s in SerialPort.GetPortNames()) { Console.WriteLine(" {0}", s); } Console.Write ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content pipeline design issues

  I LOVE the content pipeline, but while digging deep and creating a bunch of cool custom importers/processors/etc I found a few annoyances that I don't see clean solutions for. I was hoping some experts here or MSFTies could set me on the right path. My problem is with the content pipeline and it's files/types. I have two assemblies that I'm using, we'll call them Foo.Content and Foo.Content.Pipeline, with Foo.Content containing the types I use and the content readers, and Foo.Content.Pipeline containing the processors/writers/importers. Of course I have two versions of Foo.Content (one for Windows, Foo.Content.Windows, and one for the 360, Foo.Content.X360 - the 360 one has the files from the Windows folder linked in). I kind of lik ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 - scrolling jumps

  Is there a default setting I can change in IE7 that will stop the jumping when I try to scroll using a mouse wheel It's almost as bad as what I see when I'm connected remotely to another machine. Thanks, R. Hill Thanks for the reply. I found a solution from a google forum that solved the problem for me: Start. Control Panel. Mouse. Choose the Buttons tab. For "Scroller", set to the following: Check the box labeled "Use MS Office compatible scroll only." Also, check the box labeled "Scroll in active window only." Works fine after making those changes. ...Show All
