• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Size Form to fit user resolution

  I have several multi-user Access applications. After much time-consuming research I have not been able to find anything that works on this question: How can I get my forms to automatically fit the USER'S screen with their set resolution with the OnLoad event of a form I have already tried me.height, me.width with no success. Anyone have any other suggestions Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Blue are VB Keywords and purple is identifiers. You can setup custom formatting in the IDE through the options menu to make you coding easier to follow and find issues for yourself! In the Sample above in VB.Net it would be unneccesary to rename anything.... However it will not work insi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData

  I am unable to use System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedData in Visual Studio C# Express and SharpDevelop. I noticed that when I use the help feature and do a search this method is only available in .NET framework 2.0 and not in the .NET Compact framework 2.0. So my questions are; 1.) How can I force visual c# express to use the .NET framework Interesting thing is if I create a console and compile via command line it works, but when I use the IDE it doesn't work. 2.) How do you build a project via command line. Thanks for your help ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA networking help

  Hi, I ' m just starting to work with XNA and I'm having a doubt planning my project. I would like to make any application (for example the Space Invaders) and develope a multiplayer on-line version for this. What would you think it could be the best idea for this I have thought on these ideas: -Using the libraries of System.net for send messages between two players, but it could be very slow... -Use an existing game server (a game engine, that includes everything related with communications etc) and try to connect this with XNA game. I am looking for a free-source game server, to include my xna game in any place, but I haven’t found anything.... Do you know any way to solve these Thanks! I ...Show All

• .NET Development Database file tied up after connection closed

  Hi, I am writing an application that: 1) downloads a database file 2) connects to the database file that was downloaded and then updates another database with it Once the update is done, I want to delete the downloaded file but I cannot seem to do this - it seems to be tied up by the sql server express instance Is there any way to be able to free up this file I am using VS2005 on a pc with windows xp pro. thanks -Barb One other thought. When you close the connections, they are actually being released to the connection pool and thus the database is still considered to be in use. Disabling connection pooling by adding "Pooling=false" to the connection string is one opt ...Show All

• SQL Server Nested Transactions

  Can anyone verify for me whether SQL Server CE 2.0 does or does not support nested Transactions when using the SQLServerCe Data Provider The SQL Server CE Books Online documentation definitely states that SQL Server CE supports nested Transactions, but the example provided uses ADOCE Data Provider. The error message that I get when trying to begin a new Transaction with an existing Transaction still uncommitted on the same SqlCeConnection is "SQL Server CE does not support parallel transactions". Is it not possible to nest Transactions with SQLServerCE Data Provider SQL Server CE doesn't support nested transactions. Meaning you can't start a transaction B inside transaction A.

• Visual C# Running Service Memory Increasing...

  Hi all, I have created a service that polls a usb device every ~10secs and stores data to a small-ish database (around 10k or 15k records) with every poll. Seems to be running OK, but the Windows Task Manager > Processes tab shows that it is using continuously more and more memory. As I write this, Mem Usage is at 24,516 k and slowly growing. This seems strange to me as it is not a very complex service, does this look like a GC problem I'm very new to coding with database manipulation methods, so I set up a simple access database and have been using table adapters to do all my data transactions. It seems to me there may be an inherent problem in the way I'm doing this, as I have to use the tableadapter.Fill(datatable) method each ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Lost all componets in design mode

  I was adding some additional functionality to an application when I discovered that my design mode components were all missing and a new default blank form what in it's place. However all the underlying code is intact. When you build the application you indeed get the blank default form, even though all the code for building the form is indeed being executed. Anybody have a clue as to what happened here That action that I did before I started to work in design mode was simply add a reference to a second .dll that I wrote. I've lost control and I'm now sad and crying. Thanks for any insight! This has happened to me too, after spending much time creating a farily sophisticated user interface, but with no responding code yet. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office R

  When I change Excel zoom from 100% and try to click any winforms controls on the spreadsheet I get this dialog: Windows Forms controls have been disabled because the document has been scaled. When zoom is returned to 100%, controls will reactivate. I imagine many users scale their documents due to various screen resolution preferences. Is document scaling other than 100% going to be supported by VSTO in the future Hi, Yes, this is really unfortunate behavior. The problem is that Windows Forms do not support scaling so there is simply no way to address this scenario. Windows Presentation Foundation controls are capable of being scaled, so my hope is that we will be able to support this scenari ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Petzold XBAP gets unauthorized access exception

  When we try to run http://www.charlespetzold.com/wpf/JeuDeTacquin/JeuDeTacquin.xbap from one user account on a PC it runs fine but using a different (older) user presentation host crashes with a system unauthorized access exception. Both accounts have computer administration rights. The same thing happens for all other XBAPs we've tried. XAML applications don't run either. Running an XBAP from Visual Studio in debug mode does work. We're using XP SP2 with .Net 3 RC1 installed. Anyone got any ideas what we could look at to rectify the problem Is there any other information we could post to help I have been having this problem for few month and googling for solutions. As far as I could tell, none of solut ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel ListObject.ListRows loses last data row

  I have an Excel ListObject and am trying to iterate through each row, the list has 1 header row and 10 data rows. i am doing: foreach (Excel.ListRow lr in list.ListRows) { //do something } the size of the ListRows collection is 10, however the first row is the header row, and the last data row is missed off. I was wondering why this is happening, either the size of ListRows should be 11, or the header row should be missed off. So I solved the issue, inside my for loop i was getting each cell in the row as such: foreach (Excel.ListRow lr in list.ListRows) { Excel.Range rangeVal = (Excel.Range)lr.Range.Cells[0, 1]; Excel.Range rangeVal2 = (Excel.Range)lr.Range.Cells[0, 2]; etc } as it works out, by ...Show All

• SQL Server How to check whether an SSIS package is executing

  I have scheduled an SQL Job to run every 15 mins. This runs an SSIS package. But sometimes my package might execute for more than 15 mins. In this case, a second instance of the package would start. I don't want this to happen. So is there any way I can check whether the package is already running before I continue the execution of the same. Right now I am using a mutex to handle this problem. Are there any problems using the mutex and is there a better way to handle this Thanks in advance. Sumesh Thank you Jamie! But if I disable the job and then re-enable it after the execution of my package, won't the agent wait for another 15 mins before it starts the next execution of the package ...Show All
