Hello I am trying to figure out a way to clear browser history from my dektop application, ideally for both FF and IE. Anone know of a resource or some code to help me out Thanks!

How do these "clear your browser history" applications work THere are tons of them but there doesnt seem to be too muh documentation on how to go about doing it as a programmer. Thanks! ...Show All

.NET Development Unmanaged memory leak in HttpResponse
I am developing a http handler running under IIS for streaming data from a server down to its clients. This works just fine. Until I open an oracle database connection before I stream the data. After I have opened the connection (and closed it again properly) all the data I am streaming will leak on the server, causing it to consume huge amounts of memory. The .NET Memory profiler reports the following stack trace for the leaking memory allocations: HeapAlloc( ) [Managed to unmanaged transition] UnsafeNativeMethods.BufferPoolGetBuffer(IntPtr) HttpResponseUnmanagedBufferElement..ctor() HttpWriter.CreateNewMemoryBufferElement() HttpWriter.BufferData(byte[], int, int, bool) HttpWriter.WriteFromStream(b ...Show All

Visual Basic Running a function in another form
Hello Everyone, I'm having a problem in Visual Basic .NET 2003. I'm creating a basic XML Database (an Address Book) with two Forms. Form1 lists the contacts from an XML file and opens Form2 Form2 adds a contact to the XML file At the moment, Form1 opens Form2 and Form2 can write data to the XML file. I want to run the function "refreshData()" in Form1 when Form2 modifies the XML file (ie: when the "Save" button in Form2 is clicked). Thanks for your time, Hayden hi Hayd3n, try using event handlers to solve your problem. here's a short example: in form 2, define a friend event to be called by Form2 when saving to activate the refreshData() in Form 1: Friend Event MyRefreshEvent(ByV ...Show All
Visual Basic ToolBar Control Replaced by ToolStrip with No ImageList - Rendering it useless.
The ToolBar has been replaced by the ToolStrip control. The ToolStrip Control does NOT have an ImageList property in the properties dialog at design time. MS had to actually make the decision to remove this feature. Why Who cares. Assigning an image to an embeded command button now WILL NOT allow me to use my favorite .ico icon library. Now I have to find a way to convert my .icon library to something the ToolStrip can understand. Another time wasting useless feature. Now I have to code each and every image for the ToolStrip control. Why would I do this. Everytime I want to change the order of the command button controls I have to chase it up in code. Multiply it by 3 to get the Hot, Cold, and Disabled icons. Come on! I can't be the only ...Show All

Visual Basic Tips on Window Attributes (size, location, etc.)
So I have a program for my job that allows the user to open any number of individual windows that each display a customizable amount of data, type of data, etc. But that part's unimportant, the important thing is, unlimited windows are openable. The window attributes themselves are stored in a list of open windows. What I'd like to implement is the ability to choose some preset layouts. I know how I can programmatically create new windows, but my issue is arranging them. What do y'all suggest as the best way to do this, handling different screen resolutions and stuff like that A percentage of the user's screen width perhaps And do y'all have any methods to suggest using besides the normal setCoord, setWidth and setHeight ...Show All
