• Windows Forms Adding an image that displays when ALT+TAB is pressed

  Hi, I have made a setup in VS2005 that installs a simple windows application.

Rather a blank image is shown. Can you tell me how can i add such an image/icon in my setup in C# project setup. Regards, Wasif Ehsan. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Catching Unhandled Managed Exceptions from MFC

  Is there any reasonable way to get CWinApp to catch .NET managed exceptions in the Windows message loop using its standard facility ( ProcessWndProcException ) at the moment they seem to throw all the way out of the appication without hitting that handler. Andrew Raymond Mitchell1 The documentation of AppDomain.UnhandledException Event says there is a change in .Net 2.0 that does not handle the Exception but provide the chance to save your data, and lists some methods to preempty the exception, such as handling the Application.ThreadException Event. But It seems both events are not fired for an MFC application. Perhaps you need to host your MFC application in a managed application, as described in http://www.codeproject.com/manage ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Customized Scheduler in Outlook 2003 Calendar

  I'm not quite sure if this is a VBA question, but I didn't see any other forum that was more appropriate to ask. Here is my scenario. I have a client who works for a college. She would like to set up her Outlook calendar by 15 week terms, which they have trimesters. In each term, there are many tasks, all of which have to be completed on/by certain weeks in each term, or sometimes by specific term-related days. How would I go about doing this in Outlook, and is this a VBA thing, or is there an option in Outlook to do this If I am completely in the wrong forum to ask something like this, please refer me to a more appropriate forum. thank you, - Alex ...Show All

• Visual C++ Windows forms help

  Hello everybody i wonder if you can fill a hole in my understanding of programming windows. I am trying to develop a very basic windows forms application. I have a class called class1 and another called game. It is my understanding that the autogenerated form1.h is also a class. Maybe this is because i don't understand. Anyway from game i can declare a pointer of type class1 and access class1's data members, functions etc from a function inside game. I can also declare a pointer of type form1. However when i come to access form1's data members using this pointer it won't let me alter them it just says: error C2227: left of '->richtextbox1' must point to class/struct/union/generic typ Here is the code: //game.h #pragma once cla ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question about 64 bit drivers

  Hello, Currently i'm building a device driver for Windows 64-bit. So I installed the Device Driver Development Kit. To situate to problem I will explain what the goal of the driver is. I'm writing an WDM driver for an 1394 (firewire) device. The already exists an 32 bit driver for it. Before I'm going to build the driver for 64-bit I want to test the Plug and Play system with the sample driver given by the DDK. So i builded that driver in 64 bit mode, didn't changed anything to the files. Then i've token the original .inf file from the 32 bit driver. I've changed the inf file with NTamd64 names, so Windows x64 can open the inf file. Then I select the device wich I want to install. Windows copy's the test .sys file which I've build ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Hung merge possibly causing SQL error 2627

  I'm working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Explorer Service Pack 1 (KB918525) against Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Service Pack 1 (KB922996) using SQL Server 2005 Standard Service Pack 1. I started a merge from an integration to main line using the Team Explorer's Source Control Explorer GUI. I canceled this merge while still in the wizard. Now when attempting a similar merge (involving the same targets and workspace) from the command line or from the GUI, I receive a dialog with the following error. A database error occurred (SQL error 2627) ---> Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tbl_PendingMerge'. Cannot insert duplication key in object 'dbo.tbl_PendingMerge'.

• .NET Development ExecuteNonQuery asynchronously

  Hello, Is there any way I can run ExecuteNonQuery asynchronously, such as initiate stored procedure call and return immediately. Thanks, Hi How does this work for ASP.NET I also need to execute a long-running stored procedure from a web page and have that web page return immediately (it's just executing a big DELETE and I have no need to display any results on the page). I can see that "BeginExecuteNonQuery" would be a great way to do this - but I am worried about if/how the database connection gets closed. Normally, you specify a callback method in the call to BeginExecuteNonQuery in which you close the connection. But does this work in ASP.NET Is it possible for the callback method to be executed long after the page r ...Show All

• Visual Basic Memory usage - events

  I recently answered a question at VBCity about a memory leakage with VB.Net: "I am creating a class with an Event, then I instantiate the class and dispose of it. VB seems to be wasting 16 bytes each time. " I did some research, and found something really interisting. A small VB.Net application to test this showed that the memory usage slowly increases over time. The object never gets collected. A C# test worked as expected (memory usage increases the 1st time an object is created, and then it stays the same). When I investigated the CLR code for this, I noticed why: C#'s ctor function only created the object, while VB's did the following: IL_0001: call instance void [mscorlib]System.Object::.ctor() IL ...Show All
