• Windows Forms VDProj BannerText

  Hi All, Is there any way to change BannerText in the welcome screen of a vdproj file made with VS2005 It seems like now it gets it from VsdWelcomeDlg.wid and currently has this value: "Welcome to the [ProductName] Setup Wizard" Obviously, I can't edit that file, so I want to know if there is any way to change BannerText without changing that file (using a post build event, a script, or anything else).   Why I want to do this I have a long ProductName and a BannerBitmap, so the text gets over bitmap, making it difficult to read. Thank you for the script it's quite helpful. I want to remove the string at the Control.Text field. I modified the query as follow, ra ...Show All

• .NET Development bug on the registry function

  Hello, A program is reading some value in the registry to apply some configuration. When reading the registry in sequence for several keys, there is about 2% chance that the read will fail and return an empty string on some machine. This program was in C and upgraded to VB.net. It is run with the framework 1.1. The program always worked well in C, the bug appeared with VB.NET. I have made an application to make a stress test to the registry. Begin //Each time you make a read, you open the key, get the value and then close the key. loop from 1 to 100 var1 = readRegistryKey var2 = readRegistryKey var3 = readRegistryKey var4 = readRegistryKey var5 = readRegistryKey var6 = readRegistryKey var7 = readRegistryKey var8 = readRegistry ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why Dependency Properties?

  I've been working with WPF for a while now, studying it, programming with it, blogging about it, etc. Despite all that, there is something which fundamentally bothers and eludes me. I just don't feel comfortable with dependency properties. I've read a lot about them, but none of the explanations have satisfied my curiosity. I'm hoping that someone might explain a few things to me, please... - How do DPs work What is actually involved with the inner workings of a DP What happens when you set a DP What happens when you get the value of one Is this explained/documented anywhere I've read about the precedence rules used during value resolution, but how exactly does that work - How does the value inheritance of DPs work When do inhe ...Show All

• .NET Development Partial File Downloading

  I want to download file from 3,221,225,472 bytes (3 Gb) to 3,328,599,654 bytes (3.1 Gb) for example Windows Vista Beta ISO if I use HttpWebRequest.AddRange Method (Int32, Int32) occure exception: "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Show Connection Property Window for a Database at runtime

  I'm trying to figure out is there any way to pullup the "Connection Properties" window from the my.settings<ConnectionStringName> Property (or when you first create a connection to a database) when the application is running. For example in my app I would like the user to select File-Open and the user selects a mdf file the next window I would like to show is the Connection Properties window (-it would be nice to display that window so the user can test the connection.) Thanks for any help Nope, that specific dialog is only available from within Visual Studio. It has a lot of dependencies on other things within visual studio and does magic design-time only things under the hood... Be ...Show All

• .NET Development Encrypting Data

  I am looking at methods for encrypting and decrypting data stored in the database (actually storing the encrypted strings). However, I really like the Symetric Encrypting Method that uses a key file except for the fact that the key needs to be generated on their machine. Is there a way I can use a key file/hash that I can generate on my machine and deploy it with the program to my users Thanks, Greg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Nothing happens when pressing the Report Builder button.

  When I press the Report Builder button on the report site homepage, nothing happens. I can see that IE is trying to open reportbuilder.application on a the report server, but I do not see any dialog requesting me to allow the application to run. When I log in on another PC with the same credentials I can create reports using Report Builder. These are the details I get when running the application directly from the server.

• Smart Device Development Breakpoints do not get hit...

  Hello,   a colleague has big troubles debugging compact framework 2.0 applications from his VS2005 environment (to be more specific: he has hijacked my PC because the troubles do not occur there ). The problem is that every CF2.0 application he runs will not break when run on a device, but the same application runs and hits the breakpoints on the device emulator. It doesn't matter if it is a big multi-project solution or just a simple little HelloWorld project, the debugger just isn't interested in breakpoints anymore.   We searched over this forum, but none of the solutions work for him. Some of the things we found and tried are: Deleting de bin/obj folders. Showing the Debug toolbar. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Intellisense becoming unable to resolve objects

  I'm posting this here and not in the general Visual Studio forum because my experience so far tells me the situation with C++ is different than with, say, C# (I have so far at least one example where VS's tools behave worse in the C++ environment than in that of C#). I have Intellisense getting confused and unable to resolve objects so often that I find myself closing the solution, deleting the *.ncb file, and reopening the solution. It almost makes me wish I had a "rebuild Intellisense" button... Kamen I totally agree with you. Meanwhile, it is important to note that we won't be able to help unless you provide us with a reproducible case so that we can investigate. I will invesitigate further from my side but can't ...Show All

• Windows Forms Two active forms

  Hi! I'm developing an application which needs 2 active forms at the same time - something like Photoshop with af form at top of the screen (the mainform) with a menu and a toolbar which can open different childforms. What I wan't is to have the mainform and one of the childforms to be active at the same time so that I can activate the menues and toolbar of the mainform with just a single mouseclick and shortcut keys from the keyboard while a childform is active. I don't wan't to use a MDI form and childforms. When I open a childform I add it as a OwnedForm to the mainform. Is there a way to have 2 forms active at the same time Thanks!
