Visual Studio Express Editions Compile project from command line
I would like to build a C# project from the command line.

Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums querying/updating linked visual foxpro tables with Access 2003/ODBC

.NET Development get all form names.. and their tags please
I itterate through all the forms of my solution like so: Assembly asm = Assembly .GetExecutingAssembly(); ArrayList allForms = new ArrayList (); foreach ( Type t in asm.GetTypes()) { if (t.BaseType == typeof ( Form )) { allForms.Add(t.Name); } } Anyone have any idea how I would then get the Tag property for each of these Forms that are places in the allForms ArrayList Thanks. Yeshia wrote: When I do that it only gives the forms that are currently open. This is part of a security class, giving permissions to view a Form or Not. So the Forms Im looking for will most likely, at least should not be opened yet. Yeshia, If your form is not yet opened ...Show All

Visual Basic Custom CType operator not being called
This code defines a custom CType operator that converts Integer to TestNumber. This works great when converting from Integer to TestNumber. But an InvalidCastException occurs when converting from Object of type Integer to TestNumber. The online help for CType function implies that this call should work. "If the conversion is undefined, an InvalidCastException occurs. This can happen, for example, if expression is of type Object and its run-time type has no conversion to typename ." But because of the custom CType operator, there *is* a conversion from the run-time type (Integer) to typename (TestNumber). This problem is causing big headaches in my app. It happens on both VS 2005 and VS 2005 SP1. This seems like a CType bug ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions How do I send data from my application to a database?
I am just learning how to use Visual Studio and I was wondering if someone could help me out with a problem I cannot figure out. I am working on an application, composed of drop-down boxes that are from various tables, and I can not figure out how to send the selected data from the drop-down boxes to a database. I have been playing around with the BindingSource and BindingNavigator which has not gotten me anywhere. If someone could help me out with this problem I would much appreciate it.

Visual C++ Releasing memory in mixed-mode .Net environment problem
In a .Net application is the finalizer for each object in the GC heap guaranteed to be called before the memory in the C++ heap is automatically reclaimed The reason I ask this is that I have a private ref class component which creates an object of a C++ class in its constructor and deletes the C++ object in its finalizer. The finalizer is also called from its destructor. An object of this private ref class is created by a public ref class component in the same assembly. When the code in the public ref class component did not specifically delete in its destructor the object of the private ref class, which seems perfectly legal but perhaps not best since it is the equivalent in C++/CLI of not calling Dispose(), the finalizer of the private ...Show All
SQL Server crystal reports and ODBC getting access denied on pass thru
Hello, Environment - Windows 2003 standard server SP1, SQL 2000 SP4 (installed mixed mode) Goal: To have Crystal reports run via odbc dsn using windows authentication. Big Honkin' Problem: I should say that if the users are local admins on this server then the windows authentication works just great, if not a local admin then it doesn't work. SQL gives an error access denied. (this shows in the logs btw.. to the end user crystal displays a generic database error) Since windows authentication failed, I then decided to use the dbo and switch to SQL auth. This dbo did not have a password and everything ran great. Then the IT dept. asked me to give the user a password, so I did. Then everytime Crystal opened, a window would appear ...Show All

Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA registry interface
I would like to be able to write to and read from the registry given a specific address in the registry to write to. Ultimately, I want to be able to distribute a ms excel program with the understanding that it is a 2 week trial and I would like to enforce that in some way where it is not easily gotten around. I would also like to put a check so that the customer does not distribute the spreadsheet to other people. If there are other ways of doing this other than interfacing with the registry that would work well, I would be more than open to suggestions. To answer your first question, yes, it would be possible, but it's going to be a hassle. You'll need to create a separate "installer" program which installs the worksheet a ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SpriteBatch.Draw methods not overridable?
I want to make a component with the same functionality as a SpriteBatch, but it automatically translates, scales, and clips everything drawn with it. I figured I could inherit from SpriteBatch and override the Draw methods, but they're not overridable. I'd be forced to shadow the Draw calls and it kind of blows my whole object-oriented, polymorphic system outta the water. Right now I'm using containment to do what I want, but it doesn't seem very flexible or object-oriented. I have a base component that just passes everything straight to my internal SpriteBatch object and a derived component that translates, scales, and clips everything before passing it on to the SpriteBatch. Can anybody offer a better way of doing what I'm trying t ...Show All
.NET Development Callbacks through delegates via interface
I have a C# server app and a client app communicating via remoting. There are notifications coming from the server to client via delegates. However for this the client exe needs to be deployed in the server folder as well. Is it possible to do this without having to put the client exe in the server folder Can I use interfaces So, the best thing to do is to have an intermediary MarshalByRef object that is part of your common assembly that passes on the server-raised event to your client. This intermediary MBRO will consist of an event and a method called something like LocalEventHandle (which will need a signature compatible with your server event). LocalEventHandle just raises the intermedi ...Show All
