• Visual C# Screen update inside for loop

  Hi friends, I think this is stupid, but don't know how to solve it :-) I don't know how to let user know how many items we've processed... for (int i = 0; i < totalItems, i++) { // do some tasks here /// task... task... task // Now here is where I want to // update status bar saying we've processed "i" items, // I think it works, but doesn't show anything, until you get to the // very latest item labelStatus.Text = i + " records updated" ; } Any ideas on how to let the user know how many records it's processed ... Thanks a lot!!! (I'm not using multiple threads, and for this application is not necessary) well you could do Application ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Having trouble with setup

  I did the manual installation of the Visual C++ Express Edition and it tells me as the last step in the directions to click on setup.exe and follow directions. The problem is when I click on setup.exe it tells me that it has a problem copying the C:\hiberfil.sys and when I searched for that file on my computer it was not there. What is this file and how am I supposed to fix the problem Thanks! C:\hiberfil.sys file is a system file that is normally hidden and will not normally appear in the root folder directory for the C drive. You can make it visible.

• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 Uninstall/Install Issues

  This is not the common inability to uninstall IE 7. I have read through many of the problems other peoples have been having trying to uninstall certain versions of IE 7 to get the newest version. This is not what I am trying to do. What first started the issue was that I had installed IE 7. (Bad choice to begin with. I am a firm supporter of Mozilla FireFox.) After installing IE 7, I attempted to use the program for a website that is IE specific. However, after double clicking the IE 7 desktop icon that had been created, IE 7 had created an immediate error and had to be closed. I couldn't tell what error had been created but I know its on a different line and with a different code every time when I read the "detail ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .NET backwards compatibility

  Hey everyone, I'm new to C# and the .NET framework. I recently decided to check it out because I heard about XNA and wanted to play with it. I was looking around for some things that were written in C#, games specifically and I came across Arena Wars. When I try to run it it tells me I need a 1.x version of the .NET framework, I have 2.0 installed. Does that mean that it's not backwards compatible and that end users will eventually need two or three different versions of the framework installed in order to reliably run programs written in C# Yeah the only version of the .NET framework I have installed is the 2.0. So am I correct then that newer versions of the framework are not backwards compatible with ol ...Show All

• SQL Server Server options are not being executed from local programatically code??

  Dear all, For example, executing a DTSX stored in a server, execution is fine and successfully but the log file attached to that DTSX is not created at all after the execution. Otherwise if I'm going to execute from the server everything is fine: log file is created and gathering the usual information. Let me know if exists any option for to enable this from the own DTSX. If I run local packages log files are created without problems. Thanks in advance, No. What is the path to the file I'm trying to determine if its a UNC: \\MyServer\Myfilelocation\Myfile.log or a local path: c:\Myfilelocation\Myfile.log -Jamie ...Show All

• SQL Server Restoring a database with T-SQL

  Is there a way to restore a database backup file to the default data directory in a specific SQL 2005 instance using T-SQL I know that you can use the command RESTORE DATABASE, but that will restore the database files back to it original location. I also know that I can use the WITH MOVE option also, but is there a keyword or some special notation that I can use to make sure that the data/log files are moved to the default data directory for a specific SQL 2005 instance I am trying to avoid cases where the original file location does not exists in the current file system. Thanks in advance, Rodney No, but that would be a nice feature to have built in. I have my own utility that I built to create ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office RTF Woes in Outlook 2003 via VSTO 2005

  I'm working on an Outlook 2003 VSTO application to generate an email in a specified format. I need the resulting rtf email to be reviewable before it is sent. Using redemption is NOT an option for 2 reasons: 1) it’s unlikely the Air Force will authorize a 3rd party add-on, and 2) My preliminary tests with redemption indicate that while the sent email message is indeed formatted when sent programatically, you can’t review and send it manually. - I get a blank page. We’re talking about some very simple formatting here – Bolding and underlining – but I can’t find a reliable way to make it happen. Do you have any ideas I got the help I needed with this problem from Sue Moshier at http://www.outlook-code.c ...Show All
