• Visual Studio Express Editions Button to URLs

  Ok, what I want my program to do is: Go through a list of URLs, show progress in a progress bar, and just reload the URLs every 30 seconds. I don't know how to make the button go to the URLs. It doesn't need to display them or anything, just go to them. I also don't know how to make the progress bar link to the button. well how are you wanting to run the process I mean in a web browser control or in an instance of IE in a webbrowser control its simply as you just call the Navigate(URL) method. a process is also simply however you will get several instances of the process running and you can't really get the existing one and tell that to navigate to a page - you can get an instance of it (the exi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Launching ClickOnce app from a popup window in IE7

  Hi, I'm having problems launching a ClickOnce application from a web page in IE7. All I'm doing is performing a window.open call, passing the url to the *.application file for the app. In the code below, I have two buttons: "Launch" - This button does a window.open, passing the *.application url. When clicking on this button, the ClickOnce application opens fine "Popup" - This button uses the "createPopup" method to create a popup window, containing a Launch button which is essentially the same as the Launch button above. However, when I click this button on the popup, the ClickOnce application does not open. The Status bar in the browser momentarily shows the URL for the Click Once application, but t ...Show All

• .NET Development Socket Send - Multiprocessor Data Corruption

  I have an application that sends out large packets over a tcp socket. If smaller packets are sent, the packets reach their destination without corruption. However, the tail end of larger packets are corrupted. If I run the application on a single processor machine, the large packets are not corrupted. This problem only seems to happen on multiprocessor machines. I print out the packet before and after the send, and the packet seems to be correct in both cases. What about the Socket.Sent (c#) could be causing the data corruption The application is single threaded. Here's the code I'm using to connect to the Receiver application. // Initialize server socket. ServerSock = new Socket(AddressFamily ...Show All

• SQL Server Service Broker Queue Reader Question

  I'm creating an app that could potentially send thousands of messages to a Service Broker queue in a matter of seconds. The stored proc that reads records off the queue will call a remote stored procedure for each message to save data in a remote database. My question is this. How does Service Broker determine how quickly to read those messages off the queue it was sent to Ideally I'd like Service Broker to do most of its work when SQL Server isn't busy doing other things instead of contending with SQL Server while it's doing perhaps more important work. Is there any way to control this How does this work Thanks very much - Amos Rushi, Sorry I took so long to respond. I hadn't noticed you respond ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Uninstall SP1 on data tier problem

  I'm having many of the same issues that several others are having when trying to replace SP1 Beta with SP1 RTM on TFS. However, this particular problem is on the data tier, which I have not yet seen documented. When I run the uninstall for "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (databases) - ENU Service Pack 1", it moves along nicely, and then fails. The log file for the uninstall contains the following lines: MSI (c) (E4:BC) [09:12:08:874]: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (databases) - ENU - Update 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (databases) - ENU Service Pack 1 (KB922996)' could not be removed.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Plot graph

  In order to plot a real time graph (data versus time), is it possible to plot using GDI+ Is it a recommended way btw Or theres other better solution I wrote this about a year ago. I imagine the the HorizontalDisplacement is the amount that the entire graph is shifted to the right and X_Axis_Verloc specifies how far down the x axis is. They all have to be positioned. On a timer... "a" is a member variable of the main class is accessible anywhere in the main class.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Can AJAX be integrated into WPF/E or WPF/XBAP?

  Hi, Can AJAX be integrated into XBAP or WPF/E .....If yes, then please let me know how is it possible ...Please suggest some information on this. Regards, Santosh Kalkeri It can definately be integrated with WPF/E. Take a look at this tutorial on using the two together: http://blogs.sqlxml.org/bryantlikes/archive/2007/02/08/simulating-data-grids-in-wpf-e-part-1.aspx With XBAPs you don't really need AJAX since you can call webservices directly using C#.

• Visual Studio Express Editions how do I create a file viewer that filters file visibility based on user input?

  I want to create my own custom file explorer that will enable the user to view only certain files based on criteria that the user types in a text box. For instance, if the user were to type 'elvis' into the text box, only files with 'elvis' in the file name would be shown. What would be the best way to go about implementing this (i.e., what controls should I use , what methods are available that would help me accomplish this ) thanks for any help :) Use a listbox control to display the files...and use the GetFiles method of the directory class to fetch an array pf files to be displayed in the listbox ...Show All

• SQL Server Data driven subscriptions scripting

  Hi, I have a reporting environement where the same report must be sent to a long ever changing list of recipients with different parameters values for each recipient. My idea is to use data driven subscriptions and put back the administrative responsibility of managing this where it belongs, the business. To achieve this goal, a one stop shopping user friendly management interface should be provided. The list of features is as follow; - pick list for existing reports - auto-discovery of parameters and their values - List of existing subscriptions with add/edit /delete buttons - management of tables content from this interface - creation of related data driven subscriptions from this interface Right now, I think I can tack ...Show All

• .NET Development How to read the record data (byte array) while writing a Metafile (WMF/EMF) and edit it

  Hi! Need your ideas urgently! I have a metafile which I wish to convert to PDF on the fly. The idea is to create a metafile template with placeholder text, which will be parsed and replaced by user information at runtime before generating the PDF. When editing the metafile, I have progressed to the following steps: 1. Called the Graphics.EnumerateMetaFile() method, which calls the callback method (lets call it ‘Play’) 2. Called the callback method and obtain the record data public bool Play( EmfPlusRecordType recordType, int flags, int datasize, IntPtr data, PlayRecordCallback callback) { byte [] dataArray = null ; if (data != IntPtr .Zero) { dataArray = ne ...Show All
