• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Detect another applications GUI controls in C#

  Hello, I'm new to C# (and OO programming in general). I'm looking to make a program that detects controls on another application and manipulates those controls. For example, can detect a radio button on an MSI installer and click it, or detect fields of a web form and fill them out. I'm sure there must be .NET libraries for this sort of thing, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I could use AutoIt instead, but that would hardly be good C# practice :). Can anyone point me in the right direction Thanks. Spying is not the purpose, though I suppose it could be used as such. The purpose of my application is automation of other applications for testing purposes. So if you had a web or desktop based appl ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity project misbehaving

  Hiya I have a solution that contains a project that has all of my custom activities in it. I have a 2nd project in the same solution that contains a sequencial workflow for testing my activities. When i make changes to the activities, the toolbox doesn't update automatically in the way I would expect. New activities seem to go in, but older ones disappear. If I choose "Show All" in the toolbox, most of them are there but greyed out. Some disappear from the toolbox entirely. One activity that I haven't changed in 2 months has decided to disappear entirely only last week and now I can't get it back. I have retried closing and re-opening, reseting the toolbox, removing all references to the activity project, then restarting VS ...Show All

• SQL Server How to uninstall SQL Express Reporting Services without uninstalling the database engine?

  When the SQL Express Sp 1 with Advanced Services came out, I just had to install the Reporting Services. I did manage to install it, but after tampering with it, I've messed it up seriously. So now I'd like to uninstall Reporting Services, but not the whole SQL Express, or more spesifically - not the database engine. But is this possible I've tried going through Add / remove programs and selected Change components instead of Uninstall. I've tried selecting uninstall as well, but this seems to only allow me to uninstall the whole thing. I'd rather not do that. Off course, if this is the only way to uninstall RS, I'll do it, but I thought I'd check here first... So, anyone got any advice Kaisa M. Lindahl Lervik ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deleted configuration in project build menu/Not possible to create configuration with same name as deleted

  I have a configuration that I have deleted in VS. Under the "Build" tab under project properties the deleted configuration is still available. Is this a bug in VS In the dropdop configuration in the VS toolbar the deleted configuration is not shown. If I try to recreate a configuration with the same name I get the error message "Outout path is not defined" when building, but if I look at the build tab for the project the outout path is correct. If I create a new configuration with a new name everything builds OK. Hello Ok, thank you. But still I think it's strange that I get the "Output path is not defined" with this configuration.
