• Visual Basic anything that resembles Gosub?

  Can you make something in a sub that works almost like the gosub command I dont want to make a new sub and call that, cause i use a datareader and different variables in the current sub ( and i also would like to use a gosub command in the printdialog sub) Can you make a sub or fuction in the sub or something Any ideas There's nothing in VB.NET that is an exact replacement for gosub.

• Windows Forms Event name when form is brought back into focus

  Form has been minimised, i then use alt +tab to bring it back into focus. What event name is this. There doesnt appear to be an event name focus. sorry if this is really obvious, is early :) Does anything happen before this event I listen to this event, have a breakpoint as soon as it is called, yet the breakpoint is never reached, an exception happens. whenever the application loses focus then gains it again, this occurs. It says : Cannot access a disposed object named GroupBox. But from what i can tell, the UI on the form doesnt contain a groupbox and shouldnt contain one. ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework CSF vs. WCF ("Indigo")

  I took a brief look at the architecture of both frameworks and they looks very similar. If a company is looking to do a major implementation over the next few months of CSF, shouldn’t they just wait till WCF is released Are there major differences between the two Hi, At a very high level, WCF provides a way to create individual services (and leverages latest WS* protocols) . CSF provides a way to create and tie the services together to form consolidated services and manage them. CSF3.0 uses WSE3.0 and later version of CSF is probably going to use WCF.

• Visual C++ How do I compile for Windows 95 using Visual Studio 2005

  I have an app that we recently migrated from VS2003.NET to VS2005. It is a standard unmanaged MFC app. It worked under windows 95 before migrating, but fails to load now due to the fact that IsDebuggerPresent() is not available in Kernel32.dll under Windows 95. My code doesn't call this thing. Rather, some aspect of ATL does (we use MFC, which appears to be merged with ATL these days). I found some info in NewAPIs.h which indicates that you can force the compiler to use its wrappers so that your app still runs under 95, but I can't find any way to force ATL/MFC to actually use said headers. If I include newapis.h before including any MFC headers, I get errors regarding missing typedefs. If I include it after, I get errors regarding mult ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System [Urgent Help needed] VSTS unable to log into ADFS!

    Hi All, First of all, here is what the performance rig is like 1) Two webservers in clustered environment on a subnet. 2) One ADFS server in the same subnet as the webservers for authentication. 3) One DB server on the same subnet. When user navigates to the http://webserver/ they are redirected to the http://ADFS/ machine which would display the user a page where he/she would choose their federation server, once they choose their federation server this page would place a cookie and would not be displayed next time user is redirected for authentication. After choosing the fedration server user is presented with a login page which is hosted on the ADFS box, user would put their CORRECT user name and password ...Show All
