• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums automating new folder creation within excel

  Hey all, New to this forum and also relatively new to VBA. I apologise if this is a bit long, but I want to make my problem as clear as I can. I’ve created a file tracking system for work with information on customers, projects and who’s working on them etc. What I wish to achieve is to create a macro that will create folders in our shared drive based on the input in a specific row. This will help reduce the time taken on admin. So for a new file entry (e.g. filename; customer; project;…) I would want to create folders for C:\customer\project\filename\ It would need an input box so that the user can input the row or file name that they wish to create the folder for. I will then map this mac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions IDE Question about braces

  In Beginning Visual C# 2005 Express Edition by Peter Wright it states that Visual Studio will automatically insert closing braces. When you enter a { followed by Enter , the VS editior will automatically drop in a closing } as well. This does not seem to work this way for me and I have been unable to locate an option that would turn this feature on. What am I missing Now that I have actually thought about the idea, I agree, after one brace has been entered it would be a great benifit if the closing brace was entered for you. I know from experiance that its normaly something stupid like a closing brace that stops my app from building the first time around, may be its an idea for the next version (well ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to CreateProcess NOT as administrator

  One of our modules is an executable that will always be run as administrator (after getting permission from user). One of its screens allows the user to run a different executable, which the code currently does by CreateProcess. The problem is that since the first process is running as admin, CreateProcess has the second process run as admin also. This is undesirable because it is a security breach (the second process can open browse dialogs that should not have admin privileges in this scenario). How do I get the second to run without admin privileges I do NOT want attach a manifest to the second exe that says it does not want admin privileges because under certain circumstances (not from the first exe), it SHOULD be run with admin privil ...Show All

• .NET Development Difference between BindingList<T> and List<T>

  I wrote a small application that binds my datagrid to a List<T>. It works fine. Then reading some blogs, I found BindingList<T> so I converted my List to a BindindList. It works fine. What is the difference between the two since they both do the same thing. I looked at the methods and yes, there are differences but I guess I am looking for a senario that List<T> can't handle, therefore one must use BindingList<T>. Thanks Ralph Hello All. Ralph: The BindingList<T> implements the IBindingList interface, which gives you several helpful abilities, like notifications when list items are changed, the ability to rollback transactions to the list, and things like that ...Show All
