• Visual Basic Visual Basic Compiler Error Hotfix

  Hi all i just want to know when is going to be released the fix for visual basic compiler error &H8013141e&   this is already reported in the microsoft productfeedback site. i think this is a very urgent patch that must be released asap and please do not repond that i should go back to vs.2003 because i have lots of code developed in VS 2005 to framework 2.0 ..   JSB PS: this error pisses me of, i need to restart VS.IDE every 5 minutes. i think this is too bad for a recent relesase product ( its full of Bugs ).   Unfortunately, there’s just no way that we can release any code except via official releases which have been fully vetted by Quality Assurance, have se ...Show All

• .NET Development Parsing HTML

  Is there any functionality to parse HTML tags in .NET. There is extensive support for XML, but I haven't found much for HTML. They are similar, but sometimes, HTML is not as strict, as in, not having an end tag, etc. What I'm looking for is similar functionality to the java class: import javax.swing.text.html.parser.*; Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks. .NET Framework itself does not provide a HTML parser class. However, you may use SgmlReader or .NET Html Agility Pack as I already answered in this thread . ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0B2 - Losing list of included locations?

  After installing B2 I went to options and set search to include most of the folders on my C drive. After doing that search status showed that it was going to index 120K files. I tried a search and didn't get a match I thought I should have. I went to options and the included folders list doesn't include the items I'd previously added. I added them again. Again, search status said it would index 120K files. It is a few days and I just opened options again and the list of included folder is empty again! Please try to install the latest version from http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx kbid=917013 and reply back if you still see this problem. Thanks, David Peng (MSFT) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using Windows Form/User Control (embedded in IE) in Windows CE.Net

  I have a windows user control targetted for tablets (Windows Xp and Windows CE.Net). The user control in question will be embedded in IE using <object> tag. It works pretty well with the tablets with Windows Xp and Windows Xp Embedded. But I am unable to figure out a way to make it work on Windows CE.Net. The reason for this behaviour is due to the fact the IE has to download the dll refered in <object> tag and create an instance of class referenced. How do we change the property of the IE window in CE.Net to allow it to download the dll and use it Is there a workaround available Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Parag ...Show All

• Windows Forms msiexec gets blocked by antivirus software

  Hi, my setup.msi program has been freezing whenever it starts up, it will just open up and hang at "Preparing to install..." and will hang from there. If I try to cancel, it will hang on that, and when I try to end the process, it will close the form, but I can't stop the process. I've noticed that when I disable auto-protect on Norton Antivirus 2005 corporate edition, the setup program can then run. Do any of yall know how to get an antivirus to not block the program automatically It is annoying because if I forget to disable it, the only way I can can get anymore work done on the program is to restart my computer to end the process, I cannot recompile because the process is still in use.

• Visual C++ Command Line Compiler mscorlib Location

  Is there a command line argument in Microsoft's C++/CLI compiler that prevents the compiler from looking for mscorlib.dll in: c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\ Our build environment requires that all builds be consistent and reproducible. This means that there should be as little reliance as possible on the configuration of the particular machine used to build the software. We require all components referenced during the build process to come from a single shared location, not from the user's local hard drive. C# and VB both provide the "/nostdlib" command line argument but I cannot find anything similar in C++/CLI. Any thoughts Try using: Tools + Options (Show all ...Show All
