• Visual Basic Label not visible on form when Text property is blank.

  I blanked out the Text in design time since I only want it to display when a button is clicked during run time. However, I wanted to relocate the label on the form and there's no indication of where it is during design time. Is there any way to display the label on the form and access its properties in the Properties window Thank you. I found the down arrow in the Properties window that lists all the controls on the form -- don't know how I missed it before. From there I can change the Text property temporarily until the label is relocated to where I want it. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Questions on managing a large number of users

  I have a question on whether CardSpace can be used in the following scenario. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a system that will employ approx 250 laptops and approx 2500 users. I want to use CardSpace to store information about each user and provide the authentication for the users. For the most part, each user will only be using 3 different laptops, and each laptop will have a total of 100 users. I would like to be able to store all the cards on a main server, and have the server download the cards to the laptop as needed. I also have several fields on the card that are expiration dates, making the card invalid. Can something like this be done in CardSpace Thanks for the help, Joe ...Show All

• Visual Basic best way to store two different types of data in a list

  I am writing a command line utility that I want to use to calculate the % of space used by file type. I am wondering if anyone can reccomend to me what is the best way to store the data Basically I want to store the extension of a file name, and link that to a size. As the size of each file is determined, the list will be searched for the appropriate file extension and the size of the current file will be "added" to the appropriate "file extension", in addition a running total will be kept. The file extension would be stored as a string and the file size as a long. At the end the running total will be used to assist in calculating the percentage each file type is using.

• Visual C# How to Write to SD Memory?

  Hello, I need to write an application that writes to a register inside SD (Secure Digital) memory. The SD memory is attached to the PC through a USB card reader. I do not know where to start. I checked msdn documentation, but I got lost for a long time. Please help me get started, with a couple of pointers. Thank you. T.I. Thank you very much.

• SQL Server Restoration of publication database backup

  When I tried to restore backup of publication database, time taken for restoration is too long [ 4 hours]. The actual database restore takes only 20 minutes but the stored procedures used for cleanup replication takes the remaining time. Is the issue related to my environment or the cleanup replication stored procedure Sound like there isn't problem with the restore. If the cleanup (which is needed to ensure consistency) takes a long time, you might want to check to see if there is locking/blocking that can be avoided.
