• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. Dave, I followed your favicon suggestion... revisiting the site does NOT restore the shortcut icon. Also, as others have pointed out, IE7 does not permit a sho ...Show All

• .NET Development problem using app.config codeBase element with private assemblies

  I hope someone has some suggestions to my problem because I seem to have gone through all options. My problem is with an app.config codeBase and assemblyIdentity section. According to the latest MSDN docs, you can use the assemblyIdentity and codeBase elements to locate a PRIVATE assembly outside the root application directory. I have been able to make this work only by strongly naming the assembly and providing a fully-qualified href along with version on the codeBase element. I would like to do the following: <assemblyIdentity name="WCFServiceLibrary" /> <codeBase href=" file:///../WCFServiceLibrary.dll " /> The MSDN docs say I should be able to do the above. Only the name attribute of the ass ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio with SP1 is really unstable

  Until VS 2005 + SP1 i don't rember that in VS 2003 and VS 2005 that i had crash on VS. But after SP1 every day at least five times VS crashes, and all unsaved work is gone. I'm experianced VB 4.0 - 6.0 developer so you know that Ctrl + S is something that i know the best and this helped me so many times, but not always. My question is: Does removing SP1 is a best idea for now. There is no one bug, because it fails for no such reason on many different actions, without any rule: Here is one of the errors: Application Error: Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b133, faulting module mshtml.dll, version 7.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bd75, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000b2227, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bootstrapper problems

  Hello all, I've been trying to figure out this problem for a while... it should be extremely basic, but I've looked on the MSDN website and in a vb.net book, and still can't find the answer. I've download the .net bootstrapper, but i simply can't figure out (for the life of me) how to use it, or how to change application settings etc. How do i do this! Thanks so much!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What are the recommended books and sites for learning C# so I can then make a game using XNA?

  XNA has made game development easy, but to use the XNA framework you still have to be able to develop with C#. You don't have to be an expert, but you do need to understand the basics of Object Oriented development and the general syntax for the C# language. That's great for those of us who are already developers, but there are a lot of people interested in XNA, that are not already developers (and some of them are developers who just haven't given C# a try yet). Every time a new game developer hopeful comes into the forums frustrated because they don't understand the code or where to start, we give them a generic answer about taking some development classes, find some books on C#, check out some C# tutorial sites or point them towards To ...Show All
