• Visual C# Stop sharing a directory (CReating SHare)

  Hi, I am using a ManagementClass to execute the Create method in the Win32_Share class, this works fine for sharing a directory. However I don't quite understand the Delete method. You'll notice from the documentation that it takes no arguments, does anyone know how it works Or does anyone know another way of removing a share from a directory Thanks Hello, I'm posting the answer to this question since I was having the same problem and found the answer somewhere on the web. All you have to do is something like this: ManagementObject share = new ManagementObject ( "Win32_Share.Name=\"something\"" ); share.Delete(); where \"something\" is your shared folder Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSF ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Breakpoints do nothing

  I can't get breakpoints to work. I can set them, but they don't actually do anything (the program does not stop when it hits a breakpoint). As far as I can tell I am building and running in debug mode. I've tried re-installed VC++ 2005 Express several times. I've never gotten breakpoints to work. I'm a noob. Keep that in mind if you try to help me. OK, there are two things you can try. The first is to set a break point right at the start of the main function. The second is to use the f10 key to step through the program to see if you actually hit the breakpoints you set. ...Show All

• Visual C# GIS/Mapping/Geocoding OCX for .NET?

  I'm looking for a GIS/mapping/[reverse]geocoding toolkit for the .net environment.

• Visual Basic Unable to modify VS2005 Binding Navigator in the inherited Form

  Hi! I put a BindingNavigator on a Form1 and set Modifier=Public. Then I created an inherited Form2. I put a BindingSource on Form2. But I cannot to set any value of inherited BindingNavigator because they are disabled. I need to set "BindingSource" property to the created BindingSource. Is it possible in other way than at run-time Stone I understand your frustration around this issue, but we disabled this scenario intentionally (for ToolStrips and ToolStrip derived controls such as BindingNavigator). We chose to not make the engineering effort it would have required to enable this scenario for VS 2005. This decision was not make lightly and we understand customers would like this functionality, but the existing visual inheritance arc ...Show All

• Community Chat .NET

  What is the difference between .NET and java. If both are platform independent, can you suggest which is the most preferable based on platform independency. .NET application needs to have .NET framework running on the machine where you want to run it. In case of Java, you need to have JVM/JRE running to run Java application. As per my knowledge, JVM/JREs are available for different plateforms but DOT NET needs to have MS operating system. Note: there is possibility to run DOT net application on non-Microsoft plateform using some 3rd party application like MONO. Hope this helps you understand the difference. Well, I will love to work on DOT NET.... ...Show All

• .NET Development Synchronised Time

  Hi, We have client applications that need to synchronise their data with one another. For this reason the time on each of the PC's needs to be the same (within 2 minute margin is fine). The synchronisation procedure runs every hour but certain clients can only synchronise after months (laptop-user)! How can we ensure their clocks are synchronised at all times If there is a webservice somewhere on the internet that provides the time, how do we read it Also, does anyone know of two-way synchronisation code/documentation worth looking at Thanks D. Windows has built-in time synchronization. Normally, a computer logged into a domain will synchronize its time with the domain controller. Alternatively, any Windows computer ...Show All

• Visual Basic Object Test Bench

  in VS2005 Standard, when I right click a class in class view, select create instance, and say OK, I get "create instance failed", with details = 0x80004005. I've tried this with several different classes...which have warnings but no compile errors, and which I don't think are "generic" (because I don't know what that is and didn't try to make them that.) Any suggestions Thanks! The Object Test Bench is available in Standard (I have standard, and I have Object Test Bench). The only thing mentioned as being only available to Professional and Enterprise is the Class Designer.

• Windows Forms Problem in DataGridView

  I have created my own custom datagridviewcell which supports richtextbox and maskedtextbox properties. But these properties will come only at the edit time. For example if the color of the text is set as red in richtextbox, it will be shown as red at the edit time. Once i go to other cell it will be shown in black colour. Also in masked text box if the mask is set as shortdate then only at the edit time it will show like "__/__/____". Remaining time it will not show text like this. Can anybody tell me solution for this. (i.e., I want to show coloured text and "__/__/____" format in datagridviewcell at normal runtime, not only at edit time) Hello Wang Chi, My DataGridViewCell Class and it's editing control Cl ...Show All
