• Internet Explorer Development IE7 RC1 hangs upon open - keeps trying to connect

  I just tried installing IE7 RC1 onto my computer. Symantec anti-virus was disabled upon install. When I open up IE7, it tries to connect, but freezes my system. Tab stuck in Connecting... mode. The internet connection is set to Detect Automatically and doesn't have a proxy sever. I was able to connect previously when using IE6 and can connect without a problem when using Mozilla browser. Don't forget you can right click in th IE icon, select property and get into the settings with out starting IE. Then go to Manage Add-ons. On our campus it was the Yahoo companion add-on that was causing the problem. Hope this helps. =) ...Show All

• Visual C# Form.Close() or Form.Dispose()????

  I am trying to figure out what i need to do too well let me explain differently.....I have a login in form then once i login a new form comes up with some information in it but the login form is still there.....So my question is How do i get rid of one form when the new one is loaded From the looks of it Me.Close() isn’t being called until after your Form2 instance has been closed. When you call ShowDialog() on a form it becomes the... master form if you will and prevents you from going back to the one that spawned it until you close it. To get around this, try replacing Me.Close() with Me.Hide() putting it before infoForm.ShowDialog() so that the first form is disappears before opening the new one. ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to locate Assembly asdlfkjasdfkljasd

  OK, this one is a real head scratcher. I have a paticuarl application on my beta server that flips out almost every time I modify the source code. It gives me an error saying that the cached assembly doesnt exist. Sounds like a permission issue right But I've checked for all of that... and my other apps work just fine. So I google and find some info on app-pools, so i stick the app in its own app pool. Still.... same problems. I spent an entire day fighitng with this thing... all to no avail. It is a win 2k3 server with .net 1.1, and 2.0 installed. I have currently ONLY .net 1.1 apps setup in IIS. Could this be caused by a flaw in my code If so How This is extremely frustrating because its preventing me from coding :| Someone ...Show All

• Visual Studio IE plugin, symbols not loaded

  Hello. I built an Internet Explorer plugin that is installed on the customer machine via a cab file, it is loaded as any IE plugin. The plugin generates, in case of a crash, a dump using MiniDumpWriteDump, the dump type is DUMP_MINI. The symbols file is generated on a XP Pro machine, with VS 2005 compiler. The scenario is the following: I receive the dump file, generated on another XP machine (it seems that it does not matter if Home of Pro edition), generated under IE6, I open it in VS 2005 and the symbols are not loaded. First I thought it's the same problem as I had before (please see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=763981&SiteID=1 ) and copied the dll and the cab file in the same folder with the sy ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLinq designer not installed correctly

  I've installed the latest August CTP version and when following the DLinq designer walkthrough I don't see a DLinkObjects template in the add new item dialog. Somehow this is not installed correctly (I also tried a repair but it didn't work). If I create a file with a .dlinq extension it does open up the designer and I can drag tables from the server explorer. Any advice is welcome. Tx, Harry First of all, the DLINQ Designer was a feature of the May 2006 CTP, not the August ADO vNext CTP. Since the May CTP was a prereq for the August CTP, I assume you have installed it. As for the DLINQ Object template, I suspect you are working with a LINQ Web site. By default, the designer is not present ...Show All

  Hi all, I'm using sharpmap to render some shapefiles as dynamic tile sources, and I've run into an issue with 3D mode.  The same code seems to work flawlessly in 2D mode, so I'm kind of stumped.  Here's the nefarious javascript: function AddHazardLayer(layername, zorder) {  try {   var bounds = [new VELatLongRectangle(new VELatLong(42,-127),new VELatLong(29,-108))];   var tileSourceSpec = new VETileSourceSpecification();   tileSourceSpec.ID = layername;   tileSourceSpec.TileSource = GetTilePath3D() + "&LAYER=" + layername + "&QUADKEY=%4";   alert(tileSourceSpec.TileSource);   tileSourceSpec.NumServers = 1;   tileSourceSpec.MinZoom = 1;   ...Show All

• Visual C++ Adding objects to ArrayList?

• .NET Development Multiple elements in a configuration section

  Hello All, I would like to know whether it is possible to have multiple configuration elements with the same name within a custom section. Changing the element name to say "operation1" instead of "operation" (see sample file below) seems to work but i would like to use the same element name. I think i have to set something like maxOccurs=unbounded but not sure where to do it inside my custom classes. I have already implemented custom classes inherting from ConfigurationSection,ConfigurationElement and ConfigurationElementCollection to implement the stuff below. Am i missing something Currently if i add multiple elements with the same name within the section i see the following error "The element <opera ...Show All

• Visual Basic Recommended source for icons?

  I got my version of Visual Studio Basic .Net from the Microsoft website, but it looks like the installation didn't include the icons collection. At least, one of my Basic books refers to a collection of icons that comes with .Net, and I don't have it. Anyway, can anyone recommend a public domain source for icons that I can use in my .Net applications Thanks. The style and look of icons have changed dramatically over the years. If you really want a professional look to your applications, I recommend going to iconshock.com. You have to pay for them. But I think they are much more professional looking and "current" for modern applications. And I actually find their prices quite reasonable conside ...Show All

  I want to create a Word addin that allows our client to create documents such as invoices and contracts in Word 2007. There are three important constraints...... The documents must be centrally stored within a database. The documents must be based on a templated that is generated on information in the same database. It must be possible to (on-the-fly) add 'free text' content controls that are also stored in the database.... For example....
