• Software Development for Windows Vista Configuration editor for workflow

  Hi All, Is there a .config editor for WF Ed Ed, I haven't seen such one, but, thankfully, I don't think it would be much needed. The app.config configuration for WF has a small, very simple schema, and there really aren't too many parameters to configure (mostly adding services to the runtime and possible setting one or two parameters for each service). This is in contrast to, say, WCF, which does have a pretty significant and complex configuration schema. ...Show All

• Visual Studio File > Open Project is very slow displaying directories and files

  My laptop has 1G Ram, 1.60 MHz processor, XP Pro. My Visual Studio os version 8.0.5... When I try to open a project on my hard drive it literally takes 3 minutes for the file box to populate the contents of the next directory down, then another 1 -2 minutes to populate the next directory down. (Taskmgr Performance tab shows 500 - 600 Meg of Memory used and the CPU utilization is a 5% or less.) When I open VB05 it shows up one time in Task Manager Applications Tab with a Status of Running. When I click the file box current folder a second VB05 appears in Task Manager and both VB05 entries show status of Not Responding. After about three minutes the file box enables me to navigate quickly and one of the VB05 entries disappea ...Show All

• .NET Development Difference b/w .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable

  Hi, Can someone explain me the difference between .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable Thanks & Regards, Ken The .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable means the .NET Framework 2.0 runtime, the .NET Framework 2.0 is the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK. If you are going to run .NET 2.0 applications, you just need to install .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable. But if you are going to also develop .NET 2.0 applications using Visual Studio 2005, you also need to install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK. Visual Studio 2005 already include both .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable and .NET Framework 2.0 SDK which will be installed to your system if it found that your system is missing ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I override the default Text when extending a toolbar in VS 2003 version?

  I wanted to extend the toolbarbuttons with mytoolbarbutton. How can I override the default Text when extending a toolbar in VS 2003 version Here is the sample I wrote (I know this is very awkward workaround) and wanted to make it proper. public __gc class MyToolBarButton : public ToolBarButton { private: String* _title; public: MyToolBarButton() : ToolBarButton() { ... } __property String* get_Title() { return this->_title; } __property void set_Title(String* value) { this->_title = value; this->Text = this->_title; } } Instead of get_Title and set_Title, I want to use get_Text and set_Text (or whatever way to override the default text property) like this. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Browser waiting

  I'm trying to put together a relatively simple script for a webbrowser game that provides a service in-game by interacting with the site and doing some stuff with the material within it. I have gotten around most of the problems of how to make it work, but there's one thing that I don't know how to do properly: making the script wait for the browser. In short: I'd need some way of making the script check that the browser has finished downloading the page before attempting to do anything else. Here's a snippet of what I currently have: Public Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles MyBase .Load WebBrowser1.Navigate( "http://www.WEBSITE.com" ) End Sub ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot use anonymous methods inside SQLCLR...

  Hi all, The problem is: when you're trying to call in method MyMethod anonymous method that doesn't use local variables , deployment of the assembly will fail referring that MyMethod tries to store smth. in the static variable. Indeed, looking at the compiled CLR code, you can see that anonymous delegate is cached in the private static delegate and the call looks like: If(ClassName.privateStaticDelegate == null ) ClassName.privateStaticDelegate = new MyDelegate(HiddenMethodName); CallAnonymousMethod(ClassName.privateStaticDelegate); Is there any workaround to fix this problem. P.S. I googled about this problem and found only one article on it: http://www.ayende.com/Blog/default,date,2005-12-26.aspx ...Show All
