• Windows Forms IDE will not obey they settings for form height and width

  All-- Please help. The VS.NET 2003 IDE will not obey they settings for form height and width. Here is the scenario. I decide that I want my forms to have (Size=800,600) all the time, disallowing resizing. I have myBaseForm from which myChildForm1 inherits and myChildForm2 inherits. For all forms, I set (MaximumSize=800,600) and (MinimumSize=800,600) and (Size=800,600) and (Locked=True) and (FormBorderStyle=FixedSingle). I do >Window, >Close All Documents. I do >Build, >Rebuild Solution. I open myBaseForm and notice that (Size=800,620). OK, I think to myself, the IDE must have some rule applied and needs some kind of specific proportionality or ratio or granularity when setting Size. Fine, I wi ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to launch an App in a ''separate context'' programatically ?

  Hi, I'm having trouble to launch programmatically the process HH.EXE ( with CreateProcess( ) or ShellExecute( ) from another appplication). I 'm having the same error (0, the operating system is out of memory). So, I'm suspecting that the parent process is not able to reserve the necessary amount of memory for its child (HH.exe). Then, I think the only solution is to create the process(HH.exe) in a separate context (because when I use " START--> Run--> Open " to launch HH.exe, everything works well). But Actually, I don't how this can be done. Does anybody know to create a new process, but in a whole new context, separate from parent (programmatically) thanks. That's what I'm using. doesn't work; E ...Show All

• .NET Development Deleting file from fileserver

  I would like to be able to delete a file from a file server. I have code to do it for an ftp server, but u nfor tunately applying this code to files on a file server does not work since the following does not exist: FileWebRequest request = ( FileWebRequest ) WebRequest .Create(serverUri); request.Method = WebRequestMethods . File .DeleteFile; I also have a way to make a temporary z drive and work with code that basically inputs into a command window. The problem here is I am not sure what the command line is to delete a file. Also, the file server will be protected by a username and password, so I need to take that into account. Does anyone know the best way to go about deleting a file from a file server If you leave ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET equivalent of std::set

  Basically, I would like a generic class which stores only key values, is sorted on the key, requires keys to be unique, and is better than O(N) when adding elements to the set. I would have thought this would be the SortedList class, but it takes a key,value pair, like the SortedDictionary. I could use one of these classes I suppose, but it seems like this requirement would be common enough that such a class would exist as part of the standard library. Any suggestions hmm how is the Dictionary different than the SortedDictionary And is there a class like this with just a Key parameter, rather than Key, Value That would be a bit more convenient, since I only have need of one value. Anyway, I tried both in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Disappearing Document ActionTask Panes with Word

  I've been working on a fairly complex Word VSTO application which is about complete, except for some intermitent strange behavior which happens after a document has been saved. When reopening the document ( either the saved one or starting the new one via the application word template) one of two things may happen. 1) the document action pane begins to display and then closes , leaving only the getting started task pane. it is not listed as a disabled application, logging off and back on will fix the problem as if it had been black listed 2) The Document Actions pane stays open, but the two actions pane controls which should be there are not visible, despite code (msgbox(me.ActionsPane.Controls(1).Visible) claiming the control IS ...Show All
