• Visual Basic Help - How can I runa VB program without runtimes installed

  Hi, I'm new here and I was wondering, is it possible for me to run a VB 2005 program using the Framework 2.0 on a computer without the runtime I want to do this because for a project I've decided to make a program but the computer I wnat to run it on and show teh class does not have the necessary runtimes installed. If I'm running it off a USB Flash Drive is it possible for me to do something such as install the runtimes to my USB Flash Drive and have the program use the files from the Flash Drive As you know, this is a school so I'm not allowed to install any software and this is the reason I ask this question. Thanks. spotty wrote: Simply create your application and use a click once deployment ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with dates

  I want to add days to a date, but I dont want to count the saturdays or sundays, or party days, how can I do that Thanks for all the help. You will have to do the calculation yourself; there is no intrinsic calculation. Should be pretty straightforward to include weekends (just add 2 for every 5 days or so you want to add, with a couple of exceptions and checks), but 'party' days are up to you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Triggers on TreeViewItems and escaping the routing

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting an attached property by a Setter element?

  I have the fragment below as contents of a <Grid> element. The idea is that if the checkbox is checked the <TreeView> element should only span one instead of two columns. When I check the checkbox the background of the treeview turns red, but the treeview continues to span 2 instead of 1 column. It's a bit like the attached property Grid.ColumnSpan does not get assigned by the <Setter Property="Grid.ColumnSpan" Value="1"/> at all. What should I do in order to achieve what I want Best regards, Henrik Dahl < TreeView x:Name = " Blas " ItemsSource = " {Binding Path=BlasRoot.Children} " d:LayoutOverrides = " Width " Margin = " 0,0,0,8 " Gr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Channels

  Hi, I have the following scenario: IDmmyContract dummy = ChannelFactory<IDmmyContract>.CreateChannel("binding") i would like to know whether i can cache dummy for sometime and use it from more than one thread, so does the contract instance holds context information that are not thread-safe What;s the cost of creating a new contract instance per method call Thanks I see what you mean. In my case i have a web-based app, so you recommend for example to create a one channel per client request, so if i have 50 client requests at one time, i will have 50 channels created. The other way is to create one channel per interface, cache it and syncronize it. what's the best way t ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Authoring software

  Hi guys.  Please excuse my more basic question that is not about advanced content. I have a SD DVD I need to convert to HD DVD.  I've used the now defunct DVD Maestro to do all my authoring and I am proficient with it.  I need a tool, preferably XP compatible, that will allow me to do some HD DVD authoring with that level of flexibility.  The only thing I know of is Scenarist and that may be a stretch for my pocketbook. Are there any other options   It is important that the authoring process does not do any recompression of the content. Thanks, Scott A good HD video source for simulating in the iHD Sim is "IMAX - AMAZON" the WMV-HD version (fantastic 1080p). You can j ...Show All

• SQL Server How to get rid of unused servers in SSMS?

  In Connect to Server dialog box in SQL Server Management Studio, it has a drop-down box with a list previously connected servers. However, some of these servers are not used anymore. I want to get rid of them in order to make a room for new server names. So far I could not find a way how to do this, apparently SQL Server does not store these values in the Registry. Is there a way to get rid of them Thanks. You can blow away all your Most Recently Used lists (including MRU connections) by deleting c:\Documents and Settings\<you>\Application Data\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\mru.dat while Management Studio is not running. Management Studio will recreate the file the next time it starts. ...Show All

• .NET Development FtpWebRequest dies when trying to connect to vsftpd.

  I've got an application I inherited, and it was supposed to use secure ftp to get information to an ftp server. Turns out it didn't have this option set, and when I tried to get it to connect via sftp, it failed. I've run into that problem before with http requests, so found the appropriate piece of code to accept certificates (inherited from ICertificatePolicy), and set the ServicePointManager to use my new class. Well that works, but falls over when getting the response from the ftp server (vsftpd running on linux I think). The response is; 234 Proceed with negotiation. Is there some way that I can get the FtpWebRequest class to recognise this as a valid response Thanks in advance Stran ...Show All
