• Software Development for Windows Vista Automatically request Vista admin privileges

  I have an install application that we would like to automatically request admin privileges when it is run . We want to avoid requiring the user to right click on the exe and selecting " run as administrator " I have read that I can put this into the programs manifest, but have not found any detailed tutorial on how to do this. How can I force windows to try and run my application as an administrator under Vista Thank You! Some information on how to use a manifest with a requestedExecutionLevel can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480150.aspx [Developer Best Practices and Guidelines for Applications in a Least Privileged Environment] ...Show All

• SQL Server Day of Week Report with Total and Average

  I have a database that collects equipment useage on a daily basis. I need to generate a report that tallys useage for the day of the week rolled up by the week so that the report looks like: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Week Ending Date: 123 123 123 123 123 123 123 Total Ave Any suggestions, recommendations or references Thanks. If the table you are storing these values into, contains a datetime column. You can use something like this in reporting services: select DateName(dw, dateColumn) WeekDay, someNumber from Table Then do a group by the column WeekDay. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cannot copy usercontrol at design-time

  Hello I have attached a user-control, A, in another user-control, B (both created by me). When I try to copy A I get the error: "An error occurred while processing this command. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." What have I missed (S2005, Windows Forms) Regards Ah, C#, not VB... Components and controls are two different kinds of UI elements. Components don't, normally, have a window. A Timer is a component. Note how they appear in a strip at the bottom of the designer when you drop them on a form. For your RegExpTextBox, I'd assume you DO want to place them on a form in a position that you select with the designer. The best way to do that is to inherit from ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SNMP pdu agent address is 0.0.0.0 when trap sent from Vista

  When I generate a trap from a Vista machine using the WinSNMP APIs the agent address is 0.0.0.0 instead of the IPv4 address of the machine. If I run the same code on an XP SP2 machine the agent address is as expected. The code I am using to generate the trap is below. I am new to SNMP and the WinSNMP API so it is possible I am omitting some important step, such as explicitly setting the agent address. I have searched the WinSNMP documentation and googled for inspiration but I have not found a way to set the agent address. Where am I going wrong Does the source IP show up correctly Can you use that This might need more investigation at our end. Are you are an Empowered or Certified Microsoft parnter ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug in TabControl/TabItem`s content visibility?

  I use .NET 3 RTM. I have TabControl with TabItems.

• Visual Studio Admin rights necessary for DSL Tools ?

  Hi everybody, In my professional context, I do not have the admin rights on my computer. So, now, Visual Studio is not able to run the text templating engine neither the 'gacutil.exe' when I build the solution... Does an install documentation exist in this case, to explain precisely the procedure for the admin to allows a simple user to run the DSL Tools Thanks, OD. No unfortunately not. It is not really a supported or tested scenario. Although you may be able to make it work (e.g. see http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronmar/archive/2005/01/04/346397.aspx for some of the steps you'd need to take) you would have to be granted such a profusion of rights, e.g. over the GAC and shared areas of the registry, that it ...Show All
