• .NET Development How to get an embedded resource that is in a sub folder?

  Hi, I have an embedded resource that I am trying to retreive in my code via "System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream()". Everything works fine if the file is put in the ROOT part of the project. However, I am trying to keep things organized, so I made a subfolder in the project called "Resources", and placed it in there.... However, I cannot figure out how to retreive the resource now that it is in the Subfolder. I would think it would change from foo.bar, to Resources.foo.bar, or something similar... However, that is returning null for me... I also put a breakpoint in my code and put a Watch on a call to 'GetManifestResourceNames()'... this function returns all the resources, but once ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions "Access to .... is denied". Can't add projects or forms

  For some reason, when I want to add a new form or project, I get an error message like the following: Access to the path "C:\Documents and Settings\Luke\Local Settings\Temp\cs3efs2z.onq\Form.vb" is denied The message is not exactly the same all the time, as the folder locations after "\Local Settings\Temp\...." and the file name changes depending on what I want to add. It does not matter if it is a plain form or dialog/splash form. I am in desperate need to get this fixed somehow because I need to finish a major work for school by Monday. Strange problem, you've lost access to your own Temp folder. The IDE uses it to generate temporary compiler files, the 8.3 folder name chang ...Show All

  How do I reset all breakpoints I am using VS C# 2005 Express Regards, Saleem Yusuf OK, like I said, if it's not there, it's not there.

• Visual Studio Simple request for help regarding Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta

  I have one simple question and I cannot begin to figure out where to ask it. 1) With Visual Studio 2005, if I install the Service Pack 1 Beta, will my project and solution files be compatible with a standard installation of Visual Studio 2005 that does not have the service pack installed I ask this because this beta release has no GoLive license, it is not recommend for deployment in production scenarios, and even if you have a support contract in place with Microsoft there is no formal support before the final release of the service pack. I have never seen such a big carrot that has no dietary value. Hopefully someone can guide me to the proper place to post this question.

• Software Development for Windows Vista SetupIterateCabinet failing from Custom Action .dll

  I use Visual Studio 2005 to deploy my application. I have a Custom Action .dll that's called during the Install phase. (The entry point is the standard Install( MSIHANDLE ).) I'm installing a .CAB file and am calling SetupIterateCabinet() from this Custom Action .dll and it is returning ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Appears as though Custom Action .dll's are not run with the UAC elevated privileges of the .msi file. I tried adding a .manifest to give the .dll elevated privileges, but then Windows XP barks that there is an unrecognized token. I need this .msi file to run under both Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista. Because this is a Custom Action .dll there is no way I can wrap the function in a COM object and call it with ...Show All

What modification i have to do to run this application on PDA devices in my code or in my settings... Thanks in adavance... Vinay Instead of a windows application, you'll need to create a Smart Device application and choose which OS you are targetting at - Pocket PC 2003, Win CE 5.0, etc. Then basically you need to copy your code over to the new application and test.

• Visual C# Help required to solve circular dependency problem in vb2005

  I am working on an application design that requires two projects to cross reference each other. I found the excellent Formfactory / Interface example/solution (listed below) on this forum. Unfortunately I am not C# literate. I understand and appreciate the method, but my attempt to convert it into vb2005.net has been defeated by the C# syntax. I would greatly appreciate someone (multilingual) providing a translation into vb2005.net Here is the C# solution: The pattern to solve this is abstract class factory , together with the singleton pattern. What you have to do is the make a classfactory for the forms . This classfactory you can place in your main program, which anyway MUST reference your assemblies, thus it w ...Show All

• SQL Server writing back a zero to a writeback table

Any sugestions I got this message from the applix support: "The Data-entry problem is caused by Analysis Services. Entering a '0' in an empty cell does not create a record in the writeback-table because it only stores the difference between the existing and the new value... The only workaround is to enter some data in the empty cell. Save this value and then change it into '0'..." The question is now - where to place the Ape :-) ...Show All
