• Windows Forms Password

  My friend has given me his old pc ( for my son ) which has windows 2000 on it. Problem is that he has forgotten his password. Is there a way to get around the password Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks It is not the BIOS unfortunately. It's the windows log on. I guess I'm SOL, because I do not have the cd/disk to reinstall either. Oh well, I'll just have to buy the boy a new one. That's my luck when I try to save a few bucks. Thanks for all the help.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums saving data in a userform without saving the workbook

  Hi, I have an excel VBA project which interacts with the user entirely through userforms (built it in excel rather than VB since I want to access underlying data from excel sheets for the calculations). How can I export all the data and calculations on a particular userform into a txt file or other file There may be multiple userforms open, and saving will just save one of them, loading will load the data from file, initialise a new userform and load the data into it, all without upsetting the other userforms or the underlying workbook. I'm thinking that I can use one sheet of the workbook as a scratchpad, so when the macro is called, write the userform data onto that sheet, then save the sheet only as a text file by Sheet2.Sa ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) BLinq customization

  Does anyone know if it will be possible to customize BLinq page layout, as well as to alter navigation structure The page and controls that are generated by Blinq are not customizable. After the web app is created, the app can be opened in VS and any part of the app can be changed. Customization of Blinq output is a feature we're considering for the Visual Studio version of the Blinq functionality. The styles used by Blinq websites can be changed. The CSS, browser, and skin files are stored in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\Blinq\Browser Files and C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\Blinq\Theme Files. If you replace those with files you have customized, Blinq will use your files on all subsequent runs. Hope this helps... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions when the mousewheel event called

  Hi, In my application vertical scrollbar control is there. Its working fine if i scroll it manually. But, to work with mouse wheel, i added the mouse wheel event of the control. But this event is not at all getting called. Actually when the mouse wheel event is called. Any suggestions..... Thank u. Odd as it may seem, a VScrollBar doesn't use the MouseWheel event but passes it to its parent instead. Here's an example of a form that scrolls with the MouseWheel event: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.AutoScroll = true; this.AutoScrollMin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Dynamic field content

  Hi I have a category field in one of my work items. The type is a list of categories. The content will change frequently, so i'm looking for a way (besides custom controls) to update the content. Isn't possible to specify new content without having to export and import the process template Regards, Thomas Ardal One thing to keep in mind on the dynamic global list and work items is consideration of state. If you remove a global list value and some work items have that value you may not realize you need to query for that value in WIQ or reports and if ever you 'touch' tht work item you will be forced to change the offending field to have a valid value from the current global list-- this may not be what you always want. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista The method "GetWorkflowDefinition" needs an instance which will be persisted

  Hello, Let me explain the situation: I would like to retrieve the workflow definition of my workflow. I thought that I could use the method "GetWorkflowDefinition". But that method needs to called on a workflow instance. So I need to make sure I have a WorkflowInstance object. Because it is possible that there are no running workflow instances, I am using the function "CreateWorkflow" of the WorkflowRuntime to create a "dummy" workflow instance on which I can call the method "GetWorkflowDefinition". The problem is that those "dummy" workflow instances are also persisted to the database, even when I did not start them! How can I prevent those workflow instances from being persisted ...Show All

• SQL Server Using a parent-child dimension where you track and report as per the history
