I'm just curious if there is a way to take a setup program apart to explore the application. Let me put this into context: Let's say I just downloaded the latest smilie add on for IM and email, but an suspect of spyware or other malicious intent during the installation process. Can the...

I'm trying to figure out how to write a Windows service that performs a task on a set interval, however I'm having really poor luck finding a tutorial that actually works for me. I assebled this little app from two tutorials, and despite my best efforts, it will not run properly. It installs...

I've come across some syntax that has never been explained to me in any book, tutorial, or reference doc and it's pissing me off (to say the least!). This is the example code from MS on using the Threading.Timer object. using System; using System.Threading; class TimerExampleState {...

I've written a little test app that creates an event log entry every few seconds. Problem is, it works fine except that after it creates 4 log entries it stops creating entries. The service does not stop or error. All it does it stop creating entries. If I restart the service, it works again...

The [(my)service name] service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example: the Performance Logs and Alerts service." This happens when you try to start the service after installation. Googling this error returns results...

I'm trying to create a new base class with an enumerator as a property; that is to say, I have a property I'd like to limit to only a select list of options. The only specific example I can relate to is the manner in which an SQLcommand specifies it's CommandType. scmdMyCommand.CommandType =...

I'm having the problem documented in the link below: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325696 Just wondering how to work around this problem, as I'm obviously not the first person to have to deal with multidimensional XML docs. TIA! Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

I'm looking to install WSS on my web server. Problem is, it already hosts our existing website (the default site, however renamed), complicated by having Outlook Web Access(OWA) setup on the site. I was reading the manual and read that WSS takes over the default site during installation. I'm...

I'm just working for the first time in detail with datagrids, and am wondering if you can do things like: - Set a column to read only (but not the entire grid) - Have preset, but unique column widths - Have the size change to fit the data displayed (e.g. shows the exact number of rows with no...

My first time working with dataviews and as usual it's not going exactly as documented! I'm trying to perform and extremely simple filter on a dataset I've populated from my SQL DB. The row filter is dynamically created when the user selects an option from a drop down listbox, hence the...

In terms of function, not in syntax. If regKey1 Is Nothing Then 'do stuff End If If (regKey1 Is Nothing) Then 'do stuff End If I'm curious what the parenthesis do. Thanks! Jeff W. MCSE, CNE

I have a software product database that I wish to extract only the list of software manufacturers. No problems there. What I need to know is if I can filter redundant entries? Example, if I query 'select Manufacturer from Software order by Manufacturer' it returns all the software records...

I've been testing a new program, however I'm done a particular phase. Now I would like to clear all the garbage test records out of my table and start fresh. I can clear all the records no problem with a delete * statement, however the primary key column does not reset, continueing to add new...

Let's say I have a simple two column table in SQL (2000). First column is the primary key(int) and the second column is just a text column. What would the syntax to create this untyped dataset in a vb app look like? I ask because I'm having trouble getting one of my untyped datasets 'updating'...

I'm having trouble with a column in my datasets. I have a typed dataset, created from one of my tables in my SQL DB. I have an untyped dataset that contains my data. When I try to 'merge' the datasets I'm getting an exception because the typed DS has a unique key column that cannot be null...

I'm been troubleshooting this issue for sometime now and feel I have arrived at a conclusion, however would like a second opinion (or more). This began with the replacement of a printer on a clients PC (running XP pro SP2). They upgraded their older HP laser printer (connected via parallel)...

I've merged data from my untyped dataset into my typed dataset. I've confirmed the typed dataset does contain the new data, however when I call the sqladapter.update(dataset) method, nothing is uploaded to the database. When I query the status of the dataset it does confirm changes. Why would...

I've been reading up on how to do this and it appears I have a few options so i'd like to get some experienced programmers feedback. I have a function that retrieves XML data, processess it for formatting issues and puts the data into a dataset I've created (which is returned at the end of the...

Okee, following the MS documentation trying to get this to work, but am having an issue with it not actually reading or loading the XML. To begin, we start with a string (glb_returnedXML) which equates to...

I'm having a bit of a time figuring out whether or not one actually can or cannot use pre-existing AD accounts with Sharepoint Team Services. Reading the documentation (there's my problem right there! *rimshot*) it states; "When you use Active Directory account creation mode, you cannot use...
