With our latest release we are starting to install shared assemblies into the GAC, which in itself is no big deal. However, we do have a problem for which I did find a solution, but the solution might not be very attractive or even viable for Vista. A while back we added methods to a Logger class that accept a stack frame number to obtain file name and line number information, and many of our C# component use these methods. Internally the Logger class makes use of the .NET StackTrace class which in turn relies on the corresponding PDB, which must be in the same folder as the assembly. And all this works perfectly. Now we've got our assemblies in the GAC, which mean…

Hi! I have a WPF application that I'm building in Expression Blend 2. There's a main window (Window 1). On Window 1 there are a number of buttons. Those buttons each open Window 2 in a new window, but depending on each button, Window 2 gets different images/media. Right now, The buttons open Window 2 in a new window. I want to change that. I want the whole application to be built on tabs. So that Window 1 will be in a tab, and the user can click a button and it will open a new tab that has Window 2's contents. And on a different button, it opens another instance Window 2 in a new tab, just with a few changes. Is there a simple and easy way to do this? Please hel…

I have a little situation that I can't seem to resolve and was hoping someone might have some suggestions ... I have a Windows Service (Serv.exe) which runs under LocalSystem when a user is logged-on (it is only running when users are logged-on), this service is responsible for performing various administrative tasks, one of which is applying registry (.reg) files when needed. The Services uses REGEDIT (/s /i) to merge in the registry files (.reg) - and this is where things get rough - these registry files related to HKEY_CURRENT_USER (for the user currently logged on) - obviously this causes issues because regedit is being run as a LocalSystem (which is not current…

Hey guys and gals. First post on dotnettalk forums but I've been on your sister site vbtalk. So, hey there! I have some general questions about ADO .NET. I've done some reading on MSDN and such and I'm still a little foggy. I'm porting some db access code from VB6 to .NET. In VB6 I used ADO 2.5 reference (Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library). Now, when porting to .NET code, I am not referencing this VB6 reference. Instead I am using the Imports ADODB statement. 1st question: Using the Imports ADODB statment, is this considered ADO .NET? When reading about ADO .NET I don't see this listed as a data provider. Therefore I'm confused if Imports ADOD…

Hi, I have a single line of code in VB6 which I wanna convert to .NET: Here is my VB6 code: If CDbl(Right(Results, 1)) = 0 Then Rights = 500 I already have converted it and here it is: If Convert.ToDouble(Results.ToString.Substring(Results.ToString.Length - 1, 1)) = 0 Then Rights = 500 Just to make sure if I converted correctly and there is no shorter/better way specially for Right$ function, please let me know if my conversion is OK? Thank you very much.

I have recreated System.Net.Mail.Message, because Microsoft did not see a reason to implement the Serializable feature. It looks like everything in Microsoft's Mail.Message class can be duplicated by organizing and naming strings appropriately. I want to implement IDispose in my class so that it cleans itself up nicely, and (with the way I designed my class) all I need to dispose of are strings! My email attachments are loaded from the local PC using a Stream Reader, then loaded into a string buffer (which gives me a 2 GB capacity - I'm hoping this is going to work, but it is still being developed). My custom Message object handles attachments by creating a List …

Hi All, I am facing issues after migrating our application from VS 2003 to VS 2008. We use Asp.net and C#(as code behind). Therea are 2 dropdowns in the page. On change of values of these dropdowns we need to grop the data accordingly and display in a datagrid. By default the data will be sorted on the column that is selected in the dropdown. After the data is displayed, if user clicks on some other column in the datagrid header, data should be sorted on the column clicked by the user. But after migration to VS 2008, when user is clicking on some other column in the datagrid, application is not changing the sorting column. Example: I select "Age" in the dropd…
