View 1 RepliesIs there any work around to this Error: [URl]..I have a Windows Service that needs to interact with the desktop (actually just the Systray). This service is working fine under WinXP, but not under Vista. After reading the article above I find it difficult to comprehend that Microsoft would simply just "do away" with support for "Interact with Desktop" because of a flaw in the OS (this is an OS problem, not a developer issue). I've never heard of any professional organization removing a feature because they can't figure out how to make the feature secure?? I'm hoping this article is just out dated or was not for the released version of Vista.Under Vista Business x64, the option to "Allow service to interact with desktop" is a check box in the Service Properties (Log On) tab, so if this feature isn't available for Vista, when is the option displayed?? But it does appear that the check box does nothing when checked.

Im planning to create a Remote Desktop Application and I'm having problem with viewing other computers monitor or screen.
Im not asking for the code on how to do it. and one more thing is it safe to use winsock in creating a client/server application?
Let's say 10 desktop shortcuts, all with different names/icons, point to and can start the same exe application from the same directory. Is there any means for the application to know the distinct name of the shortcut that was doubled_clicked. Also is there any means for a running application to know if it was started by command line, by a double_click on the exe, by a double_click on a shortcut that points to it, or by another process' call?

View 1 RepliesQuestion: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver.That is working, so, so far so good.My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.
I have an application that is written in VB.NET, using the System.Windows.Forms.Form as the front-end GUI. It runs perfectly on my Windows machine however recently there is a business requirement to convert this application to run as a web application so that people could view them in their blackberries when they go to the URL. Is there any quick way to perform such a conversion or I will have to translate the code line-by-line for such cases?

View 3 RepliesWe are creating a Chat Application for our chatnetwork, we originally made it in VB6 works like a beauty and converting to VB.NET At the moment, it joins the channel fine, nothing wrong with this displays everything it needs to however we are in the process of showing emoticons.While we were on XP in debug mode and release mode, the emoticons showed.Once we moved the compiled version over to Vista Home and Ulitmate the emoticons would not show, we have looked and looked all over google and have not come to a conclusion, today we even moved the whole Project folder over to Vista, ran it in debug mode, and the images still wouldn't show in the RTB. Works fine in XP but not Vista?
View 7 Repliesthe system is going to have two front-ends - one web application and one desktop application.The desktop application is going to be coded using VB.NET, and the web application in PHP. There's really no reason why the desktop application can't be replaced by a web application as well - except that one of the programmers seem to really want to code it in VB...However none of us have experience working with either of these pairs .
P.S. hosting service will be gotten from some provider and not be on the client's own server.

View 4 Repliesmy application has "picked up" the old style button design. In Vista the buttons have a slight shadow / 3d effect, however, my application appears not be using the default style and instead applying the older XP, Win98 typ appearance. At first it didnt bother me, however, not its annoying and rather than rip all my code out and apply it to a new project, i would prefer to remove the offending code call.
Its a long shot, but i thought i would see if anyone here knew what might be causing it?
I have an app that opens and closes several other forms. How can I stop the fade in out of the forms when they are opened/closed in used in Vista/7? It just gets annoying.
