In Windows 7 you can pin a program to the taskbar so it appears like a quicklaunch item. In my program I need to get a list of all the programs that are pinned to the taskbar. Does anyone know how I can do this programatically, either through an API call or through a registry setting?
View 3 Repliessetting the form opacity programatically in the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events.The problem isn't with the actual events, the problem is that the events occur in places where I don't want it to happen.So in my project, I have a form with 3 user controls in it. The user controls are docked in the form so no actual space from the form is available to the user.
I have the methods:
Form1_MouseEnter(~) Handles Form1.MouseEnter, UserControl1.MouseEnter, UserControl2.MouseEnter, UserControl3.MouseEnter
Form1_MouseLeave(~) Handles Form1.MouseLeave, UserControl1.MouseLeave, UserControl2.MouseLeave, UserControl3.MouseLeave
when you enter the form, the form opacity is set to 1. And when left, the form opacity is set to 0.7 .However, what happens right now is obviously that when the user changes the mouse position from one user control to another, the form opacity flickers (turns to 0.7 and back to 1 really fast).

I can't send email via ASP.NET and sent an email to my web hosts for some help and was told to modify my security settings and was sent a link:[URL]..I've read what it said there and tried setting <trust level="Full" originUrl="" /> in web.config, but then I get the error:
This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using <location allowOverride="false"> from an inherited configuration file.
I've not set any other web.config file.So I asked the web hosts again, and asked if it was a server setting which I cannot change, but the response I got was just:
You'll need to specify a more specific path. Which is lovely, but I've no idea what that means! Having done a bit more digging I am wondering if I have to set up a separate trust file, is this correct? Could someone point me in the direction of the correct way to set up my Trust level (I realise "full" is probably incorrect as well?) as I really don't understand what I am supposed to do!

Is this even allowed in the web.config? I have 3 websites. One for Dev, UAT and PROD. Now for each sites I have different user groups for each set up. I just want to find a way that I can just find what URL i'm at and point it at the certain user group. I'm guessing I have to make a web.config for each because you can't do conditional statements but I'm just making sure. If I have to make a web.config for each how can I go about setting that up?

View 2 RepliesI have this VB.Net 1.1 project that I have to make some changes to. There is a flag in the App.config file. If it is false, the page just loads a splash screen and runs the program normally. If it is true it first opens a login window. VB.Net is not something I've ever worked with before. I can't for the life of me figure out where the logic for the picking the startup object is. In the property pages, Main.vb is always set as the startup object, but that's not even the window that loads up when the flag is false, it always comes after the splash screen.
View 2 Repliesim trying to find a better way to end the application im working on right now programatically, sometimes a user simple wants to end it all and since in the properties of my project the program is set to only end after all forms have been closed, (oddly enough i close all forms and it still is executing so i use dispose method and then end) what would be the best way to end the application and free pc memory for everything attached to it? i use:
form1.dispose()
form2.dispose()
form3.dispose()
me.dispose()
End
as ive readed online, end simply stops the app and nothing else, which makes me think, does its data still persists in the ram? i want to clear everything and not leave useless resources anywhere.

I want to save a datatable to the app.config file (My.Settings) and what i have understand is that you can use the Datatable.WriteXML to convert it to XML and then save that string to the settings.
But how do i rebuild it from the xml? Do i have to create my own code to do that or is there a method?
I have an XML configuration file to which I will occasionally add new elements and, for ease of reading outside of the application, I want to keep it sorted alphabetically - by the "key" attribute of the "add" elements.After a lot of trial and error - using code I've gleaned from here, there and everywhere - I've come up with the code below. It appears to work okay, but I'm only just starting to learn Linq to XML, so I'd like to know whether this is an appropriate method or if there is a better/ more efficient method I've missed. It just feels like I might be taking an unnecessary step in recreating the entire file element.
Dim newEx = cfgEx.<appSettings>(0)
newEx.Add(<add key=<%= sNewKey %> value=<%= sValue %>/>)
Dim sortEx = <configuration>[code]....
EDIT: I think I've worked out a better way to do this - without explicitly recreating all the parent tags in thesortExvariable:
Dim newEx = cfgEx.<appSettings>(0)
newEx.Add(<add key=<%= sNewKey %> value=<%= sValue %>/>)
Dim sortEx = From c In newEx.<add> Order By c.@key Select c
newEx.ReplaceAll(sortEx)
cfgEx.Save(sXmlConfigFile)

I would like to commit the data put in a checkedlistbox to the user.config. I have found a way to commit them to my.settings but no matter what Save() method I call, it does not commit the new data (that is not bound to a control, through the propertybindings) to the user.config, either immediately or when I shutdown the application. Which means, when I loop through the settings when the application starts back up, the data is not there to be added back to the checkedlistbox. I have put save methods in the formclosing events as well as when the data is created in the my.settings. using my.mysettings, my.settings and my.settings.default. Thank you in advance for your input.
This first method is a called when a button is pushed. it checks the text and then calls the next method (AddProperty) which should add the property to my.settings and save it to user.config, but my understanding is that it is not written to the file till the applicatoin closes.

View 13 RepliesI'm trying to insert a couple of fields into a csv config file and then update all other rows in the file at the same index by copying the previous 2 entries. I'm reading through each row and converting the row into a list(of String) because it seems to be the most flexible way. Ine initial insert works fine, but the code below doesn't. The actual insert code is:

pcIndex is the list index value from elsewhere in the code at the insertion of the 1st of a pair of values into one row. I need to update that index point and pcIndex +1 in all other rows. However it's not doing anything. Tried using lstSteps.Insert, InsertRange, etc. Am I using this right? Is there a better way? It seems to be over-writing the entry rather than inserting a new column and moving the others up, so it appears the list capacity value isn't updating - so I'm left with the initial row with 4 more entries than the others sticking out of the file.

View 2 RepliesCan values from web.config be read completely at runtime or does the application make a copy of the current web.config upon initialization.
Essentially, I'm wandering if I make a change to web.config if it will take effect on the users next postback or if they would need to initialize an entirely new page load. In particular, I'm interested in sections of the web.config like sesssionState and when a change to timeout would take effect.
I've never thought about it before; but I recently learned how I could modify the app.config file to add/remove trace listeners (for example, to redirect all of the Trace.WriteLine output to a text file).But I don't quite understand how it works? I know the corresponding C# code to do the same as the config (in this example) - does that code get generated/executed before my application's entry point?
