I've developed a Word template in VSTO. When published it consits of several files including a Setup.exe, several msi files etc. Due to the fact that my company's security policy won't allow me to store dlls and exes on the server I need an alternative way to provide all the necessary stuff to the end user.

Is there a way to specify what forms are Locked when opening a Modal Dialog? I want to have a specific form available even if a Modal dialog is opened.

We have a vendor that sends CSV files as email attachments. These CSV files contain statuses that are imported into our application. I'm trying to automate the process end-to-end, but it currently depends on someone opening an email, saving the attachment to a server share, so the application can use the file. Since I cannot convince th...

I have some friends who are 'old-school' VB6 database developers and I was telling them about .NET and its features, specifically ADO.NET. In our conversation, they brought up the following reasons why they would rather stick with ADO than move to ADO.NET: The Dataset is disconnected (What if power fails?) The same amount of code stil...

I have two forms for my application, that are visible in the Windows taskbar. When a modal dialog is popped up on the main form, the secondary form is locked. However, when the user clicks on the secondary form on the taskbar, it appears over the modal dialog box, and is basically frozen. Is there a way to ensure that the modal dialo...
Like in the title. I have no idea what to start with in order to implement a search engine like the one in Wrzuta.pl to a VB.NET 2008 application. I reckon this must be possible since I have seen an application doing this at http://www.wdownloader.yoyo.pl/download.php?cmd=click&id=1 - and a lot of mashups online, too. If anyone by a...
If I have Visual Studio 2008 and I target a .NET 2.0 application, can I still use Lambda Expressions? My understanding of Lambda Expressios is that its a feature built into the compiler, not the framework, so my conclusion would be that I could use Lambda in .NET 2.0 application. Can someone please tell me if this is so? ...
I have a file name, like "Foo.dll," for a library that I know is in the bin directory. I want to create an Assembly object for it. I'm trying to instantiate this object from a class that's not a page, so I don't have the Request object to get the path. How do I get the path I need to use Assembly.Load()? ...

Dim Bar as New BarClass(Foo) However, I don't see any syntax to do this. Instead I have to do something like: Dim Foo(1) as BarClass Foo(0) = new...

I have an App where I'd like to be able to edit any type (font, colour, point etc.) at run time and use any of the .Net default type editors. (e.g., font/ colour picker). Rather than re-invent the wheel, I decided to use the property grid control. If I pass an object of, say font, to the grid, it lists all the fields separately, with n...
Hi, I'm trying to write some generic code in VB.NET that determines whether or not a SQL server database table contains an identity column and, if so, to return the name of that column. I'm working in Visual Basic 2008 Express and have created a SQL database, "MyDatabase" with 1 table called "MyTable". Within that table, I've got 3 col...
Hello. I made a control that inherits directly from ErrorProvider. I thought that applying it the ToolboxBitmap attribute would be enough to get my control to have the same icon on the toolbox as the original control has, but it doesn't. It's strange, as if I add the control to the form, it will appear just as it should, but it doesn't c...
