I have created a new mwnu item derivative TagMenuItem which (not surprisingly) has a new tag property. (simply because that is a simple addition)
I have also made a new TagMainMenu control.
What I want to do is to make a new menu editor such for my tagmainmenu class such that it creates TagMenuItems rather than manu items.
Any Ideas???
Thanks in advance
Rory

The Menu designer is found in Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll, unfortunately its a private class so you can't access it normally.

I am trying to install VS .Net on Windows 2000 Professional. It asks me to run the Windows Component Update. When I do this it seems to take forever. Almost appears that it is frozen. Is it supposed to take so long or has something gone wrong. It has been over an hour for me now.
Thanks

Welcome to hell. Did you have the beta installed before hand ? I had to do a full uninstall of the beta, AND any add ins I had running, and in the end I found that the only way to make the install work at the end ( which you're still a long way short of ) was to bring up the task manager and kill tasks until it completed.
Installation took me 8 hours +, on W2000 Pro.

Installing VS .NET takes a long time. Don't immediately jump to the conclusion that it has hung. It took me one and a half hours, and I have a good CD-ROM (24x), a fast HD (ATA-100), and a fast processor. (And that was the professional version that I installed, I can only guess how long the more expensive versions take.)

Well I am still stuck at simply installing the Windows Component Update. I did learn that the install has to be killed after some time ( by luck and later by a response to my query).
I managed to install two parts of the windows components update. Now an stuck with a) Setup Runtime Files and b)Microsoft .Net Framework.
Also this is a clean install. Brand new ghard drive. With a new installation of Win2K Pro and SP2.
Now at 4 hours where the progress bar is complete but it will not move to the next component.
Will reboot and then post an update.
Thanks

This is driving me nutsssssssssssssss. Now my IIS will not start in Win2k. Right now I wish I could go back to DOS. 
Now when I boot my computer FTP and WWW services just will not start. .Net is still not installed. I cant even uninstall IIS because win2k installation first tries to shut it down which it cannot because it is still trying to start the bloody thing.
Am I the only one having to live through this? Any ideas?
Thanks.

I installed mine just last night on Win2K Pro as well. Same problem. I had noticed that even though Norton Antivirus was deactivated before the install, it was starting up mid install and things would freeze. I finally uninstalled all of my norton products and it went better. After getting past the components part, it did apear to lock once. While I was waiting I tried to browse the web and notice the IE was also frozen. I therefore stopped explorer and restarted it and from then on the installation went fine.
Hope this helps.

I don't want to use default location in VS.NET. How can i change location for each ASP.NET project? Thanks!

I think you can create a virtual directory before hand (named after your project) then you can create your project which would put the files there.

Can anyone provide an conclusive answer on .NET's role in process control. One of the big selling points for .NET is the 'Services' concept. This is (if I am not mistaken [please correct me if I am wrong]) a stateless environment. A example of a Web Service often given is the 'Ticket purchase'. That example works great; I provide the information, marshal it along with the method request and I get a response. But what if i want to make a request like, Purchase tickets, but only when they fall below this point, and notify me when the purchase is made. Just wonder'n....

Having just purchased VS .NET, I am wondering whether .NET apps will run on the Win9x/ME series of OS's - i.e. have MS actually released any .NET run-times for Win9x/ME?

Hello!
OK - I know you have to install the .NET Framework on the machine you want to run your .Net-Application on, because it is not native code in your MyApp.exe. Now there's a tool called "Ngen.exe", which builds native code from any assembly. You will find the result then in your assembly-cache under
\%WINDIR%\assembly\NativeImages1_vx.x.xxx\MyApp\xxxxx\ (use Command-Prompt)
If you copy this native-code-file to another directory and start it, it only says, that it is no real Win32 program.
Could it be possible, to convert all used assemblies to native code and then run them without the framework? Or am I absolutely wrong?

That's not quite right.
Here's my take on the ngen util.
It does the complete JIT-compile for your EXE, but doesn't fold in the necessary .NET FCL classes. IE your app will still be xKB + 20 MB. 
If it did do what you suggested, al a Delphi, then there would be no need for the .NET framework.
Cheers,
Simon

I just got started writing Windows-Apps in C++ and C#. The .Net concept seems to me much easier, exspecially because it has a "real & full" object oriented structure and not that confusing ResourceFile-concept of MFC. If I use a button, I can see how it is instantiated, properties are set etc. As a bottom up C++ Learner it is somehow confusing to me, to describe Buttons etc. in Resourcefiles instead of coding them into real c++ sourcecode. The big disadvantage I see at the moment is, that even if you want to distribute a small Tool, you force the user to install the whole .NET framework. But maybe in some months, nearly every Windows-System will have this Framework already installed.
My Question is now: As a Newbie, should I better continue writing in C# or C++/MFC? And in this context, is it possible to use some more "advanced" features in .Net like playing sounds, use external dlls (lame, zip etc.) or accessing the serial port for example?
Thanx for your opinions

You should learn both. .NET makes things easy, but C++ is a more powerful tool. You can't know too much, so don't feel you need any limits, just learn anything you can.

OK, thats absolutely right. Now here's the big but: Time. I think I've to decide which language to use (which Package I buy for my own). Maybe I continue with C++/MFC, because as my projects may get bigger, I don't want to hit on any limits and then rewrite the whole stuff in another language/environment.

If there is a Win32 API you want to call, you can call it in your .NET application. With that said you can do just about anything with .NET that you can with C/C++ the question now becomes, should you?
You have to remember that a .NET app will run about 80-90% slower than the C/C++ app that does the same thing. If your program can tolerate that then there isn't any reason not to use it unless you need to target Win95.

Good hint- Thanx. Maybe I'll call ngen on all my assemblies first to speed up the whole thing. On todays PCs a "normal" App (no big calculations etc.) should work, I think. And as I learned how to import extern dlls today - there doesn't seem to be any big restrictions left. Hopefully the C#-community will get as big as the MFC-Scene is today - that helps a lot on solving problems.

I think this is an exaggeration. Where did you get that information ?
There are so many different types of program.. that statement sounds unreal.
