MSBuild doesn't know how to build VS deployment projects. Upgrading to VS2008 won't help you either. The only option is to run VS through the command line with the appropriate switches. In your command prompt (assuming VS is in your path), run "devenv.exe /?" for the list of switches. Scott. —In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday. —Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mean.

I created a separate project, form and controls then put the code in. After it worked well, i created a new form in my application, copied and pasted the controls and also the code. The code I used is basically the same as this one. http://www.codeguru.com/vb/gen/vb_misc/icons/article.php/c5597/[^]

Hi, Label.AutoSize property "When this property is set to true, the Label adjusts its width to display its entire contents. This property is typically set to true when you use a Label control to display various lengths of text, such as the status of an application process. You can also use this property when the application will display text in various languages, and the size of the text might increase or decrease based on the language settings in Windows." If AutoSize is false, you must allow for sufficient Size. Hope this helps.

Its becoming a curse for me on this forum of finding solutions to my problems. In this case, I had to change and use the server 'IP address' instead of the server name 'myServer'. The proxy server was not resolving the IP address correctly given the server name.

Got it and a bit embarrassed, its amazingly simple. here are my lines, I used the **AfterSelect** event of the TreeView to set the font of the node, its parent and all its ancestors to bold, when another node is selected, i set the new node and its ancestors to bold, while returning the previously selected node to the normal font of the TreeView . By removing the while... statement in both methods, only the selected node is set to bold and back to normal. I know there are most likely better solutions but this one works fine. Dim previousSelectedNode as TreeNode ... ... Private Sub Treeview1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles Treeview1.AfterSelect Dim xnode As TreeNode If previousSelectedNode IsNot Nothing Then DeSelectNode() e.Node.NodeFont = New Font(Treeview1.Font, FontStyle.Bold) xnode = e.Node While xnode.Parent IsNot Nothing xnode = xnode.Parent xnode.NodeFont = New Font(Treeview1.Font, FontStyle.Bold) End While previousSelectedNode = e.Node End Sub 'Deselecting a node Private Sub DeSelectNode() previousSelectedNode.NodeFont = Treeview1.Font While previousSelectedNode.Parent IsNot Nothing previousSelectedNode = previousSelectedNode.Parent previousSelectedNode.NodeFont = Treeview1.Font End While End Sub

That is good information to know! I have hear of people distributing connection strings by reading it from text file, XML file, INI file or a DSN file (.udl). I have to try your way. Thanks for the update. :) Pete Soheil DigiOz Multimedia http://www.digioz.com

Yeah, but for that to work, you have to have something installed that knows what a PDF is and how to render it, like Adobe Acrobat Reader. Without it, the web browser control doesn't know a damn thing about the PDF and can't render it. The same goes for Excel files, Word documents, AutoCad drawings, ...
