KevinBurton How to display Non-True Type Font (draft 12 cpi) from Crystal Report in VS.NET 2003
Hi guys! I need your help... I want to use draft font 12 cpi in crystal report and print it to Line printer (Impact printer). I have already changed the font to draft 12 cpi, a non- True Type font, in the report designer but the problem is when I try to use it for printing or when I use the Crystal Report Viewer.

Draft font is available for the printer that I used ...Show All

Geosultan dynamic structure?
I am reworking someone's code similar to the following structure: Private Structure SpeedData Dim JulianDate As Double Dim MinSpeed As Double Dim MaxSpeed As Double Dim AvgSpeed As Double Dim TtlOps As Long End Structure This structure (based on fields in database tables) is used in several functions. The structure worked fine while the client used a rigid datasource. However, they are now reading data from numerous sql server tables many of which have different fields.

Aleniko29139 Abstract/Generic Enumerations?
I am trying to create a base class that contains a property (custom enumeration) that is different depending on the needs of the instantiated class. Is there an easy way to do this that preserves intellisense If this is not possible, is it even possible to have a generic/abstract enumeration dataMonkey, Could you explain in more detail I have never heard of an abstract enumeration. Do you mean Enum or IEnumerable Are you saying you want to have a property that behaves differently depending on how it is subclassed, i.e. a polymorphic property That is definitely possible... But I think your question is going over everyone's head. Thanks Matt Hi MattDe_MS, ...Show All

KevinGW Multiple Instanced Unmanaged DLLs
In VB.net unmanaged DLLs are implicitly shared using "declare" and must be explicitly shared using "dllimport". Is it possible to access unmanaged dlls through an instance rather than as shared routines Currently, the API doesn't return anything about the array to VB. The array is completely contained in the DLL. I hadn't thought about returning the array to VB and letting each instance of the VB form have its own array. That would probably work very nicely. I'll try it out. You don't necessarily need to return the whole array to vb, but you should at least return an id or handle that uniquely identifies the data that you will be working with.
