• cooldoger MSRDP.OCX and Office 2007

  Hi Everyone, I have a small application using the msrdp.ocx control, everything works great until I test the application on a machine with Office 2007 installed, it just simply crashes, cold hard crash. Looking at the error log file is like looking at mumbo jumbo. The application runs fine, the crash occurs when I'm trying to unload the form with the msrdp.ocx control. If I run it in design-time, it will also crash however if I place a breakpoint anywhere, it will not crash. Something is going on with respect to timing and I have no clue what it could be; I have error handling everywhere but it doesn't catch it. Anyone else experience a problem with the two components working together Any help is appreciated. Thanks Nuno ...Show All

• Devi48354 Hi, Tailor POINT is a STRUCTURE with more than one property and is treated as a single item.

  Hi, I'm having trouble coming to grips with the use of arrays. This time I need to put a number of co-ordinate Points into an array. for example startPoint = 50,180 endPoint = 100,180 I've initialised my array : Dim arrowCoord(,) As Point = New Point(,) {} Then tried to input data with this. arrowCoord(0,0) = (startPoint, endPoint) I'm getting the error message that a ')' is expected at the comma between startPoint and endPoint. Would appreciate any advice. Whe I get this right I need to write the data to an Sql table, so would appreciate a little help with that also, as far as the extracting the data from the array.

• J.A.J. Datagridview Scrollbars Freeze up after binding datata to the control

  Problem: Scrollbars are not functioning after the datagridview control is populated with data. I am having a hard time trying to figure this out, but I am loading an excel file into a table, and then binding the table to the datagridview control. However, after the datagridview control is filled. The scrollbars seem to be frozon. I have tried loading a table with 10 rows and tried other sizes as well but same result. The only way, I was able to get the scrollbars to function correctly was to hide the form and then show the form again. After showing the form again with the datagridview already populated the scrollbars function correctly.

• Dany V read special characters from textfile in visual basic .net 2005

  Hi, I am trying to load a simple textfile into my program. The file contains some swedish characters (aaoAAO) which for some outlandish reason isn't loaded.

• John Veson ImageLooper Control

  I am working on a VB tutorial, and at the same time trying to create my first control called ImageLooper. This is pretty straightforward, a control box with a picturebox1 inside, a left arrow button and a right arrow button (button1 and button1 respectively). The idea is, with each click in either direction, the next or previous in line image will display, depending on which arrow is clicked. Each button works individually ok, but when I switch from the left arrow button to the right or visa versa, instead of going to the next image down or up, on the first click, it takes one step in the opposite direction, displays that (wrong) image, then, with subsequent clicks, starts moving through the images correctly. The language is below: ...Show All

• Barbie G Streamwriter in VB 2005

  This SHOULD be easy. I must be missing something. I'm assembling a long string and trying to write it out to a file. If I display it in a message box or textbox, it looks fine. But when I write it out to a file, it gets chopped off. I thought it might be my data, because it is supposed to be HTML, but it seems to be related to the amount of data, because it chops off at about the same number of lines no matter what the data. I tried breaking it into smaller strings and doing two writelines, but it still does the same thing. lname = names(1) outFile = "D:\Class of 57\updatehtm\" & lname & ".htm" output = New FileStream(outFile, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write) fileWriter = New StreamWriter(outp ...Show All
