• coastal skier := Operator Help

  This might seem kind of stupid, but what does the := operator do Named arguments come in especially handy if you have optional parameters, rather than having to put in values or lots of commas to denote the different fields, you can simply name your parameters and call them using the := operator.   No it's not stupid. Those as "Named Arguments". Normally arguments are position sensitive, using named arguments are not. Here's a brief example from Help. Sub studentInfo(ByVal name As String, _ Optional ByVal age As Short = 0, _ Optional ByVal birth As Date = #1/1/2000#) Debug.WriteLine("Name = " & name & _ "; age ...Show All

• Superchick System.IO.PathTooLongException error

  After converting my vs2003 win form app to vs2005, I got this System.IO.PathTooLongException error. (see below for full error) The strange thing is, it is ok on day one, but got it on day two after the convertion. So I can still "run the last successful build", but not be able to create new build.

• Jacobeo Problem With WriteLine and Integer Variables

  I am trying to write a program that writes some information to a text file. The problem is that some of these are integers, and it dies with an unhandled exception whenever I try to make it run. The problem code block is: line.WriteLine(Count + " " + RockScore + " " + PaperScore + " " + ScissorScore) All variables are Integer Type.

• James Rea Visual Basic 2005 IDE Performance Hotfix Released

  We've received feedback, both directly from developers and in the forums, regarding slow performance of the Visual Basic 2005 IDE in certain situations (larger projects, projects with many errors, etc.). I’m sorry that these issues made it to production and degraded the performance of the IDE. The Visual Basic Performance team is working hard to address these issues via hotfixes and the upcoming Visual Basic 2005 SP1 while we work on engineering changes to make sure that issues such as these never make it into a shipping product in the future. Based on this feedback and forum posts, we've been working with customers to address these performance issues. We recently released a performance hotfix to address the follo ...Show All

• lp75 Windows Media Player 10 Control Enhancements

  Hi, I am developing an application to subtitle videos using the WMP 9/10 object with success for the moment. I'd like to take more advantage of the control and allow the user to use the Enhancements such as Video Settings to control video brightness, contrast, etc. My question if it's possible to access and modify such settings, and if not, I wonder if there's some sort of plugin to allow this, otherwise I'd have to migrate to another player control, and I would not like this option because I'm already forcing users to get WMP9 or 10 to use the program which was released on december 2004.- Any help will be really appreciated, I already searched through the WMP control reference at the MSDN Library without sucess.
