• mgee16 No Enough Storage Space is available

  Almost every one hour, when I run the project , I get this error and i have close and open again. Any idea Regards Mani There is plenty of space available in hard disk about 15 GB. This is like "typing is very slow" problem( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=144370&SiteID=1 ). I am unable find the exacts steps to reproduce the error. I can say if do lot of things in the designer, i.e ( moving/editing deleteing pasting the controls in the forms) this problem is likely to occur. I get the same problem in VS2003 since I've added two projects from another developer. It is reproduceable, wrecked several of my virtual machines.

• AxeldraX Multithreading in classes

  Hi, I'm writing a class that sends data via a TcpClient, and also listens for responses from the server using the same TcpClient. I'm using methods to send the data, and fire events when data comes in from the server. It's these events that's giving me problems. I used System.Timers.Timer to check if there's any data available from the server and if there is, I parse these and fire the relevant event. I've created several classes that inherits from the EventArgs class to hold the information. The correct args are passed into the event. Something like: Public Event OnConnect( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As ConnectEventArgs) Now, the way I understand it is that the timer runs in it's own thread. This causes the custom eve ...Show All

• Sara_23 Date.Parse Can't Read "P" or "A" for "AM" or "PM"?

  I'm a bit baffled at something. The following code passes: Date.Parse("10 PM") But the following throws an exception: Date.Parse("10 P") I find this to be weird because in the ToString, the format string allows: Dim d as Date = #10:00:00 PM# Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("hh t")) That will output "10 P" It seems like a shortcoming that it can't process something that it can output so simply. Unless I'm missing something Why do they even include a single letter format if they don't recognize it as part of a valid time Unforunately, that doesn't work... Dim d as DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("10 p", "hh t", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture) ...throws the exception I was getting before: An err ...Show All

• dark_sleauth String Functions

  I am experiencing something very strange in a VB.NET project I am working on. The string functions Left(),Instr(), Right(), etc. do not work, and others, like Replace, do not work correctly. Is this a case of class pollution If so, how to deal with it Could you please elaborate What do you mean that they don't work Do you get compiler errors Or is the result not what you expected http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/microsoft.visualbasic.strings_methods.aspx lists the string methods. Please note that they live in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace.

• CIAndrew vb6 to vb.net

  hi everybody, Is there any easiest way to do conversion If any of you have good experience in Converting the applications from vb6 to vb.net, Please give me your suggestions. Regards A.K The right strategy depends a lot on your particular situation and what your goals are. In general, I've found the best approach is to do a ground up re-design using the existing app as a guide but not a direct line-for-line, form-for-form source copy. Most corporate VB6 apps you'll see today have a long history and have started to look like the famous "Winchester House" where a widow kept adding on and adding on to a small mansion until it was huge and had a bizzare and impractical architect ...Show All

• Phantisy When will Classic ASP be desupported?

  When will classic ASP be desupported It looks like VS.NET 2005 doesn't work well with ASP, so will ASP be desupported when VS.NET 2003 is desupported Will this happen when the next version of VS.NET is released I also believed the hype for a long time. ASP.NET after all is large and very powerful. What I have found however is that power is not always better. It's kind of like saying an ocean liner is better than a ski boat. Of course it is when you are going on a cruise around the world but not for water skiing. I have given .NET a fair go and it has its uses but in my opinion it simply is not a good substitute for classic ASP when it comes to web development. It's kind of like skiing with an ocean liner.
