• MKan reading text from a document and displaying it

  I have TextBox1 (to enter what you want to search), TextBox2 (to display the results), and Button1 (when you press it, it does the whole process thing). I was given this to go by: ================================================================== Theres a couple of steps in a possible approach here. One is to be able to read the contents of a file. If your using VB Express / 2005 this is possible using dim sContents as string = My.Computer.Filesystem.ReadAllText("c:\foo.txt") the next is to be able to find a match on your textbox entry you can use the instr method in VB which would be something like dim x as integer = instr(sContents, Textbox1.text) No ...Show All

• Steev Combo box (again)

  Hi guys I am having a few problems with combo boxes, i have inherited a combo box to add some more features, i also provide a data view as the datasource, this side is working well.

If i use tab then my selection is displayed. is this correct or am i doing something wrong here i have experimented with different autocomplete modes.

• BlackCatBone Isolated Storage settings lost when re-publishing

  I'm using VS2005 and clickonce technology. When I publish a new version of my program to my clients their isolated storage settings do not upgrade to the new version I've published. When using app config or user config settings on the 2.0 framework, you can use the Settings.upgrade code to pull the settings up to the new version published. Is there similar code to pull my isolated storage settings up to my new published version kreativekai, When you publish a new version of your program to clients, the clickonce technology with XCopy cannot cover the old version because of the different version number control. The .NET Framework enables side-by-side installation and execution of different versions of the same application. ...Show All

• Iota Studios How to sort a TreeView numerically

  I have a treeview with each of it's nodes starting with a 6 digit hex number. I want to be able to sort the trees nodes so that the lowest numbered node is at the top and the highest is at the bottom. I do not want the nodes children to be rearranged though. I notice the tree has not a sort method (that I could find). Thank you for any help, Troy I just ran into a worse version of this problem that I hacked through this way: /// <summary> /// Used to prevent sorting of certain nodes in the TreeView. By /// default, will peg the node to position 0; /// </summary> public class FixedPositionTreeNode : TreeNode { public FixedPositionTreeNode() : base () {} public FixedPositionTreeNode( string ...Show All

• Bandile Add items to listbox

  Hello, I'm trying to make a project where when the user clicks btnCalculate an input box shows asking to input SPEED in miles per hour, followed by another inputbox asking for the amount of TIME in hours. It should then use a loop to display in a listbox on the form the distance the vehicle traveled for each hour of that time period. This is what I have thus far but I am stuck once again! This is an example of the output in the listbox: Vehicle Speed : 60 MPH Time Traveled : 7 Hours Hour        Distance traveled 1             60 2             120 3     &nbs ...Show All

• Ted Carron Reusing Forms

  Greetings I am converting a VB6 program containing multiple forms into a 2005.net VB program. In the old VB6 program I use a modal form and then I want to re-use the same form but but change some of the labels and make visible a control that was invisible the first time around. In the VB 6 version I was in, say, Form1 and executed the following code: Unload Form1 Form1.Show 1 This re-did the Load event and I used a counter to customize the form in its second life. Is there any way to do this simply in VS2005 VB Thanks again for the clarification.  I wonder if I could trouble you with the current state of my problem.  I have made some progress but... As suggested I created an i ...Show All

• mahima Sample CreateWindowEx API

  Hi Everyone again, finally, i got how to replace the start button of xp. u need to call 2 api's: findwindowex and createwindowex. and i got a question on the 2nd one: visual basic code: Attila Forgel, I think the sample code is just an example on CreateWindowEx API.

• MrSock Impersonation and Win 2003?

  I have a class library created with VS 2005 on Framework 2.0 that I use for our Windows desktop apps to validate a user against Active Directory. The Impersonate function uses a valid generic AD user to log in. I'll copy in the basic code in question below. It seems to work fine on the XP machines that I have tested it on. However one major use for it will involve installing it along with an app on a server so that users at distant locations can use remote desktop or something like Dameware remote control to run it on the server. The server OS is Win 2003. The LogIn function fails when I run it on the server. The machines are all in the same domain. Is this a security thing with 2003 or something else Thanks. <Assembly: SecurityPerm ...Show All

• Dr. Pastor. Performance- Code Snippet

  Hello, Any suggestions for improvement in this code snippet, performance wise [expecially since we have Generics in .net 2.0] Dim arr() As String = Split(PageRange, "-") Dim StartPage As Integer = CInt(arr(0)) Dim EndPage As Integer = CInt(arr(1)) Thanks for the responses. Split function by default returns a 1-dimensional string array. This forces me to declare my array variable as "string" although i know that my array only has integers. I think there is a performance penalty in doing the boxing from "string" to "int" on each array element.May be I can have a "(Type T() of Integer) and use a function that splits a string into a 1-dimensioanl array of integers ...Show All
