• jdang Downloading the software

  I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I could not find an answer. My question is, is there a place I could order or get a Visual Studio Express Editions CD or DVD rather than downloading them from this site. I live in a rural area where I can't get an high speed internet connection and downloading on dial-up would take about 20 hours of tying up my phone line. Thanks for any help you could give. James.... You might want to look into getting a copy of the book Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 express edition: Build a Program Now . The book comes with a cd that has vb and sql express on it. Or I think the dummies guide .... also provides a free CD as well. Or you ca ...Show All

• jss3426 Container control?

  Hi. I'm trying to make a control that can contain other controls. I make a UserControl, but I can't get it to work. I can't drop another control on it. Sorry for the newbie question, but in VB6 I only had to set a property to make it a container control. I'm really a bit confused. Any help Thanks. ok, :) buy I was talking about design time... Just one more thing... this attribute is required for design-time support. Adding controls to other controls at runtime also works without it: UserControl11.Controls.Add(Button1) ' Set button's position etc...

• Musa_Tariq_Raza Express Edition Registration Problem

  I hope I got the right forum here, I apologize if I am wrong. My problem is not addressed in the FAQ, and I hope someone can help me on this 1. When I 1st downloaded all of the Express Editions, I did so via my sister's computer. Her PC has XP & mine, at the time, had Windows 98. I have now obtained a WinXP machine & did the SP2 thing. I burned all of my projects off of my sister's machine & removed all of the Express Edition's from her PC. I installed VB2005 on to my new PC & tried to register it. Rather than get a new registration code, as I expected, I only got a confirmation email & Microsoft's "Thank You". I need a new code :) Now, I don't know if this makes any difference, but the VB2005 that ...Show All

• pershing How to display closed captions in Windows Application

  I am trying to create an application inVisual C# Express in which an mp3 file is played along with captions (text). I understand how to get the Windows Media Player (WMP) to run on my form and think I understand how to make a caption file (SAMI) and tell WMP where to find it. What I don't understand is how to get the captions to display (say in a textbox) on my form. There is a parameter Player.closedCaption.captioningId which is supposed to be able to read a string containing the name of the element that displays the object. I've tried my textbox name as "tbx.CC" and "tbx.CC.Text" with no result. I.e. no error, but no text displayed either. The examples in the MSDN documentation seem to be for web pages in which the ID ...Show All

• AAKurtz Team Server security and VPN

  I'm the administrator on our TFS system. I have a user who is connecting to our network through VPN. I want them to be able to check in and check out files, basically he is a member of the Contributors group for the project. He can see the project and the solutions in the project, but he can't check anything out. He can't even right click on the project and get a popup menu.

• Teymur Hajiyev How do I hide a form?

  I am looking to create a simple program that pops up a balloon on startup. What I want to do is hide the form1 that is created. How do I do it I can use the notifyicon for displaying the balloon no problem. Ahh That would work... Although I used sendkeys to minimize it. ;) Did you try setting the opacity Hello Martin, I haven't tried this myself but maybe Me.Hide() hope it works tattoo The form is still open on the desktop. It needs to be hidden from view. Not too bothered about it being in the taskbar though. You may have to take a few extra steps, since just 'hiding' the form may cause it to flicker: Set the opacity to zero, so it's completely transparent (and pe ...Show All

• xlordt Multiple TFS Projects

  I am planning out our TFS strategy. I have read MS recommendations that say not to create a lot of Team Projects, but this concept mankes many of the reports useless: If I have 10 web services in a single TFS Project, and each has its own solution file. If I build one of them, the build report contains all the check-ins since the last build, even though many of them had nothing to do with the single web service I am building. My work item reports give me all work items for all the web services, not just the one I am working on. ... Wy the "minimize Team Projects" recommendation Subprojects are a common request. I don't think we'll support subprojects exactly, but we do have dras ...Show All

• Hassank Component Question

  Hi again, I've been trying to build a component as Express doesnt come with a component template, does anyone know what code I need to insert in order for it to work correctly I am sure its not as simple as merely putting 'Inherits Component' under the class declaration, I'm pretty sure you have to some stuff with the 'New' and there's also a 'Site' property that needs sorting out. Like I said, I'm new to this, but if anyone could post the generated code for a new component, that would be great. Thanks again. While we are on the subject, I have other queries... Firstly, how do I obtain the name of my component, for example, if I drop an instance of the component onto a form (well, under the form, actually), ...Show All

• Jarda Jirava I so thought I had this but I don't - I am not creating multiple objects I don't think...

  I thought I had two objects and that I was taking cups away from each of these two unique vendingmachine objects, called decaff and caffeinated. But after testing how many cups are left, I find that I am always having the same number of cups left in either object. Or whats happening is I have one object or maybe I am only accessing one of the two. I am not sure. I really need someone to explain to me what is going wrong with this. I am trying to create two vendingmachine objects. Choose which one I want to buy from, then actually remove cups from that one as a cup of coffee is bought. I am failing to somehow keep them seperate, create them properly or access them properly. Any help would be so appreciated. Edited: Realized a fe ...Show All

  Hi, I have migrated VS2003 project from VSS to TFS. I have installed MSSCCI Provider for connection with TFS from IDE VS2003. In IDE VS2003, I have connected to TFS. When I checked out some file under Source Control, then I changed it and Checked in, this file, project and solution kept in check out state. And I might to do undo check out. Sometime, this action made the problem, by rolling back the actions, which I did. I have also noticed that, TFS made double folder structure to local folders (It was copying parent folder to new folder which had the same name as parent folder), because TFS added new mappings to current workspace. It's expected behavior And what can I do instead of undo check out Thanks Janko Now ...Show All
