• Visual Basic Problems using a VB6 usercontrol in .NET 2005 - can't find interface, and unable to create from progid

  I'm having some problems in trying to upgrade a VB6 application to VB .net 2005 - I hope someone can give me an idea where to look: The basic upgrade process worked fine, but I'm having trouble with some VB6 / .NET interoperability. The part of this application I'm having trouble with has to create ActiveX controls from their VB6 progids. The old VB6 code used to create these activeX controls dynamically from progids using "controls.add". In .NET, I have tried converting the "controls.add" code to the following, where progid refers to a vb6 user control. (Note that there are a load of these controls which all work perfectly well and I really dont want to have to upgrade them to .net!) When I run the code ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Kiosk mode

• Visual C# simulating keystrokes

  After piecing together some code I gathered from several forum posts, etc I have the code below. What I was hoping it would do is when the form loads it would fill the textbox with the letter A simulating that the A key had been pressed. It doesn't cause any errors but nothing seems to happen. My ulimate goal is to be able to simulate key presses on other applications to help automate processes (like product imports into our company CRM).

• SQL Server Users cannot view reports that I (=creator) can

  Hello colleagues, I am trying to create some reports in VS.NET for our Microsoft CRM3.0.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Analysis Services filter width

  I have built a dashboard page with Analysis Services filters on top of it. The filters all have a default value (mdx entered). But I have problems with the width of the entry field of the filters. It is possible to control this width by entering a value in the advanced filter options. However, this value is not being used when first opening the dashboard! It seems as if the length of the mdx specifying the default value controls the width! After pressing the "Apply Filters button, the width is set correctly. This looks like a bug to me...Is there any workaround Setting the webpart width to a fixed value does not seem to be an option since scroll bars are added then.

• Visual C# Multiple inheritance scenario

  Hello, I know that there is no multiple inheritance of classes in C#. My problem is, I have a scenario that I don't know how to solve without it. Are there even scenarios that cannot be solved without multiple inheritance or is it just a flaw in my design Alright, this is what it's like. Let's say I have a class Object which represents a named item. class Object { public string Name; } It's extended by the Person class which adds the age property to it. class Person : Object { public int Age; } Next class ( IDObject ) extends Object , so that it can be associated with an integer. class IDObject : Object { public int ID; } Now what do I do if I want a person that has an ID Normally, I'd sug ...Show All

• Visual Studio Where to put RDLC file?

  I'm using LocalReports and mapping off of objects. My RDLC files usually stay in a particular project, which is always a DLL. One EXE will usually compose of several reports and DLLs. I have the ReportPath hard coded in my CS files. This is a problem for the deployment. I need a way to have one report path for dev machines and another for user machines. For users, I can put all of the RDLC files into a Report folder and use a config file set user/dev paths. It would have been nice to just embed the report into the DLL and reference the report's namespace.object in the EXE project that uses the DLL. However, once the report is embedded in the DLL, all of the Resources namespace is private. Then it gives the report back as a byte[]. I'm n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VPN based developers and multi-domain

  After reading many posts in the TFS forums, I'm pretty sure the product is unuseable in our development environment but I would still like some sort of confirmation from people with more experience with TFS. We have many remote developers who access domain A over a VPN connection. TFS is installed in domain B and there is no trust between the two domains. I cannot duplicate the domain A developers accounts into the domain B since the password complexity policies differs and are incompatible. So far I have not been able to get Team Explorer from domain A to make any sort of connection to TFS in domain B. I always get a TFS31002: Unable to connect to this team Foundation Server -The TFS name, port number or protocol is incorrect ...Show All

• Visual C++ Trying to use function pointers in a class

  Hi all, i'm having a bit of a problem understanding Function pointers, but i think i might be able to put them to a good use here. I have a class ( CCanCCM3 ) that stores data internally. It gets that data from other classes ( CCanRcvMessage ) that get their unpackmessage called by an external manager, upon data ariving on the bus it is listening to. What happens now, is that for each message that can come in, they inherited it and only changed the message for which to listen on the bus, and the function that should get called when that message is received on the bus. I would like to create a derived class that gets that message ID passed to it in the constructor, and also a function pointer to the function it needs to call. Could ...Show All
