• Visual Studio Express Editions Cursor locked into a text box

  I will post the whole code below. The form works fine the first time around but when adding a second database row (a second record) the cursor will not leave the date time text boxes (masked text boxes) once entered unless a valid date is entered. Public Class NewVehicle Dim Ready1 As Boolean = False Dim Ready2 As Boolean = False Dim Ready3 As Boolean = False Dim Ready4 As Boolean = False Private Sub NewVehicle_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase .Load Me .Vehicle_filtersetTableAdapter.Fill( Me .M1DataSet.vehicle_filterset) Me .Vehicle_typeTableAdapter.Fill( Me .M1DataSet.vehicle_type) End ...Show All

• Visual Basic Shared property works in VS2003, does not in VS2005

  I'm moving an asp.net program made in Visual Studio 2003 over to VS2005. I'm just creating the pages in VS2005 and copying & pasting code. I'm finding my Shared variables are not working in VS2005, as I get the error "Name 'Errors' is not declared". In the example below, I have the Class "Errors" (a web page, "Errors.aspx") which sets the property. Then I show the Sub addFootnoteToPDF() which is on another page (open.aspx); this makes a reference to the property in Errors.aspx. Can you see why this works in VS2003 and not in VS2005 Thank you!

  Hi, Here is my question, ant the context. MDX 2.0 is dead, MDX 1.1 is dying, XNA is growing . My chief ask me to evaluate Managed Technology and to port our old fashioned OpenGL Engine to .Net.

• Visual C# Parent class, not base

  Hello! How can I access parent class (owner of the current class) fields Example: class class1{ string myField; class2 myClass2 } class class2{ public class2(){ //need to access myField from class1 (like "parent.myField"). } } The only option is using Reflection Nothing more simple, direct Thanks. Hi, So if the field is Private, the only reflection is the way to go. But keep in mind that you can create a property for accessing that member. You do need to think about designing it right, meaning that you can choose to inherit from class1 and creating a Protected property to that private member. I hope this helps, guy kolb ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dynamic drawings in VB.Net

I would like to draw some item (line or any shape) above the contents of the PictureBox, and make it move or change, following for instance the mouse pointer, this without destroing the initial contents of the PictureBox. In VB6, it was only to draw the item in vbNotXorPen mode to make it visible above the existing drawings, and to redraw it at the same place with the sa ...Show All
