• .NET Development returning fields from SWbemObject

  Hi there, I am using WMI to send a WQL query to an SMS server and retrieve information on systems on our LAN. I am working on a .net application to display the results of these reports. I am able to return an SWbemObject with the results of the query. In order to access items in the object I use code like this: Dim objResultSet as SwbemObjectSet Dim objResultRow as SWbemObject < CODE THAT CONNECTS TO SERVER AND EXECUTES QUERY > For Each objResultRow In objResultSet objResultRow.SMS_G_SYSTEM_CDROM.DESCRIPTION Next The problem with this is that I want to be able to return the field value, without hardcoding the field name. something like dim fieldName as String fieldName = "SMS_G_SYSTEM_CDROM.DE ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development ActiveX Modal Dialogs do not work in IE7

  Our product is suffering some pretty severe problems because of IE7. We've starting getting calls that dialog windows become hidden. We've heard this is a threading issue. We found out that the problem is actually much worse. Modal dialogs don't seem to function correctly in IE7. You can recreate the problem using VB6 by doing this: 1. Create an ActiveX UserControl project. 2. Add a form to the project (form1) 2. Put a button on the user control (usercontrol1). 3. Add this code to usercontrol1. Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim objForm As Form1 Set objForm = New Form1 Call objForm.Show(vbModal) End Sub 4. Build the project as an OCX somewhere on your hard drive. 5. Find your control's CLSID in regedit. I ...Show All

• .NET Development class Thread Safety

  Hi all, I saw has the class in MSDN to be thread safety---" Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe. ".For instance said the FileStream class is this. If I operate a file in the Server end with the FileStream class, whether only needs it to put in static method may guarantee under the multiuser scene does not make a mistake thanks.

• Visual Studio Adding an intellisense/snippet popup control to the code window

  I have a managed package that I'm working on that will display and manage your clipboard history. I'm trying to add a feature where when the user presses a keyboard shortcut, a popup list control (just like intellisense/code snippets look like) populated with list items representing their last 5 clipboard entries. I've not been able to locate an example or sample code demonstrating how to create that type of window border or how to implement this control/window into the code window, such that when you scroll or resize the IDE, the popup window coordinates stay relative to the code window. Is this even possible If so, can you point me in the direction of an example Cheers, Bobby Perikles, This was exactly what I needed. You did a gr ...Show All
