• Windows Live Developer Forums Problems with themes graphics?

  The switchover to Live Spaces changed my theme. I was left with one little spot of my theme background on my space about the size of two postage stamps side by side. I used the Tweak toy to repeat it around. But, because of the shape of the theme graphic I have it does not match up worth beans. Surprisingly, when I use Tweak, the initial graphic gets bigger. This is one of the standard themes that comes with spaces. It was not custom or anything. I did not do anything to it until I tried to fix it with Tweak. My space is pretty crowded because I have a lot of lists, but at the bottom where it is blank, it looks like a badly done half-painted and half-wallpapered, wall. Also, it changed the colors in my space. I used tw ...Show All

• .NET Development Retrieve Image Data from a Website???

  Hi: As you know, most Websites have images on them. A Web browser retrieves an image 'file' from a URL specified in the src attribute of an img tag in the HTML and displays the image in the browser. What I want to do from within C# .NET is to retrieve/capture the binary data that makes up the image to an image or binary field (not sure which) in Sql Server so that I can display it as an image in an application, read from the Sql Server field, later. My intention is to log onto a Web page from within a C# application, read the HTML and then retrieve certain images as marked up in the HTML. Can I do that If so, how You can always take the link to the image Url and download it using HttpWebRequest. Parse the html res ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Using AxSpreadsheet

  I have managed to add MS Office Spreadsheet 9.0 to the toolbox and added the spreadsheet to a form but I don't know how to dimension (Dim statement in VB) the various components required to program the contents and formats of the cells and ranges etc within the spreadsheet. Hi Matt, It sounds like you're using a separate control, not VSTO, to do .NET code behind Excel. If this is correct, for Excel Object Model questions, you will have better luck posting your question to the Excel programming group, here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.excel.programming&lang=en&cr=US Best Regards, Rufus ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using a progressbar with a download, can't find specific code

  I've found plenty of examples that don't use webclient. but I need to use webclient because of the ability to set the referer on it, which is imperative for the file the app is to download. Anyone know a link to some code, or have some code themselves Revenicus, There are two examples for you: 1. Use a WebClient object to download the data at a URI in VB .NET When you enter as URI and click the Upload button, the program creates a WebClient object. It uses the object's OpenRead method to open the URI for reading, attaches a StreamReader to the stream, uses its ReadToEnd method to read the data, and displays the result. http://vb-helper.com/howto_net_webclient_download.html 2.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Post-Processing glow shader

  I'm trying to get the Glow shader technique discussed in a Gamasutra article (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20040526/james_pfv.htm) implemented in my XNA project but am struggling with certain aspects of it. The blur of the scene takes place in two separate passes, one for each axis. So when you do the horizontal blur pass, you pass it your scene which you've rendered to a RenderTarget2D. Then for the vertical blur pass which follows, you have to pass it the resulting texture from the previous pass. This is where I don't really understand anymore... what is the proper way to set this up so that you can extract the results of the first pass and give it to the second pass when you already have an Effect activated ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Problem with Browser activex control

  I have a vfp form with a browser activex control (which I've named ole1). I use the browser to display an html page which uses javascript to create a text editor object like this: var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'FCKeditor1' ) And then (again in javascript) I can set up the text to be edited like this: oFCKeditor.Value = "Some html <b>text</b> here" Is there a way of accessing the oFCKeditor object from foxpro after the page has been displayed I've tried something like Thisform.ole1.document.oFCKeditor.value but that doesn't work. Malcolm You can take a reference to the HTML form: oFrm = This.Object.Document.myForm Then refer to the form's objects: If o ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextBox and ContextMenuStrip

  On a form with a few TextBoxes and one ContextMenuStrip, if a TextBox is right-clicked I can get the particular TextBox instance that opened the ContextMenuStrip from the SourceControl property in the Opening event. But if the menu items have shortcut keys, the Opening event isn't raised. So how do I figure out which TextBox had the focus when the shortcut key was pressed Tony Use the form's ActiveControl property, it will point to the control that has the focus and invoked the context menu. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Communication Client Server via http

  HI , What is the best way to communication between Client and Server. The Sever will be a Web Server. Client will be a windows application, windows service or Web Services. Client cannot be a Explorer. Basically client need to access its own machine and machine on local network. And send the info to Server. Ofcourse, if you are posting on this forum, the answer is WCF! Seriously, what you're asking is a 101 scenario for WCF - client and server talking to each other where the server is hosted on IIS; and the client could be a self hosted console application. I would suggest you download the SDK if you havent and just go through some quickstart samples; if you get stuck, you c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Host ComboBox control in TextBoxColumn in DataGridView

  Hi, I've been searching on the net for a solution on how to host a ComboBox control in a TextBox column of a DataGridView. I've seen the example of creating a custom control (Calendar) column, but that's a column. I need to change the CellType. One solution was to add a physical ComboBox to the DataGridView and then to place it aboce the TextBoxCell. But I'm not too sure about this. Maby there's a cleaner solution to this. Any ideas Thanks, Much appreciated Nathanael Hello again, I tried your solution and it works. But there's one problem though. When I click on the "TextBox" cell to change it's value I get a Combobox.

• Visual C++ Urgent help required: Error 14001
