• Visual Basic how do I ensure the entire box is highlighted

  I hope someone can help me. It's probably something simple but I'm completely new in this. In my access 2000 I have several boxes (cells) of which one is the most recent and hence needs to be highlighted. I've managed to het it highlighted but with new entries into this database the boxes (cells) get smaller or bigger -depending on the text inside them. This most recent cell got bigger but the highlighting stayed the same size as it was previously. What can I do to ensure the highlighting of the cell changes with its size changing. Please help. ...Show All

• SQL Server Casting...

  I've got an ftp task that will be downloading a couple of files each night. today they're called blah20060830blah the date value in the middle changes each day. I'm trying to adjust this value with an expression. The expression doesn't want to cast my getdate function into a string that this property will accept. I know i'm missing something stupid. Thank you Oh OK. Sorry, I thought you were in a Derived Column Component (which you are not). Your approach is the corect one. its jsut going to take some debugging that's all.

• Visual Studio Express Editions rounding

  I am using this code, Randomize() lblDsuit1.Text = CStr ((10 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1) The numbers it generates are all decimal numbers, how can I make it round each number off A better way -- This will result in a whole number within the range. The second argument after Next is the upper value of the range plus 1. Next(1, 11) will generate a whole number between 1 and 10. Dim randnum As Random = New Random() num = randnum.Next(1, 11) snum = Convert.ToString(num) By the way, to round a decimal number into the nearest integer, always rounding up if it ends with .5, use the Math.Floor method: inum = Math.Floor(dnum + 0.5) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) adding dlinq to existing project

• Visual C++ C++/CLI problems/issues

  I have some questions on C++/CLI issue. Let me explain my situation: I have an existing native COM dll that contains my logic. It has been tested and works fine with native C++ client using CoCreateInstance. I would like to add a new logic and notice that BCL has a class that I can use. So I add a new source file and header which I compile with /clr since I need to use one of BCL classes (actually, at this point, it is just an empty shell). When I tried to CoCreateInstance in my native client, it couldn’t create. But if I go back to my COM dll project and take out the /clr in my new source file, it works fine. After some debugging, I found out the problem and have been able to fix the issue. However, I would like to get more detai ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Stop mouse wheel zooming

  I am trying to stop the default behavior of mouse wheel zooming while the cursor is on the map. I don't want the users to do this in my application. I know that there is no option for this yet. In Firefox I succeeded by doing the following: $('mapHolder').observe('DOMMouseScroll', function(e){Event.stop(e);}, true); - mapHolder is the div that holds the map - I am using the Prototype Event model and also using event capturing by setting the last parameter to true The problem is IE where there is no event capturing and stopping the event on the mapHolder does not work. $('mapHolder').observe('mousewheel', function(e){Event.stop(e);}, true); The event bubbles up and executes before my code. I also tried to find out which is the element that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Questions about Sandcastle

  I have some questions and observations regarding the July CTP of Sandcastle when using it to generate documentation. The generated CHM file doesn't seem to have an index. There's no Index tab displayed in the viewer. The generated CHM file doesn't seem to have search capability. There's no Search tab displayed in the viewer. When the CHM file is double-clicked to open it for viewing, the right-hand pane of the viewer shows a mostly-blank page with a small warning icon in the upper left-hand corner. This mostly-blank page goes away when any of the entries in the table-of-contents in the left pane are clicked. In the CHM file, the documentation entries for class constructors always seem to have ".ctor" prepended to them. The table ...Show All

• Visual C# Pass parameter between two .cs in the same Windows app

  Hi, I created a Windows app with one form (Form1), and a new class (A.cs). I want to pass a parameter (by value or reference - it doesn't matter) from Form1.cs to the of the other class to do some computations then return the result to Form1.cs. However, A.cs won't let me receive the value from Form1.cs. That is, when I type the code in A.cs: namespace StatCalc { class ArithmeticMean { public AMean(iValue) I get an error on the line with "public AMean" "Class, struct, or interface method must have a return type" "identifier expected" "; expected" So does anyone know a solution to this Thank-you It appears that ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Transitioning from BizTalkServer 2004

  Hello, I have a workflow orchestration in BizTalk 2004 which I would like to transition to WWF. Does anyone know of any resources which relate to such a move It seems that many of the concepts are similar, just work differently. Thanks for any assistance, Matt Bell Hi, I am no expert on BizTalk but the two are very different. For one BizTalk is a complete server product with a whole infrastructure around it. WF on the other hand is a library with just the workflow bits that you need to host yourself and provide the infrastructure for. From my understanding the next version of BizTalk will use WF inside of it. So it sounds to me, that depending on how much of BizTalk you are using, the move co ...Show All
