• .NET Development BitConverter.ToSingle with a two dimensional byte array

  i am having trouble converting 4bytes to a single in a two dimensional array. how do i specify the position i want in this array i tried treating it as a long one dimensional array.   Short of making it one, does anyone have any ideas Any help is greatly appreciated.   int traceLength = 9200; byte [,] cobbleData = new byte [traceLength,6]; . . y1[ i ] = BitConverter.ToSingle(cobbleData, traceLength + 4*i));   Not yet i tried a few more things. i might be able to expand on the actual goal i am trying to achieve. i receive around 100 arrays, each 19kb long.

• Visual Basic get the location of "start button"

  Hi Everyone, How could i get the position of the Start menu's button (i mean the Start button of Windows) in vb.net Thanks a lot; If this is your goal it is best achieved by setting Windows system and security policies and by not allowing ordinary users to have local admin rights. This is the approach you want to take for any limited or restricted usage system such as point-of-sale, information kiosk, or industrial control. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't dynamically load VC8 library?

  I would say I am beginning to hate manifests... unfortunately, I am already well past that point. I have an application that dynamically loads a dll (i.e. LoadLibrary() ). It worked when I built with VC6. Now that I am trying to build with VC8, I get the following error: Runtime Error! Program: <path-to-my-program.exe> R6034 And application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information. I used to get this error trying to run the application itself, but was able to resolve it. Is there something special that needs to be done to use LoadLibrary now that one has to deal with these awful manifest things First, an externa ...Show All

On page load i obtain the values i need using var v = map.GetMapView(); alert( "Vis cTOP LEFT" + v.TopLeftLatLong); alert( "Vis cBOTTOM RIGHT" + v.BottomRightLatLong); The values returned by BottomRightLatLong show as: 42.488966 -83.102903 I also have an event attached to a mouse click which uses the same exact code: var v = map.GetMapView(); alert( "Click cTOP LEFT" + v.TopLeftLatLong); alert( "Click cBOTTOM RIGHT" + v.BottomRightLatLong); The values returned by BottomRightLatLong for the click function show as: ...Show All

• Visual Basic trying to import userContro.vb into my main form

  Is there a way to do the following. I want to be able to click differant buttons such as button1 button2 button3 and on_click it will pull all the information from a usercontrol into the panel on the form. Simply put i want one form that has a section to show other forms inside itself. Thanks michael I think you're slightly confused about what a UserControl is used as, because UserControls are basically used to be a 'panel' within another form. An example: -- Create a new project (with a Form1) -- Add a FlowLayoutPanel to Form1's design and make it fill Form1 by setting its .Dock property to 'Fill'. A FlowLayoutPanel makes it a little easier to see how a UserControl can be used. -- Add a UserC ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TSD301: <<user>> is not a valid login or you do not have permission.

  Hi there, I am confused with dealing with logins and users in dbpro (ctp6). I plan to setup an sql login for our front end connection to our sql 2005 server, and map a user account with the same name in our database. I have created the login through Management studio, and am trying to add the user in dbpro. It scripts it like this: CREATE USER <<user_name>> WITHOUT LOGIN WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo; So I'm not sure why it creates it with the WITHOUT LOGIN clause I want it mapped to a login. When I try to delete that clause, it gives me a "Error 1 TSD301: <<login_name>> is not a valid login or you do not have permission." When I try to explicity add a LOGIN <<login_name>> to ...Show All
