• Visual Studio Express Editions How to name buttons with database field values

  To begin, I know very little about VB express. I started out using VB for apps in excel. I could record macros and copy or edit, but I'm having a little trouble writing code from scratch in VB express. Anyway, here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have about 40 buttons on a user form. I would like for each button's text to be the value of a separate field in a data table (using SQL Server Express) and update when the data table is changed. I have selected all buttons at once and through the data binding option in their properties tied the "text" property to a specific column in my data table. The problem is that when I do this, every button's text contains the first field value in this column. Since the only option when sel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Image Format Proliferation,Coupla Questions

  I can't seem to find a way to produce an exe or a setup program for critters I create in anyof the languages, or a compiler and linker. Is this intentionally left out to keep you from writing the software in a saleable form so you can use the proceeds to subscribe to MSDN, or am I missing  some seizmic change in how C++ will work from here on out Can the Intel Compiler amd Optiimizer be plugged in on Express C++ Can I use the code generated by Express in my old MS C++ compiler And finally my favorite questions of all. 1-why does MS write file formats it does not recognize, send you to the FileExt Page which tells you which program in MS it is associated with, thus inducing dog chasing tail syndrome OK, maybe the normal us ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Image not being displayed ("Not found") >> Same thing works in firefox (BUG!?)

  I've written a html page which contains the following tag: <img src="icons/addmate.jpg" /> The html file resides in "C:\Documents and Settings\matt\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DaNetCli_Proto\Mods\default\tools.html" and the jpg file resides in: "C:\Documents and Settings\matt\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DaNetCli_Proto\Mods\default\icons\addmate.jpg" Now the strange bit: this html file works in Firefox, but not in IE. Anyone come across the same problem or know a workaround. I'd really like to avoid using an absolute path. AH! Found the problem!

• Visual Basic Managing Font Information

  Dealing with the font information for a control seems complicated and perhaps someone can explain a simple method to record font information. Net offers several dialog controls such as fontdialog andcolordialog. In using the fontdialog. My code looks something like this: Dim fd As New FontDialog Dim dr As DialogResult = fd.ShowDialog( Me ) TreeView1.Font = fd.Font Dim StringView as string=fd.Font.tostring The font information captured in the string variable looks like: [Font: Name=Times New Roman,Size=9.75,Units=3,GdCharSet=0,GdVerticalFont=False] I am interested in being able to store in my application font information for a treeview and tabcontrol that I can recall upon application startup.
