• Visual Basic Sorting array names by value in array

  I am using Studio 2005 with visual basic 2005I I need to sort arrays in such away as the arrays themselves are sorted by a value contained in one element. I have several arrays myarray1(9) myarray2(9) myarray3(9) myarray4(9) myarray5(9) etc. I can sort the arrays on value in one element, but this just gives a list of those elements in the sort order.

• Visual Studio Team System Who is responsible for creating Operations Support Guide?

  Hi all, The Operations Support Guide is the deliverable of the Stabilizing Phase (in MSF). Can anyone tell me who is responsible for creating this document I cannot find any info on this.

• Internet Explorer Development How to start new instance of IE6 from .NET Web Application

  Hi, Here is my scenario: I have a management page which shows all the registered user names. I want to popup a new window when I click on the name of a user and automatically login that user in the new window. The problem is that everytime when a new users is logged in, the previous user's session variables will be replaced by the new user, since the "poped-up" IE6 will always have the same session ID with its parent browser. I think the only way to solve this problem is to start a new instance of IE6 (or iexplore.exe process) everytime when I click on a user's name, so they don't share the same session variables. It seems for security reason, starting a new (iexplore.exe) process on client side has been disabled. If any ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Still another report on this...

  Having an intermittent problem printing To: From: CC: Subject: Attachments: headers on emails. Usually happens with larger emails or emails with large attachments or emails that have been replied to or forwarded from other people. Have installed Generic/text printer and sent the email to this printer but sometimes the headers are still missing even printing this way. I have if I open the offending email and highlight just one or two words in the text of the email eg Dear John and then print the email using my HP printer (not as text on Generic printer) - the headers then print and so does the selected words. Don't suggest using Outlook as often we only print the first page of emails as we already have the rest of the email on file especial ...Show All

• Visual Basic textbox visible priority set to "false" will not keep value

  Hi, This should be simple to do but I just can't figure how to fix the problem. I have a form with one master table and 20 other tables showing related data. The data is linked by the key value in the master form. For example, I have a "Long_Desc" variable in the master table which holds the ky value for the descriptions I keep in the "descriptions" table. Maybe I am doing this wrong but I in my test, I was displaying the content of the key "Long_Desc" in a read-only TextBox just to make sure I was getting the right record from the "descriptions" table. I could also display the content of the "Long_Desc" TextBox using a messagebox. Now, I would like to hide the the "Long_Desc" field on the form. I set the "ReadOnly" priority to True and "T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Source Control menu items are not available in VS2005

  I have installed Visual SourceSafe 2005 on a Windows 2003 server, and have Visual Studio 2005 Professional installed on a variety of Windows XP Pro workstations. I want my team to use Visual SourceSafe via Visual Studio 2005 within our LAN. None of our VS2005 installations show Source Control menu items nor the plug-in under Tools > Options.
