• Visual Basic Working with Hex Value

  Hi 2 all, I have a String that contains Hex Value Dim hexvalues As String = "AABBCC" I need to make this addition: AA + BB + CC = 231 (dec: 561) In a bit word i need a function that it calc Hex Values. How can i do ! "I have a String that contains Hex Value" Strings do not contain hex values. Strings contain characters. The Characters may represent binary numbers described in a hex radix (base 16). I think these distinctions are important to remember. Convert the strings to binary and do with them as you may and then convert them to the radix in which you want them displayed. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Form behavour different if launched from menu or click event?

  I am having a strange problem where the behaviour of a form differs if a form is launched from a menu or from say the click event of a button. The form is top-level with a default data session. I have a few variables that are assigned as control sources to some textbox controls. I am using the destroy event to perform some updates using theses variables. This allows the update to happen regardless if the user clicks the exit button on the form or the title bar. The problem is that the form behaviour seems to vary depending on how the form is initially launched. From a menu the above works fine but from a the click event of a button the variables are not available in the destroy event Does anyone know why the behaviour is not consi ...Show All

• .NET Development do we need to call myObject=null when we finish using it or no need

  Hi, is it better to call helperD= null ; whenevr i finish using an instatiated object or no need Thanks Hi R.Tutus I have a blog entry that describes when to set variables to null: http://blogs.msdn.com/clyon/archive/2004/12/01/273144.aspx Mattias is correct; in general the JIT and GC are smart enough to know when the last time an object is referenced and make it eligible for collection without the need for setting the reference to null. -Chris ...Show All

  I am trying to run our client application in and I started receiving the following side by side errors. I cannot pin down what dll is causing this problem and it is driving me nuts! Anyone help Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Development\Debug\bin\App.exe.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Switch from Live ID to .NET Passport

  Is it possible to switch it from Live ID back to .NET passport I was in the Windows Live Account Service page, I try to change my email to another one, but I only given one choice, which is to create a new Hotmail account. I remember last time, when I login to .NET Passport credential page, it do let me change the email to whatever email I want (not limited to Hotmail). Is this possible Peter Chan They are killing themselves with this in classic Microsoft style. Forcing their existing client base to adopt hotmail.com or live.com email addresses will only send us away to google and yahoo. At the very least they should have an account migration tool to bring your contacts and settings over from an exi ...Show All
