• Visual Basic Clickevents for a dynamically built menu

  Hi, I'm making a custom browser with the webbrowser form and I've gotten stuck building the favorites menu. The way I have the code set up is that it reads all the favorites files and subdirectories in the user's default Favorites directory (Documents and Settings/$user/Favorites) and builds a dropmenu to the 'Favorites' menu button by adding the files one at a time as menu buttons. Subdirectories are also added, with dropdown lists of the files they contain. It's very similar functionally to the Internet Explorer favorites menu. Anyway, I have implemented clickevents for favorites menu using the DropDownItemClicked event, but this only goes down one level. I can't figure out any way to add event handlers to the buttons that dropdown from ...Show All

• Visual Basic R

  I'm sure this is possible to do. I am working with a UTF8 encoded file. When the file is opened in VB and loaded into a text box, the line breaks are converted to squares. Each line break is represented by two sqaures. I have been using code to replace bad chars, but the problem with it is that it replaces a single instance of the square with a LB. So I am getting too many LB's. How can I replace this with a single line break TIA Thanks for the tip! I tried the following and the code itself works, but still produces the chars. Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim reader As IO.StreamReader = _ New ...Show All

• .NET Development Configuration Manager

  Hello All. Alright, let me start with just a little background.  I'm working on a Windows Forms client application, and in order to make it a single-instance application, I've got a named Mutex, which I naturally want to encrypt to prevent a DoS attack from any assorted twerps. Now, for whatever reason, the folks at MS don't seem to see the need for a tool like aspnet_regiis.exe for client apps, so already this has gone from trivial to tedious.  So, I worked up a little code to encrypt the config section in question, and I kept getting null reference exceptions.  Well, I backed up a bit and the problem seems to be referencing the "appname.exe.config" file.  Here's my code: using System; using System.Collec ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Emailing newly converted reports.

  Hi; I have converted some older Foxpro reports to VFP9. Everything looks great, but: Before the conversion I could very easily save the report to file and then email it. After the conversion, obviously, I can't do that anymore. I have tried the ASCII option but it is not very good with spacing and columns don't line up etc. What is the best way to solve this issue Do I need to create a pdf/rtf/tif etc or is there a built in VFP feature that can help me Thank you all. Wow!!! What I wanted and much more. Thx. I didn't venture into report listeners yet, but I guess that gives me native graphic functionality for report output files. Thank you so much!!!

• SQL Server SSIS, BIDS and Temporary files

  Why are some SSIS files, generated by the Import/Export Data wizard put into the local users temp folder Why are these not compiled with the package when the solution is built Is there some setting I am missing This architecture is kind of silly, as the server always needs access to the temp folder on the local machine to run. How can I get these temp files packaged with the rest of the package and deployed to the server so the server can run independent of the machine I develop the package on Thanks, Jeff I think that's because files generated by the Import/Export Data wizard are supposed to be temporary and isn't really considered part of the package. What data does your temp files con ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. this.IsMouseVisible = true;

  Is there anyway to change what *.cur is used I didn't see anything but I may be over looking it. I also tried making a GameComponent, using a sprite as the mouse cursor and this allows me to change the texture when needed. I ran into a problem with this also. When the mouse leaves the GameWindow the Texture stays there and it appears to have two cursors on the screen. You could set rules that if mouse > screenWidth don't draw but if you move the mouse with anytype of speed it never updates. To work around that I set: Mouse .IsCaptured = true ; Which works great. Till the GameWindow loses Focus. Once the Focus is lost the cursor does not act the same. IE: Prior to losing focus, cursor will go UNDER the top blue windowbar (where ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help compiling sample adsi code from MSPress
