• .NET Development How can I convert this c# code into a regular expression?

  I'm trying to create a "path validation method" to check if a string can be used as a valid path in my program. The path must contain an indication character at the beginning of it which can be either minus, tilde or a dot. In case of a minus character than it must be followed by a number. In case of tilde or a dot than it must be followed by any valid step format. A valid step format is either a s tring enclosed by a sharp brackets , a number or a combination of a string enclosed by a sharp brackets followed by a number without white spaces between the brackets and the number. After the initial step we can have a dot separator to indicate that we have additional steps that must follow the normal step format without the starting indicatio ...Show All

• Visual Basic Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation

  Hi, I am getting an error message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" when my application is loading a vb.net 2005 form. I am using vb.net 2005 with SP1, and framework version v2.0.50727 Any idea what could be causing this Thanks ok, the part of checking the InnerException property helped big time. The problem was resolved. I had added a project to my solution, and an assembly of the new project was being referenced. That assembly could not be found. So I created that. However, I would like to clarify something for my own information. Currently I have a solution file, that contains 5or 6 projects within the solution file. I add an existing project ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Elevating an IE7 toolbar to Integrity Level: Medium

  Hello, I have an IE7 toolbar that needs to write to an Access DB that resides in the Program Files directory. However, because IE7 runs in Protected Mode, the toolbar does not have access to write to the Program Files directory. So, I tried to move the Access DB to the ProgramData directory. Now, I don't get the Access Denied error, but the toolbar doesn't write to the DB that is in the ProgramData directory. Instead, it writes to some VirtualStore directory. Has anyone run into this Does anyone know how to elevate an IE7 toolbar so it runs with an integrity level of MEDIUM Thank you, I solved the problem. I created an external executable elevated to medium level and ported the code to this app ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using Progress bar and Status lebel with Web Browser control

Thanks! Landon Well, I can help you with the progress bar part. Place a progress bar named pbrPageLoad somewhere on your form. Now go into the browser progresschanged event and copy this code: double curprogress = (double)e.CurrentProgress; double maxprogress = (double)e.MaximumProgress; double progress = (curprogress / maxprogress)*100; pbrPageLoad.Value = (int)progress; then go ...Show All

• SQL Server WMI Event Watcher - Pointing directly to a machine name

  Hi, I am using a WMI Event Watcher task to watch for files dropped into a directory over a network drive. It seems to work fine when it is pointed to a physical drive name, but not when I use a machine name. I.e. This works - SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name=\"C:\\\\temp\\\\folder1\\\\folder2\\\folder3\"" This fails - SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name=\ \\\\\\\\machineName \\\\folder1\\\\folder2\\\\folder3\ " The failing code do ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005 Upgrade, or not?

  Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I couldn't find anything more fitting. I am considering getting the Visual Studio 2005 IDE, but I have a reservation. I currently have VS2003, and have heard that the .NET 1.1 framework is falling by the wayside, so to speak. I have used the trial version of VS2005, and like it very much. However, I have heard that VS 9.0 will come out soon, and I don't want to have to upgrade again in a year or two. So, I guess my question is, is VS2005 going to be viable long enough to make it worth the purchase Is Microsoft making the higher level languages like Visual Basic "disposable", in other words, changing every few years Please, don't take me as being an ...Show All
