• Gadgets Rendering problems of the gadgets (mainly the height)

  About the ccs problems, the problems rendering the height of the gadgets in Live Spaces. Maybe is not just that the problem... I have noticed that if I right click the gadget and I refresh the start.com service which starts the gadget, the gadget is rendered always in the right way. This happens with any gadget... So probably it is a problem of the page loading event or of the start.com service processing all the requests. ciao Looking to http://2gadgets.spaces.live.com all the gadgets are redered well now, the problem seems solved. --- ...Show All

• Windows Forms UserControl resizing in a container

  Hello, I have a user control in a tab page, which is in a tab control section. Whenever the main form window resizes itself, I can't get the user control to redraw in the newly available width. I set the SetStyle() method with a flag of ResizeRedraw, but no avail. How do I resize Do I have to do it programmatically Or tap into a resize event Hello All. bmains: When your form resizes, does the tab control resize as well I'm assuming it does, since you say that on resize there is newly available width for the user control. Check the anchor settings for the user control, and anchor it Top, Bottom, Left, and Right. That's if you don't want it to fill the tab control page. If you do want it t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Multiple windows in TaskBar

  I have a VB.Net app that can open multiple windows. When a few windows get open, they collapse on the task bar with my application Icon, the number of open forms, and the title (WindowsApplication1). Is there a way I can change the title to be my application title Thanks Hank Thanks for the tip, but it only shows 'WindowsApplication1' when I have many forms open from my application and then Windows compresses the windows into 1 taskbar entry. That is the entry that says windows application 1. I have changed the application name and namespace and it has not changed this behaviour. -Hank ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creat Thumbnail, and View Image on Click

  I would like to create a button or other object that would create a thumbnail of the image it represents. When someone clicks on it, I would like the larger image to display in a PictureBox on my form. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me, as I have not been able to get any of this to work... Thanks, i believe picturebox4_Click signature should be.... instead of PaintEventArgs, try EventArgs in regards for placing the other line of code I posted earlier, place that when the user clicks on the control when you wish to enlarge that picture and show it into the picturebox control :-) Either on a button click such as "enlarge image" or some other picturebox control where you are display ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting protected controls using reflection

  Hi, I am inspecting an assembly that has a form, and this form has some controls that are inherited from a BaseForm class. Using GetFields I get to know its controls. However, the inherited controls do not show. I have set BindingFlags as follows: BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic; Am I missing something, any ideas Thanks in advance. Yeah but I would need to create an instance of the form to do that, and I would like to avoid that whenever possible since it may be quite a performance hit. My bad for not saying it in the first post. Would it be possible to inspect inherited controls without creating an instance of the form ...Show All

• Visual Basic COM Object BeginInvokes at Program Close?

  We're writing a program where we have a COM object that is created and used several times through the runtime of the program. I'm finding, though, that I get this bizzare error after closing the program. I've verified that this error comes after an Application.Exit() call, and the stack trace doesn't involve any of our code, so I have no idea how to diagnose this (if I could just supress it, I'd be fine, since the program can finish closing after I hit F5 when the exception comes up in the debugger). Yeah, I had tested that and it didn't change it, but... I found when I was digging through some of my collegues code that he wasn't disposing of a dialog that had a COM object on it. We didn't think much of it at the time, probably, because w ...Show All

• SQL Server Iterating the rows of a script component

  Hi There, Can someone please let me know what is the best way to iterate the output rows of a script component and stick in those ids in a where clause of a select query (to retrieve additional info from a database) Is this possible at all If not, what is the best way to deal with this situation Thanks a lot!!

• Windows Forms Dialog result without closing / event handling

  For reference, I'm working in VS Express, C#.  I'll try to keep background short and need-to-know.  Also, my apologies on the font size - I tried to make it normal and apparently I have failed... In my efforts to follow a good OO approach to programming a project, I have created an abstract object called Item (as in an item on a test) with an abstract method Display (which displays the item and returns an int that is the answer given).  I also have a TestAdministrator class that selects the items in a test and presents them to the test taker. Furthermore, in an effort to keep load times to a minimum, I have created an ItemDisplayForm class that gets passed into the Display function.  The idea was to have ...Show All
