• Visual Basic String comparsome

  I ran into a little issue with comparing 2 strings against each other. The data is NY in the datatable I can enter whatever in textbox1 and my code will accept it (example; x5v45) the table is setup with the field being nvarchar(50) What I was wanting to do is select a name from the combobox and compare a different field from the same table with a textbox . I did try one other thing, that was to take the selected text and populate a different textbox to see what it was comparing, and it was NY Test code: If Me .TextBox1.Text = Me .ENameComboBox.SelectedText Then MsgBox( "Nope" ) Else Me .Close() End If Where did I mess up at Davids Learning ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Installing .NET 1.1 over .NET 3.0 issues?

  We would like to use the XML Diff/Patch tool ( http://msdn.microsoft.com /library/default.asp url= /library/en-us/dnxmlnet/html /xmldiffgui.asp ) but it requires .NET 1.1, and I'm running .NET Framework 3.0. Will I end up trashing 3.0 if I install 1.1 Are we asking for trouble by using a tool that is clearly not on the MS upgrade path Thanks. Steve Thorn 1.1 and 3.0 install side-by-side without interference and therefore shoould not see any issues. 3.0 uses the 2.0 CLR and therefore installing 3.0 requires having the 2.0 Framework installed.

• Smart Device Development textbox.Focus() after end of character

  I am developing a smart device application. Just added a button called "Loose". This button will display "Loose" character on the textbox, however the cursor is not on the textbox. So I added .Focus() function. But the cursor appear at the start of the textbox (before "Loose") instead at the end of the character "Loose". Is there anyway that I can make the cursor to blink at the end of "Loose" character This should do the trick: textBox1.Select(textBox1.Text.Length, 0) ...Show All

• Visual C# Open Exchange Appointments

• SQL Server ForEach File Enumerator extension bug?

  I set up a basic ForEach enumerator loop and specified files of type *.sql. In the directory, I had some files I needed to keep but didn't want the package to touch, so I changed the extension to *.sqlo. Much to my dismay, the ForEach loop picked up those files. (Though it did skip the *.xml and *.bat and a few other types...) Sounds like a bug to me. I believe you (after looking at that link). But that is just bizarre and, to me, nonsensical. Especially if one continues to read. This *only* applies to a 3-character extension search pattern - nothing else. Why oh why would they do such a stupid thing This means that there is direct no way to specify give me only the three character file extens ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Benefits of XNA Game Studio

  Can someone with experience using Game Studio please identify the features it provides to assist an individual game developer I'm skeptical because it doesn't have any built-in capabilities to import animations created in 3D packages. That's a basic feature any game creation tool should have. the K wrote: waruwaru, Could you elaborate on what the content pipleline provides From what I understand so far, it's a simple way for you to get your game assets/resources (i.e, graphics, sounds, models, textures..etc) as part of your projects.

• Visual C++ VS05 saying project (unmanaged) is out of date and needs rebuilding when it has just been built

  Hi all Can anyone give me an idea of how to fix this somewhat annoying problem I have several projects in my solution. All are C++, some are managed and some are native. When I try to run the program - even if I've just done a build - it tells me that several of my projects (all the native ones) are out of date and need to be rebuilt. When I click yes, it will go through these projects and run the linker (at least the output window says "Linking..."). The linker doesn't actually do any linking (takes about a second to finish) and then goes on to the next project. Once its finished all the projects it will start running. If I stop running and then try to run it again, I have to go through the same process. Does anyone ...Show All
