• Visual Basic The simplest copy n paste destroys code behind link - ridiculous time wasting nonsense

  Novice using vb.net 2005, vb.net 2005 express, vb.net 2005 pro This situation is just down right insulting and another ridiculous time wasting feature of the MS IDE. I've placed a split container on my form. Then cut and pasted a group of controls that are already present on the form with linked code behind already working onto one split panel and another group on another split panel. Nothing works. I've now got to step thru my code and manually update the handles on each and every event from the controls I've cut and pasted just to test the look n feel even before deciding to use the split container model. This: Private Sub btnReports_Click( ByVal sender As System. Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnReports. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Front-end Framework

  Hi, I'm looking for a Front-end framework for .NET 2.0. Can you, guys, reccomend me something I want it: - fast - simple to use - good looking - feature-rich - The front-end will be loaded in run-time from some storage (XML file or so). It should work with the database through some kind of DataDictionary. - Also I need some scripting ability (like VB scripts to describe custom codes to update controls) If somebody has something in mind - let me know. And if your asking in this forum. I'd be creating the windows forms applications using Visual Basic.NET and if you want to do it for free - then I'd download a copy of VB Express from the microsoft web site. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Filter out characters in a string

  I have a column in a datagridview that contains a string. The string has a maximum length of 5 numbers or characters. Most of the entries are three numbers. However, some entries have three numbers followed by one or two characters. Some others are just characters. I need to find a way to be able to filter out any records that contain one or more characters in the string. In other words, I need a filter that will return a record with the following traits: 001 345 732 but, filter out records with the following traits: 001WB WB1 SET What code can I put in a filter that will do what I need The filter that I have right now also filters two other columns based on a TextBox and a ComboBox on the form.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office CacheInDocument not available in Excel Project

• Software Development for Windows Vista Credential Provider / User Session Question

  Hi, Is there any way for a credential provider to associate some of the data that is provided by the user at the logon UI page with the subsequent session that the user receives I think the answer is no, since none of the ICredentialProviderCredential methods expose any information about the user's session, but I was wondering if there was some other API that I could use during the ReportResult function to get some form of unique session identifier. Thanks Couple corrections: Even prior to Vista, winlogon could exist in sessions other than 0 (Terminal Services connections, Fast User Switching). Also, WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId returns the TS session id of the session currently bound to the physical dis ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development MSIE7 on Windows Vista - window.external returns error 'library not registered'

  I have an application which runs fine on WinXP - even with MSIE7 installed. But - when installed on Windows Vista RC2 - there is a significant problem. THe applicaiton hosts an embedded MSIE control, and it uses the window.external callback mechanism to call from the webpage javascript pack to the hosting container application. Again - this works just fine on Windows XP - including under the 'Application Compatability' tester Microsoft supplies. But under Vista - when I do those javascript callbacks to the application - I get the 'library not registered' error message. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - dragging multiple items with left mouse button

  I'm probably opening a can of worms, but I would really like to be able to do this. Currently, I can easily drag items between DGV's. If I select multiple items by holding the CTRL button while I click, and on the last item, I initiate the drag without letting up the mouse, I am able to drag multiple items. However, if I select the last item, let up the mouse button, and then put it back down again to grab the items and drag them, the DGV selects the item that was under the mouse click. I realize this is the expected behavior; does anyone know a way to override it so that my items remain selected Now, I have a workaround that involves keeping track of the selected items myself, and if the mouse goes up and backdown and a drag begins, to r ...Show All
