• Smart Device Development CeFindFirstFile using VB6

  Ok, my first Smart Device project and I've come to a bit of a standstill, trying to find out what files are on the device. Tried the CeFindAllFiles, but from what I have read I don't think it will function in VB6. So, on to CeFindFirstFile and and CeFindNextFile. It all looks so easy. I'm confused as to how you set up the returning information. I keep seeing references to 'CE_FIND_DATA', but what is that all about If anyone has an example or ideas it would be appreciated. Bert You need VS 2005 to develop smart device applications. You can use VB.NET, C# and C++ as your language of choice.

• Windows Forms Read text file

  I have a vb script in a excel file which will read data from spreadsheet and generate a text file. Then I use vb.net (stream reader.readline) read this text file. The problem is the text file generated by excel script contains some special characters such as " c" , " R ". These special characters are ignored by the vb.net. Does anybody know why and how to work around the problem Further test, if I use streamwriter generated a second text file, and then cut & pasted all the content from the first text file to the second one. Then streamreader can read all text. Thanks Ying Hi, It probably has to do with the encoding of the file. Here's a link to more informati ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql Server 2000 Desktop Engine Installation

  I have SQL Server 2000 installed on my laptop and am trying to install an instance of MSDE. I keep getting the error message: "The installation of SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine has failed. Please see the Getting Started manual for further instructions." I have done this installation before on other machines. Something must be corrupt on my machine ( ). The error message is not very enlightening. Any ideas I tried kb 816499 and related 299351. Neither helped. One point: I previously tried to move applications from an older machine using PC Relocator which might have moved some files related to MSDE that I cannot see. There is no evidence of MSDE in Add/Remove Programs or Program Files or Enterprise Manager, but somethin ...Show All
