• Visual Studio Express Editions Controls Snap To Locations in VB Express Edition 2005

  Whenever I try to add a control to a form, it always wants to "snap to" a location based on other controls on the form. Sometimes this is useful, and other times it is not. If I want a row of buttons, all placed right next to one another with no space in between, VB either wants them spaced out, or overlapping each other. How can I turn this feature off That is what I needed. Seems like I tried every different setting you mentioned and couldn't get it to work, then this morning it works as you described it. Also, using the keyboard arrow keys to precisely move buttons around helps when they're "almost" where they need to go. Thanks! ...Show All

• .NET Development page cannot be displayed, etc.

  hi, on friday i chose to run ad-aware, spyboy-search and destroy, ccleanup and maybe another program, all which were installed over the summer to reduce viruses or harmful things on my computer. however, when i was prompted to reboot the computer, i did so, but now my internet connection will not work. i feel like i have looked through every help and support article online...I ran network diagnostics and all sorts of things. some of the things that stuck out were "DNS" "TCP/IP Protocol" something called "SyM WMI service"..

• .NET Development Best practice for checking user's permission

  Background: I have an application that contains several modules. Each module has an "access permission" which is stored in a database as the AdPath. For example, WinNT://Everyone has access to module 1. LDAP://domain.se/CN=Developers,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=se has access to module 2. Now, to check if the current user has access to a module I run this piece of code: AppDomain .CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(System.Security.Principal. PrincipalPolicy .WindowsPrincipal); WindowsIdentity identity = WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent(); IPermission permission = new PrincipalPermission ( "" , "" ); DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry (adPath); byte [] objectSid = ( byte [])de.Proper ...Show All

• Visual C# arrays and properties.

  dear all, I have a class called precipitate class Precipitate { private string name; public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value; } } } So far so good. I create an array of the precipitate class Precipitate[] prec = new Precipitate[20]; for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) prec = new Precipitate(); when I want to access the property name for a particular array element we do it as prec .name. Again no problem here. Now I want to have something like... what I want is something like... prec .equation[j].equationname; prec .equation[j].valuex; etc... how should I do it I just know the basics and dont know if...you can create a property array "equation[]" inside the prec class and make ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot set value because it is in a register and not in the top frame

  Hi. I have a problem, that... when the string variable shows "mystring" but string.IsNullOrEmpty evaluates to true. I'm using this variable to access SortedList and it fails that key cannot be null. However when I watch the variable it has the value it is supposed to have. The subroutine where it first occurs is: public bool IsReadOnly( string fmBind) { XPathNavigator node = xpData.SelectSingleNode(bindings[fmBind].NodeSet, _nm); if ( string .IsNullOrEmpty(bindings[fmBind].ReadOnly)) return false ; return /*node != null && */ ( bool )node.Evaluate(bindings[fmBind].ReadOnly); } Exception is thrown on the return - because node gets null. However I cannot try to find out why it is, b ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Flow content and data binding

  Hello! I'm trying to generate a FlowDocument through a data binding (it's some kind of report). And it looks like that all the flow content elements were not designed for data binding. MSDN suggests to generate such documents programmatically in C#, that is not an option for me — I'd like to separate "look & feel" from data. Question: Are there any samples/articles about using the data binding in FlowDocuments Thanks in advance, Thanks for reply! It's a great pity you don't support binding. I hoped to use FlowDocuments as a simple reporting engine. And without bindings it would require loads of code behind. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to monitor microphone input level?

  I'm using VB.net with Framework 2.0. How to monitor the mic level of the default soundcard I would like to be able to set a threshold value (0-100%) and when the mic level is greater than that a message box would appear. It would be important that the detection would be fast (with as short delay as possible) and consume CPU resources as little as possible. Is this possible without DirectX SDK I found some code in VB6 and C but could not translate them in VB.net. Thank you! I have to admit, I don't know how to use that source code. I think I should do something with the WaveInBuffer but that's all. Could you help me and give me more hints and advice Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual C++ 'Is' in C++

  Hi! In C#, there is a keyword named 'is'. It compares whether one type can be converted into another. Is it possible to do something like this in C++ Thank you Note that you said "type", implying a fundamental type (such as int), without specifying that you were referring to classes. That is what confused people initially. If it were me, I would look in the VC documentation. There probably is a way to determine if a class is derived from another class. It is possible however that there is a different solution to a more general problem. It might be possible to use virtual functions, and if so, then that would be easier and more flexible. ...Show All

• Visual Basic bubble sort in a list box

  OK, from what I understand, I would be better off trying to sort numbers in a bubble sort in my listbox. I used the listBox.sorted = true but that does not sort larger numbers correctly., What is the code on this bubble sort and do you just call it in a subroutine pseudo code: function bubble_sort( list L, number listsize) loop has_swapped := 0 //reset flag for number i from 1 to (listsize - 1) if L > L[i + 1] //if they are in the wrong order swap(L , L[i + 1]) //exchange them has_swapped := 1 //we have swapped at least once, list may not be sorted yet endif endfor //if no swaps were made during this pass, the list has been sorted ...Show All
