• Smart Device Development Access combobox.selectedindex in code

  I am trying to write a sub to set combobox.selected index to 0 I have tried: Dim ctl as Control For each ctl in me.Controls if TypeOf(ctl) is ComboBox then ctl.selectedindex = 0 endif Next I've searched the combobox in help, but cannot find the answer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Dennis Lackey If I understand you correctly... once you’ve passed your if statement you know the type of the control, you now just want to access it like a ComboBox and not a control so that you can set the SelectedIndex property... if that is the case, you just need to do a little type casting: The long way: Dim cb As ComboBox cb = CType (ctl, ComboBo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions changing current directory to bin

  Hello all, I'm currently working on a project that requires me to switch the current directory of the project to the project's bin. I've looked in several places, and can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone have any ideas Thanks so much for any input... sorry for this stupid question -Robert I understand that the user can select a file, xml in this case, using the openfiledialog. I understand that the openfiledialog directory, next time when shown, is set to the LAST place they chose the file from So in order to create your xml file, this has to do with the way you are writing a file. you need to give it the path you want to create the file in.

  Hi, There may be something wrong with the Microsoft Reader Content Software Development Kit, located at, http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/sdk.asp , not sure where to report it, so I'm writing a note about it here for others to find if they have the same problem. The problem with this SDK is probably that it is way too old and isn't entierly compatible with VS 2005. (I also have the new Windows Vista Platform SDK installed.) (Kind of makes me wonder if the Microsoft Reader application has been scrapped.)
