• Visual Studio Express Editions Printing in "visual basic express Edition" ?

  Hi all. Im looking for a "beginners" guide, on how to enable printing in my homemade programs. I am, at best, a beginner when it comes to programming, and i have no previous experience with visual basic, other than the videos supplied by learnvisualstudio.net. All the topics I can find about printing, is about the difference between printing in Visual Basic express and Visual Basic 6.0, but I dont know VB6, so that doesn’t help me much. So if any of you know a good place to start, in learning about printing, i would really appreciate if you would post a link to it. Thanks in advance, and I apologize if my english is a little incoherent, im not use to speaking/writing in this language. Since you want to know ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading the buttons of Joystick Saitek x52

  Hi all, Did anybody come across a C# sample that relates to Saitek X52 I have found some generic Joystick samples which help me read the buttons EXCEPT the Mode button. The GetButtons() function returns the codes of the pressed buttons, but I cannot get the status of the Mode button out. I just spoke to Saitek support - No .NET samples whatsoever. Any tips will be appreciated. Best Moni. Sorry I reopen the topic - just to post the feedback. Just FYI. I ran the Joystick sample from the Feb SDK - it is identical to the one I have from Oct. '06 Both using ....\Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput\1.0.2902....... Code-lines also the same - Unless I picked the wrong demo project - The ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Fuzzy text in a label control

  Hi, I've added some controls to the top of a sheet in an Excel file. The problem I'm having is that the text on, say a label, is blurry or fuzzy. It almost looks like when smoothing is being applied but actually makes it worse. I've tried various fonts and sizes and that doesn't matter. The rest of the text on the sheet looks fine. Has anyone seen this before, and hopefully knows what's happening I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Hi Dennis, I was wrong. The funny thing is, when I run the program, the screen intially shows up with the label still fuzzy. However if I'm patient (which I'm often not), in a few seconds it clears up. Weird. I'm glad you asked the question -- if I wasn't trying to capture screenshots I wouldn't h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Uninstalling Evaluation version of Team Explorer

  Hi, I installed the evaluation edition of Team Explorer on my machine, and when I'd finished, I uninstalled it (through Add/Remove programs) The problem I have now is that although it does not appear inside VS on hte menus, it does appear as an installed element on the splash screen, and I get a blank form displayed when I start VS which appears to be the dialog that used to prompt me for a user name and password. (I had to specify these to connect the the TFS server because if network problems). Any ideas on what might have been left behind that could be causing the problem Cheers, Bill Thanks for the error report.

• SQL Server Tying parameters to variables in an "SQL Command Using Variable" expression

  I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle 9 DB cost history table and populate SQL Server table for report purposes. The Oracle has 470 milliion rows so I'm trying to migrate the data incrementally. After reading blogs and help pages, it sounds like the best method is to set up the source connection using the Oracle OLE DB provider and an "SQL Command Using Variable" expression. I was able to get this work from the examples from the various blogs (Donald Farmer, Jamie Thompson, Scott Barrett -- great info, better than BOL). I've been using Oracle for all of my career and I'm just learning how to work with SQL Server 2005 (in other words-- SSIS newbie).

• Windows Forms Help - problem with datagridview on tab control that is not active during data load

  Hi, I have this problem in my application development (C#, windows form). I have a datagridview in a tab control on the form that the tab it belongs to is not the active one during data load. In that datagridview, I have defined some unbounded check box columns which I manually (programmatically just after the data load) set to true or false based on a text box column (bounded) in the row. The problem is if I set the tab with the datagridview in it to be the active tab before the data load, the check marks on the checkboxes show properly. But when the tab with the datagridview in it is not the active tab before the data load, check marks does not show on the checkboxes. This problem I have is kind of hard to explain so I created a test ...Show All
