• Visual Basic Printing - skip a page

  I'm using the PrintDocument's PrintPage event to do my printing. All works fine, but I can't figure out how NOT to print a page of a multi-page document. Even if I never call DrawString inside the PrintPage event for a particular page, a blank page is sent to the printer for that page. Say you want to skip page #3. When the 3rd PrintPage event fires, just render the contents of page 4... ...Show All

• .NET Development String.IndexOf Method (Char, Int32) - Accepts out of range index!!!

  Hi, It seems that String.IndexOf(Char, Int32) accepts a startIndex that is outside of the string range, if its only off by one! the following compiles and runs just fine (it returns a -1 though) string hello = "Hello World!" ; Console .WriteLine(hello.IndexOf( '!' , hello.Length)); please note that hello[hello.Lenght] is out of range! now my question is, do i rely on this behaviour or is this something that should not be happnenig that i should not code against Thanks. aghoneim IndexOf just checks if the startIndex is greater than the string's length. I believe the framework is pretty consistent in that respect. If there's no possible way you c ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change the color of textbox after set enable to false?

  Hi, I am using VB.Net 2005, after I set my textbox enable to false, how can I change the background color and font color of the textbox If I just change the font color property of the textbox, it doesn't seem work. Thanks a lot. why not "replace" the textbox (or combo, datetimepicker etc.) field with labels if you want to disable them. Labels are not editable. Label colors can be adapted. Just place a label over the control you want to disable and hide the control. For enabling hide the label and show the control. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unshelve shelveset when files locked?

  I tried to unshelve another users shelveset and one of the files in the shelve was a .exe and it said the file was locked so I could not get the shelveset. Is there a way I can get the files out without having it try to checkout (lock), as I need that file for my testing. Thanks. Overwriting files without checking them out is against philosophy of TFS (tracking all changes on server). How could you check in changes that you've unshelved if the unshelve didn't check out files You would need also to do get /force every time to clean your workspace. I see two possibilities: simple powertool that "unshelve" changes outside of workspace (the same way James described) (imho hacky and n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Still a bit slow opening projects

  Hello, As mentioned before, the import schema process is extremely fast now, which was pleasantly surprising, however opening an existing project with lots (>5,000) of objects still takes a long time. This is also without using source control and so I'm guessing it would take up to 10 minutes to open if I put my project into TFS / VSS. Is there any way to speed up the opening process, e.g. by disabling particular schema checks when first opening the project I just put the project into TFS and was surprised to see it wasn't much slower than being unbound, so that was interesting :-) It still does take about 4 minutes to load up though, so does anyone know any uneccessary startup checks I can disab ...Show All

• Windows Forms Program Icon Question

  Hi, just a question about what VB Express allows concerning icons. I made an icon (.ico file) which after deployment displays fine for the start menu. However, it does not display in the actual program. Is this a limitation of VB Express or is there a trick to display a custom icon in the actual program (upper left corner & task bar) I am asking this because I got an icon I downloaded from somewhere to display in the program (don't ask me how) and now I can't get it to not display. Any ideas Thanks, Daniel I have already selected my icon through the project application properties. My icon shows up on the start menu. But what you mentioned about the form sounds like what I need. I want the icon to sho ...Show All
