• Visual Basic Trouble parsing text to a treeview

  I am making a program that can parse a textfile to display in a treeview. I can figure out how to get it to show properly in the treeview. I am trying to make a way to edit the treeview and am having some problems. Here is a sample of what a textfile looks like Block One 00000000.0 Name Optional Text Description Now, the first line is a toplevel node with the text "One". The second line is the text of a child of "One" without the Description part. When the node is selected I want the description part to appear in a textbox. I cannot figure this out. Also, is there a way to move a specific node up or down in a treeview Thanks, Troy Hi Troy, Let's see if this can ...Show All

• SQL Server Restore fails

  Hi, I'm using VB.net (VS2005 pro) and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I made a Windows Forms application that uses SMO to backup and restore a SQL database. User instance = false. I am using ClickOnce for deployment. Backup (also using SMO) is working fine, but Restore fails. I'm getting this error: The file 'database_veryverylongpath_and_name' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'database_veryverylongpath_and_name'. On my developing machine all works fine, but after publishing and installing (ClickOnce) on another machine, restore using SMO fails (backup succeeds). When restoring the database using SQL Server Management Studio (using the exect same backup-file as I do in code) all works fine (no matter w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharing issue in VSTS Source control

  Hello guys, I'm trying to migrate our VSS database to VSTS Source Control and I don't really understend how can I make "sharing" happen at VSTS For example we have next VSS source tree: $root |-DummyProject |-Includes |-ProjectA |-ProjectB Both of them have shared files from <Include>.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Linking programs through the internet

  So, I have an application which, basically, I want that, as it is updated by one person, the changes the same on whatever other computers it is linked to. I could pretty easily get all the information that needs to be sent to update in a short little text line. The problem for me resides in sending it to others. I don't know anything about networking with VB, or if it is even possible, but any clues would be very helpful. Thanks a ton. Matt354245, According to your description, I don't think there is an VB.NET application that can help you to update one project and link the changes to another one computer with the same updates. Here I recommand you the tools: 1. VSTS - Visual Studio Team System ...Show All

• SQL Server DMV data lifetime

  I'm interested to know how long data 'resides' in a DMV - what causes that data to change etc. since they are dynamic views, and not tables, and I'm sure I've queried that, onyl to find that, later, the data is no longer in there. Is it on server restart, or is there a process or something else that defines how I've reviewd the BOL ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188754.aspx ) but that didn't really make me any wiser... Cheers Hello, The answer is "it depends on the DMV". In the case of sys.dm_exec_query_stats, the BOL says Returns aggregate performance statistics for cached query plans. The view contains one row per query plan and the lifetime of the row is t ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Data not up to date in newly created private data sessions.

  We are witnessing data not refreshing across users and data sessions until program shutdown/restart. One user adds records, then runs reports; another user then runs the same report and does not get the latest data the first user added - even minutes or hours after the addition. This is a large system (163,000 lines of .prg code, plus 68,000 more in class and screen methods), originally written in FoxPro 2.5 and 2.6, ported to VFP 8.0 with minimal code changes, except the reporting. The vast majority of the system is still @ ... SAY ... GET / READ MODAL..., etc. Also, about 100 of the most commonly used tables are opened at startup and remain open until shutdown. The reports, however are called from VFP forms, each instantiated from a (si ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating a database storage and information access?

  Okay I'm totally lost. I've been trying to make a website for our customers to sign into where they can view specific details relating to their company (their product purchases, warranty end dates, and points balance tracking).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to compare SolidColorBrush

  Hi, I'm trying to find a way to compare the color in the SolidColorBrush, so I could sort a list of SolidColorBrush. Thanks in advance. The real question is how do you want them sorted There isn't any obvious way to sort colors. What I mean is, if you try to sort from smallest number to greatest number (representing the color as a UINT), you're essentially going to be sorting by the amount of alpha and red. I'm guessing this is why Color doesn't implement the inequality operators. Also you need to watch out for the colors having different color profiles (rare). ...Show All

Initially, I copied the .pfx file from my work machine into the server and tried signing the manifest with it.
