• Visual Basic Web Browser Popups

  Hello everybody, I have created a successful webbrowser in VB Express Edition 2005, with all controls (back, forward, stop etc..). Yet when a link is clicked which opens a new window on a website, it always opens in internet explorer... how can I prevent this from happening Thankyou Ben wb.navigate( http://microsoft.com )   '<-----  Navigate property This needs to be in an executable pathway (routine, procedure, property, or method). Does this make sense The event occurs asynchronously after the browser had navigated. It is not essential that you do anything in the event.

• .NET Development Anti-XSS Library errors

  After many long hours of trying to get a precoded service connector to work properly on a shared host, I came across some findings: - Directory access capability sucks/is impossible/is nil - Doing anything that requires elevated security priveledges means your screwed, and have to rewrite your code - Special string parsing requires elevated security priveledges It makes sense for the first two, and they are almost common sense, however the third one threw me. I was using the antixsslibrary.dll written by Microsoft in the local environment, where security priveledges are defaulted. When I switched over to the shared hosting, I came across multiple errors, namely the string parsing error. (this was done a while ago, curiosity is bringi ...Show All

• Visual C# ignore mouse down event

  I'm new to C# programming, learning it for pleasure on my own time. As an exercise, I'm creating a simple Windows program that 1) takes the mouse-down event as an 'anchor' point, 2) while dragging the mouse around continually draw a line from that anchor point to the current mouse position, 3) once the mouse-up occurs, shrink the resulting line down automatically until it disappears. Not too hard, and it works perfectly fine. My problem is that I do not want the Form to accept any mouse-down's while the shrinking logic is occurring. Currently, while the line is shrinking, I can do some more click-and-drags, and once the shrinking completes, those subsequent lines are drawn/shrunk in like fashion. I want to effectively ignore any mouse- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Programmatically display Add Reference dialog

  Hi, Is there any way I can reuse the standard VS2003 IDE Add Reference Dialog from my custom project type.

• SQL Server Duplication in the primary key column

  Hi I have a set of excel files that i need to export to sql2005 using ssis. Now the issue is that i have no idea about he data ie it may have duplication in the primary key column. If i export it as it is to sql server, it will cause me problems. Is there any way i can filter out the rows which have duplication in the primary key column Umer Couple of choices - Use the Sort or Aggregate transform to produce unique rows only Use a lookup to detect duplicates that already exist, but not really effective for duplicates within the same file. Import the data and just ignore or redirect errors. See Handling errors in SSIS - MSDN Forums, ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=747048&SiteID=1 ) ...Show All

• SQL Server Parent-child variable issues that may impact deployment

  We are using SSIS for the first time. My team is working on a project that involves putting a date time stamp into a series of tables. These tables are being assembled in a series of child packages being executed by the parent. When the parent runs, we evaluate our timestamp variable as a GETDATE() expression and pass it to the children to be included as a derived column. We don't want the actual runtime of each step to be the timestamp, just the start of the batch (parent). In order to get the variable to pass over to the child, we needed to set the package location to "file system"instead of "SQL Server". It seems unusual that this would be so. Are we doing something wrong What implications does this have for d ...Show All

• Visual Basic Issue with viewing errors in the IDE

  I have tried to view my errors by using the IDE. However, when I click on > View >> Errors I do not see the error list window. I only see if I run DeBug and click on the "Yes" to continue even though there are errors. Does anybody have any idea how I restore the ability to view my errors Thank you! So you are not seeing the Error list window Or you are seeing the window and not the errors (The prior response was assuming you could see the window but not the errors in the window.) Is it possible that the window is just off the screen Try resetting all of the window positions to their original positions and then viewing the Error List window again. ...Show All
