• Windows Forms What can stop Trace from writing to the listener?

  After sometimes when the file gets big enough, Trace stops adding entry to the text file. During my testing the file size varies(100KB - 7MB) when the Trace stops adding to it. Any ideas I did some test as following Trace.Listeners.Add(new TextWriterTraceListener(@"D:\trace.txt")); .... for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { Trace.WriteLine("adsfjsdijfi4ewjklfjioajslkdjfklsdajfkljskldajfijkjkjklafsjdfkdjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjisafjidjskfjsaklfj"); Trace.Flush(); } but I can't see your problem. could you please paste your code to show your way to reproduce your problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UIElement containing another application's window?

  Hello, I've seen the description (in MSDN docs) of UIElement that says: " UIElement can be considered roughly equivalent to a window handle in Microsoft Win32 programming". Maybe I'm taking this too literally, but *could* a UIElement contain another application's window For example, if you've seen the puzzle sample in the Windows SDK (v6.0\Samples\Demos\15Puzzle\Csharp), they do something pretty cool by splitting up different UIElement objects across the pieces of a puzzle, and scrambling the pieces. They have it working for video, some vector (svg-like) animation, 3D cube animation, and a windows form. I was wondering if it was possible to take this a bit further and show, for example, Microsoft Word or even the command-li ...Show All

• Windows Forms Customizing DataGridView Selection Behavior

  I'm currently trying to use a datagridview to allow the user to select multiple items from a table. While the multiselect functionality will work for what I want. I would prefer to have the program only change the selection of the current cell when a cell is clicked. Or to basically have the program act as if the user was always holding down the Ctrl key for selection purposes. Additionally, I would prefer if I could also restrict selection based upon the value in the cell being selected. Looking around the net, I found vague references to being able to disable the ordinary selection behavior. However I have not been able to find any information on how to actually do this. If anyone knows how to do this, could they point me in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Sending Page Down to WebBrowser control

  I have a VB.NET program that loads a web age into a WebBrowser window and I want to programmatically page down to a section of the page. I can get the page to load fine, it is the Page Down command that I am having trouble with. I tried to activate the webbrowser then send the {PGDN} with SendKeys method. It works intermittantly. The problem seems to be in getting the webbrowser to be actived before I send the {PGDN}. I have tried things like: WebBrowser1.Focus() Me .ActiveControl = WebBrowser1 active = Me .ActiveControl but I see other controls on my form get highlighted from time to time. If i manually click in the WebBrowser then send the {PGDN} it works fine. I even tried programmatically moving the ...Show All

Thanks. Michael: Thank you very much for the sincere advice, it was much appreciated. I have never worked with any methodologies before and the co.

• Visual Basic Passing Optional Arrays to a Sub

  In Visual Basic 2005, I am trying to create a sub in a class that takes an optional string(). However, I am unable to figure out how to set the default value. I have already tried: Public Sub getData(Optional ByVal postData() as String = {"", ""}) However, I get an expression required error at the {. Also, I tried the New String(), but then I get the error saying it must be a constant. What am I missing Thanks. Optional Pararmeters require a constant and as a constant cannot be declared as an array you can't do this. Why not use an overloaded function - Private Sub GeData( ByVal postData As String ()) ' my work End Sub Private Sub GeData() ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form Designer No Longer Loads for a User Control

  I am using VB Net 2005. I am in a panic - I no longer have IDE access to a very important User Control. In the Solutions Tree Control the normal icon of the user control has been replaced by a simple blue "VB" code text file. The control istelf runs perfectly when I run my app, but I can't change anything on it with the form designer because it won't load. The control is not listed on my Objects list anymore and it is not present in my toolbox either. All other User Controls load fine into the IDE and work normally. I have no idea how I did this or how to edit my control again. I have been trying to find help for this everywhere and the consesnsus is that this is a bug. I tried copying and pasting, rebuilding with all co ...Show All
