• Visual Basic disable code?

  I made a if statment, now if that statment is true, then what would i put to disable all the code below it In code, if you put something in the IF Clause - it will run it the expression is true. It sounds as though you dont want to run something when the condition is true. You could put code in the code in the else clause or change the code to if <expression> = False but you cant disable statements - you can merely choose to execute them or not at runtime. Another option maybe conditional compile conditions - this way certain code may be included when you set certain compile flags - but these flags are set in the project and used when the code is compiled up. This way you can exclude certain code from being compiled. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development javascript

  I am using javascript to change the source of an image. if I address the image by document. image_name .src=' new address '. IE7 reports an error saying. document. image_name is nul of not an object. If I address the omage by using image_name .src=' new address ' IE7 changes the address. I have had this problem in IE6 as well all elements would not accept having document added in front of them. I had to leave the document section off. But this is a problem as the page needs to work in all browse and other browse insist on having the document section appended to the front. I have tired using the document.getElementById() method but this never fetches the element. Is this a problem that other people find, since I have seen from other ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Close the message box just by touching screen

  Hi, I am using VB.net and Visual Studio 2005 to compile a program. Some messages have to appear on screen in order to tell users what the program completed, such as, "Update Succeed", "Item Was Not Found", etc. However, in order to close these message box, users have to use pen to click the "ok" on the right upper corner of the message box. What I want is: instead of clicking the "ok", users can close these message box just by touching screen. How can I do that Thanks a lot. Can you dim a boolean as "Dim touchToQuit = False" When the application pops up that message, set the touchToQuit = True. In the Form_Click event, type something as below: If touchToQuit = True Then ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Changing the timezone

  Is it possible to incorporate a mechanism in a programme to change the time zone of a device When setting the clock with a time retrieved via NTP the time of the device is updated (the ntpTime is UTC) but continues to display the offset defined in the timezone dialogue - i.e. around 8 hours behind local time when in the default PST. Ideally I would like to be able to set the time zone to match that defined in the normal control panel for "GMT London,Dublin" (even better would be a way to list all those in a drop down defaulting to "GMT London, Dublin"). Is this possible, preferably within the .net framework, or else using the API's If not, is it possible to launch the existing dialogue screen to allow the user to chan ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP authentication failed

  Hi, I have browsed this forum, and I found similar question, but none of the solutions have worked for me, so maybe I am doing something silly. However, let me try to describe what I am doing (I am fairly new to wcf programming). I managed to reproduce this same problem with the selfhost application (an example on the SDK, with the ICalculator). The problem manifests itself only when the client and the service aren't running in the same domain. If they are in the same domain (on different machines), everything runs fine. If I try to run the service inside a specific domain, and the client outside (say, just logged in locally into the machine), I get the following: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.Security.Sec ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Enum as Index

  If I have an enum such as public enum Test { One = 1, Two, Three } I want to be able to add a value based on the enumerated type such as: MyValue[Test.One] = 17; I would also like to keep ot strongly typesd so MyValue[1] = 17; is invalid. Is this possible within C# OK if I had public enum Test { One = 1, Two = 2, Hundred = 100 } The array would be 3 elements so I could not use MyValues[(int)Test.Hundred] = 17; It also is not strongly typed, I could still implement MyValues[2] = 17; which I want to disallow or at least check ...Show All

• .NET Development XSD in multiple versions

  Hi, I consider using XML serialization/deserialization to create an own file format. But what if the file format changes E.g. a elements or attributes could be added or removed. How do i handle such changes Thanks in advance! Hi, XSD versioning is a common problem nowadays. There are different approaches to solve the problem, but none of them can be considered as the best one. Tim Ewald wrote a great post about this topic on his blog, http://pluralsight.com/blogs/tewald/archive/2006/04/14/21733.aspx You can certainly add optional elements or attributes to a XSD schema, o mark other elements as optionals (So they can be ommited), but you have to consider changes that don't break existing client appl ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with MSAccess and executing a DTS package via VBA - returns column headings only

  I wonder if anyone can help with this. I have searched around and not found much on the topic which can resolve my problem. History on the reason for using VBA and not C# or VB or VB.net etc. Whn I arrived at this company, there were no development tools so had to resort to Access and VBA. Of course, the routines I wrote are now set in production and I haven't had much time to convert them to c# and ASP.NET (which I have learnt over the past couple of years). Anyway the problem is that I found on the SQLDTS.com site that I could in fact create and execute DTS packages within VB and followed the examples and got this working in VBA. Of course I created the DTS first and then saved it as VB, then used the resulting code with the VBA pr ...Show All
