Visual Studio Express Editions User Control
The small project that I've been working on is now finished and I'm rather pleased with it. Thanks to the help on this forum it works just as I wanted it to, so much so that I thought it I would have it as a control so that I can use it in future projects. Looking back at a my previous post on how to create a user control I got stuck in and up to this point all well, however, I have hit a couple of sticking points, quite a bit of the code that I pasted in to the user control had squiggles which, after following the error correction tips I've sorted but there are two where no tip is available and these are the two that I am asking for help with. 1) Label1.BackColor = Color .FromKnownColor(cmbSelected.SelectedIndex + 28) Name 'Color' is not ...Show All
Visual C++ Linking an app in debug mode (with /MDd) against static lib built in release mode (with /MD)
I remember this sort of mixing used to work fine prior to VS2005. But now it doesn't seem to. This suggests that one has to have a debug and a release versions of each library to be able to compile a debug and a release version of the application. The following short example results in an access violation exception: Compile A.* into a.lib in release mode with /MD (it doesn't matter if compiled with or without optimization): File A.h: #include <vector> class A { public : std::vector< double > v; A( int x) {} ~A(); }; File A.cpp: #include "A.h" A::~A() { } Compile app.cpp in debug mode with /MDd: File app.cpp: #include "A.h" void main() { A a(4); } The ex ...Show All
Windows Forms Auto Close form after time - VB, VS-05
I'm having trouble getting the basic idea of the "Timer" function. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 in a VB environment. It sounds simple, I have a custom made "about form" and I would like to have it close automatically after a set time period, I guess a timer can do this. Could someone point me in the right direction Thanks Daniel 'fred' Munro Try something like this in your About Form Public Class frmAbout Private Sub frmAbout_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim T As New Timer T.Interval = 5000 T.Start() AddHandler T.Tick, AddressOf CloseMe End Sub Private Sub CloseMe(ByVal sender As Object, ByV ...Show All
SQL Server Newbie Advice Installing SSRS
Hi, I've decided to install SSRS (2005) on my windows XP machine. I'm not very familiar with IIS (i'm currently using version 5.1) and I think between IIS and SSRS, i've managed to break something.

Visual Studio Express Editions Need to bind data from SQL server 2000 to textboxes and also be updated when other users change data
I'm trying to move away from working in microsoft access and try and work with SQL Server. I'm going to be storing around 50K records of data in a table within SQL server at first. I tried using the visual studio.net Dataset control to create all my bound fields in the set, but what I noticed is the connection is not continually connected to the source. I will have several users using this app, and each could be updating any record at any time, and I need and update to take affect on the server right away and the next time someones accesses that record will see the update. What I have found out is that the DataSet created is only a copy of the Data at that moment and then the connection is closed, so no telling if anything was updated. ...Show All
Visual Basic Iterating through a list of folders
Hello all, SUper Noob here. I have a very basic question regarding iteration through a list of folders that I need to search. The object of this program is to look for files older then 10 days old in a given set of folders. As much as I dont mind doing if statements for each folder object I specified, I would like to be able to grow the list and not have excessive code. Anyway, any and all suggestions would be greatly appcriciated. Thank you and take care. This is what I have now: Sub Main() Dim fso, Efile, EFolder1, Efolder2 fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") EFolder1 = fso.getfolder("C:\temp2") Efolder2 = fso.getfolder("C:\temp3") For Each Efile In Efolder2 ...Show All

SQL Server Records from internal Table not output in order to flat file
Hi - I have a SSIS package that dumps data from an internal table to a flat file output using standard data flow tasks. The entire table is output - no special SQL. Most of the time the records are placed in the output file in the same order as the internal DB table, but occasionally the order appears to be more random. When that happens, the record order in the internal table is correct - it is just the output. I can find no properties that seem to affect this. I would appreciate any hints and advice that anyone can give me. Has anyone else encountered this same problem Thanks in advance, Jim Sweeney Hi Jamie - The Data Flow only has a OLE DB Source task and a Flat File Destination t ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. other operating systems?
will XNA ever be available for linux, mac, or other c'mon at least mac! Microsoft hasn't said anything about it by now but historically, DirectX has never been deployed for any other OS than Windows. Now DirectX will be accessible also for XBOX 360 through XNA but I don't have any hope to have DirectX for Mac, Linux or solaris. However very recently Microsoft signed a contract with Novell (the developer of Suse Linux, Mono technologies, Openoffice and others) in which for a period of five years both are to work together. The reason is that like you or me, developers want Xplatform solutions and that means developing a program once and being able to run it in all systems. Mono has long been the alternative ...Show All
