• Visual C# FolderBrowserDialog and folder shortcuts

  Hi Guys, I have a C# app that needs to allow a user to select a folder, it then moves the contents of that folder to somewhere else. I am using the FolderBrowserDialog to allow the user to select the folder but now they want to be able to select or open a folder shortcut and select folders underneath that. Folder shortcuts don't get displayed by the FolderBrowserDialog (presumably because they are files ) but I can't use the file selection dialog as that doesn't allow the selection of folders and I don't want the user to be able to select individual files. I am trying to avoid having to write a custom version of the FolderBrowserDialog but I guess that's plan B. Does anyone have any suggestions Regards, Rob ...Show All

• Visual Basic Function to open a form, then when it is closed, return a value back to original form

  Hi Guys! Basically I'm after a way I can open a form (say, form2 for the exercise), then when form2 is closed, the function will return a value from a textbox on form2, obviously calling the function from form1. I've got something like the following... #FORM2 Public Class Form2 Dim Showing As Boolean = True Public ReadOnly Property ValueIWant() As String Get ValueIWant = Me .TextBox.Text End Get End Property Public Function GetValueFromForm2() as String Me.Show() If Me. IsShowing = False Return Me.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need Advice To Build V6 Program with Strtok Deprecation Errors

  Hi, I have a program reportedly compiled with VS C++ V6 that I need to compile, (no using the new VS C++ Express. The only major error message preventing the build come from deprecation of the strtok() commands in the program. I have searched all over the internet, and gotten advice to swith to strtok_s or turnoff the deprecation. I can't find a step by step detail instruction on how to turnoff deprecate in VS C++ Express, nor can I find any step by step conversion instructions for a replacement command that works. For example, if I do what the compiler says, change the strtok to strtok_s or _r even the resulting build does not even recognize the commands. I am hoping that this is a simple matter for the experts among you. I just don't ...Show All

• .NET Development ODBCCommand.ExecuteReader causes application to unload

  Hi I have found the weirdest thing. We have a requrement to connect to a Scada Experion data source to extract data. We currently use a VB6 app and have just started porting it to dot net. We are using the ODBCConnection class to read in the data. Establishing the connection is very expensive so we currently hold it open, using the same connection to access the database every 60 seconds for days or weeks on end. When the app detects a connection failure, it closes the connection and creates a new one. We have tried to replicate this functionality in Dot Net. We wrote a provider class that creates, monitors and maintains the connection. Utilising Connection Pooling, which has to be enabled at the driver level, is not an option due to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial Port. Problems in Storing received data

  Hello everybody. I'm still on the same project: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=714917&SiteID=1 Is it also a problem if you are using our test program to send and receive If this is not the case, it may be the lack of protocol that courses trouble. As explained previously, the read loop will return when there are no more data, but you have no guarantee that the telegram has finished at that time! If one or more bytes are missing, the read loop will be activated again when these bytes arrive and this will set the index I to 0 and overwrite the array. You may e.g. select an ASCII character as telegram termination (e.g. 04 - EOT - End Of Transmission) and wait for this before the package is send to the display ro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office how to send a message from a different account other than the default using c# ?

  Hi, I have two accounts set up in outlook, how do I send an item using the no default account thanks. Hey guys, I just figured out a simple workaround for outlook users using pre-2007 versions of outlook. All you have to do is create a new email using outlook, leave everything blank, then go into options and change the "send message using" to the account you wish to use. Then, do a "save as" and save this blank email as an "office template" file. Then in your program, instead of calling the CreateItem(olMailItem) function, use the CreateItemFromTemplate("path and file name of the template you created") function. This creates a blank email with the proper "send message using& ...Show All

• Windows Forms SMTP.

  How do I find out what my SMTP is If you do not have a server running on your local machine you’d need to check with your network administrator, ISP or host provider to find out what you should use. To check your local machine the easiest way is to simply open up a command prompt and type in the following and hit enter: telnet localhost 25 If you can successfully connect then you’ve likely got one, if not then you don’t or it’s off (and turning it on would depend on what server it is). ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingNavigator

  I am quite new in VB I am trying to make a simple form with tables from a SQL database.I have three tables ( 1 parent and 2 children) shown as details. They areralated in a dataset with primary keys and FK. I have added two sets of data into thedatabase. When I run the application it works out fine, and I can shift between the two sets of datawith the navigatorbar. The three tables shifts correctly. However - when I add a new record into the application and save it, it is only the parent table that obtains the data. The two other tables become emptywhen shifting away - and back to the new record. I would be very pleased if anyone can help me out of this problem. Best regards Claus I had a similiar problem once.

• SQL Server ODBC DSN on Cluster Server

  Is MDAC cluster-aware I have an active/passive MS Cluster server. ODBC DSN changes on the virtual cluster server are not propagated to the passive node. How do I configure ODBC DSN such that they are propagated to both nodes in an active/passive cluster tia Please note that MDAC is client driver while virtual cluster server is the server. Your ODBC DSN configuration is for the client, not for the server. The DSN will be used by the client to collect server information. So, what you need to do is to configure DSN in all client machines and the server name in the DSN shoule be the name of the SQL Server Virtual Server. Or in short, MDAC itself is not cluster-aware. ...Show All
