• Visual Basic Error Message that I can't resolve...

  I am fairly new to writing in VB and in reality it is actually my first true language that I am trying to learn. I am currently writing a small application for where I work that will be used internally by only a couple of people. The purpose of this project is to record and maintain records for troubleshooting calls. This is in essence a CYA (cover your *ss) ploy that also helps us maintain with compliance rules. So essentially what I did was create a small program that would refernce back to a database out on one of our servers. This was supposed to be something that I assumed would be very easy, and at first it did seem to be working properly. Now I have run into a problem that I do not have a solution for. The following is the error I g ...Show All

• Windows Forms GUI problem

  I have a problem I don't know how to solve: There are two controls on my form, lets assume two TextBoxes. The Leave event of the first TextBox disposes the other one - so if the focus is on the first TextBox and there is a mouse pressed on the second one - there is an exception because the second one is disposed and can't get the focuse. I know it is weird but I need it. Help anyone Thanks Don't dispose it. Just do textbox.Hide().... Edit #1: Or actually, you could put the focus back onto the first textbox before disposing the second Ex. textBox1.Focus();       textBox2.Dispose(); ...Show All

• Visual C++ Convert char* to wchar_t*

  I'm developing a C program. I want to convert char string to wchar_t string. I know there is a function in the C99. But I don't want to use that. Is there is a function in the win32 api to do this   Viorel. wrote: (I do not think modern conversion macros always allocate the strings on the stack. Only short results are kept on stack into a pre-allocated buffer. In my opinion longer strings are allocated on the heap, in the same manner as it is done today in case of std::string class.) in vain: For 2005: #define A2W(lpa) (\ ((_lpa = lpa) == NULL) NULL : (\ _convert = (lstrlenA(_lpa)+1),\ (INT_MAX/2<_convert) NULL : \ ATLA2WHELPER((LPWSTR) alloca (_convert* sizeof (WCHAR)), _lpa, _con ...Show All

• Windows Forms executing SQL query in C#

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) June CTP Exception reading GroupBox Template

  If I do this: StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder (); using ( TextWriter writer = new StringWriter (sb)) { GroupBox aGroupBox = new GroupBox (); System.Windows.Markup. XamlWriter .Save(aGroupBox.Template, writer); string test = sb.ToString(); } My app bombs a short time later. The Stack shows it crashed at BamlRecordReader.ReadRecord. This also crashes EID June CTP. Any ideas for extracting templates I got that template after adding the control to a grid, however just after I got the template my app bombed. If you use that template you will find that the GroupBox has no border, and the text is blue. Here's the o ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies xp files & transfer settings problem

  Hi, I had a problem with my PC and I basically had to reformat and then reinstall xp and the other pre-installed software. I used the files and transfer settings wizard to copy my stuff onto the desktop. I then burnt the dat files onto 3 dvds ready to transfer after the computer was reformatted etc. Anyway, the reformat and reinstallation was all smooth. I opened up the transfer files & settings to copy the old stuff to my new pc. However it keeps coming up with the following: "The location you specified does not contain stored information. Please type a valid path into the edit box. If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive." I have tried copying the files into the USMT. ...Show All

• SQL Server Extract Exchange 2003 data

  I have searched everywhere for an answer and seems I am either blind or there is no simple solution. Basically I have a need to report on data stored in an Exchange 2003 data store. There is mention of a OLE DB for Exchange 2000 but nothing for Exchange 2003. For example, A company report on time spent on various categories in a staff's calendar, etc. I would like to use SQl 2005 SSIS to extract and reporting services to report. Why is this so difficult I come from a Lotus Notes / Domino background and there are numerous articles and ways to do this Please can some MS guru please give me some direction on where to look Cheers Damien Frank, Once again this artile is date 2005 and yet still only me ...Show All

• Visual C# An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property

• Visual Studio Team System External link to Shelveset properties dialog

  Hello, We're using shelvesets for peer code reviews, and it would be useful to be able to launch the ShelveSet dialog for a specified shelveset name & owner in Team Explorer from an external program (preferably from just a hyperlink). Is this possible without creating lots of extra coding Unfortunately, there's an oversight in V1 where unshelve assumes you're going to actually unshelve it into a workspace and requires that you run from an existing workspace mapped location (you can't specify /server or /workspace). The same appeasr to be true for the "other" option of "tfpt review" (which is made more for code reviews) The URI links (vstfs:///) are handled specifically in VS, we ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Accessing POOM from C#

  Using C# in Visual Studio 2003 .Net I'm trying to access the POOM Contacts list. Long ago I built a simple program with eVB to do something similar but after reading dozens of links I still can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone shed some light Robert W. Vancouver, BC Should there be ”much simpler way”, there will be no 3rd party toolkit, right But you are correct, there’s a way but only on WM 5.0. So, you have these options: Drop support for older devices (pre WM 5.0), upgrade to VS 2005 and use WM 5.0 features. Purchase 3 rd party toolkit, it should work on all devices but you probably want to verify that with manufacturer. Code everything yourself. ...Show All
