• Windows Forms caller Id

  I made a program that shows the number of the incomning call when caller id is available. For this i dowload an active-x that detects caller id. I use the model 5633 modem of US robotics. The problem is that the number is not always shown . Even when i make call from the same number it 's not always displayed on the screen. The developer of active-x told me that this is problem of modem or drivers. I updated the driver but the problem still remains. Does anyone knows any better PSTN modem that support caller Id in Greece and to show always the number. Sounds like it might be (I'm not at home where my modem is so I can't check). I get to it via Control Panel, Phone & Modems( ), then dbl-click on the mode ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Scan Engine Stops if I hold down the Trigger Key more than 3 Seconds

  I'm writing a tool in VB.Net 2003 for a dolphin 7900 which should scan a barcode and send it to a connected PC. If I scan a barcode within a second all works well. But if I hold down the trigger key for more then 3 seconds the scan engine stops and the only option I have is to restart the program after I had stopped it with the memory Icon in the settings of the dolphin 7900. Did anyone knows about this problem It is made using the SDKs from Handheld.com Here's the code for the scanner: In the load event: '----------------------------------------- Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load DecodeControl1.Connect() DecodeControl1.EnableSymbology(HHP.DataCollection.Decoding.Symbol ...Show All

• Visual C# Hiding a virtual function (if it can be done)

  Say you have a class with a public virtual funciton: public class A { public virtual void F() {...} } Now it happens that I have a subclass that I do not want F() to be exported. Using the C++ 'mode' of accomplishing it , i tried public class B: A { private override void F() {} } Compiler says: BAD. virtual function cannot be private. Next, try public class B: A { protected override void F() {} }; Also bad. Access modifier of a virtual function can't be altered. Next, try public class B: A { private new void F() {} }; Well, the compiler does not complain. But when F is called: B b = new B(); b.F(); // A's F() get called!!! My Questions are 1. Is there no way to hide a base class' public virtual function 2. If so, what is the rationale, ...Show All

  I installed VS 2005 Beta 2 on a WinXP pro system (numerous times). It finally installed without erreors. It looks like it is basically working - I can create a new windows project and add items from the toolbox, edit the code etc. If I open an existing project (created on another box) things load properly but I cannot open any forms in designer view (I can open them in code view).
