• Visual Studio Express Editions WebBrowser Control, Posting form variables?

  Recently I've been playing with screen scraping and crawling using VB Express and I love it. It took me a couple of days of adapting to the environment and syntax to have a nice interface on things I would usually do in Perl from the command line, or php if I wanted it to be quick, dirty, and public. The RegEx stuff works very nicely. The problem I'm having is figuring out how to use the WebBrowser control to post data successfully. What I would like is to have pairs of text boxes and take these strings and convert them into post-able form variable=data. The interface works easily enough if the for uses Get... it just appends to the URL. But posting it uses a data type that I don't understand. I have read this article http://support. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Many Threads Logging to Same File(?)

  Hello All, I am trying to figure out a way for many threads in my app to log to a single logfile. Here are the details... a. I instantiate a client class for each incoming socket connection... service the connection then log the result. b. I am using a User Selectable Threadpool ranging from 1-10 threads c. The string being written is very short (about 90 bytes) Problem is the debugger throws an IO Exception "The process cannot access the file ... because it is being used by another process" This problem doesnt seem to appear in the "Release" Application, only when in the debugger. I have tried several methods of reducing the contention for the file but they dont seem to work... I have tried the fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Document explorer favorites

  Hi guys =) Anyone knows where document explorer stores it's favorites links I bookmarked them in the document explorer which comes with .Net SDK 2.0 (not in VS2005) & need to backup. Thank you.

• Visual Studio Team System "unable to determine the workspace" error

  I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue as well. I have been working on a new Build Type for one of our projects and finally had everything completed and running fine. Last night after several tests I went to the Source Control Explorer (using Team Foundation Server) and renamed the Build Type. I checked everything in and went home. This morning some initial <Exec tf.exe get operations were failing with the error: 'Unable to determine workspace." I couldn't figure it out and spent quite a bit of time investigating the issue to no avail, everything seemed to be fine, plus it was working last night with no changes besides the Build Type rename. I finally renamed the Build Type back to its orignal name and ever ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C++ Express drawing commands?

  A long time ago I used VB and was able to show relative values using rectangle shapes on my form. I've installed VC++ Express and am excited about using C, something that I work with on other target systems. I've successfully written some forms programs and command console programs. I cannot figure out how to draw simple shapes on the form that might vary in size according to data values. Searching through help gives me a code snippet under "Draw shapes" but I can't get the code to compile no matter what I do - I'm not even sure if it is written in C (I get errors on the word "protected", Form1, and several other items). Where would the code go to get it to run "See also" items get me no where. Perhaps there ...Show All
