• Visual Basic Failed to import ActiveX control

  I am using VB2005 express and VC#2005 express.

Thanks and regards. Syed Mazhar Hasan I have alwats the same problem , i ...Show All

• Visual C# Running two services in same VSTS project

  Hello... I have created two c# windows services in the same VSTS project. They each have their own installers, and installs fine in the windows service list. I have attached a debugger to the main(), here is the code: static void Main(string[] args) { ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun; // More than one user Service may run within the same process. To add // another service to this process, change the following line to // create a second service object.

• Visual C# Returning Type[] of inherited types

  Does anyone know of a quick and painless way of returning an array of all the inherited Types of a given base class For instance, I have the following: Type myType = typeof(Motors.Motor); Type[] t = myType.GetNestedTypes(); Motor contains many different types of Motors. I understand that GetNestedTypes only returns the classes nested inside of Motor. All I need is a basic method that returns an array of the types which inherit from Motor. I can write this method myself with very little coding, but I figured there had to be something out there that already did this. I'm a little confused.... how does having a method to do this for us go against OO design Either way, I'm not too worried about the speed, beca ...Show All

• Visual C# Button Madness (one of many posts to come)

  I know I should have been more descriptive in the subject, but the question is too long to fit. I'm trying to make a charicter creation application for a RPG. I want to have it so that when a person clicks the + button (button2), it will subtract one for the remaining points which is displayed in label20, add it to the Strength score (int Str) and then display the modified Strength in label11. Next, I have a subtract button (button10) that does the same but adds one to the remaining points and subtracts 1 from the Strength score (int Str) and displayes the remaining points and Strength in thier appropriate label boxes. To complicate matters worse, I have to 1: have to do this for 7 other stats, which none of them can go lower than ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions HELP - Lost default browser

  Please Help. Running Visual Studio 2005 Express - and it's great. All was running fine. It was using Mozilla as the default browser. I have replaced Mozilla - the Debugger still tries to start Mozilla and gets in trouble (can't find the file - it's gone). I have used the new browser FireFox to re-set the system default browser to FireFox -but- the VWD-2005-Express still tries to start the old Mozilla browser..... How can I tell Visual Studio 2005 Express to start the now current default browser FireFox Thanks in advance, Paul Since you've renamed your browser, etc in your previous post, this may or may not work for you. You may have to (and I would recommend) reversing the steps you took. I can post scree ...Show All

• Windows Forms User control with some parts drawn translucent

  Hi, everyone! I'd really like to hear (or read ;)) some help on solving my problem. I want to create a custom user control. I'd probably derive it from Control class, I want to draw everything on the control by myself (it's actually not going to be really complicated). The problem is that I want to draw some kind of a shadow that drops onto the background of this control. Obviously, it has to be translucent. And I would maybe make some other parts of the control translucent. So I tried to draw the shadow using brush colored as Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Gray), for example. I do my drawing in overridden OnPaint method. This did NOT work. I started to look for the solution on the web. Everything I found was one method of creating such a beha ...Show All

• SQL Server Basic business rules question

  How do you represent business rules in SQL Server I need the database to return an error to a .net app if a business rule fails. Thank you! :) If you can use constraints then you should because they're more optimal in performance (I think) - and you can use user-defined functions in the constraints to have fairly complex logic. But if not (because the rules are elaborate) I don't see what's wrong with triggers - they are a standard way of enforcing business rules. What negative things did you hear ...Show All
