• Visual C# Simple text to html parser

  Im trying to build a small application where you can copy text from word into a richtextbox it will then look for text written in bold, underline and if there are any bullets and simply put the text out in another box with the html tags. The way the program works it that is scan each word in each line and see if it's normal, bold, underline or if there is a bullet infront of the line. Right now it works with normal text and bold. How ever I cannot get it to detect when there is a bullet. some of the code: for ( int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++) //loop for each line in the text { string [] words = lines .Split(delimiterChars); richTextBox2.AppendText( "<p>" ); for ( int j = 0; j ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating an array of objects

  Alright, I feel like a doof for posting this, but I figure somebody here will be able to give me a quick response. I used to use Visual Basic 6.0 a few years back, and I remember you could create any object on your form, lets say for instance a Text Box. You could create two of those, give them the same name, the program would automatically create an array for you of that object, making it easy to create new text boxes @ run-time for your user if necessary. Or, for instance, I could add two labels to the form, and name them both Label, and so the first one I added would be reference-able by Label(0) (or maybe Label[0]) from the code, and the second and Label(1). The point being that I could create new labels and access them more easily ...Show All

• SQL Server Server: the operation has been cancelled. a memory bug?

  When I highlight a few partitions and start processing, the process occasionally stops with a message that operation has been canceled, like this: Response 3 Server: the operation has been cancelled. Response 4 Server: the operation has been cancelled. Response 5 Server: the operation has been cancelled. ..etc... (no further error message details are provided) SQL profiler shows that batch was completed (but rowcount shown in process progress log is too small). Analysis Services profiler shows no messages at that time at all. It just shows messages when it started, and when I restarted the processing. The Analysis trace appears to be stopped when processing stops with " Server: the operation has been cancelled.&quo ...Show All
