• Visual Basic Filemapping

  Hello, just tried to create a new filemapping, and i did everything like the examlpe in the msdn-library but it just dont work: althougt I am sure the file is created, because the Function "createFileMapping" returns a handle I can work with afterwards, the function "OpenFileMapping" always returns zero. And the Err-Function returns "2", that means "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" The problem is, that I have to open the filemappingobject fram another program, the "openFileMapping" function is therefore necessary. Please tell me my mistake if you find it. Thanks [Code] Private Const STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED = &HF0000 Private Const INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE = -1 Private Const PAGE_READ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Feature Request: Sql Data Compare-limit what is compared by table

  CTP5 is great! As a developer, I am excited about the new MSBuild functionality. This will allow us to update our developer DB after each stage build. However the data compare piece does not appear to have the ability to limit what is compared/updated on a table level (i.e only compare/update Users with age>40). Perhaps a bad example, but when your stage DB is 15GB, it would be great to be able to pull down a sub set of your larger tables to your Dev environment. Typically we only want to pull down data related to specific User Sets (ie. Users in specific companies etc.). Point well taken that we don't offer any filtering of data compare as you have expressed in your example, but you may look into ...Show All

• Visual Basic Master-Detail User Input Form...

  Hi, I am quite new to VB in general. I am trying to build a database application using Access tables and create a user interface for it using VB2005.

• Visual Studio Team System Changes are not shown in the Form

  In my application I do a change of some WorkItem fields. Via the Team Explorer in Visual Studio I want so see the changes of the WorkItem fields. When I select the WorkItem the changes in the Form are not shown.

• .NET Development XmlDocument

  Hi, I need to create an XML document in VB.NET to include the type of the element as this will be used by another process once I have created and exported the XML file e.g. <IDField type="asn1:INTEGER">3</IDField> Is it possible to do this, I have looked at XmlTextWriter as a method for creating the XML document within VB, but can't see an option to include this information. If I load in an XML document that already has this information in it then it is retained internally and is present when I export the document again. Any help appreciated, Dave Thanks for that Martin, as you can probably tell, I'm quite new to handling XML in .NET I ended up with the following, which seems to give me what I want Dim w ...Show All

• .NET Development Is there a better way of coding this RegEx ?

  I need to run verification on SSN's read from a file sent to us by our users. We cannot process any records that with an SSN that has all zeroes, ones, twos, threes, ... etc. I have completed the below RegEx that catches all invalid SSN's up to a point and then began wondering if another way might be better I'm just learning Regex and this has me stumped. The code below is what I came up with and works, but to me it is way too long; or is my "newness" showing thru and this is the only way to code this private Regex regexSSN = new Regex ( @"( !000)( !111)( !222)( !333)[0-9]{3}\- \s " + @"( !00)( !1)( !22)( !33)[0-9]{2}\- \s " + @"( !0000)( !1111)( !2222)( !3333)[0-9]{4}" , ( RegexOptions .

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta

  I would like to know exactly what “ Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta” updates. Most importantly does it update the framework If someone could point me in the direction of a specification I would be most grateful. There is no exact specification of what the service pack contains for all products to which it updates. As Ahmedilyas mentioned, it doesn't update the .NET framework and therefore does not update C#, VB.NET, JScript, or J# compilers. The service pack's release notes list some of the bug fixes and the C++ and TFS teams have posted some of changes that have gone into the service pack here: http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2006/06/22/643325.aspx , http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archiv ...Show All
