  On error resume next If err.number = (-2147467261) or err.number = 0 then open pdf file Response. End () Else response.write "another error" End If everytime it sees the error with that number or equal to 0 it will go open the pdf file. If there is any other error it should print out the else statment. Yet some how thatdoesnt work, if theres error like -2147467261 then it will bring the pdf up.

• Visual Studio Help: Visual Studio SP1 Installation Disk Space problem

  I've got two disks on my 2003 server. The primary disk is a miserly 12 GB, while the secondary is 120GB. I never expected that I'd have to install a patch that was half the size of the disk! THe most I seem to be able to free up on the primary disk is about 4GB, insufficient to allow me to install the VS 2005 SP. Does anyone know if there's a way to install this using the space available on the secondary disk Any insight would be appreciated. -rod You can set the user %TEMP% environment variable to point to a folder on your D:\ drive.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. General debugging problem in Direct3d

  Hello everyone, I am trying to create a general game map editor. Please take a look at the code below. Before going further I would like to fix some severe problems with the program. The problem is that while debugging the program I often (1 out of 3 times approximately) get different errors.

I ticked off use application framework and run the form class from sub main(). {chopped large chunk of code} Please take a look at my program and help me solve my problem. {chopped ever larger ...Show All

• Visual Basic Unsigned Arithmetic and overflows

  I've had this discussion before with unint64s. Setting what would normally be the sign bit causes an overflow. Now I'm seeing this in unint32s. Dim a As UInt32 = System.Drawing.Color.Black.ToArgb will cause and overflow. Dim a as Uint32 = now.ticks and &hFFFFFFFF will cause an overflow depending in the time. This should not be. What it means effectively is the UInt32 is actually UInt31. Yes, Dim a as uint32 = &h8FFFFFFF is not legal to the compiler, but this code is Dim a as uint32 = &h8FFFFFFFUI &h8fffffff is an Integer constant (that is -1879048193) and you cannot assign this value to an UInt32 because UInt32 are supposed to be in the range 0 to 2^32 - 1, and this value is negative. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tree View and Page Load

  Hi I have created a navigation menu with tree view which get data from Database. The tree built fine and the navigation url going the right place, but everytime I click on the link the childNodes added to the parentNode disappear. I have to click on the parentNode to see the childNodes again. Is there anyway that it can keep the state as it is so I don't need to click on the parent node to see the childNodes over and over Thank you. ...Show All

• Visual J# How do I get the separator + a more general question

  I have a textbox in which I enter numbers. I extract the individual strings and I would like to know how I can extract the specific separators. Also a more general question. If the processing of this text data would get more complicated how should I proceed So far as seen in the code example it's no problem doing everything inside the textbox change event function. For the moment the indata is supposed to be integers that are added up. But I would like to extend this so the specific arithmetic operations are performed and also that indata could be both integers and float numbers. What is the way to do it Here is my code example private void textBox1_TextChanged( Object sender, System . EventArgs e) { String str = textBo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't create VB code to test keystroke input with readkey.

  In all versions of basic I've used over the years, I've been able to use one of the following statements/functions; inkey$, inkey, key$, key or some such. In assembly I was able to choose from a number of keyboard interrupt functions and cmp the value in ah, al, or ax (dependent on int and func called) to either an integer or "string" value. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to use readkey in a conditional test, looking through the vast amount of help to no avail. So I tried multiple times to search msdn for "keyboard" (for example), but some unknown error is preventing my online search from the text box. Anyway, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me how to get input from the keyboard in such a way to en ...Show All

• Windows Forms Big data updates

  Hi All, I'm designing this student testing system. Some pages contain say 40 items: Each of which correspond to a combobox where a score of 1-5 may be entered. Each Q also has "question text". My initial plan was to just get all these params (the scores) and concatenate them into a string (the numbers only) and call a stored procedure, which would hold all of the other details in order. This way relies on the order of scores, which is fine by me. Example call (As an SQL command from C# Front, C# omitted): p_insertScoresForATest 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, 4, 3, 5, 4, 3, 2, 4, 5, 3, 2, 3 ...... In p_insertScoresForATest it knows to associate the first param with 'writing skills', the second with 'pencil co-ordination', etc. It ...Show All

• SQL Server Importing Access table into SQL Server 2005 Express table and adding one field

  Hi all, Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source control options - editing checked in files - options dont work?

  I have tried to set the source control options such that when editing a checked in file it is automatically checked but I have had no luck. I was not successful with the other options either such as prompt for check out. When I tried to edit a check in file the editor persisted in putting up the dialog box that asked if I wanted to edit in memory or make the file writable. When I checked the box that made it not come up, adjusting the source control options will no longer bring it up. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug With enough experimentation I have found that out. In addition it looks like the file in question must also be bound to the source control. And I agree with a previous post I ...Show All
