• Visual Basic Write text files from a directory on a Windows machine to a directory on an AIX server

  Hello all,   Using VB.Net 2005, is it possible to write text files from a directory on a Windows machine to a directory on an AIX server Can you provide any code Thanks Or why not simply create the file locally and then use the My .Computer.Network.UploadFile which takes two parameters a filename and a URL - which allows you to copy files to network locations such as FTP servers. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Irritating Flicker Upon Startup

  I've built a WinForms app in C#. The basic startup screen is similar to that of MS Word, albeit with a gradient blue background. I just added a Splash screen. It runs on a separate thread and simply displays a borderless form at the center of the screen. It fades in, the main screen appears behind it, and it fades out, leaving the main screen. That's all fine. But what's not is that the main screen now has an irritating flicker of sorts when it appears with the Splash screen in front of it. It never used to do this. What's causing this and how can I prevent it from happening Robert Werner http://PocketPollster.com Hmmm, interesting ideas folks. I first tried the 0.99 method but unfortunately this didn't f ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Today Screen Item with WebService possible?

  I have created a Today Screen Item application. It works fine. Right now it simply adds a string of text and an icon to the Today Screen. But the goal is to access data from the internet to display in this Today Item. Coming from the manage code world I thought using a WebService would be much easier than coming up with the native code to connect and access the data from the web. I gave that a try I can add the WebService and call it from my code. But it will only compile if I I add the following definition: _CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MTA Otherwise I get the following compilation error: fatal error C1189: #error : atlsoap.h requires Windows CE platform to have DCOM support or _CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MT ...Show All

• Visual C# ToShortDateString format

  Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()); This line prints: 03/01/02007 Why In Regional and Language Options dialog on my computer I see: Short date: 03/01/2007 It is set to English (United States). But short date is set to dd/mm/yyyy - possibly I changed this, I don't remember.

• Gadgets Maximum size of settings window?

  Is there a limit to how large the settings dialog can be displayed as Anything in the CSS that's bigger than about 400 by 300 currently doesn't get displayed, it just gets cropped to that. Well the content of the dialog is displayed still but it goes off the limits of the dialog... Is this the case, or am I missing a meta-setting which is over-riding my style sheet or setting the wrong element (I'm setting the size of <body>) Chris Or if you want to dynamically change the contents of the window, such as taking settings options from an XML file! Well at least it's not just me and so I can look to work around it now I know it exists. Chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms send a scroll down message to listbox using mousewheel, but listbox doesn't have focus

  How can scroll a listbox when mousewheel is moving, but this listbox doesn't have focus. in other words, no matter which control have the focus in the form, everytime i use the mousewheel I want to scroll the listbox. thanks in advance for your help Edward I'm not positive, but the code below should send a mousewheel event to a given control.

• Visual C# Inherited interface properties behaving differently in VS2005

  I’m upgrading a large project from VS2003 to VS2005, and have run into a change in the C# language behavior that I’m trying to explain. The following sample code works fine in VS2003, causes an infinite loop/stack overflow in VS2005. I'll grant that this design is evil (basically it is using explicit interface implementation to allow a property to behave differently depending on if it is called via the interface.). What I'm wondering is why the compiler's behavior has been changed, and whether there is any documentation on the change. Has anyone else run into this Thanks, Robert Just so this does not disappear into the ether ...I tested the code on 2005 and received the same results. I found the results interesting to say the least, if ...Show All

• Gadgets Request non-XML data via Web.Network.createRequest

  Hello all, First off, good to see that gadget development forum on MSDN. Anyway, what I am posting for is this: I'm trying to request normal plain text data (in non XML format) via the Web.Network.createRequest method. However, I can not find a Web.Network.Type type that represents regular data. I've tried XML, which responds with an "invalid xml" in the body of the response, and Stream throws an exception somewhere about not being able to load the target object. I haven't tried Script, CSS, Image, etc. but that probably won't work either because they are for specific purposes. Is there a way to make it do cross-domain requests for regular, plain text data, or Is there some sort of bug in the proxy for Spaces, perh ...Show All
