• Visual Basic MAKING .NET CONTROLS - OCX VB6 COMPLIANT

  Hi all, I have to create a .NET control. It have to run in a vb6 app. I'd like to use it like a standard OCX control. I've found in the net that it's possible. there's anyone who can tell me in which way I can do it It's simple: have a .net control and import it in a VB6 controls list by "add control". and have it working right. Dario TIA for any suggestion! Hi Toddap_MS, I tried that sample code (i.e. compiled it etc.) on one PC but now want to try it now on another PC. I can't register it as you would a VB6 control. However it's obviously not as simple as just copying the dll over either. What's the best way of porting this these .Net controls around Thanks for ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Any future for input controls?

  I haven't seen a list of planned features for WPF/E but are there any plans to add input controls such as a textbox (and textarea type control), button, dropdown, etc. I know that gets into a whole different realm but I think to truly make WPF/E something capable of more than just fancy animations (which I admit I like), having input capabilities is necessary. Some very cool data entry forms could be built that handle validation, etc. in creative ways. Imagine a textbox shaking for instance (a mini textbox earthquake) when it contains invalid data. Or, correct textboxes could be faded out bringing the incorrect ones to the forefront so the user could see them better. Fly in a dropdown list containing car models once a manufacturer has ...Show All

• Visual Studio Which add-in event I have to place code to?

  Hi, I have created a very simple add-in for Visual Studio 2005 written in VB 2005. This simple add-in shows an inputbox to get a number and then shows some math calculations on that number. But since I'm very new to add-ins, I have a problem. Where is the correct add-in event where I have to put this code to In every case I tried the inputbox gets shown when Visual Studio is starting, when I instead would like the add-in to be shown only if the user selects the newly created command in the Tools menu. Is that possible or do I have to get this add-in run at every Visual Studio starting At the moment I placed the code in the OnConnection event, before the End Sub statement, but I also tried the OnStartupComplete . Many tha ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with Nullable parameter passed by reference.

• Visual Basic data storage

  As posted in another thread, I'm planning to build an accounting program. I'm wondering what would be the best way to store the data, using databases or perhaps XML There will be over 50 administrations and several users. Would one database per administration be most efficient considering one administration will usually be accessed by one user at a time Using XML probably means smaller file sizes and therefore less network traffic, but databases offer more functionality. Anyone has experience with this Any help would be welcome. Regards, Eric Okay, I see what you are saying. I thnink you need to think about your overall goal. It may be that these businesses are the same (structure wise), but it may be e ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot generate SSPI context

  I have a SQL Server 2000 in a specific W2K server, that belongs to a domain that is administered by a W2003 server. There is a client that has a new computer with WXP in the same domain. It used to have an old machine with W2K pro. and with the same user it worked OK. When accesing SQL from the client with an Office2003 application via ODBC with windows authentication, after several minutes working OK, suddenly it gets this message: Conection error. SQL state: S1000 Cannot generate SSPI context. In the client I have executed cliconfg.exe and created a piped name protocol, but still it won't work. I resolved my issue by noticing that the Server Network Utility had a Port address of 1533 vers ...Show All

• Commerce Server Expression based export - BizTalk Adapter

  We need an expression based export of the Commerce Server Catalog for various feeds. These are from the same CS instance/web service endpoint, so I need to create different receive locations with different Expressions (the filter Products and Categories clause) - howevr they all must point to the same endpoint.
