Thanks in advance Thanks Chandu.Sanka The size on disk is returned by the FileInfo object or the StreamReader base object length property- it will get the value on how many bytes are available to read for that file as its true value. I'm curious why you need the other property (Size on disk) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Win32 application error

    I'm trying to install Security Update for Internet Explorer (832894).  When I go to run the program I get the error message update\update.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.  What can I do to run this without this error message coming up   Is there a particular update I need to install or change any setting on my pc   There is really no telling but I can only assume that you are a person that would be considered aid.

• Windows Forms How to get or read the last letter from a text box? - Vb.net or VS 2005

  Hi I have a TextBox in a windows form to enter 10 digit number followed by 2 letters. (Ex: 304528929 GH ) I have a code (got from my other thread) to calculate the total of the above digits(3+0+4+....) and dividing the total by someother value to get the reminder . IT ALL WORKS FINE Also I have list of alphabets with equivalant value like below A = 3 B = 7 C = 1 H = 12 ........ ........ Z = 22 My question: If the reminder matches one of the above list , for example reminder from the above calculation is 12. So it matches with H = 12 . So If H is the last letter of 304528929 GH , then the user input is right. In Short : HOW DO I GET THE LAST LETTER (ex. 'H' in the above case) From the textbox and check w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Abstract UserControl?

  Hi I have four UserControls that inherit from another UserControl, A. These 4 user controls contain a Label + another Control (LabelTextBox for instance). (The Label control is located in A (contains only this control)) All four controls have a method IsInputCorrect(). (This method also sets the background to red if input is not correct) I want to have this method abstract in A. But's that not possible because I can not set A as abstract. (The designer complains). If I set it to "virtual" in A, I need to implement the body. But this isn't really ok, because I dont have any input in A to check. The thing is that I want to do: // Check if fields are correctly filled in. // And focus the first incorrect one. private void CheckAl ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Where is WM5 project type in VS2005?

  I have seen several references to selecting Windows Mobile 5 as the project type when creating a project for that type of unit. Under Smart Devices, my VS2005 (standard) has 2003 PocketPC, 2003 Smartphone and Windows CE 5.0, which as I understand it is not WM5. I have also downloaded and installed SP1 which takes forever for me but it did complete just fine - the choices for smart device projects are the same Perhaps I just don't understand but if I want to target my new IPAQ 2495b with WM5, then that's what I want to select - just like it's mentioned. Thanks Unfortunately, that did not work. I still have PPC 2003, Smartphone 2003, and Windows CE 5.0 as the Project types. I installed the Windo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Workbook.save() not behaving as expected.

  I have a VSTO 2005 SE add-in for excel in which I need to programatically save the document on an event. When I tried workbook.save() to accomplish this the workbook gets saved with its temporary name eg "Book1.xlsx" in My Documents and doesnt pop-up a save as dialogue even with a document which is previously unsaved. I tried this with a word document and there the behaviour was as expected ie. it shows a save-as dialogue for a fresh document and doesn't when the document has been previously saved. Is there a workaround to avoid this behaviour As a crude workaround I wrote the following code. string path = workbook .Path; if ( String .IsNullOrEmpty(path)) { SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog (); ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I protect my code when distributing it?

  Having read the FAQ. I noticed that in order to share your game creations (and lets face it, you can't get recognised without sharing your games), you need to send the other person the entire uncompiled game. This includes sourcecode, graphics, music, sound etc. etc. They then compile the code and download it to their xbox360 account and then only if they too are on the games creation program. My key worry here is that you send them everything you have just worked incredibly hard to create. Presumably they can then send this stuff on to whoever they please and god forbid, even sell it on! It strikes me that there isn't much incentive to distribute things this way. How is Microsoft going to prevent the above scenario Is there going to be a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing for diferent config files

  I have some code that should throw some exceptions if config file is not written correctly. To test this I need to have different config files for different tests. Is it posible to do Thanks. Hmmm I have use something to simulate different config files, is not production code as it haven't been test enough, and I think I read something about any other option easier. For having different config files, you should execute your code in new application domain, as config files belongs to the application domain, but it can't be changed once the app domain is started, so I use some .NET code from Reflection, which allows to create new AppDomain, main properties of it I copied from the actual AppDomain, b ...Show All
