• Visual Studio Express Editions Copy image/graphic from panel/drawing surface to richtextbox

  I have the following code which allows freehand drawing using a mouse. It uses a panel as drawing surface. I will add the ability to load background images on the panel so can draw on that bmp. Now after all the drawing, I want to ensure its one image, a bmp, copy to clipboard then paste it into a richtextbox on another form in the program. Now attempting this I have tried several approaches. None have worked at all. The online tutorials or samples to study I can find are many years old and many version of basic ago. None work of course. Here is my base code for drawing. Any advice, or directing me to a tutorial, sample, or a reference book would be greatly appreciated. From what I read, this should work. There wa ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to deal with file system permissions when recursing file system

  I am working on a module for an app the recurses the file system. As the program recurses the "C:\" drive I get the follow exception System.UnauthorizedAccessException was caught Message="Access to the path 'C:\System Volume Information' is denied."

• Windows Forms Just-In-Time debugging Windows Forms

  Hello, In the MSDN documentation (How to: Enable Just-In-Time Debugging for Windows Forms) it is said: In addition, Windows Forms created with C++ must have the DebuggableAttribute set in a .config file or within their code. It is well ducumented how to put the DebuggableAttributein the code, but I found nowhere how to set it in de .config file. How do you set this attribute in the .config file Or is it an error in the documentation Thank you for your help, JF Hogue I believe all you need to do is follow the instructions for step #1. Set the jitDebugging value in the machine.config or application.exe.config file, located in the system.windows.forms section to true . For exampl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question of build?

  Hi, I have this scenario, I have some Team Project called "W" I did some branch of code from W version 1.1, so, I want to know if I run or build my Branch Project this automatically takes all componets from the base project in this case "W" My branch project have only for expample the version 1.2 so what happens when I build my branch project The whole purpose of branching is to create isolation. When you create a branch, a copy of the source code at that level will be created in the branch and both will be isolated from each other. So, I think when you build branch the original branch (trunk) source code will not be built. In fact you can continue separate development in both the branches. That is how you can have bug-fixes in or ...Show All

• Windows Forms High level of control over PDF documents

  Hi I’m creating a very professional Windows form App news reader. Now that I discover that make pagination with HTML controlling each version of the client browser is a torture. I want to use PDF format to deliver my documents. I don’t want the clients to have Acrobat reader installed on their machines (40MB in memory when is up) but I need a powerful control of the printing PDF experience I’m going to allow user to print documents in two ways: 1. They look at the document inside a form and print it if they want (I guess I need a reader or a plug in developed by myself) 2. The application print unattended some document pre-programmed (without showing the document) 3. I also want to control printing ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7/Vista - WebBrowser control embedded in toolbar's dialog opening new window.

  In a dialog box for a toolbar's UI (a preference dialog) I have an embedded WebBrowser control which displays a local URL. In IE7 on XP SP2 everything is beautiful. When running IE on Vista RC2 with protected mode on, navigating the WebBrowser control causes a new IE window to open, with protected mode off, which then navigates to the correct local URL. With protected mode off in the first place, everything works as expected (meaning the control navigates and doesn't open a new window). I'm at a bit of a loss how to correct this. For what its worth, currently the control is created via: ::CreateWindow(_T("AtlAxWin"), _T("about:blank"), ..... ) Anyone Anyone Bueller In Vista Protected ...Show All

• Visual Basic finding a certain process

  i'm wondering how to find a particular process that is associated with a certain folder. My issue is that In my program when I go to delete a folder that I have created for a temporary workplace I use Directory.Delete(tempPath, True) to recursively delete the folder and all of its sub-folders and files. But sometimes I get an exception stating: "The process cannot access the file "C:\temp\compress\dest2\0\source\2006.9.22_28" because it is being used by another process." i can see through other tools that process 1932 is associated with that lock, but how can I find that out through code and kill that process Dim procs As Process() = Process.GetProcesses Dim theproc As Process For Each theproc In procs thepr ...Show All

• SQL Server Line feed problem in HTML

  I'm using a string in report which contains chr(10) -> Line feed characters. They show up correctly (there are several lines) in Preview screen and in pdf-format but NOT in browser. I think the browser doesn't understand those characters. Is there a way to replace them somehow with other useful keys If there is an example would be great... I use the equivalent of the old vbCrLf i.e. carriage return followed by a line feed, and this works fine in the HTML. Try using Chr(13) & Chr(10) or the .NET property Environment.NewLine. For formatting in SQL I use CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) ...Show All
