• Visual C# Creating an array of bitArray

  Hi, I want to create an array of BitArray(i.e. BitArray[]) and with each BitArray having a size of n.

In this manner, my complexity will be ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do you direct 'PrintPreviewDialog1' print output to 'PrintDialog1.ShowDialog'

  My PrintPreviewDialog1 works fine, also my PrintDialog1 where I can specify the usual printer, copies etc. and work with the result to access eg. the Copies. However - the PrintPreviewDialog1 'Print' button simply prints one copy to the default printer ... how do I set this button to link to PrintDialog1 instead The usual If PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog = (the items available) then ..... etc. doesn't intercept if the user has clicked the Print button, this action just fires-up the print routine direct. Any clues Nick B What you describe sounds like the mouse is captured by the "Print" button in the preview control. You can't get to that button to cancel the capture. A work-ar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions allow drag drop on a bmp on form

  I set an image on the form (no picturebox or panel) and can draw on it with mouse. I wanted to be able to drag and drop an arrow onto the bmp also. The source is on the form and this seems to be ok. but setting the bmp as the drop target is escaping me. I cant seem to allow it to be a drop target. So am trying to create a target (uxtarget) and assig that to the bmp. this isnt working either. have tried multiple ways and cants eem get it to work. here is the portion ealing with target. Should I just instead use a panel or picturebox. I thought just using the form would be easier. Didnt realise the trouble assigning a bmp aws a drop target.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why have case sensitivity in a language?

  I started learning VB 2005 at first but then decided that for what I wish to do, C# was a better fit. I'm new to programming and when I discocvered that C# is a case-sensitive language, I couldn't think of any reasons why this should be the case. Surely case-sensitivity raises the chances of subtle problems in code due to mis-spelled variables, function names etc So why not do away with case-sensitivity if this is all it brings Or is there some, as yet unexplained, reason for case-sensitivuty in a language that I haven't come across in my learning process yet - Seef Hi, What ahmedilyas is saying is spot on, but me being a beginner myself I thought I might be able to add a little bit more to th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista "Error binding to target method." in Activity.Clone ??

  We have a workflow with a while loop which is failing in the attempt to clone the contained SequenceActivity. It appears to be failing to FixUp the references to CodeActivity event handlers and CodeCondition event handlers. I can also reproduce the failure by Activity.Save() to memory stream followed by Activity.Load(). The only difference I see between the development environment where it works, and the server where it fails, is that .NET 1.1 and .NET 1.1 Hotfix were never installed on the server. John West Starz/Encore Not using xoml.. I reduced it down to a few custom activities and it worked. I added a single Code activity and it failed. It seems to be having a problem fixing u ...Show All
