• Visual Studio Express Editions adding new lines in richtextbox

  Hi, firstly sorry to ask such a newbish question. I've been searching for about an hour and can't find an answer to this. I'm very new to VB (I've been using it for about 3 hours). I have a ListBox which I use as a menu. Depending on what is highlighted in the list box I want the text in my richtextbox to change. I have this bit working fine but I can't seem to make the richtextbox take a new line when I want it to. The closest solution I've found is something about using /nl or \nl or something like that but try as I might I can't get it to work. Here is an example of my code. Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou. Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Disposing Resources?

  Hi, I've been working on a few game components in my XNA project but I've become curious what is the correct way to dispose of resources that the component loads I load these resources either in LoadGraphicsContent or a load method of my own, but when the component is disposed, UnloadGraphicsContent is not called. I assume UnloadGraphicsContent is only called when the graphics device is reset. Now, the question is, where to I dispose my resources (spritebatch, textures, IO streams) - in the Disposed event If so, how can I detect whether the class is disposed and throw ObjectDisposedExceptions when a public member handling a resource is attempted to be accessed Thanks in advance for any help...

• Visual C# ReportGeneration Application

  I have to create a web app. that prints out the statistics for student applicants in a .txt file. The data in form of Tables resides in a SQL server. Now, the user provides a date range(for eg. from 12/1/2006 to 1/1/2007) and the outputted text file will have the following: - The Number of applications received - The number of applications approved - Number of students with a criminal background and the type of background - Number of applicants who applied last year. I was wondering that from a design standpoint, what would be an elegant and effecient way to extract the data from the server, store it in some kind of data structure and output the contents in a text file.

• Visual C# can't create delegate

  hello, I'm creating a user control used in IE. For the security permissions, I use the signed code from one of hte dlls I made and signed. When I try to run the control, I get a MethodAccessException, and the problem comes up in delegates from a third party's dlls. Changing the security permissions to give Full Trust to all code (not a long-term solution possibility), it works. Does anyone know why this could be happening thanks for any help "This exception is typically thrown when the access level of a method in a class library is changed, and one or more assemblies referencing the library have not been recompiled."

• SQL Server Transaction Lockout of Reads

  Hi, I have been seeing a basic scenario of a write transaction appearing to unexpectedly lock-out reading. The database has isolation set to "READ COMMITTED". The scenario is: 1.) Start a transaction (for doing a write) 2.) Do a read before the transaction (for doing the write) is committed (e.g. sqlCommand2.ExecuteReader()). --> the code will appear to lock-up (then time out). I see the same behavior if I step through the "write" code with the debugger (to a point after the transaction is started, but before it is committed), and run a "SELECT * FROM" type query from Microsoft SqlServer Management Studio. Following is the code sample demonstates the issue. Thoughts on how to r ...Show All

• .NET Development HELP: DllNotFoundException when calling an unmanaged dll via web service

  Hi, I am developing a Web service in VS2005 and keep getting the exception DllNotFoundException: Unable to load Dll 'myunmaged.dll': exception from HRESULT: 0xE06D7363. Basically, the web service calls a C# wrapper of an unmanaged Dll written in C++.

I have made sure that the ASPNET account on my machine have access permissions to these directories. Further info, my machine is running XP Pro with SP2. Please help. I'm getting de ...Show All
