• Visual Basic Can I set userscale of picbox, like possible in VB6?

  Dear all, it used to be possible in VB6 to define picboxes as carthusian axis crosses with user-defineable min and max for both X and Y direction. With the advantage that you can draw on them just as you would do in math. I am trying: Imports System.Drawing Public Class Form1 Dim g As Graphics Private Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me .Load g = PicBox.CreateGraphics() End Sub Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim a(5000) As System.Drawing.Point 'points are paired numbers: a.X and a.Y Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To 5 ...Show All

• .NET Development Uri: getting everything but the filename

  Argh! Is there a way to get everything but the filename with Uri Sure, I can just remove everything after the last /, but I was wondering if it's already built in. I can't seem to do that with Uri.GetComponents(), which would seem like the perfect candidate. Similar to Path.GetDirectoryName(), but for URI's. Uri link = new Uri ( @"http://www.somesite.com/someDir/someDir/someFile.html" ); Console .WriteLine( Path .GetDirectoryName(link.ToString())); ...Show All

• Visual Basic Implicit ReDim - Is this a bug ?

  No cracks about the 'bug' is sitting at the keyboard Try this: <Code> Sub Test Dim a(0 To 9, 0 To 5) As String a = FuncX() End Sub Function FuncX() as String(,) Dim Ret(0 To 4, 0 To 5) as String < Code to fill Ret > FunctX = Ret End Function <\Code> When you check 'a' in Test, it has been redefined as Ret: i.e. (0 to 4, 0 to 5) No compile warning ... although I can see where it might be hard to checks this. No Runtime error - except when I try to use 'a' with the full dimensions. Is this a bug or is it intentional and I'm missing something (other than my mind for such poor code consistency).

• Visual Basic Efficient programming of repeating tasks. Possible?

  Dear all, I have a form with picturebox (picInput1) and a number (say, 20) of radiobuttons rbLut1...rbLut20 that, when clicked, will impose 20 different LookUpTables (LUTs, or palettes) onto that picturebox. Luts are derived from other picture boxes that exist: lut0....Lut20. What I made (see below) works but it is typing-inefficient AND I don't like it because it is not elegant: '***Start current code:------------------------------------------------------- Private fyCurrentLut As String = "Lut1" Public Sub rbLut0_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.EventArgs) Handles rbLut0.CheckedChanged, rbLut1.CheckedChanged, _ rbLut2.CheckedChanged, ............ rbLut20.CheckedChanged 'KJ aug 2006.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is there automatic reloading and executing when recovering from a crash?

  Hi This may be a stupid question but I really need to know what to do in this case. I'm developing a state machine workflow, I have an EventDrivenActivity with a TransactionScopeAcitivty in which I have activities to save to my data model. If something goes horribly wrong after the persistence point on the close of the TransactionScopeActivity before the persistence on idle (I have this set). Can I expect that when the outside factors are resolved the runtime will take care of reloading this partially complete EventDrivenActivity automatically and finish exection from after the TransactionScopeActivty. Or... am I going to need to somehow check for this situation and load the workflow instance to have it continue exection Any help wo ...Show All

• Visual C# Convert string to operation

  Hi! Is it possible to convert strings to operations in a relatively simple way For example convert this string: string OperationInString = "3+3+9"; somehow, so I get back "15". Thanks in advance. ;) Code generation is not as difficult as it appears at first. If you want to customize the code later or extend the class or the method that is generated, e.g. by adding parameters, it also makes sense to take a look at the actual code that it compiled. If you want to do so, just at this peace of code before the comment "//check for errors": using (System.IO. StringWriter stringWriter = new System.IO. StringWriter ()) {   provider.GenerateCodeFromCompileUnit( ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to select single combobox in a panel or groupbox?
