• Visual Basic Manipulating HTML control VB dot net 2.0

  I am working on an application that uses the HTML control to display "chat messages" sent by a server program. The control is currently defined with AllowNavigation false, IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled true, and URL defaults to about:blank. Currently, if part of the chat is a hyperlink, people are allowed to "right click and open in a new window" so that links can be gotten to. The input text that comes in is formatted in html, and the "<a href=" &SendersName & "/a>" so that value will be accessable under a custom context menu. Each chat line is also formatted with its own "<span.../span>" element. However, I believe that in order to make a custom menu, the intern ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development MSHTML based scraper

  Hi, I'm writing a web scraper toolkit in C++ which I'll be using to write several web scrapers. I decided to save myself some time by using MSHTML to parse pages, but I've run into a number of problems with it. I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum for this issue, but it's the closest I could find. Getting a single page in and parsing it is no problem. I can walk the DOM nicely and pick off whatever info I want. Pretty easy. (At least, after writing some wrappers for the otherwise laborious COM interfaces.) The problem is getting to the next page. If I do anything that would normally cause navigation, such as inducing a click on a link or submitting a form, it launches IE to browse the page interactively. According to MS ...Show All

• SQL Server Pessimistic locking

  I am attempting to try a pesimistic lock, meaning that i want to lock a row or table for a period of time and then relase it when i am done. To test this i wrote the following: SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ; BEGIN TRANsaction Select * From configurationitem WITH (ROWLOCK,xlock) where name = 'NextReceiptNumber' and category = 'AR'; Declare @i int set @i = 0 while @i < 300000 Begin print @i set @i = @i + 1 end COMMIT TRANsaction To test, while the above is looping i open another query window and select from the same table using the following: Select ConfigurationItemValue From configurationitem where ItemID = 418 This does not work because this query returns IMMEDIATELY.

• SQL Server Why is data mining use too little in business?

  Hello everybody,   There have been a lot of promising words around about data mining for (at least) the last decade. If one investigates how much data mining is applied in business, it can be concluded that this is rather limited. Currently I am investigating the possible causes of this limited data mining usage for my Master Thesis of Industrial Engineering and Management. This investigation includes a literature study and input a couple of experts from the data mining field.   Currently I want to check my results for two aspect with aid of other data mining practitioners:   Is my analysis of possible causes complete (iow: what is missing )   Are the identified causes recognized confirme ...Show All

• SQL Server Autoformat a table?

  Hi. I created an SSRS report awhile back and it had a very nice design to it. I vaguely remember choosing an autoformat style for it, so that it would have blue headers and grid lines, etc. For the life of me, I can't find that feature. Where do you do you select one of the predesigned styles to apply to a report Thanks. Thanks for the response. Can you change a template after a report has been created; in other words, can the template be changed after running the wizard Our users might want to go for a different look after they see a demo. Do we have to run the wizard again to use a different template I've looked everywhere in SSRS but can't see any place where the template can be changed -- other than to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rendering to a Texture?

  I tried to do a search but kept getting an error message. I was wondering if anyone had an example on how to render to a texture under XNA. Thx In order to write anything even remotely ambitious, you must have the ability to Debug what's going on with Direct3D underneath. You need: Visual Studio 2005 Professional. Turn on "Unmanaged Debugging" Use the Debug version of DirectX. If you have all this enabled, you should see very detailed information in the Output window whenever something goes wrong. If you don't have all this... get it. You will wonder how you ever survived without it. ...Show All

  Hi all, I've been struggling with the following problem the last two days: I created a vss server and a database on that server.

• .NET Development hyperlink

  how do i call a procedure clickme() using a hyperlink before using hyperlink to navigate to the next page. I have a hyperlink called NEXT on a form. I want to bring over all the form's text field values in a session variable to the next page. but before doing that, when i click the hyperlink i want to call the procedure to get the field values. The procedure name is clickme() I assume you want to do this on the client side. In this case you'll create a client-side event handler for the onclick handler. The called function will set returnValue to false to prevent the link from jumping. <script language="jscript"> function Confirm() { //Fail the request window.event.retu ...Show All
