• Smart Device Development Validating and Validated events are not invoked for focused Control when closing modal form.

  Hi, VS2005, CFv2. Its easy to reproduce this problem. Create new form Form1, drop TextBox, form1.ShowDialog, enter text in textBox1, close form (press Ok). This problem makes useless using DataSourceUpdateMode.OnValidation when bind object to form controls. Thanks, Tom. mrbelk wrote: ... the Compact Framework doesn't support the ContainerControl.ValidateChildren() or ContainerControl.Validate() methods.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3D in video conference

  Hi buddies, Do you know any video conference tool that can support D3D applications I have to demo my program remotely but NetMeeting only shows an empty 3D window. Even if you get it to work it will look terrible. The screen capture almost always works by sending screen draw commands. For DirectX if it works at all it has to send multiple large bitmaps as a video. The app will generally shrink and color reduce and your demo will lose almost all its effect. The best thing you can do it make a prerecorded video with http://www.fraps.com or camtasia ( http://www.techsmith.com ) and email it to your clients in advance. Microsoft use live meeting for the MSDN webcasts and that seems to work, though l ...Show All

• Windows Forms Error code 2869 with Vista

• Windows Forms hold a key...

  is there a way to "codely" press and hold down a key for x amount of seconds Apparently it is a VERY special key...cuz VB doesn't even talk about it. I tried your suggestion of {fn} but I get an error that it isn't a valid key....plus I need to have a way to combine Fn with F8 to get the desired effect...the syntax simply doesn't allow something like {fn}...needs a + or % for example. I wonder if there is another way to set the LCD/LCD + Monitor/Monitor sequence rather than the Fn+F8 ...Show All

  Well... VS 2005 come with .net Frame Compact Framework 1 SP3 Developer, .net Compact Framework 2... Can I update it How Thanks Hi, You are correct, Visual Studio 2005 comes with 2 versions of the .NET Compact Framework. These versions are used for mobile device development for various types of mobile devices and various versions of Windows CE. I'm not sure why you would need to update those versions of the .NET Compact Framework though. There is not yet a newer version of the .NET Compact Framework available to update to. Can you clarify the scenario you are working on and why you want to update these Thanks! Aaron ...Show All

• Visual Basic vb 2005 Tab(n) Printing

  I an trying to set absolute positions when printing a schedule using Tab(n). which I have successfully used in vb6 i.e. (info(0,i); Tab(4) ; info(1,i); Tab(15);) an so on. I can print with Spaces and Format but each are text length sensitive which do not register correctly in the printed schedule. The numerous books do not seem to cover this point. Help would be appreciated. hemo You can control specifically where text will print on the page (in inches) directly. You don't need the 'tabs'. In your print routine, perform a DrawString on the printer Graphics object, which is passed as an argument through the PrintPageEventArgs. Something like: e.Graphics.DrawString( "Some Text" , ...Show All

• .NET Development howto AppendPrivatePath in 2.0

  yet another migration question from me (I'm on a theme here). in 1.1 (in 2.0 too but with a compiler warning) I can append the private path of the default app domain using the AppendPrivatePath method. the 2.0 compiler compliains that I should use the private bin path of the appdomain setup info, but the problem with this is, that thats not accessible for the default app domain. I suppose the answer would be to specify that in the app config and I suppose thats what I'll end up doing (even though thats a lot of stuff I then have to change), but wanted to look stupid by asking if there was an alternative similar to AppendPrivatePath. The AppDomain.SetupInformation does not give you a valid ...Show All
