• Visual Basic graphic and paint methods

  I am new to vb.net and trying to draw lines that can go un, down, left, right, and Diagonal 4 ways. I got the lines to go up, down, right left, but can't seem to get them to go diagonal in any directions. Any help please. thanks Sorry, that's too much to look through every line... At a glance however, it appears that you're not actually drawing lines but rather manipulating individual pixels; so again it would be a matter of changing both the x and y of the next pixel to move diagonally. Where are you getting stuck at ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CreateTask Activity

  Hi all, I'm hosting the workflow in SharePoint. The problem is with the "Delay Activity". In Sharepoint there is no access to the scheduler service in order to wake the workflow instance after the delay is timed out. In refernce to the following post, it is a bug in MOSS 2007 Beta 2. I figured out a walkaround in order to solve this problem, OnWorkflowActivated a new task is created; this task is updated on timely basis triggering the "OnTaskChanged" event. Once this event is triggered, it rehydrates the workflow instance that causes the scheduler to run again and thus invoking the delay activity method once it is timed out. This seem to work but the other problem is that if two tasks are created and none of ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adapter.Fill fails with No Selection Rights.

  Im using an informix driver and having an issue when I try to change the connection string. Setting up a data source with the tables and adapters, I have only been able to use a DSN that I have created using the ODBC Manager. When you do the setup, it wants to save the ConnectionString. But it saves it to the Application.Connection String which is impossible to change.(Maybe I wrong) Everything works great until I try to get rid of my UID and PWD. The Adapter.Fill fails with No Selection Permissions. What am I missing DataSet ds = new DataSet(); OdbcDataAdapter daAccountInfo = new OdbcDataAdapter(); OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection(myConnString + myLoginPWD); try { this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor; ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game timing and refresh rate

  I have a little app with a few sprites (v2 beta) and a display of the elapsed time since the last screen update. The time says 0.01666 seconds which equates to 60fps, although Fraps states 75 which is my monitor refresh rate. Changing Game.IsFixedTimeStep to false resulted in the time fluctuating only slightly, I think 0.01666-0.01333 which would equate to 60-75fps. Shouldn't my fps go through the roof when IsFixedTimeStep is false (I have a very fast gfx card). I can also toggle between windowed and fullscreen with the same results. Can anyone explain why the fps isn't running faster than the refresh rate Cheers, Terry I did the same thing - turned off fixed step and forgot to turn off vsync ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting a working progress bar for webBrowser?

  I have tried a number of things and nothing seems to work. If anyone can provide me with a good tutorial for doing this than that would be great!

• Visual Studio Team System Multiple Web-Test iterations not executed

  Hi all. I have noticed an issue with running a batch of (in my case coded) web tests repeatedly. I am running the RTM. I am attempting to run several tests multiple times in a row. I have set the localtestrun.testrunconfig Settings to default to 50 times. This config is selected as Active. When several tests are selected via the Test Manager Window, and I right-click to "Run checked tests", only the first test initiated is executed 50 times. Each subsequent test appears to only run once. As a workaround I have referenced a "false" datasource w. 50 rows and used the "once per datasource row" config setting instead. It works but requires updating each coded test with a datasource Aplogies if this ...Show All

• Visual Basic Restricting TextBox Input to Letters Only

  I am trying to create a form that has a TextBox control on it for entering a state abbreviation (two letters). What is the best way to make sure that the user enters only letters (no numbers) IsNumeric doesn't seem to do the trick if the first character is a letter and the second characters is a number...I want to be able to restrict user input so that they cannot enter any numbers at all into the TextBox.

  Hi Folks! I’m trying to make a client/server program using VB.NET. I’ve got an example from MSDN website. After some changes, I got a working version.

• Visual C# proper constructor chaining direction

  I was looking at some code at my work and with several overloaded constructors having the same code in each one, I thought, beautiful, perfect place to use constructor chaining. Except I'm not sure which direction is the proper way to go What I mean is, in the constructor, do you go from the general to the specific, using nulls for the missing parameters, or do you go from specific to general and then in the body of the constructor set the missing properties Where things get interesting is when you want to call the base constructor, should it go in one place If you're using constructor chaining, then you can do this, but where does it go, at the top or the bottom of the chain Here is a sample class that illustrates what I mean. ...Show All

• Visual Basic name "SqlHelper" is not declared

  Hi, all, I need your help on upgrading my DAAB from 1.1 to 2.0. (Or do I need to upgrade ) I have converted my win app from vs2003 with Data Access Application Block 1.1 to vs2005. I got multiple instances of this error on build. I have tried following 3 approaches, but they all failed. 1) reset ref to DAAB 1.1 On my vs03, under primary proj, I had a reference node, and I had added the DAAB project as a ref there. In vs05, I tried to add ref. (Right click on proj), but it wouldn't allow me to add DAAB, saying it could cause circular dependency SQLHelper is declared as public sealed class SqlHelper in its own project. 2) use a converted DAAB1.1 After I installed vs2005 and converted the proj, the DAAB became "u ...Show All
