• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic windows forms

  Hey, I've only started using Visual Basic tonight, and I've never touched any previous form of VB and/or Visual Studio. So this is probably the newbie-ist question you've seen for a few years if not ever. Anyway, I've got a task set out whereby I must create a testing program as such, with multiple choices. I've created a form for every question, along with a welcome form and a grade form. My question is simply, how do you link the forms, so that a user can click the button labelled "Continue1" and it opens up form2, within the same space and so on and so forth. Any help would be more than gratefully received. Thanks! well to do this, firstly on each form set the Startup Position of ...Show All

• Visual Studio CRITICAL ERROR INSTALLING SP1 (released) FOR VISUAL STUDIO 2005

  Hi All, I have tried to install released version of SP1 for VS2005 Team System for Software Developer since last night with no success at all. This is the most troublesome for Service Pack, I have ever experienced so far. Now, some of my applications can't be used any more, e.g. VS2005, Windows Live Messenger, VSS, Paint.NET. Can someone from Microsoft or whoever help me Currently I am developing application and is near the target date. As I see in MSDN that SP1 has been released, I believe that released version from Microsoft will be easy to install and since this is SERVICE PACK, not new product. First time I encounter problem due to lack of space. I am quite surprised Service Pack need more than 2GB to install. So I have clea ...Show All

• Visual C# How to deploy

  I have one big DLL called HISGUI.dll built using C# 2005 I also have HISSystems.exe and HISReports.exe applications built using C# 2005 Both HISSsyetms.exe as well as HISReports.exe makes use of HISGUI.dll. Because HISGUI.dll is used by more than one application; I thought it would be good idea to place HISGUI.dll in GAC. I made merge module setup project HISGUImergeMdouleSetup.msm where in GAL contains HISGUI.dll and its dependencies. Then I made setup project for HISReports.exe which contains just exe file and HISGUImergeMdouleSetup.msm. I did the same for HISSystems. Both were then deployed in a test machine. They work ok But then I made some changes in HISGUI.dll project and rebuilt the HISGUImergeMdouleSetup.msm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Customizable Colors and Fonts

  Hi. Im working on a languageservice, and I have added some custom colors. The colors are working just fine in the editor, but I recently got a request that people want to be able to customize these colors. Naive as i am, I assumed that the colors would automagically apear in the [Tools->Options->Fonts and Colors] dialog under "show settings for: text-editor", which they didn't. The strange thing though, they do apear under "show settings for: printer". Changing these settings seems to work as intended (colors doesn't change in the editor, but they do change on paper if you print the sourcecode.) I've been searching thorugh my code and registry for settings, but I haven't found any connections between my languageservice/package ...Show All
