• Visual Basic How can I create and use a .dll file to be associated with a form?

  Hi, I wanted to create a dll file (project) that will be used in the same solution of a windows form. I'm going to use one dll file to scan for any missing file and (or) directories inside the applications path, I was trying to use application.startuppath, but it is not accessible inside a dll file. How can I pass the value from the form to the dll Unless there is some other way, that is the first thing I thought of. I don't even know how to call the dll, I tried adding it as a reference to the form project, but it doesn't work, please explain in depth of what to do, I have never created or worked with any .dll files previously. Thanks. Start with a solution that has your Windows Forms project. Rig ...Show All

• SQL Server How to treat two different subcategories as one absolutely?

  As the subject suggests , I encountered that problem when I want to treat two different subcategories as one absolutely! Every product belongs to one subcategory , and every subcategory belongs to one category.Now in the category X there are two subcategorys : A and B,and I want to treat the merging of A and B as the new subcategory 'AB' logically absolutely , which means that , for example , the products belonging to A and B now belong to 'AB' , which meas the function 'descendants' works fine as before , but the total sales of all subcategories are right(so does "currentmember") when I choose subcategory.AllMembers on some axis. Any reply are appreciated. 3X. If you want to do it ...Show All

• Windows Forms Long Serial Numbers.

  Dear All, I have problem here with my long serial numbers. My length of serial numbers are in the range of 20 to 30 digits. So what I did i know that the database cant support that long of int so I kept in database as varchar. The problem now is that when I do a select from the database I need to group this serial number base on their number in terms of difference of 1. Ex. I have a list of serial say as below 12345678909999999991 12345678909999999992 12345678909999999993 444444489099999999913 444444489099999999914 So when I run the for loop I will store the first value that is 12345678909999999991 then compare with the next one that is 12345678909999999992 so the difference is 1 then compare the second value of ...Show All

• Windows Forms Host a DateTimePicker in a DataGridView ?

  Hi, I'm trying to host a DateTimePicker in a DataGridView, and it seems that there's a bug somewhere (which I can't find). I took the MS example ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx ) and created a new VB application (2005). The only change I made to that code was to add a second column. Now... I run that application and pick a row, and then try and edit the date in place (that is, without a popup). Say the date is "19/09/2006". I click on the cell (it highlights), I click on the "19" (that highlights) and I press some numeric key (like "4"), I then press "tab" to get to the same row, second column, my date stays as (or rather, changes back to) "19th". In my ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista vista and UNC paths and mapped drives

  Hi, My application is stored on our network in a location K:\path\to\app.exe. each user double clicks on the exe and installs right off the network. In vista when you do this instead of launching K:\path\to\app.exe it changes the command to a \\servername\share\ format, \\server01\path\to\app.exe. Unfortunatly for legacy reasons it will only work with a drive letter and not the UNC path. So before I look at changing the app's code, Is there a way to get past this in Vista RC1 Thanks Shane I am also having the same problem. The app resides on a network drive. I use a call to GetModuleName() and it returns the UNC path in Vista but returns the drive letter and path in XP and 2000. This happens if the app i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista XAML Based WF Linked to Assembly

  I am trying to set up an XAML based workflow where all of the activities are either common activites or defined in a custom assembly. I am loading the xoml file at runtime using an XMLReader to load the xoml file, then calling CreateWorkflow with the XMLReader. After working with this a bit I was finally able to get the workflow to load correctly. The workflow starts with a While Activity. The While activity calls a member of my custom SequentialWorkflowActivity class named 'ContinueLooping'. 'ContinueLooping' sets args.Result = true; This should result in a continuous loop, however, the workflow always completes right away. If I put a message box in the 'ContinueLooping', I never see the message box. If I change the name of the 'ContinueL ...Show All

  Hi, I'm curious as to what exactly MultiSampleQuality is. I understand how to set fsaa with MultiSampleType using a PreparingDeviceSettings Event Handler or just fiddling with the presentation parameters can calling Reset(). But to fulfill my curiousity, I was browsing the docs and saw little documentation on MultiSampleQuality.

What is that int all about and MultiSamplyQuality all about Thanks Found something about that in the gamedev.net forums click Topic bye ...Show All

• SQL Server Matrix headings on 2005, pain in the neck

  Hello, I know this is a known issue since SSRS 2000, but it seems that it hasn't been solved: How can I have column headings on a Matrix Report (not in the data region, just in the columns that identifies the rows). All the workarounds and tricks that I have found are quite nasty and have drawbacks when you export to Excel, for instance: - Using a table inside upper left blank area in the matrix report: Problem, when you export to excel you loose the Header. - Using an rectangle and placing textboxes (tweaking with pixels... :-(): When you export to excel you get excel columns merged, quite bad if somebody wants to make some macros or calculations). - Using a list report ... well I need a matrix report :-).
