• .NET Development Using Regex/Match to find decimal Index location from RightToLeft.

  I am trying to find the decimal index location from RightToLeft using Regex/Match. When the code below runs, I keep getting the index value from LeftToRight even though I specified RegexOptions .RightToLeft . What am I missing here Regex r = new Regex ( @"[.]" , RegexOptions .RightToLeft); Match m = r.Match(tbMainInput.Text); if (m.Success) { m.Index.ToString(); } Thanks for your help... The string that I am searching will contain a numbers like 123.45 or 123.4567. So.. I need to grab the decimal index going from right to left. The IndexOf is still giving me index from left to right.   Thanks for your fast response.. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cannot import wsdl:binding

  When I run svcutil from the July CTP like so: svcutil https://webservices.netsuite.com/wsdl/v2_0_0/netsuite.wsdl I get the following error message: Error: Cannot import wsdl:binding Detail: The WSDL binding named NetSuiteBinding is not valid because no match for operation login was found in the corresponding portType definition.

• Visual C++ Link Error

  Hi all. Im having a link error when i compile 3 source files together. error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__SendMessageA@16 Thats just one out of 4 errors. I've googled the error msg and found that other have had the same problem, but neither of their problems were ever resolved( at least not on the article/forum) So since i have this issue and i'd like to know what i need to update/change to fix this error. Im using VC++ 6 platform SDK 2003 Everything is in order to compile in the settings etc. From what i've read its some sort of out-dated problem. But how can it be out dated if i can compile the source by itself It would'nt compile if it was so out-dated right Any suggestions on what i should do is appreciated as always. ...Show All

• Visual C# new and shiny

  Yep I'm new and shiny to C# - coming from a C and Java background. Been looking for something that lists the base class's apis (preferably HTML - kinda like java's api if at all possible) to get a general idea of what classes are available and what they can do. Have 2 books ordered but would like to get a head start if possible. I have quickly looked at the specification doc provided in the visual studio - not exactly what I am looking for (or maybe just the format of it through me off) as well as a couple quick googles (maybe I am using the wrong search phrases) and a very quick search on these forums (base class api and a few variations). Links, google search phrases, or a spoon/clue would be appreciated. ...Show All

  Hello All, Just a basic question. I am seeing several books called VisualC#.NET , C#, C#.NET What is the actual difference between those What is the relation ship between C# and dotnet. Please give me the concept Thanks, John 1) any type almost! I guess it depends. for example ALOT of websites these days, especially these forums, are created in ASP.NET, most likely C# for code behind. There are many projects/solutions out there that are created on the .NET platform with either VB.NET, C# or a combination of both as code Microsoft internally use C# and VB.NET (mainly C#) to develop other software, such as small tools or other projects.

• Visual Basic Label Text Highlighted ... but I Don't Want it Highlighted

  Simple question ... I have put a label on a Windows form within a VB 2005 application I am creating. When I debug the form the text in the label is highlighted (as if I had swiped it). I don't want the text highlighted but I cannot figure out which label property is set that causes this to happen. Can someone enlighten me Thanks. Are you talking about a label or textbox control The only properties which I would think would cause this effect would be the forecolor and backcolor for a label. However for a textbox there are many properties such as selectedText, Selectionstart, selectionlength which could be used to achieve this as well as the focus method So can you confirm this and describe th ...Show All
