• Internet Explorer Development IE7 activeX Webbrowser control?

  How can I use the IE7 webbrowser control in my visual basic (6) applications I had this exact same issue with a vb6 application i was updating. One difference I had was that the control worked just fine after the IE7 update from IE6, I was working with the control in my code. During a debug my application crashed, causing vb6 to shutdown. When I restarted the project, I got the "Class SHDocVwCtl.WebBrowser of control wboProfileOptions was not a loaded control class." error. I checked the class registration, it was still there, but the control was gone. I dont have an older version to install because the updates I was making to my app were to include the use of "SHDocVwCtl.WebBrowser" fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Upgrading TFS Workgroup Edition

  I finally got TFS working and added users and projects and we're starting to learn about it. It looks like it'll be a great tool. But, during the installation I locked everybody out (except TFSSERVICE, which I had to use to get back in) by trying to add our 5 users to the licensed group and hitting the limit because of the Administrator being there. I deleted the Admin and precipitated a day of command line hacking. But, my question is concerning the two TFS editions. I ordered the full TFS from a reseller 2 weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. 1 1/2 weeks ago I downloaded TFS WG from the MSDN site and since then have been installing it. Now, when the full TFS arrives will I be able to upgrade what I've spent 2 weeks installing ...Show All

• Windows Forms Forms

  How can I show the form when I have more then one forms .ActiveForm returns the 'Active' form, which is likely the form that your code is running from, Form1 if you have not renamed it. DO you mean that you have created forms in the form designer and wish to display them To show a form that you have designed in the form designer you must instatiate it, then show it. So that if you had created a form called Form2, to display it: Form2 myFrm = new Form2(); myFrm.Show(); The same for any further forms that you have designed, a form is just a class, so it must be instatiated into an object before you may access its non static members. If you are still stuck, shout back, ...Show All

• .NET Development Form.SetTopLevel() breaks mouse event handlers

  If I call SetTopLevel(false) followed by SetTopLevel(true) on a windows form, it appears that mouse events are no longer fired for controls contained in that form. For example on the following form, I have a panel which turns green on the MouseEnter event and turns red on the MouseLeave event. I have a button on the form, the Click event handler for which calls SetTopLevel(false) followed by SetTopLevel(true). After clicking the button, the panel stops changing colour in response to mouse movements. This simplified example illustrates what appears to be a bug in the framework which breaks an important feature of my application. Does anyone know any workarounds for this problem The problem doesn't seem to exist in the .NET 2.0 Framework, so ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Future of DirectX

  I'm starting to get worried about DirectX, because mostly it becomes deprecated, first there was DirectPlay, and now it is the same thing for DirectInput and DirectSound, I've recently read that they are becoming deprecated in favor of XACT and XInput. Could you tell me why is this happening What will become of DirectX in the future Will be there only Direct3D, or will it disappear either I'd like to give you my opinion that deprecating good API's like DirectInput and DirectSound is a bad idea. Take a look at XInput- it allows only xbox controllers, and what about mice, keyboards, or other joypads And mostly I'm concerned about DirectSound, In Vista there is no hardware support for it, does that mean I have to stop working with Direc ...Show All

• Windows Forms Inherited controls moves

• SQL Server SQL Server Express to SQL Developer Edition

  I have Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite and have SQL Server Express installed from the initial setup. I would like to replace the Express edition with SQL Server 2005 Developer edition. I am currently developing for SQL 2000 and also have Enterprise Manager installed locally. Will the Developer edition install offer the option to unistall the Express edition (I don't need both installed) Or do I need to uninstall Express manually and then install Developer. Also is there anything I have to be wary of in terms of making sure I am still able to debug SQL 2000 sprocs etc. in VS Rory You can upgrade your Express instance to Developer without any uninstall/reinstall. Just run setup.exe from the Developer editi ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to call a memory release ?

  Hi, I am currently building a VB.Net Application that uses Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The problem is that the amount of memory used while the process is running always keeps growing. And I am sure that Acrobat is responsible for that. So I would like to know how to call a memory release in VB.Net. thanks for helping. Alex I dont want to release the object, it need to stay accessible. the thing is that while I'm using Acrobat, I open and I close a lot of PDF documents. But when I close the PDF documents, Acrobat doesn't seem to clean its memory because it keeps growing. For example I can use a PDF document of 1meg and after the process, the Acrobat Process will be using 200meg of Ram. What I want is to tell the OS (Wi ...Show All
