  I Want a Currency Text Box Line In Visual Foxpro That only Accept Numeric Values in Visual Foxpro Numeric Textbox Has Fixed 0.00 how do like this in vb.net 2005 The MaskedEdit control is from VB6. You CAN use it via interop with .Net, but it is very slow.

• .NET Development generics and static methods question

  I'm learning generics and c#. Is there a way to call static methods in the T class so I can streamline this I have two static methods in T named GetItem and SaveItem that I would like to invoke by something like T.GetItem(astring) and T.SaveItem(t). Reading some of the other posts seems to indicate that a static method can not be used. Thanks for any recommendations. public class FrmUpdateManager <T> : Form { T t; // etc // would like to do something like T.GetItem(tb.Text) to eliminate the if clause // for each type I implement i f ( typeof (T) == typeof ( InsuranceCompany )) { object obj; obj = ( InsuranceCompany .GetItem(tb.Text)); t = (T)obj; displa ...Show All

• Visual C# Late binding in C# - How to pass an object and yet use hardcoded properties?

  Hi, I will use an example to describe my problem: I have two objects - Say Student and Teacher. The two objects share some properties - Say Name and Birthdate I have one method that lists person name and birthdate. I need to pass an object and yet use the properties - Something like this: private void ListPersonInfo(object person) { Console.WriteLine(person.Name, person.BirthDate) } The above does not compile since at compile time the Name and BirthDate are properties of their respecitve objects and are not properties of the Object class. I don't want to use two methods one for teachers and one for students. I also know that it is not a good OO practice to pass plain objects like this and I don't want to us ...Show All

• Visual C++ Returning the memory allocated for a pointer

  Hi! I would like to ask if there is a function (or some way) to return the memory allocated for a pointer. Example: char *s = new char[69]; cout << DesiredFunction(s); //I would like this to print 69 Thank you in advance. If he knew the size would be constant, then yes, that would work.  But I'm assuming that at the time of the printf, he doesn't know the size. If you're dealing with the size of a particular kind of object (say a blob), why not create a class that encapsulates the memory along with its size). myBlob.GetData() and myBlob.GetSize()   If the object type is to be arbitrary, then create a C++ template around it that implements these two methods.

• SQL Server Model Builder Field Order and Inheritance

  When I create a report model, it is easy to change the order in a given entity. Does anyone know how to order the fields in an entity when you are using inheritance or inlining I want to have the fields in alphabetical order so that the end user doesn't have to hunt for the correct field. The other item I need to find out is how to customize the prefixes that inlining uses. Any ideas there Ron That was right on the money with both of the questions. That folder trick is really helpful in cleaning up some seriously unmanageable lists of fields. R ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Viewing Web Pages IN your Application

  I have 3 questions: 1) What is the Web Browser 2) How do I use the Web Browser 3) Can you give me any help Im not entirely sure but looking at the events of the WebBrowser control, there is a "ProgressChanged" event, which you can implement and use. According to the documentation, it states that when the event is fired, the CurrentProgress property will give you the number of bytes successfully downloaded and the MaximumProgress property will give you the total number of bytes available for downloading. Based on this, you can then create your own UI progress bar using these 2 properties I believe. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Hiding Scroll Bar on AxWebBrowser

  Hi Everybody! In my search I have found the following example in C++ code..... but am unable to convert this into Visual Basic .net code. Can anybody help Thanks. The problem with this approach is that it requires you to change the HTML code of the page displayed — something that is not always feasible. A better way to remove the vertical scrollbar is by using one of the IDocHostUIHandler callbacks. When MsHtml interacts with the user interface, it frequently makes calls to these callback methods to see how to proceed. By implementing the method GetHostInfo() , you can disable the vertical scroll bar. The nice thing about this programmatic customization is that it doesn’t require you to make any changes to the content o ...Show All
