• Visual Studio Express Editions ZIP Archive

  Hi All, I've been playing with the .Net Framework again and I was wondering if there is anyway that I could crate an Archive type file. What I was thinking of what using a DateControl object for the Start and End Date and then trying to archive all the test text files I have created (I have created these files on different dates to test this out), I was original aiming for a ZIP file but I cant seem to find any thing in the framework for this! I'm I just blind or do I have to create something myself. Or is there actualy an Archive or backup function that will do what I'm looking to do As always, referances would be best, but I'll take what ever comes. Thanks in advance. Scott there is a GZipStream in .NET 2. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with MS Access Data Update

• Visual C++ Illegal Character in File path...using *

  I'm using StreamReader to read text from a file. The problem is I cannot get the exact filename of the file I intend to read. So I'm using a wildcard - something like "Monitor_log_08_20_10_15_*.txt" where the Monitor_log is followed by month_day_hours_minutes_seconds. I cant time it right to get the seconds field exact, so I'm just using a wildcard. StreamReader doesnt like that. It errors with an Illegal Character in File Path. How do I workaround this problem Any suggestions... Thanks!! Files is the full path name. To get just the filename, use Path::GetFileName(Files ) or Path::GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Files ); ...Show All

• Windows Forms Simple Event Help

  Hello, I am trying to understand some really simple event matters. I have a windows application, where i want to change a label everytime an event is risen. To be more concrete: I start a thread process in the Form_Load section. Let's say that the process runs a simple for loop counting numbers from 1 till 1000 and raises an event, when the number is dividible by 7. When the event is risen the number should be written out in a label in windows application. To be more specific. I want to port the example on the link bellow, to be working in a windows application, where the loop that raises an event runs in a seperated class. Link: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csevents01.asp Nothing too hard about that ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Navigate on Canvas (Zoom Scroll)

  I display a canvas with children that represent a system (or something else). I would zoom (with MouseWheel) on it and move left/right/up/down with mouse (or scrollbars), like navigate on map.   I looked for objects in WPF and I may use a canvas (on which I want navigate) inside StackPanel. The StackPanel is like a window on the Canvas. I need to determine the window position and windows size (relative to the canvas) each time the user zoom or move on the canvas.   I will apply a RenderTransform (ScaleTransform and TranslateTransform) on mouse event to modify the rendering of the canvas.   Is there a better way to do this (using another element than Canvas/StackPanel)   Than ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums suggestions for plugin?

  I've been thinking about writing a WLW plugin or two, but am currently lacking ideas.. Does anybody got one to spare I second that idea. While WLW at first glance seems to strip rich text formatting, it also has a tendency to preserve certain other forms of formatting, with "curly" quotes being one. It is simply a bad idea since Wordpress and many other scripts have internal engines to "texturize" content. But hey, why not allow the user to change this via options and make everyone happy Or as been suggested here, via a plugin. I have no idea if plugins can replace the internal cut and paste routine though ...Show All

• SQL Server Using shared dataSource while deploying a report.

  Hi, I am writing a script which will deploy a report on the report server. The dataSource used for the report is a shared one and which is already deployed on the report server. What code should be added in the rss script to specify that the report uses the shared dataSource When I searched on net I found an article : http://blogs.solidhouse.com/david.woods/CategoryView,category,SQL%20Reporting%20Services.aspx which specifies a example for using shared datasources. It tries to execute a method setReportDataSources() on a instance variable rs which should be type ReportingService (the variable is not declared). But when the script is executed a rs variable is already declared to be of type : Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServ ...Show All

• SQL Server accessing data base from remote computer

  we have sql 2005 standard edition. i was trying ( unsuccessfully ) to configure RAS on server 2003 to allow the server to authentificate vpn requests. i don't know how but the next day people started complaining about their mapped network drives being disconnected, and now no one can connect to the database via the network, eventhough they still have access to the server, and the network drives were remapped. actually now that you mention it, there is a message that keeps showing up since about the time i started playing around with RAS. it is from NfsSvr. it says mapping information could not be obtained from user mapping. another attempt will be made in 30 minutes. this message first appeared about noon on fri. however we started ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems Loading Team Source Control into VS Experimental Hive

  Greetings, I am trying, unsuccessfully, to load Team Source Control into Visual Studio's experimental hive. I have it loaded in the regular hive of VS, but when I attempt to load it through Tools -> Options -> Source Control, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server is not listed as a plug-in for me to load. I do not have any other possibly conflicting source control systems loaded on my computer, so I know that this is not the issue. Any idea why I had no problem loading it into the regular hive but cannot do so in the experimental hive I have some colleagues who have done it successfully through the mechanism I just described, but as I said, this doesn't work for me. I'm at a loss for what to do, and can't continue work on my ...Show All

• Visual Basic Web Browser project

  I am working on a very simple browser, mainly for quick web surfing without the need of menus, favorites, and other fancy features seen in other browsers. The problem is, im quite new to this programming language, and i barely got anything out of what little time i had in Introduction to Computer Programming (using Visual Basic 6.0) before being pulled out of that class to make up a required credit. Im clueless as to how to get the WebBrowser object to respond to the input in the AddressBar, and display the site the user types. Any help on this would be really greatful. Thanks it should be the webbrowser control name: Me.theWebBrowserControl.Navigate(Me.AddressBar.Text) the post has been edited - there was a forum issue when i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow or DirectSound

  Hi, I need to write a C++ application that searches all audio inputs (enumerate all sound cards and for each card enumerates all inputs) for audio. Then, if audio found, analyze it. I first though I'd use DirectSound, but strangely DirectSound does not support input-pin enumeration. Then I went reading the DirectShow manual, and found that it interfaces with the sound card through DirectSound, so it does not make sense to me to use it. Please note that I target my application for both XP and Vista and I must use C++. Any comment Thanks Shaul Try running GraphEdt (from the platform SDK). This will show you the audio devices. When you add the filter to the graph, it will show the pins. ...Show All

• SQL Server AS 2000 DSO loses connection

  We use DSO with ASP.NET 1.1 via COM layer through interop. However, sometimes after awhile the connection can no longer be established. The error occurs somewhere in the following code, most likely the first line: dsoServer.Connect ServerName Set m_dsoServer = dsoServer If m_dsoServer.MDStores.Find(mvarDBName) Then Set m_dsoDatabase = m_dsoServer.MDStores(mvarDBName) Else ' Dont do nothing for now End If The error reads: Error: Cannot connect to the repository. Restarting IIS fixes this problem until it recurs. Any idea Thanks, Boris Zakharin Could you point me to where it says that using DSO from ASP.NET is not supported I have found at least one KB article talking about ho ...Show All
