• Visual Studio Express Editions Text replace with File IO of binary/text data

  Perhaps not the appropriate forum, but..... I have a need to replace text in a file with new text. The files may or may not be text files in the sense that there may not be "lines" and they may not contain printable characters. I tried the StreamReader and StreamWriter approach and the String.Replace method. It works well, except that not all the file contents gets preserved. Three bytes at the start of the file are omitted. These occur just before the CRLF characters. Can I read the file in a binary way and then use the equivalent to the String.Replace The input will no longer be a string Fisrtly, I posted this query before I started the application. It is now largely complete except for the handling of d ...Show All

• Visual C# Denied access to my app!

  Right in the middle of codeing, I suddenly can't access my app. What I mean to say is, I can open it, and I can enter code, but when I try to run or debug it, I get this error: Error 1 Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\GenTestInCsharp.exe" to "bin\Debug\GenTestInCsharp.exe". The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\GenTestInCsharp.exe' because it is being used by another process. GenTestInCsharp The problem is, there's nothing running that could be using this app. I've tried closing it and re-opening to see if that would correct/release it but it's still locked. I then closed Visual Studio down and restarted it and still get the same error. My last resort is to shut down my computer, but I'd rather like to be ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista OnKeyDown event problem in FreeformActivityDesigner

  Hello. I'm working on a FlowChart example of Ramrajprabu Balasubramanian ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=579662&SiteID=1 ) I'm trying to override OnKeyDown of FlowDesigner (which inherits from FreeformActivityDesigner) My problem is that only few keys are intercepted.

• Visual Basic ComboBox and Messge

  How do you pass a name from a ComboBox list to a variable and then give a message in a message box via a Select Case Statement i.e Case 1 - meesage 1 Case 2 - message 2 etc etc. Ta you don't need to store the item selected in a variable then based on that do a case statement. You can totally avoid this step and just get the Text chosen from the combobox and do your case statements. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/vastmselectcase.asp Example: Select Case Me.theComboBox.Text Case " Bob " MessageBox.Show("Your name is Bob") Case " Jim " MessageBox.Show("Your name is Jim") end select you can of cour ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Open Word.doc

• SQL Server use of 'inserted' table (move data from a table to another AFTER INSERT)

  Hi using: SQLServer 2000 I need to move some data from T1 to T2 (both with identical fields) as soon as a register is inserted in T1. The register might exist in T2, and after that the register should be removed from T1 (althoug this is not completely necessary). I have tried something like this but I keep getting the message: "Syntaxis error near reserved word SELECT".

• Windows Live Developer Forums Problems displaying custom emoticons...

  (this problem happens to me both in Live and Msn Messenger 7.5) Recently I've been having problems displaying custom emoticons that people sent me - some custom emoticons work, while others show up as an empty space (i.e. image won't show up) and though I'm using a new PC right now, the same is happening. I think the same may be going for display pictures, some work and some don't. The only thing I can see that would be causing this is ZoneAlarm Security Suite, but I've enabled MSN Messenger to have full privileges and this is still happening. If it is not the privileges, does it have anything to do with blocked ports I'm also seeing other image display problems, such as in FirstClass (the client), if I view someone's resume, I cannot see ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I put line breaks in my email message using Stringbuilder?

  Hello All, I am busy writing an application where i need to send email. I would rather use the computers default email application rather than go down the SMTP route. Towards this I found some code on MSDN kindly provided by Graham Wade: Dim myApp As New Process Dim theStringBuilder As New System.Text.StringBuilder() theStringBuilder.Append("mailto:") theStringBuilder.Append("&subject=my subject") theStringBuilder.Append("&body=my body message") myApp = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(theStringBuilder.ToString()) This code works brilliantly, but....

• Visual C# Best external data storing

  Good day, I'm almost not experienced with C#, and lately I have been doing the Absolute Beginners Tutorial with the RSS Reader thing ( url ). Anyway, the person who made these video's prefered Microsoft SQL Server Database File to store the data, which is indeed very handy to use. But after finishing my RSS Reader I found out no one else could use it simply because they don't have an SQL server running. I was quite surprised because I didn't even know there was one running on my PC, it seems VS did that all in the background. Actually it's quite stupid I didn't think of this earlier. :p Now my question is, what's actually the most regular way to store a database withouth having to run an SQL server in the background I could of course use f ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is it possible to exchange a running workflow for a different workflow?

  Hello everybody! Let me explain my situation: I created an ASP.NET web-application which is based on a state machine workflow. When one of our customers is not satisfied with the default implementation of the workflow, I need to exchange the running workflow with a different workflow. The changes to the workflow are minimal, but they are required for the customer. Is it possible to exchange a workflow for a different one, even if it is already running and there are persisted workflow instances in the database If not, what can I do to accomplish this Ah! That's a nice concept, thanks! Does my workflow assembly need to be in the GAC or can it also be located in the "bin" fol ...Show All
