Without more information there is little chance of anyone being able to help. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Displaying hexadecimal data as float. What sort of result are you after?

  My setup is: SQL Server 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005 Express (VB) I have a SQL Server database that gets a large C++ data structure that contains longs and floats serialized as an ASCII string where all bytes were converted to hex. The bytes have to be reversed because of endieness. I have been tasked with creating a page to dispaly the parsed data. I know that I can extract the data in groups of 4 (for the longs) and 8 (for the floats). I can convert the hex to decimal, but it is converting to a very large integer type value instead of the expected decimal. I have tried to search the web, but have found very little to aid. The closest used a function similar to the C++ memcpy. This did not seem to be available in my case. A sample of t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to register name in a template ?

  I am wondering how I can register a name in a template. The situation is following: class A : Control { // ..... private void func() { Rectangle rect = new Rectangle ( ); rect.Height = 10; rect.Width = 10; rect.Name = "rect" ; Template.RegisterName( rect.Name, rect ); } } Class A has its own template... so, Template.FindName( rect.Name, this ) always returns null, so the element can't be referenced by storyboards, for example, from xaml. Why Or is there any other way to register an element in a template I also tried to set a new namescope, but it is impossible, because FrameworkTemplate does not derive from DependencyObject and NameScope.SetNameScope requires DependencyObje ...Show All

• Windows Forms exception during axhost.dispose

  when I create an activeX control at runtime which in fact is a .net control exposed as a com object, the hosting axhost class gets the following exception during its dispose: The object's type must be __ComObject or derived from __ComObject. Parameter name: o When the activeX control is created by other means (e.g. visual basic 6.0) the dispose works fine. The control is created by calling new AxHost(CLSID_OF_THE_CONTROL) Is the .net control missing any necessary interface implementation to work with axhost Thats not the desired solution, as I want to be in principle independent of the activeX control. The interfaces shall be retrieved using reflection, not using a wrapper. On the o ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Print reports in .Net Framework

  I need to print a simple report from Pocket Pc to Bluetooth printer. I'm using VS2003, SQL Server CE and Windows Mobile 2003 . Tanks There's no support for either printing or report creation. You would need to generate report yourself and print it yourself (or use 3rd party products). Most common way is to open virtual serial port and send characters and printer commands over it. You can use OpenNetcf.org library for serial port access since you’re on VS 2003. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Suggested Refactoring: Promote Anonymous Type

  Hi I've been playing with some of the ideas around anonymous types and one of the obvious limitations is that they cannot be used outside the local method scope. The suggestion is that if you want to do this the developer should create a proper type to be returned. The thing is the compiler/VS already knows what this type should contain, at least as a starting point. I propose you add something along the lines of promote anonymous type to concrete type refactoring. Implementing this feature will essentially save on work that would otherwise be fairly repetitive and similar. What do you think Kind Regards Duncan We've been developing in LINQ (to SQL) for a while and so far have managed well ...Show All

• Visual Basic createing a text file

  Hi...i used to play around with vb 6 and now i have 2005 and i gt say...i can learn chinese faster then i can learn it... can someone show me how to create a simple text file in the programs folder and can you explain the code so i can learn how it workts..thanks! Sure, you can post your code if you want to The example above was meant to be a little confusing, just to give you some more advanced stuff to learn from. I used an array of strings because you talked about arrays, but in fact, it would have been much simpler without array. As you saw, it's pretty easy to take a text that's one big string, and turn it into an array of strings that are split by the LineFeed character so each splitstring is a 'line' of the text - yo ...Show All
