• Windows Forms Open IE and Navigate from VB.Net

  Can anyone tell me how to open Internet Explorer and navigate to URLs from vb.net When the user clicks a button on my windows form I would like it to navigate to a URL in Internet Explorer. If there is already an IE window open, I would like it to reuse it. Something like this: If (IE is not open) then Open IE End If Navigate to URL Thanks not quite I believe, unless you get a handle of the window then do some Win32 call like SendMessage or something. The reason is because you are killing the process, which means it gets rid of it completely.   I guess you could maybe do this, and see if it helps   if myProcess.HasExited = false then    myProcess.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.Pr ...Show All

• Windows Forms 2 DataTables related through third

  Can somebody direct me in the right direction on this, please. I have 3 tables First ------- ID, Name Second ------- ID, Name Lookup ------- FirstID, SecondID All three tables are loaded to same typed DataSet. Is there a possibility to bind one ComboBox to First, and another ComboBox to Second data table, but under condition that second will contain only values from Second data table for selected First. I actually need same thing that could be done using SQL: SELECT L.SecondID, S.Name FROM Lookup L LEFT OUTER JOIN Second S ON S.ID = L.SecondID WHERE L.FirstID = 1 I know how that could be done if it was possible to bind Lookup table (BindingSource) to some control on the form, and then create FKBindingSource.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can't deploy to Xbox 360 from GSE

  All Apologies but this is a repeat post from 31-Jan buried inside another thread that appears to have died. I can't push code to my Xbox 360 from GSE.  This issue has been reported by other people and their problems boil down to either having entered the 25-digit code incorrectly or, in one case, that their router didn't properly support UPnP. I've regenerated, accepted and reconfigured the key *many* times, making sure I don't have any 0's, 1's, 5's or 8's in the generated key to avoid confusion.  I understand this is a one-time key so I'm not reusing an old key.  I am most definitely getting the key right and choosing accept, not cancel. I have downloaded and installed Windows Media Connect (I'm running Windows ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Favicon in IE7

  Hi My site uses a FAVICON, which works well in IE7. However, I've noticed that if you create a shortcut to a webpage on your XP desktop, the FAVICON is used as the desktop icon. My favicon.ico file has 2 res images of the file, 16x16 and 32x32. However, the desktop icon picks up the 16x16 version and uses that. Is there a way to make it use the 32x32 version. Or can I get windows to use a default icon. Thanks I cannot get my favicon to work with IE7. I can see it on other computers, but not on mine. I've cleared the browser cache and still no luck. Any suggestions Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services: timeout issue

  Hi there, I've just developed this big report in RS SQL 2000 that includes 6 subreports (repeated for each item in the database) and that should print some 800 pages. A light version of the report that only queries part of the data (about 10%, for testing purposes) run with success, including all subreports in about 15 minutes. Once I try to test the report with all the data (all subreports and the main report query directly from the cube in AS), it fails under three different scenarios: 1st: The timeout setting is left as the default 1800 seconds. After half an hour the report gets partially displayed and the subreports that were not processed within the 30 minutes period display only "The subreport data could no ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Starting Focus Stuck

  I set my top button to focused()=true on startup - the intention is to have one button start with focus. However in the iHDSim, I cannot nav away from this button. If I do not set focused(), then no buttons have focus, however I can click on one and then get proper navigation. I'm not sure what is going wrong. At one point I thought it was the USB keyboard. Basically if I set any of the buttons to focused in the markup, then I cannot navigate to other buttons using the arrow keys. Why would I be able to use the mouse but not the arrow keys MARKUP         <timing clock="page">             <defs>           & ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Questionable Design?

  Granted, I'm only a hobbiest, but it seems that many of the samples in this beta just have some very poor design regarding encapsulation.

• SQL Server sql 2005 Transaction log size

  We have a database that is backed up every night (full backup). The database size is around 5GB and the transaciton log is about 3GB. And it's 3GB after the backup too. I thought the log size should shrink after each full backup. I can't imagine what data the log needs to maintain after a full backup is complete. What can be done about this large transaction log TIA, barkindog It's not quite clear if you mean the sizing of the physical file or the contents of the logfile. In general, the size of the transaction file(s) should be left as is when you have 'normal' activities in your db. The log will grow to the size it needs in order to accomodate your largest transactions, and assuming ...Show All
