• Visual Studio Express Editions Structures, Arrays, Classes... what to use in my case? I'm confused :(

  Greetings! I've advanced a whole LOT on my program now, I got the full client part done in just 3 days o_o... anyhow! as I'm converting my old PureBASIC app to C#, I really loved the way it would use "Structures" to hold "Array data". For example, in PB I could do... Structure Info User.s ; String Warnings.l ; Long integer EndStructure Dim UserInfo.Info(2000) And for accessing/writing I could do, for example: UserInfo(8)\User="John" Basically an array with multiple data types inside. Now I've been searching around the net and found a "dilemma" about classes vs structures... I don't care much if those are in the "heap" (something I don't even understand yet :P I'm self-taught) or o ...Show All

• Commerce Server 3rd Party Payment

  Hi I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement a 3rd party payment solution from within the starter site. Has anybody used a 3rd party to collect payment from within CS I'm trying to figure out whether I need to create a new payment pipeline, or whether the existing one can be modified. We are planning on using Protx, who provide an ASP.Net integration solution. I'm a newbie by the way, so that might explain why I can't find such a solution. Paul Hi Paul, You've got the right direction. Basically you'll need to write a pipeline component to iterate through the payments in the collection and make a call to the provider to authorize and/or capture payment. Cheers, Colin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BUG - Find and Replace in Files does not Focus the Match

  Hi, using CTP6 - while researching on ideas to solve the problem described by Jamie ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=837191&SiteID=1 ) I was testing the Find and Replace in Files functionality since I have exactly the same type of project that Jamie has. I found that if the .sql files are already open, the find and replace does not change the focus / tab when it moves to the next file. It does find the match, but you are working "blind". If you close all files prior to exectuing the Find in Files, then it works correctly and opens each file into focus, highlighting the currently found match.

• Visual Basic VB. Net Form does not refresh

  Hi, I have created a simple VB.NET application with one form and a few modules. When a user clicks on a run button of the form the application starts and goes through differet cycle, while updating the user on status bar, runs for less than four hours. The application works fine, it gives desired result. However, it is not able to refresh the user form, meaning status bar remains same after some time (it suppose to increment). Even when I take mouse on the form it shows timer symbole instead of default one. My application commands another device using GPIB. Basically, PC running my application commands the device. If I look the display of device it gives correct information. Please help me with this issue, Thank you, Shal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit testing woes...

  We had something interesting happen to us that we have no idea how to fix and can't seem to find any documentation on as it was working just fine a week ago. Our build process is presently failing with following error on 116 unit test: The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting 'http://localhost/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd' returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (510).

• Visual Studio Express Editions turning a "textbox" into a "numberbox"

  Okay, I bet this has probly been asked times before, and answered for that matter, and it's probly in the help files somewhere where I didn't check, but I just cannot find the answer. I am trying to use textboxes so that a user can input a number to use in a calculation. Unfortunately, a textbox cannot be converted to a decimal. Which leads me to my problem. Here's my coding (little snippets, anyway): Dim Vf, t, Vi, a As Decimal Dim d As Decimal If Dkn.Checked = True Then d = CDec (dval) If Tkn.Checked = True Then t = CDec (Tval) If Vikn.Checked = True Then Vi = CDec (Vival) If Vfkn.Checked = True Then Vf = CDec (Vfval) If Akn.Checked = True Then a = CDec (Aval) ...Show All
