• Windows Forms Reentrant error in a DataGrdiView

  I am using a DataGridView to organize information that a user provides. It is not bound to any data base. All I want to do is collect the data for further processing. The data, which is formatted using FormatCurrency, consists of amounts entered into rows corresponding to preloaded categories identified in a second column,. As the user moves around the DGV with the arrow buttons everything is fine. If a new amount is entered into a cell and the mouse is used to move away, this error surfaces: Operation not Valid because it results in an reentrant call to the SetCurrentAddressCore function Using the arrow keys to move doesn’t produce the error To work around the problem I have tried ideas fr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Use the String.Compare method

  I was just wondering if anyone knew a better/more efficient way to compare 2 strings to see if their format matches. Below is what I am currently using, just seems to be a little messy right now.....maybe I am wrong and I want something simpler....let me know, thanks! Function strFormatCheck(originalStr As String, patternStr As String) As Boolean ' This function just checks to make sure that originalStr matches patternStr ' A - alphabetical character. ' a - alphanumeric character. ' N - numeric or space " " character. ' n - strictly numeric (no space) character. ' X - ANY character - a placeholder really. ' x - any non-blank character (no space).

• .NET Development WCF callback endpoint in JScript

  I am wondering if it makes sense at all to consider the possibility of implementing a callback interface for a WCF service in JScript. The service would expose an endpoint with wsDualHttpBinding. Well, i can give a general answer to you. If your client side code is going to run inside IE then, you can't do that as IE doesn't hook into the Managed JScript. If you are developing a application, which is going to run out of IE, then you can very well use Jscript .Net. WCF duplex channel is not a Jscript thing. It is part of .net BCL and if it works for C#+Vista then it must work for JScript .Net+Vista too. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions 3d Models in VB

  Would it be possible to make a program that converts 3d models in VB There's a bit of a story behind this. I am currently very involved in a Delta Force 2 gaming community. We have completely disected the game and such. The game uses 3di files for its models. Here is the problem: We are wanting to convert models from the older and newer Delta Force Games to DF2. There have been conversions from DF2 to older and newer games, but never the other way becuase they use different versions of the 3di. Is there anyway that a program could be made in VB to convert the files correctly I could supply a 3d file from both games if needed. I'm sure it would be possible if you had the right information at hand... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Loops and counters

  I am trying to make something that will insert data into excel (I already posted this on the VBA forums but no response, but if someone can give me the starting point I can figure out the excel part). Bottom line is I want to insert data in to a column like: vp0001.jpg vp0002.jpg vp0003.jpg vp00XX.jpg etc. until the last row. My question is how can I make a simple counter to generate the numbers 0001, 0002, etc. I also would need one that can generate numbers like 1,2,3 and start with number 2 so I can tell it which excel row to go into. I know the general idea of how to do this but I have never been good with counters and loops. Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To 10 Console.WriteLine(Format(i, "0000" )) ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Display a map showing multiple route points.

  I know that this can be done using yahoo.maps/beta but not yet with Microsoft Virtual Earth…. I have a requirement to display a map that shows the route between a number of points (possibly up to 20) but normally just 8. I will provide to the API the best optimized route around the points – but the API only allows for a driving route between two points. And this would mean printing off maps that show A to B, B to C, C to D etc. Any suggestion if / when this feature will be implemented Also I don’t want to go down the web service route as this is cost prohibitive. Thanks in advance for any suggestions…. If you really want to do this, you can probably override the API code to ac ...Show All

• Visual Basic Hiding the cursor when not on a form

  I have tried the following for hiding the cursor from the desktop: showcursor(false) or system.windows.forms.cursor.hide() both of these only hide the cursor while it is over the form that I am developing. I would like to know if there is a way to hide a the cursor while you are not on the form. Thanks, Tim On a touchscreen system I did some development for this was done by a video driver properties setting that made the mouse cursor disappear after so many seconds of non-use. Have you checked for this feature in the driver you're using Otherwise, it's going to involve some rather tricky low level programming to do this. It may not be worth your while to achieve this cosmetic effect u ...Show All
