• .NET Development Dynamic compilation with CodeDom to an internal procedure

  I've seen plenty of examples of using codedom with functions like CreateCompiler to produce a new EXE or DLL, in memory or on disk, and then invoke it But is it possible to compile a code snippet which can reference internal functions and classes within my API DLL This would enable me to extend our existing application scripting language to support the .NET language. Lets say you have this (daft) code snippet as a string in memory: function ScriptExec(sParam1 as string) dim x as string x = SaveXMLData("<root><field>" & sParam1 & "</field></root>") if x <> "" then Throw x end if return "ok" end function SaveXMLData is a private or public ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Help with Excel VBA Code

  I am trying to format different spreadsheets. I need the data to be in the same cells for each worksheet. This data is in column A. I need to check to see if DBCS# ( ) is above Tour, and if so insert rows until Tour is in row 175, column A. The problem is that the number after DBCS# is never the same. How can I use an IF statement to make sure that the cell above Tour says DBCS# (whatever the number is) This is the If statement that I tried. If I put DBCS#46 in my IF statement, it will not work because the number after # isn't always 46. If (Range("A174:A174") = "DBCS#") And (Range("A175:A175") = "TOUR") Then GoTo label_177: Else: Do While (Range("A174:A174") <> "DBCS#") And (Range("A175:A175") <> "TOUR") Select ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how to set a thread to run at specific core

  1. is it possible to set a thread to run at specific core. 2. to find number of core using vb.net Using the WinApi it's possible to edit your process afinity mask and to resume threads. However this can actually have highly detrimental effect depending upon the the nature of your application. Windows normally tries to keep a thread running on the processor which initiated it. Afterall, that process is in cache and will be faster rather than to have to do another cache loading on another core. It would be the rare thread that could accomplish anything meaningful with hard affinity unless it was specifically designed to do so. Microsoft recommends the it's better to manipulate process ...Show All

• Visual Basic String without terminator "

  Hi there, I was using an array of chars to take chars from a serial port buffer. But, when I do a cast to a string, for some strange reason, my string becomes something like string="haskjdh Without the last " !! I think this is really strange, did it happen to any of you P.S.

• Windows Forms Columns in DataGridView re-order themselves after build

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 to develop a Windows Forms application. I apologize in advance for including information that may seem irrelevant to my question, but I feel that it might give someone a better idea of how to fix the problem. One of the forms in my application contained a tab control with eight different tabs, each of which contained an individual DataGridView control. The form also contained a table layout panel with 12 labels and 12 text boxes. I created columns for the DataGridViews in the forms designer. The columns each had a value assigned to the DataPropertyName property, which corresponded to a field in a binding source object to which the datagridview could bind at runtime. Each DataGridView set its datasource p ...Show All

• Gadgets How to make ActiveX Callback functioning

  I cannot get the office name control to call back to a jscript eventhandler. (Office 12 installed in my case) The page works well if just rendered in a browser, hoever it does not function when run in a gadget. The thing that fails is that the eventhandler is never called when a buddy chnages state. The callback function is registered by calling the OnStateChange function as shown below. is such a callback not allowed (or only with additional magic ) I'd also appriciate suggestions for debugging this as I am not quite sure how to approach this Jos no that is not working either. MotW only allows me to pusch a page to less priviliges and I seem to be missing some permission. The ActiveX control gets instantiated, the cal ...Show All

• .NET Development PDF Encoding using StreamWrite and StreamReader

  Hi All, I'm looking for the correct Encoding (or method) to read and write PDF files. When I use something like the code below, the generated PDF (Destination.PDF) is not the same as the Source.PDF used. StreamReader objSR = new StreamReader ( @"c:\temp\Source.pdf" , Encoding .ASCII); StreamWriter objSW = new StreamWriter ( @"c:\temp\Destination.PDF" , false , Encoding .ASCII); objSW.Write(objSR.ReadToEnd()); objSW.Close(); objSR.Close(); Thanks in advance! Since PDF can contain binary data and supports multiple encodings, I must once again warn against using anything other than binary access. Just because this is working with some files does ...Show All
