• Windows Forms Opening a second form...

  I have added a new form to my project. However, I don't know how to open it up when I click on a button in Form1. Help me please To show a form you need to use the ShowDialog or Show members. Here's a sample: VB: Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Using form As New YourSecondForm form.ShowDialog( Me ) End Using End Sub C# : private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { using ( YourSecondForm form = new YourSecondForm ()) { form.ShowDialog( this ); } } ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Shared Add-in for Excel 2003 using Visual Studio 2005 Pro

  I try this question here also: Hi! I have problems to get my new Addin up and running through Excel. For some reason it doesn't seem to load to Excel 2003. I am using the integrated Wizard, I am doing like this: New project -> other project types -> Extensibility -> Shared Addin, then i am checking Visual Basic, Excel as host application and that it should load on Application launch. Then i try to run the addin, whilst i have a break point on Onconnet method. But for some reason it doesn't stop there, and the addin isn't visible from Excel. I have tried to make an add-in for Visual Studio itself, via the Visual Studio addin template, and that works fine. Do anyone have any suggestions ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Is it possible to build a Media Foundation Audio DSP Plugin?

  Has anyone successfully built a Media Foundation based Audio DSP Plugin which is able to process protected media I have heard rumors that it is not possible. Nick is kind of right... If we allowed anyone to write such a DSP, then it would gain access to the content and they could do whatever they want with it. However, it is possible to get licensed to write MF Transforms to run in the Protected Environment. There's some process to go through with MS (which I can tell you about if you think you're going to want to do this... let me know) to get your code signed such that it will be able to process protected content. It is, however, true that anyone can write a DSP plugin that will do stuff on clear ...Show All

  I followed every point shown on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2ac08ee2(vs.80).aspx On my machine with WinXP prof, VS2005, addin works fine. But on the other machine (test machine, WinXp Prof, VSTOruntime, Office 2003 prof, O2003PIA, .NET FW.2.0) is didn't want to start.

• Visual Basic For Each Statement

  I am using For Each ctrl As System.Windows.Forms.TextBox In Me.Controls ctrl.Multiline = True Next It gives an error saying Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Textbox'. I do have a LinkLabel on my form but why is it even trying to cast it The statement should only look for objects of type System.Windows.Forms.Textbox, right Thank you for your help. Troy L this is the correct way of doing so below, remember, a Control container/collection will only accept the Control object when iterating through the collection: for each ctrl as Control in Me.Controls if TypeOf(ctrl) Is TextBox then Dim theTextBox as TextBox = ctrl 'do your operation on the text ...Show All

• Architecture C# or C++?

  Hello, First I apologize if this is not the correct forum for my question, I thought this came closest. For many years I programmed C++ and am now learning C# but I still wonder why I do not start with Visual C++...;-) My main question is: what is the essential difference between C# and Visual C++ concerning their goal applications Where would I rather use Visual C++ and not Visual C# Are low level array handlings in Visual C# as fast as in Visual C++ I studied some Internet articles but still it is unclear to me. Just like to hear from an expert... regards, Henk For the most part an application can be written in C# or C++ or C++/CLI (managed C++). It depends mostly ...Show All

• .NET Development VS2005 - XSD file created - Can VS2005 create code automatically?

  Hi all, if this is a stupid question or not directed to this forum, please redirect me to the correct one. I went to Solution Explorer and I created a new item (dataset). I opened Server Explorer until I found the table that I want to access and modify. I then dragged the table in question into the design view of the xsd file. I can see the table represented in the design view, does VS2005 is able to create the class code automaticaly If not, what is the purpose of creating the xsd file Thanks and sorry for the possibly idiotic question, Luis Miguel Pinho To generate the class code, you may use XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe) from the .NET Framework SDK.

• Windows Forms Unable to replicate Windows Volume dialog using .NET 2.0

  I'm trying to create a form like the one that you see when you single-click the volume icon in the status notification area (aka system tray), but I'm running into a couple issues. First off, I can't seem to get a trackbar to display without tick marks and with the both style, in order to accomplish the rectangular slider bar without tick marks. These are separate setable properties in the Win32 world, but they've been lumped together for WinForms. Anyone know any workarounds Secondly, I'm unable to create a form with that small of a width. Initially, the form designer wouldn't let me enter a width below 123 for the form, even with the control bar turned off and the caption bar hidden altogether (Text = ""). This doesn't se ...Show All

• SQL Server error configuration

  I want to use custom error configuration for a single dimension. When I set the error configuration properties for a single dimension in Visual Studio, process this dimension and process the cube then the custom error configuration settings are ignored.

Thanks for any reply. > I still get a key not found error (for this dimension ...Show All

• SQL Server How to compare SQL server stored procedures from two separate databases?

  Is there a straight forward way or a tool to compare SQL server database objects, such as stored procedures located in separate databases Well, the way that I always do it is to use the RedGate SQL Compare tool. www.red-gate.com . It works very nice and will compare everything, including permissions. There are other ways, and Buck Woody (who I have seen around the forums) has an article here that covers it pretty well: http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp g=sqlserver&seqNum=210&rl=1 ...Show All
