• Windows Forms DataGridView - Copy only selected text

  Hi there. I am having an annoying problem with a DataGridView not linked to any database; I save/load to/from a simple XML file. (Using VSNet 2005 release version - developping in VB.NET) When editing a cell's content, highlighting a portion of text and pressing CTRL-C, the complete cell content is copied to the clipboard. Is there an easy way to only have the selected text copied on CTRL-C I know that I can achieve this by right-clicking on the selection and selecting copy, but for speed, I would like to use the CTRL-C method. Also, why is that when I press SHIFT-SPACE, the complete line is selected Thanks for the help, Zolt I can't help but I would like to ask if the problem of ...Show All

• .NET Development Why doesn't my C# form show the contents of the database?

  Hi All, I'm using VC2005 in C# trying to create a windows app that displays the contents of the tutorial northwind.mdb.

• Visual Basic Newbie help with collections VB.NET

  Hi all, I Hope this is the right forum. I'm new to the .Net world... taking my first class and just getting my feet wet. Overwhelmed might be an understatement...

I'm having trouble adding the user input to the collection.

• Visual Studio Express Editions serial port and chr(0)

  I am a beginner (in VB Express) but reasoanbly experienced in various assembler languages. I tried the "UsingTheSerialPort" example in the 101 examples collection and ran into the following problems: 1. In the original format an error is generated as soon as data (entered in the text box) are sent: conflicting threads. This stops when the textbox for displaying received data is removed and the data is read into a string that is displayed in a message box (another thread I should think.... ) 2. Instead of text entered in the textbox for "Send data" I wrote a string. The string "TEST" works fine but as soon as (and that is what I want....!) I send a string like" sStr = chr(&H00)&chr(&a ...Show All

• Visual Studio SKU011.CAB solution

  Go into Registry Editor (Start, Run, "regedit"). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Office, 11.0, Delivery. There should be only 1 directory under Delivery, which is your DownloadCode (mine was 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9). Select that directory. On the right side of the screen, right-click on CDCache. Change the value to 0. honestly works with out a hitch. I followed your directions but was unsuccessful!! There is as you indicate only 1 directory under delivery but the number differs from yours - however on the right side of the screen under DownloadCode that number is the same as yours. I am puzzled as I was under the impression the directory under Delivery would be the same as the number on t ...Show All

• .NET Development DataRow DateTime value is incorrect

  I am running into a strange problem with DataRows where the date time is being returned incorrectly. I have a SQL 2K DB that contains a DateTime column 2008-02-11 00:00:00 000, but when it is returned in the DataRow the value displays as< 02/10/2008 9:00AM >. Anyone else run into this problem Thanks for the prompt reply. The test case does not build the DataRow programmatically, rather reads the values from XML into a DataSet. It then iterates through the DataTables and then compares the DataRows in each table. AFAIK the XSD definies the column data type, should I be doing something else in this case < xs:element name ="ins_DateTime" type ="xs:dateTime" minOccurs ="0 ...Show All
