• Visual C# Finding controls on a web form

  I'll set out the pattern for you. I am writing a method - purpose unimportant but the location I think is important. The method is based in a user control, this control is on a web page that also inherits from a Master page. I am trying to find a control that is on a different user control that is in the same web page. I have tried various routes of the Page.Controls collection and using the FindControl method always returning me a null. If I understood the heirarchy better I could probably find it. Page.Parent is returning null. Page.Controls[0] appears to be the base page It's probably Page.Controls[0].Controls[a reference to my usercontrol in question].FindControl("control"); So far though I haven't found it :) ...Show All

  I need a regex pattern that can be used to extract urls from the clipboard. Clipboard data could be text, html or rtf even. Possibly three different patterns Any ideas Anyone done this sort of thing before There are so many problems of course, for example invalid characters in url, url cant start with a hyphen, but can contain a hyphen etc. All of these need to be matched! http://www.url.com http://url.com url.com www.url.com (and each one could be += /file/file.html) try this: Regex theRegexURL = new Regex( "(([a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z+\\-\\.]*:) /{0,2}[0-9a-zA-Z;/ :@&=+$\\.\\-_!~*'()%]+) (#[0-9a-zA-Z;/ :@&=+$\\.\\-_!~*'()%]+) " ); If (theRegexURL.IsMatch( theUrlInput )) { // ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I use POSIX threads in a atl STA project

  I have a library which uses pthreads inside of it. Can I use this library safely in a single threaded apartment project. If I can't what are my options . I want to use this library for building a com component. Thanks I wrote my component a little bit. This component use the C library to send HTTP messages. e.g. myComponent.Send("HTTP data"); Send() method uses the C library internally. The C library method should block until the response arrives and give me the response. The problem is that if the response take a long time to come the method just returns even before the response arrives. If the response arrives quickly it will capture the response. What could cause this kind of a problem. Actually this com component is a d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Numbers and date format in Visual Studio Reports (.rdlc)

  I am using an english version of visual studio 2005. I am from a spanish spoken country (CHILE!). Until now when I program, I can change the format of numbers and dates to the formats use in my country. The problem is that I need to format numbers in the reports (reportviewer) that I create in visual studio. The reports are in the format .rdlc. I need that the numbers have as a decimal separator a comma (,) and as a number separator of thousands a period (.). In the case of date format, instead of showing the report the day "Monday, 12 of Febrary", I need to appear the name "Lunes 12 de febrero". How can I do this in my reports since I have a english version of the program Thanks in advance Mike ...Show All

• .NET Development Seek suggestion on .NET support options

  Hi everyone, Does anyone out there have some recommendation(s) regarding alternative forums for discussion / questions / answers about .NET programming, C# development, etc It's great to have the MSDN forums, but, the "oracle is not always in", and I find that more of my questions go unanswered than not...(I do try to form my questions as well as I can, and try to be aware of the proper etiquette, read faqs beforehand, etc...I think the problem is simply that most of the problems I've had a genuinely quite obscure, ...for example, I've got a problem right now with a bizzare compiler error messsage ('assembly /../..longpath/xyz.dll must be strong signed in order to be marked as a prerequisite') which is fatal to the build proc ...Show All

• SQL Server Multi Value Parameters

  I just created a report with 2 parameters and it works fine. If I change one of them to MV it still works but if I pick 2 values I get a message about a problem with the "," - Incorrect syntas near ',' Is this a known problem or is it something I'm doing. Is a problem is there a fix for it. YOu habe to change your query after changing the parameter type, as your query probably look like WHERE SomeColumn = @MyParameter which will evaluate in a MV-Parameter to WHERE SomeColumn = 'A','B' This is not valid SQL. Therefore you to write your query like the one below. WHERE SomeColumn IN (@MyParameter) That should work for you and your value list. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www. ...Show All

• Visual Basic A Few Questions (VB, Studio 05)

  I have a couple of questions, I've used the "service control" tool to control spoolsv and a few other non-essential system processes(starting and stopping) I'm using the following code; in this case I'm using the spoolsv code. StartSpool.ServiceName = "Spooler" StartSpool.Start() Is there a way of adding an If/Else to error handle As when one of the processes is already stopped and I click the "stop spool" button it crashes the application and (for me) causes an extreme slow down on my pc for a few minutes. I would like to know if its possible to add a message box, if the process is not running. Further to this, is it possible to use checkboxes to select items, then through 1 command b ...Show All

• SQL Server article row filter - 2 parameters

  hello, i need to filter an article based on a user-supplied datetime filter (the datetime parameter is specified by the subscriber just before replication). at the same time i need to filter again by user (different subscribers get different rows). i already did the user-based filter using HOST_NAME( ). but the difficulty here (al least i think so) lies in passing 2 parameters to the filter. i cannot rely on using SUSER_SNAME to pass the user filter, because no one will want to create 500 user accounts. so i guess the only solution here is to pass both parameters using only HOST_NAME( ) and then write 2 splitting functions which uses HOST_NAME( ) as its parameter. am i right publisher/distributor is sql server 2005, all subscribe ...Show All
