• Visual Basic VB App crashing when run directly from IE

  Hello, I have just written my first VB application so there is lots I don't know. I have tested it on a number of PCs and it works fine. I have uploaded the application to some webspace for others to download. My problem is that when the IE prompt "Do you want to run or save this program" is shown if I choose "run" the program just crashes. If the program is saved to a folder and then run it seems to work fine. The error message is something along the lines of: EventType : clr20r3 P1 : exchange2003imfkeywordmanager[1] P2 : 1.0.0.0 P3 : 45bd1a49 P4 : exchange 2003 imf keyword manager P5 : 1.0.0.0 P6 : 45bd1a49 P7 : f P8 : c6 P9 : system.invalidoperationexception Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiple application instances

  Hi, How do I stop multiple instances of the same application running.

• Visual Studio Express Editions concatenate differing field types into single column datagridview

• Windows Forms Console Output from a Windows Form

  I have a windows form program which also includes a command line interface to a few of its features. When command line options are pased to the program the GUI is not displayed, and the command line code is properly excuted. However none of the output to the console appears. I was able to get the console output to be displayed by having Visual Studio 2005 compile my program as a console app instead of a windows app, but this causes a console window to be opened when you run just the GUI portion of the program. Is there anyway I can get the console output to appear without having this console window opened with my program when running the GUI part In the console window that the program was run from. ...Show All

• .NET Development FTP w CF 2.0

  Hi all, I am getting an odd error during an FTP. It happens completely randomly. I can sometimes ftp 50 files with no error, and other times 2 errors in a row with the same files.

• SQL Server Express & RDA?

  We have a .NET Internet (VB and javascript) inventory application that uses SQL Server 2005. Users have requested a version of the application that would allow them to update their data offline. Ideally we would download a version of the application to the user's desktop (with .NET and IIS configured) and have the application logic connect to a local version of the database. I was excited to find that RDA would be adequate to handle the data extract and update that would be required to use a local database. However, the Compact Edition does not support Stored Procedures and connections from ASP.NET applications. The application logic is complex and a lot of it is implemented in the data access layer via stored procedures. There are about 1 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Changing screen resolution with VB 2005

  I'm having a difficult time converting a Windows API call that works fine in VB6 to run in VB 2005 (Windows XP with SP2 in both cases). I reduced the problem code down to its core which is below. I'm trying to change the screen resolution with the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx call; the idea is that on entering the program it shifts to high resolution and at the end it restores the original settings. I left the restore part out because I get the same error. Which is "An invalid parameter was passed in. This can include an invalid flag or combination of flags." I'm trying to use exactly the same parameters, but somewhere in the conversion process from VB6 a fatal change crept in. My guess is that it's either in the ByRef/ByVal or Short/ ...Show All

• SQL Server How to do multi-row insert?

  Folks, forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but I can't find anything about this on MSDN or Google. I'm new to SQL Server, my background is DB2. I'm working on porting an existing open-source PHP application ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/gallery ) to use SQL Server as a backend. The Gallery application has a multi-row INSERT statement that (AFAIK) works on all other RDBMS, but fails on SQL Server. I can reproduce it easily with: create table ljmtemp (col1 int, col2 int, col3 int, col4 char(20) insert into ljmtemp values (6565,0,2,'scale|654'), (6566,0,2,'scale|654'), (6567,0,2,'scale|654') Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server CS288290-A\SQLEXPRESS, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near ','.
