• Smart Device Development code signing questionS!!!

  I'm developing applications for pocket pc running windows mobile 5 for employees in the company. The ultimate goal is to prevent the employees from installing other software on the machine other than ours. So we heard that code signing an application force the environment to look for the matching certificate on the machine. The app will not run if it doesn't have the right key signed to it. Since it's for our own company, M2M certificates is not ideal because of cost and deployment. So we decide to create our own certificate. So on my application I created a .pfx file in VS2005. I signed my app and installed it on my 1-Tiers PocketPC. it works. So next i try to create a certificate from my .pfx. I export/generate a .cer file with microsoft ...Show All

• Visual Basic No editor for ".vb" in VS2005 Beta2

  Hi, I have received the VS2005 Beta2 DVD from Microsoft last week, installed it, and it worked fine for a couple of days. Then I went to the .resx file to edit some resource for the project. I then come back to open the .vb file and there it goes, the editor is replaced by a "Catastrophic Error" page  (not an error dialog box) sayiong something is wrong with the VB editor. I quit the IDE and reopen, then reload the vb project up. Quite unusual it starts up with the .resx file and not the .vb file as usual. I then double click on the .vb file from the solution explorer, and then an error box came up: There is no editor available for 'C:\path\somefile.vb' Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.

• Visual Basic semitransparent control.

  Is there any way to create a semitransparent control on a form I have looked in various newsgroups and can't find a definite answer about this. I would like to create e.g. a control on that is 50% opaque that allows other controls and the form itself to show through. I have tried various style setting (SupportsTransparentbackcolor), Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent amoung others and can't get it to work. The paint event handler code is Dim brush as New SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(127, 255, 0, 0)) g.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, 0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height) brush.dispose No matter what I have tried, the controls lying behind the rect do not show through. I actually have labels that seem to have working transparancy, but I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Linking Two Forms and linking an About Box

  Hi, Question 1: I have created a form that is a main window, right. I also added another form using the "Add New Item" method. I want to be able to display the second form, Form 2, when I click on an item under a toolbar menu. How would I be able to do this without writing a lot of code. (Writing code for every setting I want to change) Question 2: I also had an "About Box" that I created the same way that I did with the first question. I want to do the same thing as the first question. Show that box without typing a lot of code, when I click on an item under a toolbar menu.

• Visual Basic Validate textstring as DateTime

  Hello , Can this be done in VB2005Xpress Form elements: one TextBox, one Label (TextBox is used to receive Birthdate input, Label displays "<1", "1" "the age which is calculated from Today's Date - Birthdate" or " "). The age formula and the If statement for "<1", "1", "age" and " " is done. Here the TextBox is the choice for Birthdate entry. It is the most cost effective.

• SQL Server Cast from string to date

  I created an SSIS package that pulls in legacy data from a DB2 AS400. There is an In Date field that is stored on the AS400 as OdbcType.Date or DATE. However, when I use SSIS to pull in the data, SQL wants it to be a string so I gave up and let SQL have it's way. Now in my SELECT statement, I have this: SELECT TLMST.TLNUMBER, TLMST.DOGNAM, BRDMST.BRDesc, TLMST.INDT FROM TLMST INNER JOIN BRDMST ON TLMST.BRDCOD = BRDMST.BreedNumber WHERE (TLMST.INDT >= @startdate) AND (TLMST.INDT <= @enddate) ORDER BY TLMST.INDT, TLMST.TLNUMBER Because I see the dates stored in TLMST are yyyy-mm-dd format, this is not working. It is not pulling any records. I tried to use the CAST statement but I keep getting errors about c ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with SBE Business Contact Manager

  I'm not sure if this is the correct place but I'm stuck! I installed MS SBE 2003 w/ business contact manager and for about a week it worked well. Then funny things started happening. I got to the point where the business task menu pull down menu (from within Outlook 2003) was not even showing up! The contact manager that is under the same window as the regular contacts would only display the name of the contact but nothing else stating that the Business Contact Manager was unable to Initialize this Form. Ouch! That sucked. So, I backed up everything I could think of (exported all bits and pieces of my Outlook to individual PST files and copied those to my external drive. Then I attempted to uninstall MSO SBE which worked sort of. It ...Show All

• Visual C++ warning C4273: 'MyClass::MyMethod' : inconsistent dll linkage

  Hi -   I'm cleaning up some code and would like some feedback on link warning C4273. Here's the scenario... I'm referencing unmanaged code in a C# win app via a C++/CLI wrapper. The wrapper wraps an unmanaged Win32 dll. So I have 3 apps - MyCSForm.exe, ManagedWrapper.dll, unmanaged.dll (and .lib).

The unmanaged.dll also has its classes declared with __declspec(dllexport). I reference the unmanaged.lib in my linker. The ManagedWrapper.dll is inclu ...Show All
