• SQL Server Using VB file picker

  What would be the syntax to use the VB file picker in the code section I want to do something like =code.Filename in a parameter. Where this would cause the file picker to open and allow the user to use the standard interface to track down the file. I finally got this to work, but got the following error when the report was deployed. An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot read the next data row for the data set FileList. (rsErrorReadingNextDataRow) Access to the path 'blah_blah.txt' is denied. Of course the file name is not blah_blah *grin*, also it is not a path but an actual file. We are using ODBC to read the contents of the file once it has been chose, but this e ...Show All

• .NET Development NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE no permissions to read private key

  Hi, I've created a web service that uses WSE3 policy to enable message level security and authentication. The symmetric key is encrypted using the server certificate and so the server's private key is needed to get access to the symmetric key in the ws-security header. When IIS is trying to access this private key: the following error is returned: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ><soap:Envelope xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><wsa:Action>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/fault</wsa:Action><wsa:MessageID>urn:uuid:b03b51c1-c68a-4d93-8135-709bdd4c059e</wsa:MessageID><wsa:RelatesTo> ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to Rotate Text in RTF

  Hi Folks, Any RTF experts out there I want to insert a text object that is rotated like what you can do in Powerpoint's text box or Word's Word Art. Unfortunately, when either is saved in RTF, the text content is lost in the raw code, so I cannot do a search and replace on the rotated text. Word only saves the text content if the text box is used with the alignment changed to vertical. Is there any way to create rotated text that is visible in the RTF code I am prepared to insert all the required positioning code myself, if I only knew what was required. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The ultimate RTF expert is Microsoft Word. Start it up, type your text, insert a text box an ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Keeping game graphics the same size over different resolutions

  I implemented a virtual pixel system in Buttermilk to try and keep all the graphics of a game the same size no matter what the preferred back buffer resolution was. Unfortunately, due to accuracy problems with SpriteBatch.Draw's int-based coordinate parameters, cracks keep appearing between my tiles, and tiles sizes shrink / grow depending on how the float coordinate value of the tile translates to the int-based coordinate parameters. I've tried all different kinds of Math routines (Floor on the pos, Ceiling on the Size, Round on everything, etc etc etc) but nothing work as well as it needs to. So, I'm probably going to completely abandon the virtual pixel system. It's just not working at all. But, I still need some way to keep game ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem of installing Visual Web Developer 2005

When done install from the CD, this will also allow you to install it on other machines as well as not having to register or activate t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WebServiceInputActivity parameter binding

  When I define a WebServiceInputActivity to an interface which takes a boolean argument, under the property window arameters field VS does not show a wizard to allow me to bind the value to a member variable. Instead the field becomes a dropdown with "True" and "False" as possible values. How do I bind the boolean input parameter to a member variable Keith, you should be able to double-click the small blue indicator just to the left of the drop down. That will provide you with options to bind to an existing or new member.

• Windows Forms all controls maximize when using maximize button

  I'm currently making a small application and would like users to be able to maximize the window. I've messed with the Anchors a little, but they only sort of work. I have a bunch of multi line text boxes that when they're anchored to all 4 sides they end up expanding over the labels. Is there a way to anchor the multi line text boxes so they don't expand over the labels Thanks in advance. If you want all of the multiline textboxes to expand proportionately to the size of the form, you would have to manually set their sizes using the onResize event of the form. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BVT's without Team System Tester Edition - Possible?

  I'm trying to create a Team Build that will run all my unit tests as part of the build. The problem is though, when going through the wizard it allows me to select the vsmdi file, but there is no test lists available in the drop-down (and since I don't have team tester edition I don't think I can create new test lists). We can still run the tests in our Team Software Dev Edition, is there a way to make a Team Build that will also run all the tests as part of the build process without purchasing Team Tester Edition I tried doing this in my TfsBuild.proj: < MetaDataFile Include = " $(SolutionRoot)\ShopFloorTeamBuild\ShopFloorTeamBuild.vsmdi " > <!-- <TestList>BVTList< ...Show All

• Windows Forms Multi Form Windows Application

  Hello, I'm building my first Windows Application in C#. In my application there are more forms. Each button opens a new form. But that is not usual. What is the best way to handle multi forms I can work with panels; on click button1, show panel1 and on click button2, show panel2, hide panel1 etc.., but then you get all your code in one form. In a web application you can work with frames. The left frame is your menu frame with all buttons, and the right frame the content frame that loads the webpages for example. Is there something like frames or similair for Windows Applications Thanks You can use UserControls. Then just show the user control your interested in. The form contains n ...Show All

• Visual C++ CLR for C++

  I know how to program in c++, however I am very new to CLR. I went through some of the "walkthrough" that Microsoft provides, but I need something a little substantial but yet simple and explanatory. Are there any good online tutorials that teach the basics - such as creating forms, using dialog boxes, basic list controls, menu controls.... Maybe even offer step by step instructions on how to create an application using VS 2005. If someone can point me in the right direction on how to get started I would be a big help Thank You The ones I know about are at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e6w9eycd.aspx & also check the videos at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/a ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating A Helper Thread

  Hello. I'm developing a VS Package that adds 'API level' profiling and debugging. Currently, my API level debugger exists as a stand alone application that implements API call stepping, disable/enable various API calls, and gathering of API call statistics. I interact with threads via a helper thread just like the one that the CLR debugger uses. The helper thread itself runs when the debugged process loads the API dll which is infact a wrapper around the real API dll. Can I designate a thread to be a 'helper thread' and keep it running while all other threads are suspended Target debug applications will be written in C++, however, I hope to find a language independent solution for the VS Package itself. Will ICorDebug help Any other s ...Show All

• Windows Forms inherited forms, overlooking something

  Hi, I'm playing around with inherited forms but I'm somewhat confused. I build a normal Windows Application (vb.net2005) and added a baseform to it. Added some buttons as shown in the Walkthrough and added some code to the button_click events. Finally I builded the project. So far so good. After adding a new inherited form (called testForm) based on my baseform I can add and change properties for the buttons. However the code I added is not there and so when I click the buttons on my testForm nothing happens. Clearly I'm missing something but I don't see what. Anyone Cheers, Frank ...Show All
