• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 - Compositing Operations (C.O.)

  Hello Community! I'm quite new in VB (just since November06 ) and I'm looking for a fast way to overlap greyscale bitmaps in VB2005 (i.e. for every pixel R=G=B). I tryed to use the alpha-blending tchnique but it doesn't fit my porpouses (after I perform the C. O. the overlapping region is darkned). I would like the overlapping process to be a lightening process (the resultant color is always at least as light as either of the two costituent colors). In particular overlapping any color with white should produce white. Overlapping any color with black should leave the original color unchanged. I found an interesting program in VB6 that seems to to that http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/vbMedia/Image_Processing/Compositing/arti ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question about labeling the controls the same name .....

  Hello. I remember in old versions of Visual Studio where if you name more than one controls the same name, VS asks you if you want to index them. Well, I'm using VS2005, and it says "A control with that name is already used" .. It never asks about indexing them. So, in VS2005, how would I go about indexing the all the controls I want the same name to be Hi, I guess you could have an array of a control as in my 1st answer at.>> http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1064740&SiteID=1 however they would all start with the same name and be indexed with an array index eg. myButton(0) myButton(1) and so on.

• Smart Device Development GPRS Issue with WebService calls

    Dear guys ... we have an application running on Windows Mobile 5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 2.0. The application makes some web service calls. The issue we are having is that when a web service call is made, it doesn't detect the GPRS automoatically. What we have to do is go to IE and open some website that enables the GPRS and after that the application starts making web service calls via GPRS automatically. Is there a way to make the web service call detect GPRS automatically. I heard that NETCF does have support for web services and the underlying http object automatically connects/disconnects from gprs networks when it is used.

• Windows Forms Creating”alert” when new file arrives

  Hello! I hope this is the proper forum for this. Every day a computer sends out new files to a certain folder in my computer. I am to check these files when they arrive, ASAP. However they come within a one hour window. This means that I have to check my folder every five minutes during the waiting time if I want to be able to check the files as they arrive. Therefore I would like to make some form of “alert” that notifies me when new files arrive in my folder, preferably but necessarily using audio. Is this possible If so how can you do it Any help very much appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance! I know I can minimize the window showing the folder and just have it at the corner of my screen but that is not very convenient as I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer as a Team Foundation client?

  Hello, I have installed the .NET Framework 3.0 June CTP technology stack I have have been playing around with various stuff. I created a XAML (Web Browser Application) project in Visual Studio 2005 and then opened the same project in "Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer". I feel this is a great piece of functionality as designers are potentially no longer "second class team" members and have a toolset that integrates with what the developers are using. However, the thought occurred to me that what happens if your source control is in a Team Project residing on a Team Foundation Server Will Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer be able to connect to Team Projects If not, I feel this defeats the point o ...Show All
