• Visual Basic Change filename when new year

  I want to change the filename of my .aspx -file from Mypage2006.aspx to Mypage2007.aspx at a special date (when its 2007-01-01)..... (And when ist 2008, Mypage2007.aspx should be Mypage2008.aspx and so on...) I will do this from the code behind-file Mypage2006.aspx.vb..... Someone know how to do that you place the code where you want the operation to run in your application. Again im pretty sure that the idea you have will not work in ASP.NET but rather more of a Winforms application running in the background or a background service. Or even create a Windows scheduled task running a batch file to rename the file. you can ask more about this to see if it will run in an ASP.NET application, ...Show All

• Visual C++ Template Selection Visual C++ 2005

  Keyword C++ Template Matching Selection I thought in many circumstances the more specialized template is chosen. So the actual template selection by the great compiler seems contrary to my expectation. This concerns overloading the operator = via templates in a C++ class.

I want to manually write these templates for the educational value. (template frenzy).( I dont want use boost::lamda ... just yet). Other metrics being equal ..

Thanks, Dave Is qryAllUsers a String containing the SQL select query text, or is it a QueryDef object RecordSource expects to be passed a String, not a QueryDef.

• Visual Basic Excel Functions within VB

  Hey, I'm using the PMT function in excel and in VB 2005. Basically what I'm doing is trying to make my loan calculator an actual program, instead of always having to write everything out within an excel spreadsheet. I have all the needed information and I thought that my VB code was correct, and according to all the help files I can find they are. However the number I get from the function in my VB program is wrong. I'm not sure why the answer is different if all the inputs are the same in both the program and the spreadsheet. Thanks for the insight. Here's my code for the PMT Function in my program, incase you need to see it: MonthlyLoanPayment = -Pmt((InterestRate / 12), Math.Round(MonthsWithoutMedicaid), LoanedAmount) Azrael ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form wont BringToFront

  Howdy, I have a notify icon that opens a window. To open the window you can either click 'Open' in the icons context menu or just double click on the icon. The menu option is fine, but whenever I use the double click feature, the window opens but doesn't come to the front and doesn't have focus. It must be something with the second mouse click releasing focus but I have no idea how to right this.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Now that D3D10 hardware is available...

  ... has anyone actually been able to run their own programs using only publicly available resources The October SDK requires Vista RC1, which I'm currently using. Seems that they made some DDI changes in Vista RC2 such that it is no longer compatible and the latest publicly available drivers from Nvidia seem to be for RC2 only (makes sense). Even then, I have no idea if these RC2 drivers actually enable D3D10 on their new GeForce 8800 hardware. I doubt any archived RC1 drivers have the necessary parts (can anyone confirm ) nor would any "in box" default drivers. I presume various developers have been using GeForce 8800 hardware behind closed doors for a while, but they'll have access to Nvidia's developer relations te ...Show All
