• Visual Studio Express Editions Tab Control

  In my VB.net application I have a tab control. In the first tab page I have several buttons. What I want is that when I click on a button a new tab page will be created. So far I have done it. But then I want to add some other controls to this new tab. How can it be done Private Sub Button1_Click Handles Button1.Click Me.tabcontrol.TabPages.Add("Tab name") 'What do I have to insert here End Sub you simply add the controls in the tab controls collection. Example: Me.tabcontrol.TabPages.Add("Tab name") Dim tb as new TextBox() Me.tabcontrol.TabPages("Tab Name").Controls.Add(tb) does this help ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Debug a XB360 project on PC?

  When a project is created as XB360 Game, it can be deployed to the XNA Launcher by press F5, but it is quite annoying even if just change a line of code and test it. Is it possible to debug (or even build release ) a game on both XB360 and PC without project migration Sorry for my poor words. Surely I can set a breakpoint during playing on XB360 and debug, but my goal is develop a "XB360 Game VC# project" and "show" the screen on XB360 or PC freely by selection, without open a new "Window Game project". ...Show All

• .NET Development Target the Framework version and Redirect Assembly Bindings from 2.0 to 1.1

  Dear all, I have encountered a problem of "DragDrop registration failed" problem in my .NET 1.1 dll because of the assembly binding is always going to .NET 2.0. (I realized the related attribute [STAThread], however, there's no Main() in my C# libraries) Therefore I tried to specifiy the runtime version and redirect those bindings in MyModule.dll.config. The binded assemblies, however, are still in .NET 2.0, according to both VS.NET 2003's output log and VS.NET 2005's fuslogvw. Meanwhile, they also logged compiling and linking processes. At that stage, linked assemblies are in version 1.1 correctly. My question is, does it means that configurations of runtime version and assembly binding redirection do not work backwa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom "Project Lead" group can not add users

  I've created a custom Project group called 'Project Leads'. It has every right at the project level except "Delete this project". I've added the Project Lead to this TFS Security group and he is not able to add users to the other Project security groups What other rights does this custom group need in order to add users to this projects security groups Thanks, John In version 1.0 you must be a member of the Project Administrators group or the global Administrators group in order to modify group membership. One way that you can delegate group administration is to create a group in AD, add then add the AD group to the TFS group. Then you can use normal AD permissions to delegate administration of the AD group ...Show All

• SQL Server Package Name Sorting

  SISS packages do not sort by name in BIDS and they do not sort by name when deployed to a SSIS server if choosing to store in sql server. The packages do sort by name when stored in file system. We have more than 100 packages on the server and just could not keep up with the locations. The only thing I can do is to create many folders. But even folders have no way to be sorted. Do I miss something here Try this: http://solidqualitylearning.com/blogs/erik/archive/2005/08/08/1269.aspx Or this: http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp ID=78 (Jasper has updated it to make it work in BIDS as well as SSMS) -Jamie ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reading a Tab Delimited File

  I am working with a database that is used for managing program requirements ie text fields of varying lengths. The database program is capable of exporting data out in the form of tab and comma delimited files. I would like to see an example in vb.net 2003 of how I might be able to loop thru an entire delimited text file line by line isolating each tab delimited field to say a text box or a string variable. My ultimate goal is to be able to write this delimited data to a special spreadsheet application capable of dealing with text block sizes beyond the capability of Excel. So now I am interested in how to manipulate huge delimited text files in vb.net 03. Thanks, Fred Though I do not fully understand what you need to a ...Show All

• Windows Forms MSI with custom action(created vai vs2003) insatll hang on vista

  Hi, I created a window service and msi install file vai vs 2003. I try to install it on vista, it "hang"... If I remove custom action, it will install well. I try to modify custom action type from 1025 to 3073. The insatll progress run failed , too. Does anyone have solution It's my belief that using Installer classes to install Services on Vista won't work if you just double-click the MSI file. That's because even if you an administrator, the custom action calls that install the Service are run with impersonation as a limited user. If I'm correct, I'd expect them to work if you launch the MSI file using the setup.exe bootstrapper AND the setup.exe asks for an elevation pr ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Who has a PPC-6700 Sprint AudioVox Mobile 5 (Can I use GPS?)

  I have the Sprint AudioVox PPC-6700 and I know that it has the built in GPS chipset but everywhere that I search I can not find out how to actually access the API. There are a few of the GPS API references throughout msdn & msdn2 but none have an actual walk through. It is very easy to access the phone API's and contact lists/appointments and whatnot but the GPS is not to be found. As far as the GPS is conserned one could argue that it isn't ment to be programmed or something but the fact is that in all documentation it says that e911 can use the gps and also applications that need your location (such as movie times or resteraunts in your location). I really need to find out how to manage this out even with just a simple quord ...Show All

• Visual Studio Spreading single copies of work product among muliple end products

  Forgive me if this is not the best place to ask this question, but I'm trying to simplify my source control so here goes. I have EIGHT! private label products all based on the same code base and only differing in their personality. Each has its own extremely short main program passing in the resource manager (so that each program can have its own icon on the programs menu) in a call to a common library that does all the work So far, so good. Works great, less filling or is that filing:-) They share a common set of data files and I have program that allows me to edit and publish those files to the appropriate places in the each of the eight projects. I could modify that process for what I'm about to ask but in my development environme ...Show All

• Visual C# Check file signature?

  Is it possible to compare a file's signature to a string Thank you. Evan Mulawski Hi Evan. I'm answering to your post asuming a couple of this... since I'm still not sure of what you want. Most files start with a header. For example, a bmp starts with the BITMAPFILEHEADER. Within this header usually , the first bites are a signature . For example, the BITMAPFILEHEADER start with BM. Anyhow, I assume you will not know what your file contains... so you can't assume that it starts with text. Therefor the answer to your question is " no ". What you can do is convert the string to binary and compare it with the file's first bytes. This is: public bool FileStartsWith ( string signature, string file ...Show All

• Windows Forms foreach(Form f in AllformsOfApplication)

  Hi, searched the forum, found something that wouldn't work, so I'm asking for some help. I'd like to find all forms in my application after clicking on a menu item, so I can do something with all of them. That would be something like: foreach (Form f in AllformsOfApplication) { dosomething(f); } Note: not just the open forms like with Application.OpenForms but something like Application.AllForms (if only it would exist...) Thanks for the help! Take a look at the .resx files, they'll contain the designer generated value of the Text property. Note that the Winres.exe utility uses this to help you to localize your apps. ...Show All
