• Visual Basic How to use serializer.Deserialize with a string?

  I currently use this logic to get xml from a website, and it returns a string. Case System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Dim responseStream As System.IO.Stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream() Dim responseEncoding As System.Text.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 Dim responseReader As New StreamReader(responseStream, responseEncoding) Dim responseContent As String = responseReader.ReadToEnd Return responseContent So it returns a string. Then I need to deserialize it using: Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer( GetType (export_documents_response)) Dim ResponseDocument As export_documents_response ResponseDocument = CType (serializer.Deserialize("c:\file.xml"), export_documents_response) So I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Different Coloured Brushes

  How do I change the brush colour so that each square is different I was thinking of using an array, Dim arrCol() As String = {"Red", "Yellow", "Green"} but string can't be converted to system.brush. I tried Dim arrCol as System.Brushes, but that doesn't work either. So any ideas please. Here's the code, Dim B1 As New Bitmap(146, 92) Dim G1 As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(B1) Dim PB As New PictureBox Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim X, Y, W, i As Integer X = 0 Y = 0 W = 128 For i = 1 To 40 G1.FillRectangle(Brushes.Blue, X, Y, 16, 16) X += 18 If X > W Then X = 0 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Add application-tier to an existing Database-tier

  Hi I have an existing TFS using two servers. one with SQL used and database tier and another one for application tier. My question is: How can I install the application tier on the server with the existing database tier (I want to later configure it as a warm standby). Installation won't go because it recognises the installed database tier. I do not want to uninstall the database and reinstall them both (db and app). thanks This section describes the configuration once the server is installed. The problem is how to install the application tier on a server where the database tier is already installed. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. i need help

  Can anyone help me How do I call a method from a different class The above posters are correct in both their answer and their suggestions that maybe you should take a step back and fine tune your C# development skills before pushing ahead with your game. The question you asked was a valid one, but a very simple one. While XNA has made game development easier, it hasn't removed the need for you to understand development. I worry that you are just going to unnecessarily frustrate yourself trying to learn game development while learning basic development concepts in general. With that said, I don't think it will take you long to get up to speed. You don't need to be a C# expert to make a game with XNA ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Baseless merge No Content changes not auto merging...

  We are trying to do a baseless merge and the conflict resolution comes up and when we select a file that has not conflicts it is not giving us any auto merge option. If we try to do the auto merge all, it fails because it says we cannot merge them because the two files have changes but we verified that they don't. Now if this was one file it would be no big deal but we are talking about thousands of files and there is no way we are going to resolve each file manually....if this is how baseless merging works, how useful is it  Also, when I execute "tf resolve /auto:acceptmerge" I get the following error TF10010: Source control unexpectedly encountered the end of the stream: The char acter was incomplete at stream offset 3841. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Serial port on VB.NET

  Hi, Currently, I am using a VB.NET to generate an interface for the user to update parameter of a PCB board MCU. However, I found that some data might be having a problem while transmitting. Previously, I am using a chrW() to change the transmit data before put into the MyRS232.Write(), however, some data have corrupted or changed while I transmit. The signal show the checksum is wrong while sending the set of data. After I use an oscilloscope to check the signal transmitted. I found out that, when I sent the data is between &H80 to &H9F (&b 100* ****), the signal will change to &H3E (&b 0011 1111). Anyone have any idea why this happened Now the temporary sol ...Show All
