• Visual C++ Combo Box Question

  hi I'm making my first 'simple' application to get me started. its the basic windows Form with just a combo box containg just 3 options ' a or b or c ' ok it works fine but how can i make it remember my last selection i mean when i run the application again it shows nothing and you have to select the option all over again. i was wondering that myself and decided to uninstall the 2003 version and download the free version of Ms Visual Studio .NET 2005 (until i can but the pro version) maybe when thats installed i will try again. Programming can be difficult even to the professionals but being a beginner is a constant uphill task with everything i enter resulting in errors so hopefully getting a newer version of Ms Visual Studio .NET ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums personalized command bar disappears when minimizing excel

  This is my first message in this forum, so please be patient. I have programmed a makro for an excel workbook. one part of this makro creates a command bar. when the excel workbook is started i make all the regular command bars disappear, only mine is left. Works wonderful. Well, i have put a button into my command bar to minimize the application. However, when i restore the workbook again from the windows taskbar, my commandbar is vanished, and the normal command bars (like standard and format and also the formula bar) are suddenly there. The command bar is still there but not enabled/visible. The problem exists on many computers and also on differnet excel versions i tried (97, 2000, xp) I do not know if that is a bug or not. Now is it p ...Show All

• .NET Development HTTPListener Speed 25kB/s?

  Hi, I am using httplistener with in a standard way (took the source code from one of the examples on this website), but no matter what I do I can download from it only at 25kB/s when not on localhost. I tried IE, firefox, flashget ad nothing helps. I assume there must be some variable to set like with the max connections on the client side with the service point manager. Can you please point me in some right direction. Thanks This has nothing to do with the max number of connections, First you need to make sure that there is no bandwidth throttling going on. Unlikely - but make sure DO you have enough bandwith Then you need to see how you are really transferring the data. Are you sending the data in small chunks Do you get better ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Smart Device - FileNotFound Exception

  Hi, I am still quite new to C# and especially to smart devices. I have created a simple game and am trying to get it to my device. The game runs just fine when I run the .exe file on my PC as long as my .bmp images are in the same folder. However, when I try to run the emulator or try to run the program once I have moved it onto my device I get a FileNotFoundError if I try to access any of my images. My actually code is quite lengthy. Here is an example line of code that causes the problem: private void pictureBox1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap ( "Bitmap1.bmp" ); } Can somebody let me know if there is a certain way that I need to configure my project so it knows where t ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics in C# - new() cnstraint

  Hello...   I am trying to play a bit with the generics feature of the .Net 2.0 Framework and I ran into this "Problem"   I try to create a Singelton Base-Class, which will create an instance of itself if the instance is accessed. Since I want to create an Instance of <T> inside my generic Base, I need to supply a new() contraint to <T>. This "forces" me to create a public constructor, since that what new() means.  I think the scope of new should not be "public" but  "protected". Protected would allow me to hide the constructor from the outside world, but it would still allow the creation of the class inside the baseclass. Since I am not able to do this, a direct creation of my Bas ...Show All
