• Visual Basic Changing the Font of an Excel Cell from Visual Basic

  Hi This is my first post so sorry if it is in the wrong place. I have written a Program in Visual Basic 2005 that extracts information from an SQL Database and puts it into an excel spreedsheet. This all works fine, but what i now want to do is change part of the input so that it is displayed in bold in the cell with the rest being displayed in normal font, to produce something like this Processor: Intel Celeron M 370 1.5GHz all in 1 cell This is the current code: cell = DescriptionCol & Row oExcel.Range(cell).Value = oExcel.Range(cell).Text & ( "Processor: " ) oExcel.Range(cell).Value = oExcel.Range(cell).Text & (thistable.Rows(y).Item( "CPU Type" ) & " " ...Show All

• .NET Development Executing Native Code From A Managed Thread

  Hi -- I'm about to reread the Geoff Schilling/Dave Stutz book -- which, now that I know what I need to learn from it, will be much more meaningful and useful to me than when I read it the first time, But before I do I thought I would ask one basic question that you guys might be able to inform me about. I'm wondering if it is possible and easy and done fairly routinely to call unmanaged code (that makes, for example, extensive use of Thread Local Variables) from within a managed thread without having to do a thread context switch in some way to an unmanaged thread Don't I remember that there is some kind of managed environment stack frame that allows you to do this And if so, does the managed environment place any significant limitat ...Show All

• Visual C++ Binary

  I am using VS 2005 standard edition. I am sending and receiving data via RS232 using an application that I written in C++. The data is ascii but I want to see a binary representation in order to analyse it completely. I am reading the data received into a text box. Is there a standard method of converting the ascii data in the text box into its binary representation Could you give me some help on the code please. For example, I have made a small test application that accepts text into textBox1 and then on a button press copies the text into textBox3. private : System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { txtBx3->Clear(); String^ myString = gcnew S ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to access form controls from outside the form class

  Hello, I have got a question that I believe must be quite basic. I am currently working on a project that involves developing an application on a PDA using .Net Compact Framework 2.0 in C#. Here is my problem: After performing the InitializeComponent(), I have to enable many device features such as its barcode scanner, battery status trigger.... . In order to well seperate the view with the buisiness logic, we would not like to write all these "device initialization" codes in the form class but in separate classes. The problem is that some of these initialization methods require to access a form control (e.g. the scanner should display the barcode it reads in a textbox, the battery status should be displayed in a label...).

• Visual C# while (true)... need help!!

  I thought I knew quite a lot about programming but when I came accross a bit of code like: while (true) { ...do something... } I had no idea how this works... I know that it's a conditional loop and while it is true it loops through performing whatever tasks there are to do... BUT what is the (true) part how does that work if it loops while(true) what would make it false since it's not a local variable or anything and you cant say IsRunning = false; it just always is true... Does it mean that while app is still running or something... That's the only solution I can come up with is that it means while( app is running){...}... Am I right Can someone please take the time to explain this to me and maybe give me the proper name for referring ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) EMF or WMF export

  Hi together, we are currently evaluating WPF for our application. I have read in the forum that WPF doesn't support metafile (WMF or EMF). Currently our application plots a graph (with GDI+) which is exported as EMF to a spreadsheet control for reporting. This spreadsheet control can be printed so that the user has a report in paper format. The spreadsheet control (oldstyle OCX) doesn't support XAML so how can I generate an EMF file with WPF - is there really no way to do that Is this a no-go criteria for WPF in our application Thanks in advance Cheer, Franz Michael Swanson has a format conversion utility competion going here http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2006/08/29/729501.aspx Of course that ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Cannot delete infopath forms from Form library

  Hi, Our requirement is as follows. We have 2 form libraries "Saved Forms" and "Submitted Forms". Both the form libraries have a common infopath template. when the user saves the form, the form gets saved in "Saved Forms" library. when he clicks on discard button, the form should get deleted from "Saved Forms" library and then it should get saved to "Submitted Forms".

The event handler provides item level permission i.e user can see only those forms which he has ...Show All

• SQL Server RS2005: ReportManager and Forms Authentication : The report server is not responding

  Hi, Sorry for the long post but I'll try to give a maximum of information. I've tried to implement Form Authentication for Reporting Services. Right now, just about everything works as I would hope for, i.e.: When I try to access http://<server>/ReportServer$SQLSERVER_2005 , I am redirected to the authentication form. When successfully authenticated, I can access the report I can display reports throught the ReportViewer Web control by passing the authentication cookie. Etc. (Note: My implementation of Form Authentication was inspired by http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/26759/0/page/1 which seems similar to Microsoft Sample) (The $SQLSERVER_2005 suffix is because SQL Server 2000 is also installed on the s ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Components not appearing in Toolbox

  When I create a Component it isn't appearing in the Toolbox. Is it normal, because Game Studio is still in beta, or what When you add a component to the project it will appear on the toolbox after you compile the application. In the case of releaseing a component inside a classlib you can add it to the toolbox by right clicking on the toolbox and selecting 'Choose Items'. This will take you to a dialog that will allow you to add the component. When doing this you do not have to add a reference to your project as it will automaticly create it when you go to use the component. Also doing it this way will mean that the component will be in your toolbox from then on. Hope this helps. ...Show All
