• Windows Forms Gridview Sort Arrows

  Anybody know how to set up a gridview so that each column header has an up and down arrow that when clicked would sort that column in that direction I have seen tons of examples of a single image to indicate which direction the current column is being sorted on, but why do that and possibly have to click a column header twice to sort in the desired direction when you can just have an up and down arrow image for each column that reacts to the click event by sorting in that direction It's nice that you have a data controls section, but this topic is not about windows based programming, it is about ASP.Net applications in C# ...Show All

• Visual Basic CheckBox Service control (VB, VS 05)

  I decided to try and expand my project, I now wish to have the (current, I'm adding more as I find out which aren't required ) two processes here's a brief on what stage the additions are at. I have added 4 check boxes named; SpoolCheck1 SpoolCheck2 MDMCheck1 MDMCheck2 (more will be added as I find out more that can be stopped) and two command buttons named; StopCheckedButton StartCheckedButton I would like to 'link' the check boxes to the command buttons, but the checkboxes job (when checked, then clicking the start/stop command buttons) is to start/stop the selected program/process, in this case spool and mdm. I have these codes for starting and stopping the processes and return a message if there is a problem. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Editing tips question regarding (shortcuts keys and fast code editing)

  1- When my cursor is in the middle of a word do you know how I can select that word with shotcut keys. And how can I select a whole line when I am in the middle of that line and I don’t want to use : Home, Shift, End but I want to use some faster keyboard keys 2- Also when I am in the middle of a line and I want to copy the whole line just in the line bellow (without going through the trouble of doing: Home, Shift End with my keyboard….) 3- When we do Cntrl Alt F2 in the VS2003 documentation, we go to the help Index. But sometimes I don t get the focus in the little “Look For ” text box window in order to write my criteria directly. Then I have to go there with the mouse.

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Deployment / MSI Installer

  I'm working on a freeware addon for MS FSX with VB 2005 Express. First question: Is it possible to write MSI installers with VB 2005 Express I'm missing the Setup Project templates (I have a prof. version of VB .NET 2003 but not upgraded to VB 2005 since i don't need it for my work yet). So thought i'd try to use ClickOnce. It publishes fine to my website but when i download and run the published setup.exe all it does is showing the Appname.application XML file in my default browser (tried MS IE 6.0 and FireFox). Shouldn't setup.exe actually download that stuff and install on my local machine or did i understand something wrong Edit I'm using the automatically generated web page for installation, which can be found here: http://www.docmo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I protect my code when distributing it?

  Having read the FAQ. I noticed that in order to share your game creations (and lets face it, you can't get recognised without sharing your games), you need to send the other person the entire uncompiled game. This includes sourcecode, graphics, music, sound etc. etc. They then compile the code and download it to their xbox360 account and then only if they too are on the games creation program. My key worry here is that you send them everything you have just worked incredibly hard to create. Presumably they can then send this stuff on to whoever they please and god forbid, even sell it on! It strikes me that there isn't much incentive to distribute things this way. How is Microsoft going to prevent the above scenario Is there going to be a ...Show All

• Windows Forms datagrid troubles with stored procedure (vs 2003)

• Visual C++ Runtime Library Error

  I'm getting a runtime error/abnormal program termination in Internet Explorer everytime I try to use a chat room. Any suggestions As a mere user of the chat room, you should probably ask for support from the people who run it. The Msdn forums and news groups are meant for developers, not end users. Either way, to deal with your problem you could try to disable all other browser plugins and upgrade your Java runtime (which can be found at www.java.com ). If the problem persists, contact the chatroom operators. ...Show All

• Commerce Server Creating new CS2007 ASP.NET site fails

  The environment is as follows: Two Windows Server 2003 systems, CS2007 and SQL2005 - both in the same domain depending on which adapter is enabled - but the box hosting Commerce Server is in the DMZ. I have CS and SQL2005 configured just fine. I create a new project from VS2005 and it churns, churns, and churns, and eventually the wizard terminates and says something along the lines of "the unpacking process returned an error, see pup.log" so I check Pup.log and the only error there is this: Error importing object data for Transaction Config from file C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\1\Transaction Config 80131501:The transaction has already been implicitly or explicitly committed or aborted.
