• Visual Studio Express Editions How to count the number of CheckBoxes Checked

  Is there a way to count the number checkboxes that have been checked on a form and when a certain number as been reached disable any remaining checkboxes Regards LVB This alteration of Manan's code should work for counting checked boxes: Dim i,count As Integer For i = 0 To Form1.Controls.Count - 1 If TypeOf Form1.Controls(i) Is Checkbox AndAlso Ctype(Form1.Controls(i), Checkbox).Checked Then count++ End If Next If there's a huge number of checkboxes involved, I'd put in the check to see if count exceeded the value you were checking for, but it is not necessary if you're just looking at 20 or so controls.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Default project templates vanished

  Hello, after installing the XNA Framework, the standard project templates for Visual C# 2005, like Console Application, Class Library etc. vanished from the list to choose from, when i try to create a new project. Is there a way to get those project templates back to that list Markus I've had the same problem. It seems to be language related.

• Visual Studio Execute target when (core)compile will execute

  Hello, there must be a simple solution for this silly question, yet I cannot find it. I want to execute a target before compilation only when compilation will occur, i e when corecompile has been determined to execute (ie dependencies have been updated) then I want my target to execute before compilation. If corecompile does not run, I do not want my target to run either. So, is there a hook before corecompile is run after it has been determined that it will run Or is there a simple property that expresses the inputs / outputs used so that I can use the same dependencies /mawi As you say, that will in many situations be a problem, since the build process will then involve editing files in the framework. ...Show All

• Windows Forms IComponentChangeService.ComponentChanged doesn't fire

  Hey. We have a little problem regarding <subj>: we have a DesignerSurface and a propertyGrid to show the data on a selectedObject (IComponents, as the case may be). Upon changing a property value in the PropGrid - the IComponentChangeService.ComponentChanged event fires, but when changing a property normally in code (either from glyphs or from "external" code) - the event doesn't fire. Is this by design I saw in the reflector that normal (internal) glyphs do not change properties directly but call on a PropertyDescriptor.SetValue(). Is this the only way to get this to work (I should mention that I talk about properties of existing classes, and I cannot add the RefreshPropertiesAttribute hardcoded, or (as it ...Show All

• Visual Basic printing a hard copy

  So i have an app that has text boxes, labels, and comboboxes. the program populates a database. What i need to do now is Print a hard copy of the data (from a command button on the form) and send an email to someone (through Outlook).. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this Thanks. Ian. yup thats the problem - the code snippet in the documentation was just a sample. So it was reading a text file, and now you are reading a file (same effect). you need to not read a file but instead read the textbox: so instead of this:   While count < linesPerPage line = streamToPrint.ReadLine() If line Is Nothing Then Exit While End If yPos = ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Confused, what is the relation between MSDTC timeout and System.Transaction Option?

  What I seem to be seeing is that when I create a System.Transaction with: transactionOptions.Timeout = new TimeSpan (0) but keep the COM+ Explorer MSDTC timeout at 60sec it timesout at 60secs. I don't have have Enterprise Services attribs on my code. What's happening or am I just going mad! Hey pkr2000, There must be some action occurring that is causing transaction management escalation. System.Transactions timeout in the Options object is used by the System.Transactions Transaction Manager. This TM is local to the process. The MSDTC timeout of course applies to the MSDTC TM. When a transaction is promoted and management is escalated from the System.Transactions TM to the MSDTC TM you use the MSDTC timeout in addi ...Show All

  Hi! Is it possible to use teamed network adapters for Principal and Mirror in a quorum I need to use a VLAN networkconnection in order to setup a Synchronized Database Mirror with Witness session.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Options for Updating Excel displayed thru Excel Web Access ?

  I'm developing a dashboard which contains some graphs surfaced through Excel Web Access. This works great. However, is there a way of updating the Excel data without going into Excel (e.g. via a synchronized SharePoint list or by using infoPath) so I have more control over the UI I'm really looked for a code free solution so I don't have to worry about maintenance and deployment issues in the future, and so power users can also use the same method for their own sites. You have a couple options: Use Excel as you mentioned... easy, but it adds an extra step to your workflow (open in Excel, edit manually, resave). Keep the data in a database (the SharePoint list scenario you mention). If you use ...Show All
