• Visual Basic Form object resizing

  Hi there everyone, Something is baffling me here.  I'm trying to code a resize event to ensure correct placement of my controls whenever the form is resized.  I have a picturebox control that I wish to fill the screen but leaving a gap, of around 3, either side.  At the bottom of the form I have a textbox control (txtCallsign) that I intend to keep fixed to the bottom of the form.  I've tried the following code: Private Sub frmMain_Resize( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me .Resize ' Resize the picture box control as the form ' resizes. PictureBox1.Left = 3 PictureBox1.Top = MenuStrip.Height + 1 PictureBox1.Width = Me .Width - 6 PictureBox1.Height ...Show All

• SQL Server Formatting With Multiple Columns

  Hello, Is it possible to view the contents of a report in 2 columns for example, if i had a report contained a table with 1 column, could I, rather than epanding that table column down, use some of the room to the right of the table to "repeat" the columns in the table to show more of the data In crystal reports you could achieve this effect by using the "format with multiple columns" option. If you need a better explanation please let me know. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Test Endpoint Connection

  Hi, I am trying to develop my version of the ChannelFactory class that has some built in functionalty to endpoint failure. The general idea is that consuming application calls my static method specifying the contract and endpoint name to connect to. The class can then make this connect and confirm that the remote service is available and if not it connect to a know backup machine. The problem i am having is that my class inherits from ClientBase and exposes the static but I cannot find anything to check if the connection was made. The code i have in the static has the following code inside it : returnValue = new ServiceFactory <TServiceContract>(endpoint); returnValue.Open(); I would have expected the open method to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Getting text out of DrawingVisual?

  I'm playing with Feng Yaun's watermarking sample at http://blogs.msdn.com/fyuan/archive/2006/08/23/715938.aspx It basically creates a DrawingVisual and adds it to a page's children collection. Later on, I can enumerate the page's collection and get back my DrawingVisual. What I can't figure out now is how to get the actual text that I drew into it. From the DrawingVisual, I can get the DrawingGroup and DrawingChildren collection, but none of these have anything that remotely looks like text. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what the original DrawText into the DrawingContext does, and it's really just storing a bitmap (meaning, later changing the watermark would be a little tricky). So the obvious first question is: is there a way for me ...Show All

• .NET Development SqlCommand Problem

  I'm working on a project that uses an SQL database to link geometry between two 3D modeling applications. In the process, I'm learning C# and .NET. Right now, I'm working on the SQL stuff, using Visual C# Express. In the following code, I'm trying to instantiate an SqlCommand object. The instantiation seems to work, but when I try to use it (cmd.CommandTimeout, cmd.Connection) the cmd object does not show up in Intellisense and gives me an error "Invalid token '=' in class, struct, or interface member declaration." I seem to have all of the right references, and I'm actually converting this (as an exercise) from a VB project that a friend of mine wrote, which has no issues. I even tried inserting a similar sequence of code direct ...Show All

• Windows Forms Closing original Form

  If I have a startup form that allows the user to open other forms is there a way to close that original form or hide it until the user needs it again Thanks Thomas no, it only loads forms as it needs them. it just keeps them around after they are disposed so they can be queried. performance wise, you won't notice any difference - it's all pretty fast. ...Show All

• SQL Server Databases missing from Backup Task of Maintenance Plan

  I'm moving databases from SQL7 to another server with SQL2005. I have created new databases in SQL2005 via a restore from backup files created in the old server. Now I want to back up these new databases but they don't show in the Backup Task of a new or existing Maintenance Plan in Management Studio. I can backup them manually though. Any ideas I assume you have restored this database to a local 2005 server. If this is the case, they should show up. Maintenance plans can not make connections to SQL 7. Can you see this database via Management Studio ...Show All

• Visual Basic how to select combo box items

  can i knz how to selected the combox item that is data-bound If the combo box item is selected it will display the results of the that correspond to the combobox item pls send link or sample codes asap You can use a variety of methods on the Combobox. SelectedIndex, SelectedItem, SelectedValue, SelectedText all for slightly different purposes. With a combobox you dont have a multiselect option as you do with a listbox - I mention this as you refer to items in the title of the thread. I would suggest having a look at these in the help file, playing around with them and seeing which serves you purpose. ...Show All
