• Visual Basic Hide/Show form causes form to reload

  Using VS 2005. Creating windows forms application. I have a search form that the user can enter their search criteria and then find records. The records found populate a grid. The user selects a record in the grid and then clicks open record button. The click event of the open record button does the following: Dim frm As New frmRS_ModMenu frm.Show() Me .Hide() 'This is frmSearchForm This works great.

• Software Development for Windows Vista [RTM Vista] - Problem binding an ssl certificate to an ip:port, nothing works :-(

  Look this link. I'm running on Windows Vista RTM as an administrator. The certificate has been crafted with makecert for developing purposes.

• Visual Basic If I want to upgrade my program of VB6.0 to the program have net application, is it the VB.net is my only choice?

  Please help to give some advise, My program is developed by using VB6.0, and now I need to upgrade the program that can support the online application or online transaction. So is it the VB.Net / VB 2005 are the only and the best choice Because some of the people are mentioned that the C#'s performance speed and stable will better then the VB, it is true if I am using the VB.Net to develop, what is the strong point of this new version of VB I definitely think VB.NET / VS 2005 is your best option. You'll be the most productive using what you already know about VB. C# is a fine option, but there is no performance, scalability, or other technical advantage to choosing it. That is a myth.

• Visual Basic Is there a VB based regex tutorial anywhere?

  Sorry to be a pain but I'm having difficulties getting to grips with the basics of VB regular expresions.  I'm not a newbe to regex - I'm just new to VB (don't know whether or not that helps matters). I'm trying to do fairly simple things eg match the text before the markup <option> so would automatically expect something along the lines of /(w*)<option>/ and then simply consider the variable $1, but i have absolutely no idea where to start in vb. While a solution to the specifics would be nice a pointer to a simple tutorial may be a nicer solution. Incidentally is there a way of finding tutorials - specific help on eg regularexpresions.regex.match without "ask a question" - surely there must be and I'm ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I include my data files into my installation exe?

How do I do that hi again, i must still be misunderstanding you... i deploy data files with my app.... basically, i do what i outlined above, then then build the project. this creates for me a setup.exe (which in my case only does the vcredist'ing if necessary) plus builds the MSI file for my project. clicking on the setup.exe handles the prerequisites, and then automatically starts my installer msi file. when it's done, the app is installed and the data files are sitting on the target machine where they're supposed to be sitting. other than the setup.exe and my msi file, there are no loo ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Programatically setting the default playback device (and recording device)

  Under Vista is there a way to set the default playback device programatically I've searched through the APIs but I'm not seeing it. For example, there is a method IMMDeviceEnumerator::GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(), but there is no corresponding IMMDeviceEnumerator::SetDefaultAudioEndpoint(). Can I do this through the endpoint properties Can you write a Control Panel extension which exposes all your features through the Vista Audio Control Panel. This way the customer will have to go to only one place ( The Vista Control Panel ).
