• Visual Basic how to serialize?

  A simple question I think. I’ve got a simple app that has a main form and that makes instances of a couple of dialogs. So when you click a button on the main form one of the dialogs is displayed with ShowDialog(). Within this dialog I have some CheckBoxes, TextBoxes, RichTextBoxes. I would like to be able to save the state of these components so that when the app is restarted it will pick up where the user left off (i.e. I want to serialize these components). Specifically I want to keep the state of these components even when the app closed and restarted. I've spent a couple of days reading through the Microsoft serialization topics as well as a fair amount of Google listings on the subject. I have to think this topic has been c ...Show All

• SQL Server Spurious Errors With Package Execution on Local Machine

  I am having strange errors with a package when running locally that has not been an issue before. The main symtom is that several Data Flow Tasks are either not inserting records on the destination or are only inserting 1 single record before the package errors with the error shown below. Strangely, the debugger will show X # of records from source and destination, but either no records are actually written or, again, in many cases, only 1 single record is written. This is very strange. App, System and Security logs yield no indication of security or other errors. All I have to go on is the above anomolies and the error message provided below. Below is the error message, can someone help me decrypt it Many thanks, Rick ...Show All

• Windows Forms Text not showing up in Listbox

  I am having problems populating a listbox and having the text show up. When I first encountered the problem, it was within a more complicated program. So, I began a new C# Windows application program, used the default "Form1" and drug a listbox on it. I renamed the listbox to lstCSAList to match the other program I was working on. In design time, I clicked on the ellipse, under Items where it says "(Collection)". I added, line1 line2 line3 In the Form1_Load subroutine, I placed the following code: private void Form1_Load( object sender, System.EventArgs e) { lstCSAList.Items.Add("Dummy"); } When I build and debug the program, I get the listbox with no text displayed. However, ...Show All

• Visual C# Changing application icon based on build configuration

  I have a C# application with different projects in the solution. I need to change the application icon based on build configuration. I have different build configurations for branding the application. I can change the icons and splash screens without any problems. The only problem is the Application icon which is used to show in the taskbar and in Windows Explorer. Is there any way to change this I would also like to change the output exe name. Is that possible Thanks. Got it figured out. I manually edited the NewsClient.csproj and coped the <ApplicationIcon> section from the common <PropertyGroup> to my specific <PropertyGroup> and it picks the right icon based on my build ...Show All

• Visual C# doing stuff before disposing

  i have written class that implements IDisposable interface i.e. dispose method. now i need to make my class write to file some buffered data before disposing it. usually you would simple write code that outputs data to file e.g. WriteData(byte[] data, string filename) and call it in your dispose method. however calling simply WriteData() method is not a solution in my case since file IO can take some amount of time but i need to *immediatelly* return to executing of the code in the owner of my class instance. there is no doubt that i should run WriteData() method in a separated thread. however this question is not about starting threads. the thing i want to ask is whether it is ok in dispose method to create a new thread that runs a method ...Show All
