• Community Chat JimmyWidgets

  --- Original Post --- Hi everyone! My current project is JimmyWidgets, a widget program like Apple Dashboard, but for PC! You can even make new widgets in DLL format and post em on the online database! When I've made more widgets (I've only got 2 at the moment), I'll post it at www.jimmyware.co.uk  . It's going to be open-source, so you can download the source from there too. Here's a screenshot: http://www.freewebs.com/robinjam/JimmyWidgets%5FScreenshot.jpg I await any comments/suggestions! (But please don't be too harsh about my efforts, it took me HOURS)   P.S. A list of problems I need to fix: The online database currently lets you download the same widget twice, making startup time longer (because ...Show All

• 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

• Visual Basic Enabling user control mouse events

  I have created a user control and placed it onto a form and it all generally works OK. I have put code into the form to react to Mouse up, down and move events for the user control but the form code is never entered when I click on the user control. I am guessing that I need to put code into the user control to generate these events. If so can anyone suggest what is required Thank you but this doen't really answer my problem. I have coded my user control with all its properties and it works well on my form. I want to detect when a user clicks anywhere on the user control and so I created the MouseDown event handler in the form's code window by clicking on the name of the user control instance and ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with HTMLEditorControl

  Hello. I am using a HTMLEditorControl (Microsoft.ConsultingServices.HtmlEditor.HtmlEditorControl) It has an InnerHTML property which I use to save the control's content to the database (mysql) But the problem I have is that instead of Enter small squares appear. So those squares appear in another app, which reads from this database. I suppose this is all about different encodings, but don't know how to solve it. I am using Visual Basic 2005, MySql Database, and the htmleditorcontrol mentioned before. Would appreaciate any help. Best Regards, Alberto Abudara. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Making the IP Address control remember my settings

  I have an SDI based MFC application in VS dot NET-2003,in which I create a dialog box on an event.The dialog box has tabs,one of which contains the IP address control. I would like to initialise the control,and if the user changes the ip,it should be rembered in the control,i.e. if the dialog box is generated again,the modified ip address is diaplayed.

Please throw some light! Thanks Hi Kuphryn, could you please elaborate on the function "Init update recent data in VC++". I am unable to find an ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is the best way to use DataContext in ASP.NET app?

  Hello! I have an ASP.NET app. where I use DLINQ. I want to find out the best way of using DataContext because perfomance is a critical thing. I have these variants: 1) DataContext will be initialized only once and placed into the Session. (But my DB structure is quite big) 2) DataContext will be initialized every time when a query executes. 3)... Please tell me your suggestions. Thank you for the quick response. It becomes much clearer for me. My app is a read-write app. It actively works with data in both ways. Could you tell me some words more about splitting the context into multiple contexts ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB computing wrong value during execution

  I am receiving the wrong result when I perform the following computation using VB.NET 2005. MM = CDbl (LoCursr - 1) / CDbl (HiCursr) LoCursr and HiCursr are both dimensioned as Integers and have values of 85 and 87 and are passed into this subroutine as ByRef values. MM is a local variable declared as a double. If I execute this statement in the immediate window, I get the correct result of 0.96551724137931039 However, when this statement executes normally, I receive a result of 0.96551722288131714 which I also get if I execute Cdbl(Csng(84/87)) in the immediate Window. I've tried storing the LowCursr and HiCursor values in Doubles prior to doing the computation, but that did not correct the problem. Is there a se ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I convert this c# code into a regular expression?

  I'm trying to create a "path validation method" to check if a string can be used as a valid path in my program. The path must contain an indication character at the beginning of it which can be either minus, tilde or a dot. In case of a minus character than it must be followed by a number. In case of tilde or a dot than it must be followed by any valid step format. A valid step format is either a s tring enclosed by a sharp brackets , a number or a combination of a string enclosed by a sharp brackets followed by a number without white spaces between the brackets and the number. After the initial step we can have a dot separator to indicate that we have additional steps that must follow the normal step format without the starting indicatio ...Show All
