• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I print a form???

  -Visual Basic Express 2005- To print a form in the older version 6.0 the line of code was something like form.PrintForm to print that form. I need to know the simplest way to print a form with Express. I figured it would be simple but maybe I'm missing something because I really need help... Please :) VB6 and VB2005 have a huge change, as you maybe aware of. To print, you would need to use the PrintDocument classes/printpage events - which involves drawing the string/control/whatever - it may be a pain but hopefully this documentation, and example included, will help you get started: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printdocument.aspx the advantage being that you can customize the way you ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Setup failed to retrieve the SSL Certificate Name

    When I try to install SQL 2005 Developer September CTP on Windows XP Professional  it returns an error "SQL Server Setup failed to retrieve the SSL Certificate Name" . I was using a certificate from SelfSSL but removed it. Still no luck This appears to be an issue with SQL Reporting Services. If I don't install Reporting Services then I can install SQL 2005. I'm guessing that Reporting Services is now requiring a certificate and doesn't like the SelfSSL certificates Any ideas I got the same error as well.  Selfssl had been previously used to install a cert with IIS for ssl testing.  I removed the cert from iis and reporting services installed fine. Good luck Jay Skelly Microsof ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem with Sockets

  Hi buddies, How are you !! I got the following problem while i am developing a chat software My software consists of two parts: Server Client each in a seperate project, and each works very well when they are working alone, but when i try to test my application -I run the server then the client- i got the problem that when the client create the TcpClient object i got this message: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted I think that is because i use the same port number for both applications but this is the only way to run both applications on the same machine. the short version of my question is: How can I start a TcpListener and a TcpClient on the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# modulus operator % sucks?

  So in C# when I do -1%something I get -1, which means I can't really use it as an array index without a bunch of stupid error checking.  Is there some way to force the modulo operator to actually give me numbers from my field (e.g 0-5 for modulo 6) Edit: Well, I made this post at 2:00 am and it shows, here is what I have issue with: i = (i+1) % 6 will result in numbers from 0 to 5, which I could use for an array index i = (i-1) % 6 will result in numbers from 0 to -5, which can't be used in an array index Obviously, the absolute value of those results would not conform to any logical value, either (for instance, array[-1] and array[1] would be the same value, even though they should be 2 values apart if I decremented twice ...Show All

• .NET Development Date Format

  Dear all, How can I format a Chinese date format to a English(United States) date format(01-Mar-06), It means how can I make a date format regardless of Computer's Regional setting Thanks you Hmm, no, that's not redundant in the format the OP wants it. Specifying the culture is essential to get the correct 3-letter month abbreviation correct. "December" in German is "Dez" for one, wonder what it is in Swahili.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook Addin and Folder Homepage
