• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic 2005 Exe

  Is it possible to create a stand alone exe for a windows application using Visual basic 2005 Express Edition. If so how can this be accomplished. Yes, you can use another language which doesn't rely on the .NET framework. Even so, all modern languages require a runtime in one form or another (it's just that the runtimes are already installed with the OS). However, C++ is probably your best bet (VB6 has runtimes, but are relatively small but is not recommended for new applications). ...Show All

• Visual Basic latency issue on drawing of user control on tabcontrol's tabpage.

  There is a control redraw/repaint latency issue in my windows app. When I select a tab on a left tab control, the right tab control's tab page, which contains a panel and a user control, the user control on the right tab control takes a second to redraw itself, groupbox by groupbox. When the form initially loads,'ctlfoo' also takes a moment to draw itself. Any ideas on how to speed this up Am I providing enough info to diagnose the problem Thank you, -Greg Private Sub MainForm_Load TabControlRight.TabPages.Clear() TabControlRight.Controls.Add(TabPage1) TabControlRight.Controls.Add(TabPage1) TabControlRight.Controls.Add(TabPage3) TabControlRight.TabPages.Item("TabPage1").Controls.Add(Panel1) Me.Panel1.Controls.A ...Show All

• Visual C++ Strange Compiler Error!!!!!!!!

  Hello, I have recently begun programming in DirectX. I am compiling a single file(.cpp), that requires nothing but a link to DirectX in Visual Studio 2005 Professional (Which I own). I have linked everything to the DirectX SDK files, but I receive the following errors. error C2065: 'index' : undeclared identifier error C2228: left of '.x' must have class/struct/union error C2228: left of '.y' must have class/struct/union These seem familiar with "C" style errors, but I'm using C++. I might have the compiler settings wrong, so that it could think that it was C, not C++, as .x, and .y is straight C++ so somethign is wrong here, there is nothing wrong with the code, as it is from a book and have given it to other ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Cancelling a sub routine

  If I make a simple form with a button on it which when pressed runs a sub routine, how do I pass a cancel command to it to stop the routine I have been messing around with various different methods but nothing seems to work. Once I have pressed the button on the form and set the sub routine going, nothing on the form is then accessible, apart from the X to kill the form. On pressing that, ther form becomes inactive, but the sub routine still keeps running. Any suggestions would be appreciated! You should use a separate thread to do that work so you won’t block your forms. Your form will remain responsive so you can kill a thread if you’d like to cancel the work. See this for e ...Show All

• Windows Forms Slow User Defined Control

  I'm creating a custom control that has contained within it a large number of buttons. The code is extremely slow (taking about 12 seconds to display). I've had no success in making it faster. The problem seems to be centered around a single statement: Controls.Add(my_button_ctl); I tried to use the Controls.AddRange(...) member instead of Add(), but there was no speed improvement as was implied in the documentation. If I remove the Controls.Add() call (or AddRange), the display is almost instant. Is anyone aware of a way to speed up a user defined control that contains a large number of button controls In my case there are up-to 550 buttons contained on the control and I would like to get them displayed in under 1 second. The custom ...Show All

• SQL Server How to access data in a SQL Command in the OLE DB Destination editor

  Instead of blindly inserting all my data from a previous task into a table using "Table" as the Data Access Mode in the OLEDB Destination editor. I would like to join this output with a reference table and insert only qualifying rows. Question is "how do I access the data from previous task so that I can do a meaningful equijoin" I know I have to use the "SQL Command" data access mode, but what next Thanks. chiraj chiraj wrote: I dragged a "Merge Join" task into the DataFlow window and connected the outputs of a Lookup Task and a OLEDB Source task ( reference table ).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using web services with xbap application

  I have created an wpf browser application that relies on calling a web service. However, whenever I call the web service, I recieve a "System.Net.WebPermissions" error message. The web service is located on a different server. How do I get this to work Thank you for the help. Steve He means a proxy service on your web server which basically makes calls to the real web service. This technique is referred to as "bridging". If you download the Atlas CTP it has support for bridging built in. Check out this article on the Atlas site for more information. Keep in mind that just because it's Atlas doesn't necessarily mean you have to call it with Atlas client script. ...Show All

• Visual C++ msvcr80.dll Problem

• Visual C++ /MTd and /clr options are incompatible. Why?

  Ok, here is the long story. I have a nice C++ component which statically links to about 10 libraries as well as links to ATL, C run-time library and MFC. Component is multi-threaded and it actually runs couple of threads inside but everything is nicely wrapped into one DLL which can be called from any .NET program. It was all fine until I tried to migrate this project from VS 2002 to VS 2005. After migration at first I got this message: Building MFC application with /MD (CRT dll version) requires MFC shared dll version. Please #define _AFXDLL or do not use /MD I checked settings and saw that migration changed runtime library option to Multi-threaded DLL instead of just Multi threaded. Well, I have no intention of having 10+ DLLs instead o ...Show All

• Visual C# Run C# application remotely. How ?

  Dear All, I have a doubt regarding the .NET architecture and I want to know is it possible to do the following. I have a server called MAIN SERVER which is connected to OTHER SERVERS. This MAIN SERVER can be considered as gateway which is connected to all OTHER SERVERS located at different geographical locations. I have a desktop application in CLIENT 1 connected to MAIN SERVER through LAN. I would like to create an application architecture where the application at CLIENT 1 should post a request to MAIN SERVER to ping OTHER SERVERS. In turn the MAIN SERVER should ping the OTHER SERVERS and respond back to the desktop application at CLIENT 1 and application at CLIENT 1 should display the result I would like to do this with th ...Show All

• SQL Server deriving a new column from another derived column

  In a Derived Column data flow transformation, why can't I refer to a derived column (added in that same transformation) in the expression for another derived column It seems I am forced to chain 2 DC data flows, just to do something as conceptually simple as: a = x + y; b = a 2 On a related note: Can I define a variable that is scoped to each row Can I bind a variable in an expression to avoid creating a new row, e.g. let a = x + y; a 2 as the expression for new row b You can't do it in derived column, but it is very easy to do in script component - the component generates the row accessors, so the amount of code you need to write is almost the same as in derived column transform. ...Show All
