• Visual Studio Express Editions Removing Specified Text in Textbox

  I am having trouble with what I thought was simple... I am trying to copy the text from textbox 'OpenPath' to textbox 'SavePath' and in 'SavePath' I am trying to remove the file extension so it saves it in to the folder.   SavePath.Text = OpenPath.Text Dim opentextlength As Integer opentextlength = SavePath.TextLength - 4 SavePath.Text.Remove(opentextlength, 4)   I thought this would work but apparently not   ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Bug in a Route.Itinerary.Segment.Distance

  Hello people, while i was debugging an application i'm working on, i found a bug (i guess so...)in the distance info in a route segment; you can test it at http://local.live.com/ (using shortest time and miles options). The bug is in the 9th segment between Washington [Washington, D.C.], District of Columbia, United States and Miami, Florida, United States. The total distance of the route is 1062.9mi, but the distance in the previous segment is 794mi!! However, if you query the route between that segment and the next one, the distance is correct... I hope it helps to correct it. greetings Dario Aznar - Argentina Hi John, someone out of this forum explained it to me that i was m ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can not connect to a DDE server through a Win32 console

  Hi, I created a Win32 console to test the simple C code for Excel/Word DDE available in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/279721 .

• Windows Forms Exposing ListView Column Header Collection Editor on a composite control

  Hello, I have a composite control with an inner ListView control and I want to use the ListView Column Header Collection Editor when the composite control is sited on a Form. To do it I exposed de inner ListView on a public property: public ListView InnerListView { get {return innerListView;} } The InnerListView property appears in the properties window of the IDE as a compressed node. Expanding the node it is possible to access the innerListView Columns property and edit the headers. But executing the project no column appears in the ListView. Looking at the the designer.cs source, I have seen the designer correctly creates the headers, but they are not added to the column co ...Show All

• .NET Development Versioning applications and dll

  Hi. I have a program tha is composed of an exe file and a dll. I have a problem when i want to update the dll because i must update the exe file. Is there anyway to call a dll with version equal o greater than current version for example I have tester with the .config in the exe file but i will develop other applications that will call the dll so i can not change the .config of all programs each time i update the dll... I also found that i can put in the gac a binding redirect policy but i can not add redirects to all previous versions to the new dll each time i update it. How can i do it i will preserve backward compatibility of course. Thanks. Hi, As you have just discovered, this is an annoying th ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development in IE 7 target is ignored in the form on the modal window

  Hi, This issue has been mentioned on this forum but never explained and no workaround provided.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office vsto project - opening & closing of documents

  Group, I am working on a VSTO project that does the following: Project opens with my word.dot do while rs = true reads a record from a data file, builds a document, (based on data within the file), saves the document to a network path, prints the document closes the document loop. First document works great...... I now attempt to read record #2 and complete the same process as above, and before I can read the second record, my program is running somewhere, but I have no control of it. The MSWORD application is open, but no document appears. I no longer can step through my code, I don't have control. . IF I do not close the document, the program runs straight through, reading the 5 records in my file, the only ...Show All

• Windows Forms Web "color picker"

  I am working on an application in VS2005, using a VB type project. I have been playing around a little bit with the Color Dialog control but it doesn't quite do what I need. I want to allow the users the ability to change some of the colors used for various things, and I would like to restrict the choices to those available within the "WebPalette" side of things. But I need to restrict it further because I don't want to allow for the selection of "light" colors because the areas that they can work with all have a white background. Therefore choosing something like "white" for the text color would be disasterous and comical at the same time. I would like to create a "list"... similar to that one ...Show All

• .NET Development ADO.NET book recommendations

  Thanks anyway; but, I've already searched Amazon and other online book sites. Many of the books listed by those links were pre VS2005 and/or the types of books that did not meet the above mentioned criteria. That's why I was asking for specific recommendations. Perhaps I should have added that I was interested in books with which the recommender had personal experience. Here's a copy of my orginal question: Can anybody recommend what I would consider a good book on VB8 and ADO.NET If it exists, such an animal would have the following qualifications: does NOT simply repeat what is already available from BOL, MSDN, etc., does explain how to programmatically use ADO.NET rather than just demonstrating how to use wiza ...Show All
