• Visual Studio Symbols for release version?

  I have a release version which fails if started by opening the .exe, but works if started with the debugger (F5 in VS2005). I have the map and .pdb files from the release build. Since I have JIT debugging enabled, the access violation which causes the crash opens a dialog which asks me to select a debugger. Is there any way I can tell this debugger to use the map and/or program db to get a symbolic display of the call stack, etc After you have selected the debugger in the JIT dialog and broken into the debugger you can then load symbols. You can do this using context menu in callstack window or modules window or go to Tools -> Options -> Debugger -> Symbols and setup symbol paths and click OK. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Simple Graph Howto?

  I have been looking at all of the graph options. They all look very complicated and I dont know where to put my data in: What I want to do I have four places that I get datafrom by date and time. What I would like to do is to make a graph by switch and then by time. So X is hours 1,2,3,4 through 24 and then number of entries which should be 1 through 20 entries. How would I start to do this. eventually I will pull the data from a database but for right now I want to create a simple graph.

• Windows Forms Prevent highlight on nodes with TreeView?

  I'm trying to surpress the node text highlight on a TreeView control. Setting FullRowSelect = False and HideSelection = True doesn't accomplish this -- is the only way to prevent the selection highlight from happening to override the draw mode using DrawMode = OwnerDrawAll If so, could I get some sample code that will just basically prevent highlighting of a row/node Thanks, Rob. Excellent that did the trick, thank you. Key is to make sure e.Graphics.FillRectangle(New SolidBrush(myTreeView.BackColor), e.Bounds) is done before .DrawString and selecting the same current backColor. Rob. ...Show All

• SQL Server BULK INSERT from a table

  Hi there. I have a table that contains comma delimited text, and I am trying to convert this into another table eg my target table looks like Produce|Price|QuantityPerPrice and my input table contains strings such as "apples","7.5","10" "pears","10","8" "oranges","8","6" Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this I am after a solution that does them all at once: I am currently using charindex() to find each column, one at a time, but given the speed of BULK INSERT I would much rather do it as a table. The one solution that I don't want to resort to is to export the table with delimited strings to a data file, then BUL ...Show All

• Visual Basic Recordcount is -1

  Have just looked at the post from TheDogger about getting -1 for a recordcount when using ADO recordsets in VB6 - I found the same behavior in VB.NET. The only cursor I found that allows the recordcount property is ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenStatic So, to get this and related properties to work: 1. Add either COM or .NET ADO reference to your project. 2. Create a connection string (I put mine in application settings) 3. Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset RS = New ADODB.Recordset Conn = New ADODB.Connection Conn.ConnectionString = My .Settings.connSQL 'or your connection string Conn.Open() RS.ActiveConnection = Conn stRS = "Select * from Customers" 'use your own select statement ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is creating a basic native win32 app using VB 2005 EE possible?

  Hi all. I'm trying to work out how, or indeed, *if* it is possible to create a standalone application that will run on pretty much any version of windows without the need for the .net 2.0 framework installed . In my looking about, I think I have found out that if you use the WinForms element in VB 2005 EE, you have to have the .net 2.0 framework installed, but I'm not 100% sure if thats correct or not. What I'm after is a basic single window app that allows you to launch certain programs or installers using buttons on this single windowed application - very much like a CD Menu system of old Even if it requires VB 6 runtimes [i.e. like a VB6 project app did] that wouldn't be too bad, as that is fairly simple and can be installe ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is there an easy way to move from control to control

  Hi I am woundering if there is a way to move from control to control by using the Enter button instead of the TAB button. In VBA you can use both the Enter- and the TAB button without any specific code, like SendKeys. Fia   Add a KeyPress event procedure to allow the user to press the Enter key to navigate from one control to the next instead of using the mouse or the Tab key. ------------------------------- Private Sub txtFirst_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtFirst.KeyPress If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then txtSecond.Focus() End Sub ...Show All
