Visual Basic Vb.net - Create custom database in windows application - Double click custom database file?
With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format. I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out. Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed ...Show All
Visual C++ transparent Bufferedgraphics&UI
Hi everyone! I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask about but If not so, can anyone redirect me to right place. Anyway here is my problem: I created a simple Windows Form which has a trasnparent background color, Let's say color1. This Form also contains a BufferedGraphics object (grafx). My aim is to make grafx has a transparent background, too. When I run my application it works fine(grafx and form both have transparent backgrounds), however when I clear grafx to draw something new, I lose the transparency of grafx. It becomes simply black even if I pick color1 as black. How can I reach transparency options of BufferedGraphics object if something like that exists if you have a solution for making grafx transparent without ...Show All
SQL Server Developer Edition Remote connection and related issues
Hi All, I think I'm trying to do something I shouldn't but want to verify. I've got Visual Studio Pro 2005 Academic Edition with SQL Server Developer Edition. I loaded SS on my Windows Server 2003 PC server but am not able to connect remotely. I received help on another forum about how to connect the DevEdn but it doesn't read right. It appears that to do so, well, it even says, is a security risk. It just seems to me like Developer Edition was not made for remote connection. Is that true For any of you VB.NET/C# developers, is it hard to migrate a solution from a local solution to a network solution. That's what I'd do if I had to upgrade from a local version of SQL Server to a server PC based version of SS2K5. What is the ...Show All

Hi, We are using the version of source safe that goes with Visual Studio 6.0. We would like to get the comments for a particular file/project by code to help with the release notes.

Visual C++ Exes build by .NET
Hi, I have come to know that the executables build by the .NET are not complete executable rather they are furhter compiled right at the time of execution. Is the information acquired by me is correct Thankx & Regards, Ashish. Ashish Pratap said - .NET exes are different from the normal windows exes Yes. You are right. They are different from traditional executables. Like I said before .NET code runs on top of a Virtual Machine called the CLR (Common Language Runtime). You may also want to take a look at this article: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/dotnet.asp And: - To run the .NET exes we need to have the appropriate .NET framework installed on our machines. ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista when the WSD device's Function Instance can be available?
I have a question about when the WSD device's Function Instance can be available for querying. If a WSD device plugged in, before user launches Network Explorer (Before PnP-X get notified) , can I write a program, calls Function Discovery API (such as CreateInstanceCollectionQuery) to retrieve the WSD device's function instance If not, when the function instance will be available is it after Network Explorer launched and before Pnp-X install the driver or after Pnp-X install the device driver. Thanks Network Explorer uses Function Discovery to query for it's results, but there are no other dependencies. The WSD Function Instance represents the device discove ...Show All

Visual Studio Tools for Office Publishing on IIS server
Hi I have a few questions about publishing VSTO solutions to an IIS server. The IIS server is only visible internally in our company. 1. What is the requirements to the IIS Server Is it really necessary to install FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 for it to work 2. If Frontpage Server Extensions is needed - how do I control security settings for this, without using the FrontPage application 3. Are there any disadvantages with using a webserver as "storage" for the assemblies and manifests for my VSTO solution compared to a network fileshare I hope some of you has some inputs to this, espacially 1 and 2. My arguments for moving the code to an IIS server instead of the internal file server, is that the solution is ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Database Project in VB2005EE
I am building a small database app. I have a question about displaying data from the DB on a form. I have a form with a listbox and several textboxes. In the listbox I have a list of items from the database (Table A) and when I click on an item in the list the textboxes populate with appropriate data from the database (Table A) applicable to said item. To this point all works well. Now I want the listbox list to be sorted alphabetically. I change the Sorted property of the listbox to true and the list now displays alphabetically but selecting an item in the list now displays the wrong info in the textboxes.
