• Windows Forms how to set the font of the richtextbox's text?

  as I did set the richtextbox's font during i designing it, and when run the application and open a file, and read the file's content into the richtextbox. and then when i input content directly into the richtextbox by keyboard, the file-in text's font is different from the keyboard-in text's I just want them the same font defaultly, how can i do it (Moderator: Thread moved to this forum for better responses) You would have to read a .rtf file for this to happen.

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB Language Reference

  does anyone know of any website which features a reference for the visual basic language If you a complete novice I'd look at more general books to do with writing applications using VB.NET as much of the tasks involved in developing applications are handled using custom controls, setting properties and hooking stuff up. This avoids a lot of need to code stuff. So focusing in on the language aspect of VB is useful although only one part of the process. Some of the books which cover more general development using the tool would cover this UI interface design, using other components and stuff which is not specifically the language but involves writing code - such as using ADO.NET to access databases. ...Show All

• SQL Server about 8KB limit

  In SQL2005 with the option ROW_OVERFLOW_DATA the restriction of 8KB by row relaxed for tables that contain varchar, nvarchar, varbinary, sql_variant, or CLR user-defined type columns. In this case SQL Server use as best the page size, however I wonder what happen when this option is turned off. For example, If a row size is of 3 KB and I have ROW_OVERFLOW_DATA OFF how SQL Server store my rows there are about 2 KB of wasted space by page There is no such thing called ROW_OVERFLOW_DATA option. You cannot turn it on or off. It is based on the column type. If you have variable length columns, sql server allows you to store rows larger than 8k by pushing variable length column values off-row. If your ro ...Show All

• .NET Development Size of Dataset rows in BYTES

  I am working on an application that pushes data to a mobile device, but the device can only handle a given size of data for single push to the device. The data I push is in a dataset and initailly I had broken this down to send data in batches of 50 rows from the dataset. Cycling through the dataset from row 0 to row count-1. But sometimes the fifty (50) rows it self is too big So I would like to know of a way to determine the size of each batch of 50 rows that I am pushing to the mobile device. The device has a limit of 32K per push Is there a way to get the size in bytes of an individual row Would I have to cycle throught each column in a row get the data value for each colum, determine it size and keep a running total I could r ...Show All

  Is it possible to resize the the pushpin detail window I know you can add a control and make it whatever size you want but I would like to keep the arrow VE produces for the window. Also, is there any way to reduce the padding in the detail window Seems like the way it is now is that there is alot of wasted space that is not necessary if you don't have alot of info in the window. Thanks, Jason John, This is exactly what I need to display small pictures in my map project. The only problem is that it displays great in IE but doesn't seem to have any effect in Firefox. Is there a fix for this Bill ...Show All

• Visual Basic Implicit ReDim - Is this a bug ?

  No cracks about the 'bug' is sitting at the keyboard Try this: <Code> Sub Test Dim a(0 To 9, 0 To 5) As String a = FuncX() End Sub Function FuncX() as String(,) Dim Ret(0 To 4, 0 To 5) as String < Code to fill Ret > FunctX = Ret End Function <\Code> When you check 'a' in Test, it has been redefined as Ret: i.e. (0 to 4, 0 to 5) No compile warning ... although I can see where it might be hard to checks this. No Runtime error - except when I try to use 'a' with the full dimensions. Is this a bug or is it intentional and I'm missing something (other than my mind for such poor code consistency).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to bind a property to resources in a Resource File

  HI, I would like to know if its possible to set a property of a control in xaml to a resource in a Resource File.

• SQL Server Error rendering subreport in table

  Hello there. First some informations: The Report shows informations about server from our customers. There will be one report per customer. One Customer can have 1 or more servers. I get all servers from a customer with DataSet1. The result is one column with one or more rows (example "Server1", "Server2"...). Its a really big report so i put all objects in subreport and in the "toplevel"-report i repeat the subreport for each row i get and set the column as parameter (which is defined in subreport). Heres my problem: if i put the subreport direct into the report and set a fix value for the server-parameter it works fine. if i put the subreport in table i get the followin error: "[rsErrorExecutingSubrepor ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Blitting?

  I've checked through the XNA Documentation, but there doesn't seem to be any way to 'blit'. For those of you unfirmiliar with 'blit': Blit is a way to draw something. For example, say you create a "Texture2D" variable, set the size etc... But the texture is blank. The normal way to create a texture to this is to load up a bitmap image with it through the ContentManager, right But what if you want to use a whole sprite-sheet with many images Back to the blank, say, 65 x 65 bitmap image, you obviusly don't want this 2D image of the player to be a whole 1024x768 sprite-sheet. So this is where I used blitting in other programs, it basically asks for the x, y co-ordinates, and the length of the bitmap and takes a picture from that x,y and 'c ...Show All
