• Visual C# DateTime formatting in 2005

  Having converted a medium to large website from .NET 1.1 to 2.0, I found that some machines displayed datetimes in en-GB format while one in particular (running under server 2003) displayed datetimes in en-US format. The code was identical as were the regional settings. I discovered that IIS on this machine had the default web-site still pointing to 1.1 (the virtual website for my system was set to run under version 2). When I pointed the default website to version 2 and pressed the Edit Global Configuration button and selected the Application tab, I found that the culture was set to af-ZA. I set this to en-GB and restarted IIS. Lo and behold, the datetimes were displayed properly. I then pointed the default website back to version 1.1 ...Show All

• Visual Basic passing a function's name to another function (or sub)

  Dear all when programming in FORTRAN I was used to pass the name of a function to another sub or function. With VB.NET I have some problem. Suppose I have several functions, named F1,F2, F3,.., and that I have to perform some common task on these functions (for instance numerical integration). Well, I wish to manage things in such a way to have a library function or subroutine (to do integration) and to call it passing various parameters 'and' a function name ( e.g. F3 ) to perform the integration of F3 . In other words I wish something similar to this fragment of code to work (declarations and initialization omitted): module main integ1= integration(a,b,step,F1) integ2= integration(a,b,step,F2) end module m ...Show All

• Windows Forms Disable New Row on DataGrid

  Is there any way to disable the ability to create a new row at the bottom of a datagrid The row marked as "*" appears automatically and I want to disable so I can programatically control inserting of new rows. Thanks If the new row is showing up, then your datasource is an IBindingList (a DataView if you are binding to a DataTable). You need to set the AllowNew property of the datasource to false. For example, if you are binding to the DataTable myDataTable, then set "myDataTable.DefaultView.AllowNew = false;". ...Show All

• Visual C++ search for value not greater than another in a jagged array of structures

  I was tinkering with the idea of a class that had a reversible memory value array, and its first incarnation was to have for each "location" an array of structures that had values clock k and value v. Is there a way to adapt an array binary search to look at a structure value k which is stored sorted or do I really need to write my own alg for this in function readx: #define AML 0x100 #pragma once ref struct md { unsigned int v ; unsigned long k ;}; ref class rvd { public : rvd( void ); public : unsigned long inc_ks( unsigned int ); public : void dm( unsigned long k0); public : unsigned int readx( int loc, unsigned long k0); public : unsigned int read ...Show All

• Visual C# Disabling Ctrl + Alt + Del

  I'm writing an employee login application where I of course don't want users messing with Windows while it is running; Therefore I need to disable ctrl+alt+del. I've spent 2 hours now trying to figure out how to do this in C#. I've read from some people that I have to write my own version of GINA. I've also read about using WlxLoggedOnSAS to capture the ctrl+alt+del event. Are these the best mothods for doing this If so how on earth can I accomplish this task Thanks for the help :) Frankly, you shouldn't be attempting this at all. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is meant to be a secure path into the OS; when a user is entering their password, we need to guarantee that he is interacting only with the operating system . If ...Show All

We made the warnings and error numbers explicit so no more overloaded meaning errors and warnings, I will post a list of these in a while combined with examples on when the will occur.
