  Does anyone know if there's a string function that removes new lines from a string (where return has been hit to start a new paragraph) It's kind of like the Trim functions I'm looking for, but these only work with trailing spaces, not where a new line has been started. Cheers! Keith myString.Replace(Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray(), String .Empty.ToCharArray()) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Application has failed to start

  Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out with an error message that I am getting in the following scenario: We use Syncfusion controls and I upgraded from an old version of Syncfusion to the latest and greatest version. Was a long process because I had to go into each of the 11 projects comprising my application and delete the old references to the old Syncfusion assemblies, and add new references to the new Syncfusion assemblies. That being done, I created a Wise Installer for my application, which I have done successfully many times before, but after the application is installed, I get the following message when I double click on the .exe to launch the application: The application has failed to start because the applicati ...Show All

• Visual Basic Simple Listbox control issue that I have trouble with!

  I have been searching the help files and tutorials I have, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure it out. All I want is a simple Listbox control, that should return either the tag or the text. This will eventually be used in a loop to get items from a database. Thus it should be eg. 1 = apple = fruit 2 = orange = fruit 3 = egg = etc. It is really urgent and I need help. If my English is not good enough or explanation to hazy just say please. [South African here] InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index This is the error that keeps reoccuring. I can't extract the text value ,because the index stays out of range. Any ideas how this ...Show All

• SQL Server membership users MISSING

  I created 2nd copy of my entire asp.net website folder. I tried opening that 2nd folder in VWD and ran it. when i was logging into the membership it wont authenticate anymore. I opened the database to double-check the users and found the exactly the same database (as I expected) that I have on the 1st copy website folder. All the users are listed there. I opened the "ASP.NET web Application Administration" and it says I have no users nor any role and that is really impossible coz I can see the aspnet_Membership table having all the users and other info. If i run the 1st copy website folder, no problem at all. Why is that Can someone explain this to me pls Im confused. im a student. big thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic Stored Procedures

  Hi everyone, My question is how can i set a var with a table name to use it in a SELECT statement for example. EX: Declare @table varchar Set @table = 'mytable' Select * From @table I've got 1 stored procedure wich i want to use to get and update 2 tables. For that reason i want to know how to do this because having 2 stored procedures when the only difference are table names its not a good solution. Thanks :) Tiago: You can do what you ask with something like: exec ( 'select * from ' + @table ) A safer method is something that does not potentially incur problems from hacking is something like: if @table = 'A' select * from A else select * from B The other comment I have ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Vista shared files

  I am storing shared files for our VISTA application in CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS rather than CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA so that our users can see the files. The CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA folder is hidden and we need our users to be able to share these files with other users and share these files across the network so hidden system files doesn't work for us at all. Why does the SHGETFolderPath API and the constant CSIDL_COMMON_Documents work on every operating system including 2000, XP Home, XP Pro, and VISTA yet fails on Windows Server 2003 Looks like a windows server 2003 defect to me and it is causing problems for us. Just a wild guess, it may be that that the location gets created by some action so on a clean install the folder isn't ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Get text from a Textbox.

  This is going to sound like a very stupid problem. I'm trying to get a string out of the textbox (using Windows.forms) then parse that string into a double. double payment = Double .Parse(ConsoleApplication1. Program .Monthly.Text. ) I cant seem to get it to work.. and what I get is that the string I'm trying to parse is being passed in the inccorect format. Help If you assigning the value from within the form that contains the textBox, all you need to do is the following (textBox1 is the name of your textbox): double payment = Double .Parse( this .textBox1.Text); However, the fact that you are using ConsoleApplication1 makes me beleive this is not a windows application.
