• Visual Basic search string and return the following six characters.

  How would I best click a button and display the six characters that follow a specific part in a string. i would like to display in a label. for example search the above state ment for "button and " then return "display" to a label in the form. Thanks in advance!! you can either use Regex (regular expressions) as they are powerful and do good pattern searching but can be expensive (resources etc...) and may not be ideal for your situation. you can use some of the string functions like someString.SubString(0) etc...   now to obtain all text/string after a specific position:   dim myString as String = "button and display to an from and blah blah" ...Show All

• SQL Server Select *

  I know Select * has a performance impact and its better to use Select Column1, column2... But is this also true for Select * from #TempTables. Jens K. Suessmeyer wrote: No, actually they can hold indexes if you put some on the table. Tables variables can’t have indexes. Not quite true Jens. You can create a primary key on a table variable which will create a unique index. e.g. declare @tb table (pkid int identity primary key, i int) ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Hide a Map Control?

  I have been searching the SDK for this one... Is there a way to do this I created a custom code but it didn't work... Which one of the following do you mean by "a map control" 1. The built-in map control. If this one, use map.HideDashboard() 2. A custom control you have added. If this one, use the style attribute of you control and set visibility:hidden or display:none. 3. The map itself. If this one, do the same as #2 but for the DIV that holds the map. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checkbox checked in gridview?

  Hello, I've created a gridview bound it to a dataset and added a checkbox column. What I would like to have happen is when a user checks the box, then clicks the button, the row with the box checked will be updated in the database. After some intense searching, I finally got it to find the checkbox, but when I run the code, I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Can someone please help me figure out how to get it to recognize that the checkbox has been checked, so I can do my update Here's the code I'm working with: Protected Sub btnComplete_Click( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim row As GridViewRow For Each row In GridView1.Rows Dim ChkBoxCell As ...Show All

• .NET Development Windows Server2003 Web Edition and .NET 2.0

  This may be a dumb question, but I couldn't find the answer with a forums search. I am currently searching for an OS for serving computer. I ran accross Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, which pretty much is exactly what I need it for. The problem is, according to the 'compare server 2003' page, Windows Server 2003 Web Edition has NO support for .NET2.0. Now, does that mean that the OS package I purchase will not have .NET2.0 already with it, but I have the option of installing it from windows update/distributable package OR that I will never be able to install .NET2.0 on windows server 2003 web edition due to whatever reasons. If the former, I'm perfectly content to have install it after the fact but, if it's the latter, well then I'm b ...Show All

• Windows Forms Knowing when a .NET application is 'busy'

  OK, here's a good one... I'm currently working on a data driven application with sets on top of a networked instance of SQL server. At many points in the application the server response time may be more than a few a seconds causing the app to just 'hang' unresponsively until the call returns and updates it. In addition, the app does several potentially intensive processing routines client side which may also take a great deal of time and in turn cause the app to hang unresponsively. So in lieu of just searching empirically for all the potential hang spots in the application is there a way to just monitor application as a whole watching for hangs so I can pop a busy bar to the user For example, is there a way to watch the AppDomain or the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using DirectDraw in Windows CE 4.2

  My work is Nevigation system developing. This system's OS is Windows CE 4.2 and CPU is armv4i. Tool is Embedded Visual C++ 4.0(sp4) at my desktop. And important thing is I must use Directdraw. First, I used 'ddraw.h','ddraw.lib' in DirectX SDK. But in Embedded Visual C++, that didn't compile. So I searched all my hard disk, and found out those files in 'Windows CE Tools\wce500'. Second, I used those files, complie and build are success. But when I moved execute file to Nevigation system, that didn't work. Message was '.... can't find some linked files....' (this message is not accurately, because that was written by Korean) I think that is 'dll' problem. Third, I searched 'ddraw.dll' in my hard disk, and fo ...Show All
