• Visual Studio Express Editions vb express code snippet problem

  I am trying to work through the "Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition for Dummies" book. I have installed VBE on 2 machines. Both seem to have corrupted code snippets. This is all I get when I insert the code for the mortgage calculator: Dim futureValue As Double = 0 Dim payment As Double payment = Pmt(0.05 / 12, 36, -1000, futureValue, DueDate.EndOfPeriod) Shouldn't there be more Am I missing something Thanks. It is possible that the book writers had some 'beta' or pre-release information/files from Microsoft that got changed before the release of VB EE. Maybe Microsoft re-thought how snippets would be used and trimmed them all down. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Combobox databinding -- almost there!

  Hi I have a table similar to this: Type Name 1 Bob 2 Claire 3 Peter Type is the primary key. On a form I have a combo box that I want the user to pick a name. The value stored though needs to be the primary key, here's my question: In access you can create combo boxes that display both columns within a combo but when an item is selected it stores the first column only. How do I replicate this using Visual Basic 2005 - how do you guys do this If I populate the combo with the primary key only, it's difficult to use since the user doesn't know which [Name] belongs to which [type]. Your help is appreciated! Thank you very much for your help :-) This is exactly w ...Show All

• SQL Server HELP!!! Can not restore database from only back up I have

  I had to transfer my database from one server to another. Both are running SQL 2000. I backed the database up and moved it to the new server however when I try to do a restore I get the following message: The media set for database "xxx' has 2 family members but only 1 are provided. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. I did some searching and found a couple of posts that mentioned something about the back up including 2 files. My problem is that the machine I backed this up from crashed when it was shut down and would not reboot so all of the data and the original database do not exist. Is there any hope of restoring this database. It is pretty critical. Thanks, Melissa :-) Gre ...Show All

• Visual C++ Very simple member variable question

  Hello all, I'm using VC++ 2005. I've got an MFC dialog app to which I've added a ComboBox control. I right-click the control and select "Add variable...". In "Category" I select "Value" and in "Variable name" I give the variable name "m_intComboBoxVal". I hit "Finish". But when I try to look for the declaration in the source files for the dialog, I don't see it anywhere. It is listed in Class View when I select my dialog class...when I right click the member variable and select "find all references" it finds one reference in the dialog header file but on an empty line. Where does the wizard insert the declaration for my variable &n ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Does Downloader allow cross domain calls?

  I'm developing a WPF/E application and I'm trying to download content using the Downloader object. While this works when the url property points to a relative path the downloader fails (no event is ever fired) when the uri points to another site/domain. Is there a security restriction preventing cross domain downloader calls Wouldn't be usefull an onError event on the downloader were you could retreive information on why your request failed Thanks I wonder, why is that From what I've read "the Downloader object is modeled after the XMLHttpRequest (XHR) set of APIs..." surely you can download xml content from different servers (domains) using XMLHttpRequest why this is not the case when it comes to the Downloader object An ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Is it possible to have multiple projects in Smart Device Solution

  Hi all, I had a solution that contained one project for my PocketPC. Now I have added an existing project to the solution. Within the PocketPC exe application, I wanted to make use of some of the properties/methods of the classes supplied in the referenced project. After adding a reference to this project in my PocketPC exe project I can't seem to find it when making use of the ' using ' keyword. For example, the referenced project in my solution is called ConfigurationProject, and after adding a reference to this project in my PocketPC project, and then typed ' using Config... ' on a Form in my PocketPC project that needs to make use of the referencing project, it does not get recognised. I am sure I read somewhere that its not possible ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums I have a fairly simple macro writing question (in Word).

  I have used a mail merge to create labels of products with relevent pictures attached to each label. However I have to select all and update to get the images to appear once the merge has run and then the sizes all change to a very small size. I have made a macro to resize the images one at a time to 9% of the original, but I cant find out how to resize all the images (about 300 this time). Ideally I would like to resize them based on how many records were merged, but i suppose it would work if i just did a loop for a static amount. any ideas thanks thanks very much, thats exactly what i wanted to do. i havent used vba or macros at all for over 6 years so cant remember any syntax or commands which was wha ...Show All

• SQL Server First connection timeout when using full text indexing

  After rebooting the computer (anytime), the first call to the database will almost always time out.  This did not happen prior to adding the full text index to the database.  It will time out even in the SQL Express Management Suite. After that first time out, it works fine. We tried a workaround by making our first call to the database a "dummy" call and wrapping it in a try/catch. That didn't work either.  Any suggestions Regards, Pat   Mike Wachal - MSFT wrote: Someone suggested that your issue may be described in the KB, check it out here .

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# Program -- Win32 API SendMessage(...) Problem

  Hi Guys, In a C# form OnShown() function, there are following code: i = Win32API.SendMessage ( this .btnSplitUnits.Handle, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0); i = Win32API .

• Software Development for Windows Vista WTSVirtualChannelOpen is failing for Vista

  Hello There, Need your attention on a small issue. WTSVirtualChannelOpen is failing and the GetLastErrorText returns “incorrect function” for Vista( RC2 and latest nov 17 ultimate release for developers). I tested this from both, 1. within an application in the user context, 2. as well as a service in session 0 on Vista. Fails in both the cases. This API returns a valid handle for XP / 2k3 and below. In Vista, as expected, the session ID of the application in which I use this call is Non-Zero. i.e. 2 or 3 or above. Whereas, in XP or 2k3 etc. the session ID is 0 because I run this application in the console session. Thanks, -dchawla. ...Show All
