• Visual Basic navigation between forms

  i have a project with 17 different forms all being housed in a mdi parent form. i have tried to impliment a previous button on most of the forms, which is complicated by the fact that there is more than one way to get to some of the forms at this stage, i have used a global variable which is changed each time a form is closed, then a case statement within the previousbutton_clicked event procedure that will use the variable to figure out which form to go back to. this seems to work, but i was wondering if anyone knows an easier or better structured way of achieving this functionality. any ideas will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance, Mark thank you, i will take some time to try to under ...Show All

• Visual Studio install errors in the vs2005.net,help

  have errors in install vs2005.net, show "error 1335", help!! in the logs produced, is there any mention of error 1305 The reason I am asking is because those errors relate to bad media/damaged media which also can cause the 1335 error afterwards. I would also suggest to do the following and see if it helps: Try to create an image of the DVD/CD using something like say, Nero. Then mount this image using a virtual CD tool like MSVCD and mount this image on it, then run setup from the mounted image try to place the media into another CD/DVD drive and install it from that, if you have one available Disable AV software as sometimes it can cause to such errors during installation. see if you can install it to ano ...Show All

• .NET Development OraclePermission

  I keep having this problem when I tried to run a program from another machine. {"Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.OracleClient.OraclePermission, System.Data.OracleClient, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed."} Any comments This is what I did.

• SQL Server How to get the stored procedure return type

  I am having a problem finding the stored procedure return type. I am having no problem with the getting the stored procedure parameters collection and processing as needed or determining if the parameter is an output column. But if the stored procedure returns a value, how to I determine that return value type with SMO. I would much appreciate it if someone could answer this... Steve Graddy Orgbrat Consulting Ok I am confused.. I understand about the ISOutputParameter property. let me give you an example and maybe you can explain.

• Visual Studio Team System Adding WorkItems from a Web Portal

  We have a case in which one of our project stakeholders is in fact a customer . He asked us if he can add bugs and requirements remotely to our Team System through a web portal (Web interface). I am fully aware that in this case an extra license is required (No problem regarding this point), however, the question is can this customer login to TS/TFS through a username/password and add new workitems of type Bug or Requirement through the TS project portal (Web Interface) or any other means If this is not possible, then is there any suggested workarounds for doing so  When do you think Microsoft will incorporate such a feature in TS/TFS Thanks in advance - Luai.     Hi, ...Show All
