• Visual Studio Express Editions Random numbers

  I want that some variables have a random number. I used that code: var1 = Int(Rnd * 25) var2 = Int(Rnd * 25) Var3 = Int(Rnd * 25) But I'v got still a problem.

• Windows Forms How do I make DataGridView events.

  Hi. I have a DataGridView which I programmatically add 6 columns. The initialize function is a private void() and is called on my Form_Load event. On this DataGridView, I have 4 ComboBox columns and two TextBox columns. I want to create an event for the first column only so when I select a name out of my ComboBox, the adjacent cell is auto-filled with a code from my SQL database. I only need help dealing with adding this event (in C#) as I can do the rest of the stuff quite easily. I've just never gotten involved in programming events (but got VS2005 to create them for me before). Can someone help please Thanks in advance Sean. Hi Damiaan, Thanks for your help once again!

• Visual C++ trying to use localtime.....

  Hello...I'm trying to have it display the local time of the users location.....It's weird that TickCount is in Environment:: .. but LocalTime is not. How do you get it to get the local time ! Thanks. GetLocalTime returns a void you cannot initialize a string with that and you cannot pass an unintialized pointer to GetLocalTime - well you can, but... Use this instead: SYSTEMTIME st; GetLocalTime(&st); System::String^ s = System::String::Format( "{0}.{1}.{2} {3}:{4}:{5}" ,st.wDay, st.wMonth, st.wYear, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond); System::Console::WriteLine(s); -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB6 to VB2005 compile errors

  I am trying to migrate a project from VB6 to VB2005. It is about 70,000 lines of code. After the upgrade wizard completed, it gave me a UpgradeReport.htm. In this are four sections. I have 181 Compile Errors, 1431 Design Errors, 3143 Warnings, and 11 Misc. It was my understanding that if I fixed the Compile Errors, the project would compile. It does not. I eliminated all of these Compile Errors. If I try to do a build, I get 102 Errors. Of course the last one says "Maximum number of errors has been exceeded." So, I don't know if I have 102 more fixes to get it to compile or 5000 more fixes. I would like to start by just getting it to compile and then set about fixing the other things. Am I going about this the right way ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I transfer data to an Excel file

  Happy New Year to all our readers! Hi everyone, I have a need to write data to an Excel file. I found a KB file, 306023, which gives a lot of information and an example that works. I now want to add some of this code to a DLL that I am building. However, having added all the recommended References, I still get errors. Typically, public Excel .Application m_objExcel = null ; gives an error: 1 The type name 'Application' does not exist in the type 'AnnsonDll.Excel' . I don't understand why I get the error here, but not in the example code. I have searched the web, but I can find no useful information on any of this. The KB file refers to using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; but this isn't recog ...Show All

  Dear Workflow Designer Re-hosting experts, I have been wrestling with this problem for some time and can't make sense of it. I have a deployed and working workflow that I wanted to provide readonly visualization for.  I had already successfully built a workflow monitor in a windows console app that admin users can use to visualize running workflows and get information about pending tasks, completed tasks etc.  I used the sample WorkflowMonitor code that came with the June CTP SDK. I then wanted to provide a similar visualization for the web users of the workflow application so they can see where their current task they are working on fits into the overall workflow that is running.  So, I used a combination ...Show All
