• Visual Basic Accessing a Public variable from another form

  I know it's supposed to be easy, something like this: Class Form1 Public xxx as string="Fred" Sub Form1_Load etc xxx="Joe" Form2.ShowDialog() End Sub End Class Class Form2 Sub Form2_Load etc MsgBox(Form1.xxx) End Sub End Class But the message box shows "Fred". If I can only access values that are explicitly set in the first form, I might as well explicitly set them in the second form as well! Help, anyone, please Thanks, you need to have a reference of the first form in order to access it properly.

• Windows Forms error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

  Hi, I am developing a windows application in .net 2005 that runs a rather large stored procedure in sql server 2000 (about 165 parameters). I run a function that assigns all the select parameters from various check boxes and all the where parameters from various text/combo boxes as a datatable. In that same function, when i executedatatable (passing the connectionstring, commandtype, commandtext, and parameter array), i get a sqlexception with the error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. The statement has been terminated. I've searched high and low for an answer to my problem. Though many people have encountered this same error, it seems none have reac ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WaitForSingleObject doesn't work for Internet Explorer

  Hi, I start Internet Explorer by CreateProcess: CreateProcess(....., &procinfo) myhandle = procinfo.hProcess; After that I wait for Internet Explorer to be closed: DWORD dwait = WaitForSingleObject(myhandle, INFINITE); This code works fine on XP, but for Vista it doesn't. The WaitForSingleObject returns immediately. So, while Internet Explorer is still running. Does anybody now how to do this properly on Vista Thanks in advance. Klaas I know why WaitForSingleObject returns almost immediately, but I'll have to ask around for the "proper" method. When IE 7 launches it starts up with normal permission mode (often called LUA mode) it then checks th ...Show All

• SQL Server long running report can not be rendered in Report Manager or through Subscription

  I am using a stored procedure which will run about one hour and ten minutes to return a dataset to reporting services to generate a report. The report generation is OK if I run it inside Visual Studio 2005. Once it is deployed, it can not finish. Both cases I set "Do not timeout report execution". I even try to create a subscription to let it run throught. But it still can not finish. The traces information in ReportServer*.Log is like this: <Header> <Product>Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.1399.00</Product> <Locale>en-US</Locale> <TimeZone>Central Standard Time</TimeZone> <Path>C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\LogFiles\Rep ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a new version of an existing solution

  I have recently fininshed a program, "Basic Program", and I am intending to use it as the basis for another program, "Advanced Program". However I am at a loss as to how to create a copy of an existing project whilst keeping all the project settings etc. If I simply copy the folder, the project and the files (.sln and .ncb etc.) all keep their old names. Manually changing these names causes countless problems. Is there an easy way to copy and rename a solution Thanks in advance. Select the solution name in the Solution Explorer, then change the Name property in the Properties Window. If you don't see the solution name: Tools + Options, Projects and Solutions, General, turn on "A ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB2005 Express - Adding a Help File

  Trying to understand how a help file (.chm) is incorporated into a VB2005 Express application. I was assuming that at the time the program is compiled, the .chm file is 'bundled' with the application. Can access the help file no problem after running it at the development stage but when I publish the application and run it on another computer, I am unable to access the help file from the help menu. Therefore, does the .chm file need to be downloaded/installed with the application and is there a recommended location Looking at other applications on the computer this may be the case. Clarification would be much appreciated. Thanks Bill Hi Bill, the .CHM file isn't 'bundled' with your app ...Show All
