• Visual FoxPro mscomm32 issue again

  For some odd reason everytime I try to install the Active X mscomm32 control on my form it tries to reinstall something from my distribution disks (the EXE that I create for my software not the original Fox disk). This happened a while ago and I simply uninstalled my EXE and program and reinstalled and it was fine. Today it started up again.  Here is what I did: 1) Ran    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mscomm32.ocx 2) Checked to see if the Active X was installed in the available Active X list (it Was) Any other ideas   ...Show All

• Visual Basic Code Simplification

  OK, first, i'm sorry if the thread name isn't as clear as it should be. The question is this: I have a code that uses up to 10 labels, depending on what the user would input at the beggining. (If the user says 7 labels, only 7 labels are shown, etc) I tried using this code at first since i didn't know how to use FOR, i had to repeat this 10 times, wich of course is huge since the only things that would be different are the "Dado1.Text" and the "Dado1.Visible" lines. (They would be changed for, Dado2, Dado3, and so on.) Dado1, Dado2,..., Dado10 are LABEL names. If i <= j Then temp = Int(Rnd() * 10) Dado1.Text = CStr (temp) If temp >= Int(Dificultad.Text) Then exito = exito + 1 End If ...Show All

• Commerce Server 3rd Party Payment

  Hi I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement a 3rd party payment solution from within the starter site. Has anybody used a 3rd party to collect payment from within CS I'm trying to figure out whether I need to create a new payment pipeline, or whether the existing one can be modified. We are planning on using Protx, who provide an ASP.Net integration solution. I'm a newbie by the way, so that might explain why I can't find such a solution. Paul Hi Joseph Thanks for the response. I'm presuming that I would have to make SOAP requests (or some other HTTP request) to the Protx website or am I missing the point of pipelines Regards Paul ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista PPID and keypair dependencies on RP's public key

  I want to clarify how the PPID and keypair for a self-issued card is computed. Andy Harjanto (on the CardSpace team) gave me the following information back on 11/30/2005 when I was researching CardSpace for the MSDN articles I wrote on the topic. Here's what he said at the time: * What's the "Personal Private Identifier" - how is it unique >> We use some derivation of site’s key, salt and cardId – it will be unique for each site. At the time I got this info, I was just happy to know how the PPID was computed, and that it prevented collusion between RPs. It didn't occur to me until later that hashing the site's public key into the PPID renders that key heavy . If you change your public key (i.e., your cert is renewed) all the P ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to lock a control on a design form

  Hi there, I've created a design form at runtime using "System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignSurface" and cousins. I now want to lock individual controls on the form depending on conditions. I know I can do it this way: TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(myControl)["Locked"].SetValue(myControl, true); but this seems irregular. Is there a more mainstream way or is this it. Thanks. Hi, That is the right way of doing it although you should probably check the the PropertyDescriptor exists before calling SetValue. PropertyDescriptor prop = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(myControl)["Locked"]; if (prop != null) { prop.SetValue(myControl, true); } Martin ...Show All

• Windows Forms showdialog, modal.

  Hi, I have a menuForm that launchs appForms. appForms are totally independent forms, the user can work in several appForms at the same time. My problem is when one of the appForms shows a MessageBox or any modal form, all other appForms and mainForm are blocked. i'd like only the form that show the MessageBox blocked, so user can work in others appForms. I use a system to imitate modality so only the parent form is blocked. Using the activate event in the parent so when parent is activate it pass activation to the child. And using the closed event in the child to get back to parent form. Put this system in a base class so all my forms have this special Show method that blocks only the parent. I was so happy. But then i realized th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help me design my .Net 3.0 application?

  Hi All. I've been studying C#/.Net 3.0 programming ever moment that I'm not shacked to my real job.
