• Smart Device Development CeRegCreateKeyEx

  I am developing a little program on a pda, loaded with Windows Mobile version 5.0 OS 5.1.195 My desktop pc is running XP professional Version 2002 service pack 2 I am using ActiveSync version 4.1.0 From the desktop I am using VB6 to basically move data back and forth. I have already had problems with CeFindFirstFile and CeFindNextFile, and my conclusion is that it doesn't work for set up I have. I have now moved on to try and use CeRegOpenKeyEx, CeRegQueryValueEx, and CeRegCreateKeyEx as this could be useful to gain information from the pda currently connected to the pc. I found articles 306368 and 249144 and followed the instructions, but yet again it doesn't work. What I have noticed is that at the bottom of the article ...Show All

• Windows Forms flicking effect

  Hi all when I was discovering Visual studio .Net 2005, I tried to put about 50 buttons on a form and run the application, but I had got a strange behavior, that is the buttons started to be painted one after another making a feeling of flicking, I tried to many ways to overcome this by using double buffering but still got the problem Ahmed, Run the application in release mode as opposed to Debug and see if the problem improves. I don't know the exact details, but there is something in the new vshost.exe that causes controls to be drawn slower in debug. Ken ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Development using IDE and custom code

  Hey All, This is a very simple question and i was hoping with someone with a bit more development experience via an IDE might be able to help. I'm using Visual C# Express to develop an app and am loving it, i'm confused though as to how I can use both the IDE and write snippets of my own code. Take a very simple example. I have just embedded a TreeView component in my app and want all the nodes to be expanded by default. I can't seem to find the property in the Properties toolbox so i've gone in and written the line of code myself to expand all the nodes. Whenever I click back on the design view however, it kindly removes my code for me. Am I to expect that it's a case of using either the visual development tools or developing the code al ...Show All

• .NET Development explicitly setting varBinary sqldbtypes to exceed 8k bytes

  The limit on VB(max) is 2 gig, but how do you access that much via the parameter collection when there is no explicit sqldbType for this type insertCommand.Parameters.Add("@blob", SqlDbType.VarBinary).Value = entry.Blob where blob is a varBinary(max) column. Firstly, why is there no type for a varBinary(max) The docs say about sqldbtype. varBinary: A variable-length stream of binary data ranging between 1 and 8,000 bytes. Implicit conversion fails if the byte array is greater than 8,000 bytes. Explicitly set the object when working with byte arrays larger than 8,000 bytes. Fine, but how Try SqlParameter param = insertCommand.Parameters.Add("@blob", SqlDbType.VarBina ...Show All

• SQL Server Web Sync Snapshots eat up disk space

  Hi Heads up on TEMP files I've been running web Synchronisation for over a month. Just today some subscribers received a message warning of an "OS Error" could not retrieve file "dynsnapshotvalidation.tok". Sometimes they also got an error regarding low or no virtual memory. After much investigation it seems that the Web Server hosting the web sync IIS had literally no space left on the system c: drive. It also turns out that the \\Windows\TEMP folder contained over 9GB of snapshot files. It seems that when the Web server collects snapshot files from Data Server to deliver to the subscriber it creates a Temp copy on it's own local system. Unfortunately this temp data is not cleaned up and over time has jammed up the sy ...Show All

• .NET Development 64 bit remoting app searching for VJSharpCodeProvider

  We have a remoting app we are currently trying to port to 64 bit. It is written in C++/CLI. Whenever we try to connect to our application on the server throws the following exception: The assembly with display name 'VJSharpCodeProvider' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 2. (Full exception included in the bottom of this message). We do not use any J# in our application. As there is no x64 j# runtime I am at quite an impass as to what to do. It may be worth noting that we are connecting from a 32 bit client. I would be thankful for any suggestions.

• Windows Forms Creating Tabs to specific points in a Tab-delimited file

  Way back in my VB6 days (I know, I know), I could create a tab-delimited file that used tabs to specific characters, like this: Print #i, sNow; Tab(25); sVer; Tab(35); sType; Tab(45); sUser; Tab(60); sFlag; Tab(65); CStr(gUserID); Tab(72); sMsg This would cause things to appear at specific tab points, irregarless of the size of the text I was writing. I can see in .NET how I can use the ControlChars.Tab to create tabs in a line, like this: Now.ToString & ControlChars.Tab & My.Application.Info.Version.Major.ToString & "." & My.Application.Info.Version.Minor.ToString & ControlChars.Tab & sType However, these are just like hitting the "tab" key on the keyboard - they don't go to a specif ...Show All

• Visual Basic Printing DatagridView

  HI, I need help on this. I already have a populated datagridview and i need to print it. Whats the easiest way to do this in vb.net Thank you so much in advance! Stanley You can, indeed, print out the 'form' with your datagridview using the Print Form powerpack: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=747347&SiteID=1 However, it sounds like you don't want that: you would like to print the contents of the datagridview directly to a printed page.

• SQL Server INSERT INTO table From EXEC -

  Hello, How can I insert values from a query directly to a table in my database the query gets values from a linked server and i want to directly insert the results in my local database. This is how i thought would be done: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_INSERTfromEXEC AS BEGIN INSERT INTO dbo.mytable EXEC dbo.QuerytoLinkedServer END When i execute dboSP_INSERTfromEXEC procedure, then i get this error: The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "blahblah" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. Now, when I execute dbo.QuerytoLinkedServer procedure, i do get the values, there is no error. It just doesn't want to insert it I suppose. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...Show All
