• Gadgets new XMLHttpRequest() - I'm at a loss

   I have programmed a gadget and it works great. I uploaded it to the Live Gallery and then I tested it and it doesn't work anymore. var xml_request = new XMLHttpRequest();  xml_request.open("GET", url, true);    <----- breaks here! the url variable is valid. It just stopped working all of a sudden with no code change. All the other gadgets in my sidebar can access the internet just fine. I have no idea why it just stopped working. If I replace it with: location.href = url; it opens the url in IE just fine.

• Visual Studio Express Editions AppActivate Function

  My code activates a Windows application using the AppActivate function. The code then goes on to send keystrokes via the SendKeys function. I am using "SendKeys.SendWait".

• Visual Basic Choices for local data store in a VB.Net project?

  Hello, Just wondering what the preference out there is when it comes to using a database for a local data store in a vb.net client application... The application will store from approximately a 1000 records and up, and is used to import and export data to SQL server. I have completed an app using SQL Express as a backend, but do not find it flexible enough in terms of backing up data, or even having to make a change in the table. I'm finding that when a change is needed to be made in a table, and I have to republish the app, it sends over a new database wiping out all the data that was previously stored on the local machine. Where as if I used something like Access, I could go in and just add a column to a table... What are you ...Show All

• SQL Server DataSet Question (Should be easy :)

  This should be simple. If I have a DataSet... lets call it ImageDataSet in a report and it is a collection of ImageObjects that have two properties, lets say Photo and Caption. So if i were writing in c# to access the second image in the collection, I would say something like ImageObjectsCollection[1].Photo to access the second photo in the collection. My question is how can I do that within the reportviewer. Just access a specific image. Everything I have read only shows =Fields!Photo.Value in which it would get all of them or =First(Fields!Photos.Value) which would get the first in the collection and =Last(Fields!Photos.Value) which would access the last one in the collection. So I ask how could I specificaly access an im ...Show All

• Visual Basic MenuStrip and StatusStrip update problem in VS2005

  Hi, I have a program with a main window (MDI parent). This window has a MenuStrip and a StatusStrip. The MenuStrip has some items disabled and enabled depending on who is using the program. The StatusStrip shows the current user. I public subroutine is used to update both the MenuStrip and the StatusStrip. If the update subroutine is called from the main window (for example by clicking on a menu item that calls the subroutine) everything works just fine. I have created a login form. This window calls the update subroutine in the main window to update the MenuStrip and StatusStrip before it closes itself. The problem is that the MenuStrip and StatusStrip is not updated! If the Immediate window is used to look at the properties of t ...Show All

  Hi I'm very new to any kind of programming, so please bare with me. I'm trying to connect a PPC to a unit on a LAN using socket, and receive a Socket Exeption: No such host known.

• Visual Studio Crash of visual studio when model is incorrect

  We use team foundation server as a version tool for our DSL projects. However, since the debugging project runs only in the hive mode and the tfs-plugin is not available in the hive, it is clumbersome to keep the debugging project up to date. If the DSL is changed and you do not have the latest debugging project, then visual studio crashes during start-up if an old model was open the previous time the debugging project was used. The work around is to remode the model(s) from the debugging project, and to recreate them or to obtain their corresponding versions. I think the editor should give an error in the format of a message but a crash is rather drastic. My question is if you can also add some clue about what is wrong. This improve ...Show All
