• Visual Studio Express Editions Line Numbering

  I was wondering, with the current code that I have for my line numbering system...how can I have it change the size of the font(the numbers) to match the size of that in the RichTextBox Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. [code] Private Sub DrawRichTextBoxLineNumbers(ByRef g As Graphics) 'Calculate font heigth as the difference in Y coordinate 'between line 2 and line 1 'Note that the RichTextBox text must have at least two lines. ' So the initial Text property of the RichTextBox ' should not be an empty string. It could be something ' like vbcrlf & vbcrlf & vbcrlf With RichTextBox Dim font_height As Single font_height = .GetPositionFromCharIndex(.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(2)).Y _ ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista BUG: Vista RC2 breaks SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT for writing to USB drives

  How can I save a website including the imagefiles an not only the htmlfile by using the system.net.webClient I tried a few ideas but no one really worked well. No, you don't replace the strings in the HTML file. What you need to do is parse that html file, get where exactly the .jpg are stored and then issue separate request for downloading each of those jpg file Mariya ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Translucent Overlay Sprite (i.e. "developer console")?

  How would I implement a console into my program   I have a solid dark blue DDS file loaded into a Texture2D variable.  I can map it to the screen at (0,0), but (as expected) it's just a rectangular solid blue blob.  I want to make it translucent, so that I can see some game elements moving under the console.  I am already using SpriteBlendMode .AlphaBlend , but I think that's for making transparent "holes" in your bitmap files, which isn't what I want.  I want the whole destination rectangle to be filled with my dark blue, but I only want the dark blue to be half intensity and blend in with what's underneath it. If you want to control the transparency or tint of a sprite then you ca ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to do these things?

  I am trying to make a schedule generator and I need some help on a couple of things. First of all - how would or how can I make a calander This is something basic and I'm wondering if there's a tutorial somewhere. Second of all, how can I make a database where the user input data (like when the worker can work) and then the program takes the data and puts it into the right slots. Thanks guys. I have to say I am really confused. SQL isn't working for some reason. I've never used Microsoft SQL - only MySQL. Ok so - how do I set up a database in which data is stored in columns and tables but I don't need to program to connect to anything OUTSIDE its network and doesn't need any other program installed (eg. MySQL.) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and Enterprise Architect 6.1

  I’m using TFS and Enterprise Architect 6.1 I have downloaded and installed Microsoft Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider Version 1.1 I opened up my EA project and configured the source control to use TFS. It found the server and prompted me to choose a folder to place the EA project under. I did so and everything worked fine. I then deleted the EA project from my local machine/folder and removed the folders from source control and repeated the process. However, this time when I choose TFS as the SCC provider and then clicked Save, I selected the server but I did not get a chance to choose a source control folder for my EA project. It just automatically filled in the project folder from the last time. When I c ...Show All
