• Visual Basic Convert byte to ASCII

  hi, How to convert byte array to ASCII in VB.NET System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.Getstring(y) it gives the data like 52414D41 . but i need "RAMA" instead of 52414D41. How Any help Thank U! Based on your result "53414D41", I assume that your array contains this hexadecimal bytes (&H52, &H41, &H4D, &H41). If this is the case, then you can convert it to string with either the default encoding or UTF8 encoding: Dim s As String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString( bytearray ) or Dim s As String = System.Text.Encoding. Default .GetString( bytearr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Should I have a separate build machine?

  I don't have a full grip over the build concept in TFS yet so I'm not sure whether I should have a separate build machine, or should just install the Build capability on the same server as the TFS itself. Could anyone elaborate on the pros and cons and the best practice recommended for a team of 15 developers with half a dozen projects Thanks Bob Please note that when you install a separate build machine, you will have to install VSTT also on the build machine to run tests as part of the build process. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Navigator Problem

  Hi, I was wondering how you see the code for the previous, first and delete buttons on the binding navigator. The reason being is I run my application and the user presses the + button which displays a new record but if they then press the previous or first record button the program crashes with an unhandled exception. This is because there are fields in the new record that are required. I have put in a try catch for the Save button click event as I can see the code when I double click the Save button. I can then handle the exception gracefully by displaying the error message to the user via a status strip label if fields are required ...Show All

  Hi all, I have to integrate some already translated technical descriptions into Visio (flow chart embeded in Word) with which I am having some problems.

• SQL Server Client Tools for SQL Express

  I am looking for information on Client tools for SQL Express. I am mainly looking for a way to script out the objects and then Add them back into a new file. I wish to do this so that I can ship the SQL Scripts for an application so that the user can load them up once distributed, and also to allow me to create the objects and load them at design time. I used to be able to have a common set of tables that I would use inside applications, and when working on a project load them if they were needed. One of the other reasons is the problem with the Beta2 and RC engines and the changes that have been made. I know that the two versions do not wor ...Show All
